John's Farm Market — Local services in New York

John's Farm Market is located on the footprint of a closed Walgreens, that stood on the footprint of an old supermarket, "Little Giant", from the 1980's. It is conveniently placed especially for those of us the live closer to Murdock Avenue, further away from the MET Foods adjacent the Rock. However, this ease of access is/has been upset by one too many times of having to return goods to the establishment. I have purchased milk that previously had to be returned because it was sold way past expiration, cheese and even Florida Natural OJ. This is upsetting and a bit disrespectful. They are well staffed so food rotation and elimination is what protects the consumer in an establishment that sales food to the public. I would not give it a one star rating because all the employees that work there are very polite. I've never had an issue with a return but this cannot become systemic. I regularly travel outside of my neighborhood to shop at Wholefoods, (believe it or not for better prices and QUALITY), taking my dollars into another community, if I had it my way I'd rather not do that. John's Farm Market should step it up just a bit for their buying public or that public will begin to make an exodus. Respect the community you set up shop in, provide fair prices and quality of goods. No one should ever return food so regularly due to it beginning to decompose. And for any reader that thinks maybe I should have inspected it better before I took it to the counter, my responses are 1. I shouldn't have to 2. There were more than one container of past due milk, bags of past sell date cheese and a row of juices past sell date. 3. Also after a long day at work rushing in and out of the grocery store shouldn't be so stressful. This...

Today at 07-11-2025 3:30 ish I was in this supermarket and there was some misunderstanding between a customer and the manger is the Korean tall guy who was there about a box of mango and the sign say 9ps and in the box there was 8 ps. So this lady was asking them why the sign say 9ps and then they began to argue really loud. As a manager he was supposed to make customers feel happy but this guy was arguing back with the lady and that very bad customer service, another thing too this guy had always have been like this arguing with customers like he have no sense how to handle his duty. And make the lady say that she will called ICE to go to this store now I feel very bad if she dose that because a lot of people there need a job but again this guy should know better.and speaking about employees a lot time I go there and see the way he talks to his employees very Rude. I work for the HR department and if there’s any complaints from that store that I have to know about I’m personally taking this case up, because I have seen the way he speak to people. I talk to some of the cashier there but they look scared to do anything about it. And I hope that the owner of this store can do something about this situation as well because I personally love this store. but if there’s a bad management I...
