Lincoln Market — Local services in New York

What’s great: having a grocery store in the neighborhood that stays open later.

What’s not great: being made to feel like you’re bothering the staff when you shop close to closing time.

To be clear, I fully checked out & exited the store before closing, but still was being stared at by the staff (who also started closing off sections of the store that I was actively shopping in. I confirmed the closing time, but they proceeded to close off sections early so I couldn’t shop from them).

They also locked up the front door early & didn’t let another customer in the store when it still should’ve been open according to the posted times on both your google listing and receipt (10pm). It was very close to 10, yes, and I get that employees were eager to close up & get home, but I really believe stores should stay open until their posted time.

As a disabled person with mobility issues, I will not be going out of my way to this location very often now that I know they might just close early and not let me in if they feel like it.

The produce was mostly fresh & the store is pretty & clean, but with the generally unfriendly vibe from the staff, high prices, and smaller selection than other Lincoln Market locations…I’ll continue to support other local businesses instead when I’m able to!

Really bummed! I was so looking forward to this location opening & was anticipating becoming a regular patron, but this was such a disappointing & unfriendly...

Decided to go back to the bougie lincoln groceries to quickly pick up lime and vinegar from the store so i can make dinner. I knew i might come out with more than what i needed so i went to the atm to take out some money. I ended up getting 4 things instead of 2 and gave the available cashier my money. AND then the manager that was there who was looking at me strangely because i had my hoodie on in 30° weather snatched the bill from the lady rudely and decided to run it through the machine instead of letting her use a check pen which is more reliable than a machine especially for new bills. Of course it didnt go through with one scan (i once worked as a cashier as a teen especially when the new 100s came out its hard for old devices to scan), and refused checking it with a pen or scracting the president's jacket for authenticity he gave me a nasty look and demanded different payment. I dont mind i have other payment but i do need change for the subway for work tomorrow so it made me feel unwelcomed and targeted. I guess that store is only for "certain people" and i wont be spending anymore money there. P.s. I went to the ctown on Nostrand to pick up something else for my stew and the cashier took my bill and checked it without a problem....

I was very pleased when the store opened. They have a lot of bougie products that I can’t find at other stores in the area. In general, the prices aren’t bad compared to other stores, though they have been slowly rising. They have decent produce. But as others have complained, a lot of it is unlabeled so you don’t know the price until you ask or check out.

Frustratingly it seems that lately they’ve had a hard time keeping things consistently stocked. There was a period of time where it was basically impossible to get chicken thighs, which is bizarre. The salad selection seems to change all the time. And worse, on multiple occasions I have had meat that was off despite being well before the expiration dates. I don’t know why, but it seems like they’re not packing some of the chicken properly or not keeping it at the right temperature. I’ve started going elsewhere for meat because I don’t know if they will have what I’m looking for or if it will be fresh.

I will still go to the store for products that I can’t find elsewhere, but I’m disappointed that it’s seemingly declining.

Also, make sure to check the prices as they ring up. I’ve noticed them being wrong (surprise surprise, always higher than labeled) on...
