CTown Supermarkets — Attraction in New York

What I like: place is clean, not too many people in the store, no long lines, cheaper options for deli meat than other grocery stores in area.

What I don't like: a lot of the food is expired. You have to check the dates on EVERYTHING you buy. These guys have no problem selling you food that is way past the expiration. Buyer beware.

Please, for the love of your neighbors, don't ever shop there (most of their food is not safe to...

In reading the reviews, I can agree that the decor is outdated (personal note - I don't care about this, it's a grocery store not a spa), you have to check expiration dates, and occasionally you'll find something is more expensive than you might be able to find elsewhere, though this is not nearly as ubiquitous as some reviewers would have you believe. One thing that I keep seeing that I don't get is the "rude" complaints. In 7 years of going there 4-6 times a week I have never been treated rudely. The cashiers make the occasional mistake, but have never been rude. I find some of them downright charming. If the cashiers are rude to you, my experience suggests that you might be...
