Big Y Amherst is one of my regular, weekly shopping stops. I especially enjoy their weekly sales on…read moremeat: The quality and value are very good. However, they play allot of games. I stopped in yesterday, 3/16/22, and they give me this BS story that all of the registers are down, except 2, but I can still download the app and also save ten dollars. People should seriously contemplate the kind of world we are moving in to, where we are all pawns lying to each other, to further enslave ourselves into the automated digital system. This type of system eliminates jobs, and feeds into the surveillance state, by tracking everything we are buying. Customers should be treated like people, as opposed to a commodity, where everyone's personal data is collected and sold off as a product. Now, if what I'm saying sounds a little crazy, let me ask you a question: In a nice world, do we flagrantly lie to people that registers aren't working, making people wait 30 minutes to check out of the store if they don't embrace your new technology? If this happens to you, and you care about living in a future where we still love each other, and treat people with real dignity and respect, I recommend shopping somewhere else. Don't allow the system to force you into their authoritarian nightmare world. Rather, you force them to be more caring about their employees and customers.

This store was terrific for a long time but it's gone downhill in the area of customer service…read more Tonight I was selecting some produce and an employee, who I later learned was actually the manager, stopped in front of me with a huge buffing machine saying "I have to clean here." He did not ask me politely to move, nor did he thank me for moving. He basically told me to get out of the way. I was surprised but continued to shop. Toward closing time another employee yelled in a loud booming voice, "Listen everybody, the store"s closing in 5 minutes. All customers have to get out!" I kid you not. A new Aldi's being built in a nearby community. Hopefully they will be better. Low prices should not mean low customer service

Stop & Shop in Hadley is a large full-service grocery store that covers most everyday shopping…read moreneeds, with a broad selection of produce, packaged goods, household essentials, and a reasonably sized deli and bakery section. We walked into a layout that is familiar to anyone who shops regularly at Stop & Shop locations, and the store generally carries enough variety that most shoppers can complete a full grocery run without needing a second stop. The store's selection remains one of its biggest advantages. We found everything from specialty sauces and organic products to seasonal items and household staples, which makes it a more practical option than a local market for a full cart of groceries. The produce section was well stocked on our visit, and the deli and bakery offered enough variety to cover both quick meals and planned cooking. The online ordering system and pickup service add convenience, though we have not used it extensively ourselves. Across different visits, the biggest criticism is around consistency rather than product quality. We have noticed that sale items are occasionally out of stock, checkout lines can move slowly when only a few registers are open, and certain departments can become understaffed during busy periods. Those issues are not dealbreakers, but they are worth factoring into the timing of a trip, especially on weekends or holidays. For a large format grocery store in the Hadley area, Stop & Shop delivers on selection and convenience, though the experience can vary depending on the day and time you visit. Planning for a slightly slower checkout and checking stock availability for sale items ahead of time helps smooth out some of the friction.

The grocery store is connected to the restaurant and so it's nice when I can grab lunch and then grab some kimchi on the way. I ate at the restaurant and was disappointed by the kimchi they gave me with my meal (which I assume is the one they sell in the grocery store bc it states the kimchi is homemade) So I opted for the kak doo gi (radish kimchi). It was super good. One of the best I've had in a while. Even tho it's pricy, it is def worth it. This is definitely the best Korean grocery store around.

They have limited selection but have all the basics you need to cook a decent Korean meal. Price-wise I guess its same as the H-Mart (the big Korean chain store all over US).

Cousins has everything, from fresh fruit, to an array of canned foods, to pipe screens and sketchy malt liquors. A bit out of character for Amherst, but when you need a store that has all thirty-some varieties of Arizona tallboy cans, it's the place to go. Props for having such a well-decorated alley, too. Only problem is that it closes at ten: a shame, because it's better than DBmart in all regards but hours. It seems to be far less popular, though, probably because it's a bit tucked away and not as convenient to UMass students as its competitor.
