Food Bazaar Hempstead — Local services in Town of Hempstead

This store is ABSOLUTELY horrible. We live in Hempstead not Hispanicstead. This community is culturally diverse until you get into food bazaar. So I went and ordered a cake, I wrote what I wanted on the cake. Ha! What a joke. I went straight to the manager. The lady with the glasses. I tried to get her attention for 15 minute while she just chatted with a co worker as if I wasn't standing there. All she said was awww so sorry. Wow really? Stop and shop would NEVER. Now for the rest of the store. Again they have a lot of international products and they have rows, rows and isles full of Spanish products. I asked for bread and nobody could tell me where it was. The prices are ridiculously high I guess to cover the cost of all the security they have walking around in an empty store. There's more lights on the outside than the inside. If they weren't finished with repairs they shouldn't have opened. The paint fumes are overwhelming and the particles from the open ceiling by the deli section is concerning for me. Big plastic tarps over the gaping ceiling holes where I'm supposed to have my cheese cut? Lastly if the fish department is in the back of the store. Why does the entire store smell bad? No need to come on with a generic reply about management because we all know all yall care about is a dollar. If you cared about the customers things in these comments would've been rectified and they haven't been so I don't need a general reply. I need the situations in the comments rectified for future...

Although the produce and meat section are better than what Stop and Shop offered, and you can get some international specialty items here, the prices are ridiculously high in this store. C-Town used to be the higher priced in the area. Now it's this store. The rewards program here is a joke. There is no more lotto station or self check-out option. The security guards who stalk people as they shop aren't a good look, and the cashiers aren't the friendliest. Unless I'm really in a pinch, I drive to the Stop & Shop in West Hempstead or Westbury or go to C-Town off Franklin instead.

Their prices are going to push people to the nearby Aldi's and other grocery stores if they don't make much needed...

The PROBLEM with this store is no one speaks English/American English. How can a store with THIS location not be able to direct an English-speaking consumer to sun-dried tomatoes? WTH? You may cater to multiple ethnicities with your food selections but not with your personnel. You hit the far right of the mark for not providing English-speaking personnel. Get it together, or get ready to close your doors. I am a 45-year resident who has witnessed multiple changes in our community. Haitian, Columbian, Guatemalan, Korean, Greek, and Italian, but always English-speaking. I will continue to shop in Westbury, where I can communicate my needs to an audience and management that understands me. I...
