Hannaford — Local services in Farmington

First and last time here. I am going to stay with Walmart. Though a clean store and clean employees, low variety for a lage store. I asked an employee where the A-1 stake sauce is. His reply? After looking to the ceiling for the answer, he said, "that should be in the condiment aisle." Duh. I just said thanks and walked away. How can you work in a food store and not know the number aisle where something is? I worked in a major food store for 19 and a half years in the Midwest.

The moment you walk into the Farmington Hannaford, all you smell is fish. You'd think the fish was by the front door, but no, the fish is at the back of the store. I tried shopping here again recently because the power was out at Walmart, and never again. I had to gag my way through the store to get just a couple of items because the smell of fish overwhelms the entire store. They hardly have any self-checkouts, and none for larger loads.
