Market District Supermarket — Local services in Columbus

Market District New Albany has recently been renovated and includes accessibility upgrades to some areas of the store. There are 10-15 accessible parking spots close to the entrance and a smooth transition from the street to sidewalk. The entrance consists of large automatic sliding doors and an employee is always in the entryway for any necessary assistance. The aisles are plenty wide for chair access and the shelving units are lower than those of a traditional grocery store. All shelves were fully stocked with a great variety of foods that fit dietary restrictions as well. The customer service desk did include one spot with a lowered counter height. There are also plenty of updated motorized carts for those who choose to use them. Most of the attended checkout lanes have card readers placed fairly high up, but they do have a lower swing-out counter at chair height. Self checkout stations are positioned lower. Lastly, with new COVID protocols it would be hard for a visually impaired individual to recognize what "direction of traffic" each...

The produce is fantastic! However I can't deal with the self checkout. The bossy lady that tells you what to do such as "begin scanning" was enough to keep me from ever going back. You only about 3 seconds before the voice says "if you are finished, touch pay" I had 15 items and the voice told me to do that every single time because apparently I wasn't scanning fast enough. I found myself telling her to shut up 15 times. It was enough to make me scream!!!! There is no option to mute the bossy lady voice like there is at Walmart, Kroger and Meijer. This needs to change. When I asked a staff member if there was some way to mute because I couldn't take it anymore. She said "I have to listen to it all day long". Good grief! Seriously, this has to be changed. Next time I will go straight to customer service prior to shopping and see if they have fixed the bossy lady voice. Their was only one regular check out lane open and there were several people in line. I don't think I should be harassed by the bossy lady voice or force to stand in a long...

I have for the past 18 years ordered Thanksgiving dinner from the big red restaurant with the front porch and was mostly satisfied. This year, Nov. 2021 I decided to try Giant Eagles Market District in New Albany, OH for a change.

Holy cow! What a great decision. The food, portions, service and price was most excellent. Without a doubt the best Thanksgiving feast ever. All of the items were packaged in containers that could be either heated in the oven or microwave.

Anyone who has ever ordered a large meal to go knows if you microwave each item at a time, by the time you're finished the first several items are already cold. So if you could put them all in the oven at the same time, all items hot and ready to serve at the SAME TIME!

Advantage Market District. Taste, while Bob's was good Market District's was great.

Ok, enough for now, you get the point...best easiest Thanksgiving...
