Stop & Shop — Local services in Town of Islip

Last week, after a long hard day at work I discovered that my wallet was missing, either lost or stolen & never to be recovered. Luckily, I had some cash on hand and decided to do some food shopping at this store. When I placed my very large food order on the counter I was told by the clerk that I needed to provide a driver's license to purchase the beer included in my order. I chuckled and pointed to my naturally white hair and aged face, thinking she was joking. (for the record, I am a 66 year old white haired decorated US military veteran who looks exactly as just described. There is absolutely nothing about my appearance that would even remotely indicate that I am not over the age of 21). Well, she wasn't kidding and repeated her request for me to provide ID for the beer. Astonished that she could not accurately discern that I was of sufficient age, I asked for her supervisor. When he arrived at the counter he repeated her request for ID and told me it was "company policy." I informed him that I had no identification on me and that I thought it was ridiculous to think that the store would in any way possible be violating NY State law by allowing me to purchase beer without proof of age. He refused to make any exception. This "company policy" to require identification for each and every purchase of beer without regard to the obvious is often instituted as a result of a store having been cited for past violations, meaning that in the past, some clerk allowed a minor to purchase a restricted product. So upper management decides that rather than provide sufficient training for their employees, it would be less costly to pass the burden of their errors onto the public by taking the human input (as to the obvious) away from the employee and requiring senior citizens such as myself to either comply or shop elsewhere.

I’ve been shopping here for years. The fruit and vegetable maintenance has increasingly gotten worse since Covid. The meat freshness has also suffered. The quality is very unreliable.

The prices are reasonable. It is clean, wide aisles, and close to home. It’s my usual go-to for gluten free stuff.

I gave it three stars because I ordered Peapod and somebody packed my order wrong and raw chicken juice spilled all inside of my new car with cloth seats. They didn’t bag it properly.

One of the supervisors was very apologetic and took off $25 from my order and refunded the chicken. He offered to send me a gift card WHICH I HAVEN’T RECEIVED to refund me the time and energy it took to vacuum extract my back seats. IT NOW SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING DIED IN MY CAR AND I FEAR IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.

Beware ordering Peapod pickup and make sure you put your order on...
