Stop beating about the bush and let your racist self be known. You seem to have problem with minorities withing malls. Quit it now and be realistic. There are so many malls you can pick and choose. Drive your freaking car anywhere you want for food. What do you mean by bussed? Thats racist!!

There is a Wegman's in Ocean Twp/Wanamassa. I know it's far from you but if you're ever in the area, stop in and enjoy it. It's quite nice.

It may be the same bus that drops them off at Pathmark as well. I know this because I picked up my girlfriend from there and she lives on the Blvd. So what makes you believe the great employees from that nice Shop Rite are not from Paterson?
actually the great people from shoprite are all students from PV, former students from PV or parents of students from PV.....lol

If the help is incompetent and the food is expired, you should be complaining to the manager and/or corporate office.

umm...fair lawn is a white area hahaha.

And Shop Rite is by far the best of the regular grocery stores, although I find the A&P in Washington Twp (Bergen) to be quite nice...always clean...and my mom always goes there if certain things are on sale. We hate stop and shop. And I've only been to a Pathmark once and hated that place too.

I go to the ShopRite in West Caldwell for the most part, but another decent quality grocery store is the Foodtown. I'm not sure how widespread these are and I've never really seen them outside of this area of NJ, but there's one in Cedar Grove and one in Caldwell, both of which I think are underrated (although the Cedar Grove branch is larger, brighter, has more of a selection, etc.)

The Fair Lawn Pathmark and Shop-Rite are actually quite diverse in terms of clientele, as both stores tend to draw large crowds from nearby Paterson.

I HATE both of those stores. The people there, both the Fair Lawn people and the Paterson people, are mean, nasty, and rude. Both stores are always out of items. There's never enough help, especially at night at the Pathmark. And the crowds can get rough, especially at night at the Pathmark.

When I want to go to Shop-Rite, I either go to the one in Rochelle Park or the one in Ramsey (it's a trip, but it's SO much better than the Fair Lawn store). The Rochelle Park customers are also pretty diverse, but they seem to be more civilized than the Fair Lawn crowd. The store is much better managed as well. The Ramsey Shop-Rite is owned by the same family that owns the Fair Lawn store, and yet, the Ramsey store is so much better managed.

I also like the A&P in Midland Park. The yuppies can get annoying there (as well as in the Shop-Rite in Ramsey), but I can deal with them better than a person telling their two-year-old kid to "Shut the f--k up before I beat the snot out of you in front of everyone" and then doing it. The Washington Township A&P is OK, but last time I went there, they had yet to update the store like they have most of the others. Sometimes I hit the Saddle Brook A&P, but the people there can be pretty surly as well.

I don't know how Foodtown stays in business, but I'm glad they do, because the Foodtown in North Haledon is BEAUTIFUL since they completed their remodel. Their deli is terrific. They have a trained chef in charge of the deli, and he makes some incredible stuff. (For those of you who watched Real Housewives of NJ, do you remember when the housewives went shopping in the yuppie supermarket? It was the North Haledon Foodtown.)

But Fairway has become my favorite. Great food, great sale prices, lots of obscure (yet delicious) gourmet items. And the crowd is TRULY diverse. People of all races, ethnicities and socioeconomic levels shopping together in harmony. That's the way it should be everywhere.

Well, I for one, will only shop in all-white stores, because there is never any rudeness; everyone is so sweet and friendly. Not to mention the children are so well-behaved. Hmmm. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever encountered a rude white person, or a white person whose children were off the wall.
