Homeland — Local services in Bartlesville

If it wasn't for the staff I wouldn't give this place even 1 star, but the staff here really are some of the best people you'll ever find working in this town. Seriously, they are top shelf, cream of the crop far as I'm concern, but man 'oh man, it's like going back in time. A real diabetic's nightmare with a dusty, dirty, dinginess appeal. Not sure why they don't offer any organic food what so ever here. I guess Homeland's Research team didn't deem this part of town worthy with the low to mid-income households that surround it. They do in fact have another location on Washington BLVD that does offer more along with organic options too, but you have to pay through the friggen nose for it.

..but if you're into eating food packed with GMO's, high fructose corn syrup, polyunsaturated fats, vegetables from China, artificially colored/chemically enhanced meats to extend perception of packed on dates, or packaged food with food dyes to increase anxiety, cause heart arrhythmias and headaches, then honey this is your place!

Pro Tip: Walmart is about the same if not worse. Billie's Health Food Center is more of a vitamin shop, but Aldi's does have a few options if you don't mind everything being wrapped in plastic and thrown at a record rate into a cart.

*Truthfully and IMO you're better off saving your money and heading down to Tulsa to hit up Natural Grocers, Sprouts, Trader Joes', Whole Foods, or even Reasor's (who has healthy options +it's a Oklahoma owned...

I like the idea of having a small grocery store nearby to pick up one or two items quickly, but this Homeland location does not seem to be set up with that in mind. Its selection is too wide to be a convenience store but too narrow to be a good grocery store. The higher prices—even with the near-pointless membership card—certainly remind me of a quick-stop location’s price inflation. The oddly-designed checkout lanes are definitely not built for speed or efficiency, and the often limited number of cashiers made me question my choice to shop here nearly every time I visited.

Walmart is just down the block, and outmatches this location in every way, meaning the only reason I can see for one to shop here is to avoid Walmart; and if that is the only reason to visit Homeland, then there are better Walmart alternatives in...

According to google and the sign on the door this location is open until 9pm but this evening, February 19th 2024 they decided to lock the front door and close the register at 8:05pm. The locked door is not only a big OSHA violation but completely against Homeland policy. Closing the register is clear incompetence and probably trying to leave early. This was also apparent for the employee sleeping in the fetal position on the bagger shelf at register and the other employee sweeping dirt and then shaking the dust broom 3 feet off the ground as I'm walking by.... PLEASE DO BETTER HOMELAND EMPLOYEES, THAT WAS...
