Ramey's #11 — Local services in Collins

The prices are high. Of course only grocery store in area. Looks like the deli does well enough.. always a line for their hot plates. Im not gonna stand in long line to see for myself lol. So, your call on that. The pick 5 on meats..its lacking. I just moved here from Tn..better pick 5's at those markets than at this one in Collins. I understand prices are up everywhere due to the economy being what it is but Lordy. Needless to say watch for their sales and pray that the sales match what is needed in your household. The store is clean. I haven't had any bad experience with their employees as they seem very nice but are very busy. Being a diabetic it's hard to shop for the foods I need in a small town. Generally have to go to Mcgee to Walmart to find the items I'm looking for. As the saying goes..you pay for convenience. Price point is why I rated it with 1 star as that means alot to me. The parking lot isn't that big so if going there try to go on their non peak hours. Otherwise, you will be there a while standing in lines to check out. Rameys probably will never listen to the complaints on price points because their business is booming there. Good luck to all and simply be smart on your purchases. Personal note to management at Rameys..I understand the name of the game is earnings and the bottom line. Also remember, a community of people looks to our area businesses for understanding as well as not charging so high that it hits people hard on their earned income. If the the distribution center that your buying from is that expensive perhaps one should question the prices. If your marking up over triple your price then your trying to get rich quick and not looking at the bigger picture. Convenience stores mark triple shouldn't be this way with a grocery store. Tn grocery stores bought from local farmers to keep prices down..it aided the community as well as the people. Still the prices of other goods was high as those were from distribution warehouses. Huge thank you to our local farmers. We...

Ramey's #11, I understand that the reason for the new set up of the store, or thinking I do, I believe it has to do with security. Shoplifting must be a concern. The navigation of the store is inconvenient. The way that its setup is a major headache if you are at the checkout area and have forgotten an item in the produce section it takes some effort to get that item quickly, there's no way to go straight to it, the inconvenience is that you have to leave the checkout area go to the back of the store then back to the front, get that item then go to the back again and make your way back to the front to the check out area. That's messed up. After shopping, it's tiring to have to make that trip to the back from the front, back to the front, then back to the back and back to the front to check out. Surely, there was something else you could have done. Seems it may have been cheaper and more convenient to post a guard at the exit instead of the inconvenience to every customer who shops at your store. That's just my opinion of your set-up, me knowing that the owner (Brad Ramey) doesn't shop at this particular store, so it's not an...

The store is well maintained, most of the staff is friendly and helpful and clean. Rating 1 star for the poor customer service I received at the Collins store. I found what I was looking for easily enough, waiting in line for 5-10 minutes (4th in line) which they are usually have long lines when they have good sales running and don't mind the wait. However when it was my turn to be checked out today the cashier told me 'Sorry I'm closing." Her register light was still on when I got in line. No flashing light on the register indicating to customers that the register is going to be closing in the next few minutes to not get in that one. No barrier or marker on the belt saying register closed and didn't bother to say anything when I got in line. For the cost of groceries here being a bit inflated I would think Mr. Ramey's would strive to have excellent customer service as a company. I would much rather shop locally and support a local buisness, however if it takes me driving a bit farther to get better service at...
