Worst grocery store and why

[southernnaturelover]

I live in a small town and the worst one here is probably Piggly Wiggly. Most of their customers are country folk, and there never seems to be any skim milk, just 2% or whole. There's never any 100% whole grain bread, just white and stale wheat. No free range organic eggs. I could go on and on. Winn-Dixie is a little better, but not great.

I get annoyed if there is not a good selection. I'll drive 45 miles to go to Publix or Sam's Club.

I got zucchini for .68 a lb and corn, .20 an ear. the corn was actually pretty good. Generally I agree, as I have said, the produce is hit or miss and the quality sucks.

I've shopped at both the neighborhood and 2 Super Walmarts in my City and for about the 100 regular items they very rarely if ever have lower prices than Costco and Food 4 Less or even Winco. In my city.

I am lucky though to have 15+ different companies including Walmart that sell groceries within a five mile radius of where I live. Competion is fierce around here and when you toss in the Farmers markets

Walmart - too big, too crowed, crappy selection and rude employees. Parking is also a nightmare.

C town and Aldi are very bad here, and Walmart looks relatively cheap compared to High end grocery shops on the other side of town.

any east indian grocery store is also the worst grocery store.

I know what you're saying, and this is an area that is booming, and runs the gamut of poverty to very upscale. If I am a business, which demographic to I want, Duh? We had a Piggly Wiggly which was taken over by BILO. Folks bemoan the loss of the Pig, but the Pig really did not have a clue about the modern shopper. It is the closest store to my house, but if I needed anything the least bit exotic, like Chutney or fresh basil, they didn't have it. Thankfully, I had a Publix nearby.

There are those who want to buy chitterlings, or neck bones of whatever, or oxtails, but that is not me. Somewhere, a store should still serve the people who want the old fashioned southern things, but that's not me.
