Haggen — Local services in Bellingham

i thought the owner or the general manager or at least the grocery store manager might like to know a few things about the night cashier that was working there this evening.

I worked in a grocery long enough to know when customers come in to purchase grocery items to be helpful and respectful, pleasant to deal with no matter what time during OPEN hours they chose to come in. Sometimes i work all day and to get caught up i will work well into the night. Not that this is anyone’s business. Being rude to customers to get them to leave your business so you can go home was a huge no no when i worked in a grocery store. Is that okay nowadays? I am full grown adult and i am well aware of what time it is and how much time i have left to shop. Maybe if this okay with people that own and run this grocery store you may as well close at 11:00pm or 10:00 pm. Heck why have posted hours at all? If it were my business i would be nice to customers all the time. 10:50 is when i checked out and the cashier was like some one you don’t want around your clients. FYI

What happened to RR ranch beef? the reason why the Haggens was so successful because they had product like RR ranch steaks that no one else has. It was worth paying a premium because haggens had better product. if you stop carrying the product you’ll lose the business and end up bank rupt like albertsons was before. Who ever runs this grocery chain store stop stepping over dollars to pick up dimes. There is such a thing as being greedier than smart. Stings a little doesn’t it? But i still...

First I should point out I'm mostly a Sehome Haggen shopper. On occasion I stop at Meridian when on that side of town and short on time. For the most part I have had a positive experience over time but have noticed the meat and produce quality has been slipping in the last year or more. Months ago when I was cooking thin cut meats, mainly pork and steak, in a pan a foam-like stuff formed around the meat as it cooked. I asked about it in the meat dept. saying it didn't used to do that and was told, "so broil it". So I stopped buying it. Steaks from this store, even from the meat counter, seemed tasteless so I stopped buying those. The meat overall seems to have a lot of water added. I bought some apples this week that were mealy. I also bought a roasted chicken for dinner that same night that I also feed my little dog who normally likes it and has it often without the skin. It was very fatty and somewhat slimey. The containers were anywhere from 1/4 to almost 1/2 full of liquid that the chicken is sitting in. I couldn't eat it and neither would my dog. I don't know if this Haggen is buying meat from a different source or is changing how it handles meat - IE additives and water - but something has changed. I gave a 2 only because of the...
