Fareway Meat and Grocery — Local services in Iowa City

I came to Iowa to visit my boyfriend's dad and the first store I come to, Fareway Grocery, happens to be completely racist. The second we walk up to the register, some boy comes running up to the register as if the lady cashing us out had a panic button. We ended up having a total of 5 bags but the man insisted on helping us out to our car. Us, being in our 20's said it was no trouble and we could do it ourselves but then he argued that it was "store policy" and that "he needed to bring the cart back in".

I would like to see more vegetarian food (e.g. tempeh), as well as additional gluten free and dairy free options that are priced competitively with more frequent sales on these products. They do have...

Every time I go there I was treated not with respect but always being watched and being discriminated against, because of my husbands race compared to other customers. People like Jacob in the meat department not wanting to debone a couple of chicken thighs for me. Couldn't tell me when the monk fish came in and was rude and no interest in helping my husband and I. I will not be shopping here again. I am tired of being treated disrespectfully every time. I don't steal. You can call your store christian ran but if you still be ugly inside. I go where I am treated fairly and with respect because that is how you all stay employed is if customers...
