Food Universe Marketplace — Local services in New York

This place is still running SIMPLY because its convenient. The store smells awful and they treat you like they're doing you a favor by shopping there!! Little kittens running around a bodega in nyc is common but the entire cast of CATS running around a SUPERMARKET is gross. I cant get over the smell, what is in a SUPERMARKET THATS SMELLS SO BADLY. They dont care to clean or treat consumers like HUMANS. People who open businesses in OUR NEIGHBORHOODS should not be so rude to us, we keep you in business. If people had another alternative I guarantee you, they will go out of business. I will never NEVER spend a penny in this disgusting hell hole. As cute as the kids are they shouldn't be working/helping out in the store if it disrupts business. I cant wait till our people learn the value of OUR MONEY AND STOP LETTING PEOPLE TREAT US UNFAIRLY. IF THIS STORE WAS IN THE SUBURBS IT WOULD ALREADY BE OUT OF BUSINESS!!!...

When it was her turn at the register, the dude turned around and gave her his back for at least 45 seconds! I heard her say, well damn! I'm standing right here! SMH! Gave her no...

Maybe there are other people who may have...
