I went to return a box Jiffy cornbread the box that I open and a bunch of little bugs in it after I poured the milk in I want to get a couple of bags and I came back and all the bugs floated to the top I had but two boxes so the other box I took back to the store the owner of the store after I told him about the one box of Jiffy you came from behind the counter and he pushed me and told me to get the hell out of his store then he pushed me again I turned around and I walked out of his store to call the police I waited for the police to come from 5 in the evening until their store close this happened on a Sunday so they close early on Sunday about 6:30 the police never came the next morning I called the police again and reported the incident the police did take the report from me and they gave me a report number there was a detective assigned to it but the detective never get back in touch with me so I called her she told me that she was trying to catch the owner because I guess there was some type of deception going on about who owned the store that's the last I heard I'm still waiting for him to be arrested for putting his hands on me he had no right to touch me I'm very disturbed about that again I'm 64 going on 65 years old I live in this neighborhood I've been here for 20 years he just came besides that I was so having so many problems would be able to even go in the store I paid him $300 cash just so they would leave me alone when I come into the store to shop to get groceries he took the money I guess he was just trying to get some more money out of me I like to finish this with I've been very naive I wanted to bring this to the public especially to the people that live in my neighborhood where the store is he needs to be held accountable for his...

I'll start with the staff. The people on the floor and registers have always been helpful and friendly. My rating of 2 is about the quality of product sold there, in particular the fresh produce, meat and dairy. The "fresh" chicken seems to be an ongoing problem. Many times it is spoiled directly from the package or does not hold in the refrigerator, up to the expiration date. The produce can be iffy, as well. Somethings that are in plastic have had signs of decay, such as liquidy spinach; moldy zucchini, still at full price. Pricing can be high, unless you are shopping their specials, which usually means it's food on its last leg. The same is true for dairy, like half and half.

I've gone there many times through the years. I can't say King Cole Foods is different from any other grocery market, but I've purchased so many items therefrom: Nabisco Cream Of Wheat (the one-minute kind); jumbo eggs; Salad Express (the expiration date isn't always far away); Pioneer Sugar; Kool-Aid; Banquet Sausage; Bob Evans Sausage (maple-flavored); liquid coffee creamers by both International Delight and Nestle Coffee-mate; Kraft and Sargento cheeses; Ragu Spaghetti Sauce (7-Herb Tomato, the best for me!); Mueller's Angel Hair Pasta (I prefer "capellini"); Contadina Tomato Paste; Del Monte Diced Tomatoes (with basil and oregano); and Riceland Long Grain Rice. There've been more, but I can't remember everything. To each his/her own, correct? There's no organic section, just so you know. I hope...
