Pande Grocers Canton — Local services in Canton Township

I’ve shopped at this store for years, primarily because it’s just around the corner from my home and the staff always treated me like family. Although their inventory can be somewhat limited, the team—and especially the long-time cashier—recognized me every visit, greeted me with a smile, and their flexibility, even allowing me to pay later for small purchases under $5 if I was ever short on cash, truly showed their commitment to customer relationships.

Unfortunately, last couple of my recent experiences have been disappointing. A new cashier refused to let me pay a $3.99 bill by card. He balked at giving me my one-cent change and then quipped, “I know you’d ask for it—I’ve seen plenty of people do the same.” . On my recent visit, even when I reminded him I am a regular and my total was $7.98 (close to the $10 threshold), he demanded cash again. It’s standard practice at grocery stores across the U.S. to accept cards even for small purchases, and I was surprised and frustrated by his attitude.

On the bright side, he handed over the correct two cents without further comment this time. But these negative experiences have left me feeling unwelcome.

I am not going there again, I don’t even know how many times I have been charged extra before. This is clearly cheating when 2 out of 3 items has different price than...

Anand Bazaar is a wonderful place to shop for all of the dried legumes you need plus lots of fresh vegetables and many spices, for less money than you would spend other places.

Lately I've been getting fresh slabs of paneer from the refrigerator in the back and we love the frozen onion kulcha and garlic naan. If you're lucky, there will be delicious samosas in the warming case by...
