Madison Food Mart — Local services in Madison

I am a regular here due to having a late night sweet tooth with my partner. Today after three years of support for the small immigrant owned and operated market- I kindly tell him I think his bread which is “best” by a month ago and that these shouldn’t be sold. He literally said I was wrong and do I want them or not lmao. Then proceeds to shove his food safety certificate in my face like the food inspector card not on that thing… Not gonna lie I started barking back at him after he a grown man double my age swore at me. Men like him who lie and gas light his own regular customers should not be held unaccountable at least as a business. Slimy stuff man do better. I literally was just trying to help him not get caught up with selling hella expired food. I know the world is so uncertain right now, but sorry I check my expiration dates before I buy my food I guess.

Good luck to...

Calling the store run down and ragged would be putting it nicely. It has clearly seen better days. As another reviewer mentioned, there is a ~200% markup on everything in the store ranging from canned vegetables, desserts, and sodas.

It has a few of the same things a gas station convenience store would have (the chip selection could be better), at least has convenient hours in that it's open till 11, and a small selection of vegetables. They also sell beer, but there's a liqueur store about 8 feet away that'll do that for cheaper and better selection.

If there's somewhere else that you can go, I'd recommend doing so. If you're nearby, though, maybe the convenience might be worth the...

This place sold my friend defective zyns (all the pouches broken) so many times that he (friend) started checking the containers at the counter after purchase. The cashier would give him a replacement but then put the opened, defective container back on the shelf to sell to someone else. This happened enough times that the owner confronted him with a baseball bat and accused him of "bullying" the cashier. True story ¯(ツ)/¯

They also consistently sell expired food and charge $7.99 for a 12-pack of Klarbrunn, which was the final straw for me and why I'm writing this review. Scams all the way...
