Schneider's Market — Local services in Town of Kirkwood

I have lived in this town my entire life and have saw this store go through many changes and trials and tribulations. One thing remains constant about it. They have a wonderfully rude middle age woman who is usually in front of house who would rather blab her trap to her coworkers than help customers. Do not ask her to exchange a product that you're dissatisfied with or she'll treat you like dirt. Their prices are double what the other grocery stores are for the same or better products. Prices are stupid inflated, which gives off the impression they are a gas station or are just blatantly screwing their brainwashed customers who shop there for no good reason. I am fortunate enough to be able to afford a very comfortable life and id rather drive 20 miles to a different store just for the principle of it, why would I allow myself to be screwed over by paying way way too much for a small selection of food when a short mile or two I could have 10x the choices and far better pricing. Not to mention, not having to see that mouthy, and rude woman whom is a hiddious representative of that business when it's time to check out is reason enough to never step foot in there again. Their deli has comparable meats. However when I have the luxury of an hour lunch but it takes the lazy, and poorly trained ladies take 25 min to make a sandwich due to the fact of they'd rather stand there and blab there mouths to their coworkers instead of doing their jobs makes the misery of this store come full circle. This town has been brainwashed for some reason to shop there and the owners have taken full advantage of this by raping the customers with severely inflated prices and sub par service for years. It needs to stop. And fire that imbecile woman with the attitude problem. Not sure nor couldn't care less of her name but it's not Sue nor any other of the cashiers. She's older than the rest, heavyset, shoulder length hair and is miserable, that description alone should make identifying her fairly easy. What a true disappointment for the town...

I love this store. Friendly people and a great selection of products, and all the customers that I've seen wear masks, as per store policy. This is important to me because my husband is at very high risk for death from COVID, and I normally feel very safe here. However, at my most recent visit, I noticed that the staff stocking the shelves were not following the store's own mask policy. They had their masks off and around their necks, and wore them only when a customer could see them. (Well, the women at least would put them on - the two male stockers I saw didn't put on their masks even when I started to walk down their aisles.) I understand that it's warm, stocking is physical work, and the store didn't have A/C on. But masks are still important, even thin ones. In a small enclosed space, virus particles can spread quickly, and any face covering over nose and mouth helps. I normally feel very safe at Schneider's but today I felt unsafe and purchased less than I normally would have because I just wanted to leave. Again - I love this store. I hope that the owners reiterate store policy with the stocking staff, or maybe switch to off-hours stocking for most of their products. I will visit one more time - but if I see employees mask-less again, I will sadly have to leave and start using the more expensive pick-up options at the big box stores until this is all over. I am more than happy to change my review to 5 stars if this one...

Schneider’s Market: A Gem Near a Tesla Supercharger

Rating: 5/5 stars

Schneider’s Market, just outside Binghamton, is a fantastic find, especially with a Tesla Supercharger on-site. It’s rare to have a proper grocery store next to a charging station, and this place delivers! I stopped by during lunchtime on a road trip, and the Supercharger’s proximity to the market made it incredibly convenient.

The staff is warm and welcoming, creating a homey vibe reminiscent of the family-owned stores I love back home. The store is well-stocked, and the surrounding area feels inviting, with a park across the street perfect for a quick stretch. Schneider’s is a delightful pitstop for Tesla drivers or anyone passing through....
