Coborn's Grocery Store — Local services in Pipestone

Just got out of there and wow. This is why I go to Sioux Falls or Brookings for groceries. I walk in on the gas side and grab maybe 4 things from the grocery side. As I’m walking past the counters, I see several employees in the aisles and NO CHECK OUT CHECK OUTS OR GUEST SERVICES OPEN.They’re all blocked off. Everyone was avoiding eye contact with me. So I go to check out at the gas side because I just saw Lisa, short, blonde curly hair, glasses, on that side so I figured she could check me out. She was meandering around the coffee machine when she finally noticed I needed to check out. She acted like I was an inconvenience, smushed my bread because she threw it in the bag and just acted like I was going out of my way to be a pain. I didn’t even say anything to make her act like that. I have had numerous interactions with her like this as well. To top it off, she YELLED at me in a very annoyed tone to have a nice day and rolled her eyes as I turned around(yep I saw that). Y’all need to figure out your staff because this...

Looking around no Hispanic s working there and male manager speaks down to employees helping bagging been lame for long line of customers we waited 8 minn for some one to come work the register and manager no mask so so places of business that does not whish to shut down need to revise...

The place isn't bad. I've heard to stay away from the fruit, which turned out to be true. But the big con for me is, every time they get something good and is popular, they immediately get rid of it for some reason. Few things that come to mind is a couple types of sodas, all steak marinades (the marinades they do have isn't meant for steaks,) things for a grill from the meat section, etc. But if you don't like marinades, theres literally an entire wall of bbq sauces instead for some reason, so you'llbe fine. It makes no sense. But anyways, some things you'll wana get here and others you'll want to get at Hanks, which, that's how it always has...
