Co-op Food Stores — Local services in Hartford

I'm a student at CCV, and my film class was doing a final project. I asked the location if I could film there and would only be there for a few hours. They told me they would "send it up the flagpole" and get back to me. They never got back to me until the day of, where I was told to leave. The person on that day then came back out and told me there was a mistake and that I COULD film there afterall and there had been a communication error. We then proceeded to film. The next morning I get an email from the manager saying I am disrespectful and that I wasn't supposed to film! They obviously lack communication skills for doing any sort of business and it's embarrassing to be told one thing and then another when all I'm trying to do is graduate. This is an unfair business that is run by a big corporation and not the members of the community like they have tried to portray. I wont be shopping here anymore or doing any sort of business with them and I suggest anyone else looking to do so be...

I think this a good option for picking up a thing or two, prices are high so not a place I would fully grocery shop. The deli staff has more angry and rude employees than nice ones, I have been a local for my whole life and if this wasn’t convenient to my house I would never get deli goods here. If you ask for shaved meat they roll their eyes because it takes longer. If you ask for a pound of shaved meat they often ask if “that’s enough” before they reach a pound because hey are visibly annoyed to shave the meat. Their are more than one deli attendants that act like this, to the point that I will just avoid the deli if they are working and come back the next day to buy my WEEKLY supply or go elsewhere in the meantime. The Lebanon co op is by far the best deli but not nearly as convenient.

Otherwise I don’t have much to complain about, the front end is wonderful, the grocery dept are friendly and helpful and the meat counter is...

I have been to this store a few times before for their seafood, which was great in the past. However, I went last weekend to get some caviar. My girlfriend and I, both college students, like to share a little jar of lump caviar on special occasions. The seafood guy (the tall one with longer hair and loud voice) berated us about our choice. He said "That's not really for human consumption" and "Why don't you go down to the bait store and get some there". He laughed at us repeatedly and this harassment continued for a good ten minutes before he would show us where he keeps the jars of Romanoff Lump Caviar. Long story short: He ruined what was supposed to be a special night because we can't afford to pay $100 per ounce for the "good stuff". Thanks for making us feel like caviar...
