Stop & Shop — Local services in Town of Oyster Bay

This place is the worst.

Start with produce...if you can get your cart through. The whole department is overcrowded yet they have hardly any produce. Cauliflower? Nope. Broccoli? Only if you want little chunks of it but don't count on buying a whole head. Organic apples wiped out. Bananas were greener than limes.

I'm gonna skip over all the regular aisles because they were all the same...jam packed with stupid displays so only one cart can get by at a time.

Go over to dairy...if you can get past the stupid shelves they put by the butcher. Then you have to battle the dairy carts and boxes to get to the cases. Why in the world is the dairy (yogurt and such) behind glass doors? When the employees is stocking one compartment and granny is debating which plain yogurt to buy in another, you are stuck waiting. It's like using the cash only lane at the Throgsneck Bridge.

Deli and bakery...again overcrowded. I think you get the point, I skip it cause I can't get around with the cart.

Now try to get to a cashier. There is no room between the registers and aisles. Its impossible to pass through and find an open cashier let alone move from aisle to aisle.

Overall...poorly organized, overcrowded, parking...

If your looking for descent prices and a quick grocery shop then, this place is fine. I give 5 stars on customer service. And when it's working, I love the bar code gun feature as it makes check out so much faster. I use to always have an issue with prices not matching up to what was advertised on shelves but they seem to have fixed this issue a couple years ago.

Okay, now for the negative: their produce SUCKS! And it's not just this Stop & Shop, any one I go to, same issue, their produce is sub-par at best, and the real issue is, it goes bad after just a few days. I have researched tips on increasing the life of fruits and veggies yet, no matter what, their produce goes bad quick. Their milk was the worst!!! In fact, I stopped buying it there, and would literally stop at 7/11 and buy milk, on my way home from Stop & Shop lol! Now, I did notice about a couple months ago, they started placing their milk in closed door refrigerators (before it was a door-less cooler). Maybe they got too many complaints. This could have solved the problem however I still buy milk elsewhere. Maybe I will give them one more try.

FYI, no it's not my refrigerator, when I buy fruits/veggies and milk from other grocery stores,...

It was very good I go a lot and they have very very very good food. I get usually store barand food. I often go and get some great good food to make a good quality dinner. I often enjoy getting good quality Non GMO, or NON GENITICLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS. I believe it is more healthy then GMOs. This supper market is close and convenient. I often go to get basic things like milk, bread, and cream cheese, and other food items. Around Christmas time they have a person with a bell. Standing out in the cold collecting money for charities. I personally don't know which carity it is for. All I care about is having the good money from great generous people giving their money to good causes. Stop and shops produce is always fresh and very very good and healthy. They have also a refrigerated meat section, a salad section, and a fish station where you can buy good fish. I think they have great pricing. Especially for their deli. I love deli foods. For example we get white fish salad which is always fresh and served with a smile. It is great food for great prices. The only complaint I have is that the pet section is very small and their is not a lot for our four legged friends. I love the store and I shop...
