Sloan Super Market — Local services in Town of Cheektowaga

Born & raised in Buffalo, now living in Atlanta, besides visiting with family, I have to come home at least once a year just to get my Buffalo food fix. I could have gone to several places to get my meats & cheeses but picked Sloan Market on Wednesday. I am sorry that I did! I usually don't take the time to write reviews but my experience seemed to be more than just the usual 1 star type. The several young girls behind the counter were not busy, in fact there were two available to supply my order. However, they were indifferent and unable to answer any of my questions about taste, quality, cooking, storing, shelf-life... AND, they were NOT AT ALL friendly or outgoing, rather they seemed a bit "put out", almost annoyed, that they had to think. I never saw a butcher. For all the things about my hometown that I love and take pride in, it's the locals, my native people that I count on to represent "716"! I did not feel at home in this market by any means! It was disheartening and disappointing and not one employee had a different attitude than the other. No energy or spark during this traditional & festive time in Buffalo, so bright & cheerful before Christmas. So, with a smile as I loaded up both baskets on my cart, I graciously asked if they might have a thick box that I could have to pack my 60+ pounds of fresh meats for my flight back to GA. The most senior gal said, "uh, yeah, we have boxes but we use them..." And, that was that. Walking over to the register to pay for my precious goods, I let a few people go ahead of my overfilled cart. I found a familiar loaf Al Kohen's seeded rye bread that would go wonderful with my new and yet unfamiliar taste of Camillo's smoked polish sausage. Can't resist some baked Christmas cookies from a local bakery in Alden...all set! With no words, no expression, no eye contact, the young cashier rang up and bagged my $211.00 order. Just another day. I paid and said, "thank you" and wished her a pleasant evening. Then at the door, that I held open for a family with 3 small children, I left thinking that I was happy! Happy to have had the time and money to get some of my favorite foods that I grew up with and still love to eat today. And, I felt sad and disappointed that Sloan Market was not a happy place, nor did they have it in their hearts to be helpful & outgoing. I don't think I will risk having that experience again when there are many other markets in Buffalo that carry the same products. Incidentally, I went to my mom's afterward to unpack my meats and to make the sausage. My new bottle of Miller's Horseradish, lid apparently not on tight, had leaked all over my cheeses so I had to toss that bottle, and the Camillo brand sausage (I bought 5 lbs.) was not as tasty as Wardy's, neither bursting with...

Me and my mom have been shopping here forever and just recently, they upped the price on their sweetheart special which is still a great deal but my aunt wasnt happy about it and said no thanks. There was a rude man on there who verbally attacked my aunt and my mom calling them fat for no reason and the owner goes and deletes my comments because i stuck up for my family and called this guy out. His comments shood have been deleted as well and since they werent, it goes to show you that this man was a family member of the owner! Allowing your family to bully your customers is uncalled for and is not professional ! We literally stopped shopping here because of this! I loved this place and always spent tons of money here too! Im glad to now give it one star! Im sure my review will be deleted because the owner doesnt...

They also discriminate, no social distancing in the store, employees wearing masks below their noses and above all else violate the mask order issued by the state, see below:
