Harps Food Stores — Local services in Oologah

The meat packing area is a cesspool of contagion. All the chicken marked 'generic' was drowning in red liquid, every single raw chicken package was oozing it out the seams of their shoddy wrapping. Meanwhile "management" tries to pass the buck off to some vague 'other place'. Y'all saw the product, inspected it, put it on your shelves and thought, "looks good", when it was obviously not okay. That's on you, not on the place that packed it. Rewrap it; if they didn't do their job, that's no excuse for you not doing yours. And why isn't the sodium content listed on the top of the package??? If you (or 'some other place') are injecting your raw meat with sodium, we need to know about it. Labeling something "generic" doesn't let you off the hook for not including ingredients and nutrition information.

Most employees are some variation of unfriendly, cold, shady, or rude. It's rare to get a greeting at any point during a shipping trip, which would almost be humorous because most of them stand around in a stupor until a customer approaches their lane. They must not train their employees how to stay busy by restocking the magazines, candy, etc or by refacing nearby shelves and end caps. (No wonder everything is overpriced here when their employees are lazing about while punched in.) They also don't train their employees how to bag, the first thing most chain grocery stores teach cashiers. They rarely, if ever, spray down and clean their conveyer belts in the checkout stands.

Believe it or not, the front end is actually the 'best of' the store in terms of cleanliness and employee personability.

But hey, we're no longer in a food desert, so yay.

I stop in here sometimes traveling between my home and Nowata and trips to Collinsville on Sundays for work. I really like the amount of variety that is in this store, which is not typical for most stores of this size. This is not a large grocery store, but they do a very good job I'm having a lot of really great items available plus so many unexpected extras like the well-stocked cold beverage section right at the front of the store. And today we bought three meals from the hot deli to take home. A nice gentleman named Aaron helped us with that today and I really appreciated his great customer service! And I also noticed that as a wine was forming at the register quickly to other people jumped up to registers and started directing customers to come to them instead of waiting in a long line. I thought that was very insightful of them to be paying attention so that they can get people checked out and on their way, and if somebody who would like to get home on Sunday and relax I definitely...

From the Halls of Montezuma To the Shores of Tripoli; We fight our country's battles In the air, on land and sea; First to fight for right and freedom And to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine.

Our flag's unfurled to every breeze From dawn to setting sun; We have fought in ev'ry clime and place Where we could take a gun; In the snow of far-off Northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes; You will find us always on the job-- The United States Marines. Here's health to you and to our Corps Which we are proud to serve In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve; If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven's scenes; They will find the streets are guarded By United...
