Food Depot — Local services in Forest Park

Now I am a fan of low prices and food Depot is truly one of the best places to get those low prices anywhere in town from what I personally have experienced. As I go through the store of course you seems like it's just your regular old grocery store that you know has a little kicker of plus 10% at the register but they're selling these products to you at cost. Now if you didn't know what that cost means that's basically they're selling it at the price they buy it at which is very generous considering the level of inflation our country has been experiencing over the past year or so. Yes everything is clean neat and organized and they do have plenty of help to help you whenever you're checking out or to help you find what you need to buy. But what I was so impressed by is really the fact that they have similar variety as any of the national chains but like I said the prices are just outstanding so I wouldn't mind paying extra 10% at the register because it really ain't like your paying a lot more. and if you compare this to a convenience store these prices are phenomenal because some of the items I bought I commonly buy when I go to the gas station or convenience store to get my gas or snacks. So if you're ever in the area of Forest Park on Morrow road you definitely need to stop in the food Depot especially if you want to save money on your food and other shopping essentials. And this isn't no upscale shanty that's trying to just trick you into coming in and then trying to upsell you to all this expensive stuff if you want the quality stuff is there too but you have the choice and the price is very right at Food Depot and I would like to give a shout out to the management and staff of this location and of course the owner of food Depot who decided to bring this concept of grocery discounts to being. 💯💪🏾☮️❤️🙏🏾

Upon visiting the store again it's pretty...

I saw two little girls in a cart sitting outside so I brought it to the manager's attention. A Caucasian customer told me I should mind my own business because the mother was inside shopping. The cashier high five him saying their not bothering anyone. I said that wasn't the problem but that it was cold outside and where they're standing no one could keep an eye on them. I suggest to the manager that they be brought in. She shrug me off. So I stood outside until mom came out. Any facility that doesn't see the problem with people leaving their small children in the cold outside for anyone to take don't deserve to be open. Any person that doesn't even care to bring them in to watch to ensure their safety doesn't deserve to be in management or a cashier. They both should be shame...

I've shopped at other food depots in the past, but this was my first and very last at this location. I stopped to purchase about $100.00 worth of Gator Aid for my staff and asked an employee if there any more in the back since they had a limited supply on the shelves. " I don't know" said one employee as she walked away. So I went to the "customer service" counter and that employee was even more obnoxious. Needless to say; I left without my Gator Aid. The store was also not very clean which I guess is on par with the level of service. 1 star is too much but that's the lowest available. Don't patronize this store if at all possible. That's the only way to get management to change thier level of expectations for the employees...
