MyTown Marketplace — Local services in Town of Rosendale

A bit of background- I have over a decade of various grocery store experience.

I was recently shopping at My Town Marketplace in Rosendale, NY located in the old Fann's plaza. I was near the deli section shopping when I observed a stern middle aged man with dark thinning hair berating a middle aged female deli employee with brown hair in a most unprofessional manner. Apparently she had gotten a minor detail of a sandwich she had made wrong, which I know from personal experience to be an easy error to correct. It seemed that this man yelling viciously at her was just yelling for the sake of yelling. The whole situation was appalling and made myself, and it would appear the other customers present very uncomfortable. After this episode ended I tried to get some context for what I had just observed. It turns out that the man yelling is the stores owner, a man named Albert (try as I might I couldn't get a last name). The woman he was screaming at (on the SALES FLOOR I can't stress that enough) was the deli manager. So the store owner, Albert Something, berated this poor woman publicly on the sales floor of his own store for a really minor mistake that she was apparently in the middle of fixing before he even opened his mouth. I'm glad to report that this woman walked out after this horrendous display lacking in all professionalism from Albert the stores owner. I'm glad to report that an acquaintance of mine has seen this woman working again so at least she didn't get fired. However the sight of the stores owner tearing into one of his department managers ON THE SALES FLOOR to the point where this poor woman walked out was all I needed to decide to never return to this store as long as it is under it's same management. I've seen good grocery store managers, and bad grocery store managers, but nothing like this. I genuinely feel pity for the poor souls that work for this total jerk.

And remember that this disgraceful display was all over a minor and easily corrected error in the making of a single sandwich. I strongly encourage anyone who cares about the employees at My Town Marketplace in Rosendale, NY to avoid the place like the plague if they can. I have already switched to a different grocery store and even though it's annoying to commute to go food shopping it's worth it to not support the jerk who owns My Town and his...

Lots of upgrades, frequent sales that provide great value. Some of the weekly advertised sale items are only available at the Stone Ridge location. Always get and check your receipt as there are frequent check out errors that over charge or miss sale pricing.

April 2024. Quick stop for emergency cat litter. 🙀💩 Store continuesly upgrades to include more vegan, organic and higher end groceries. Noticed today when I got home that the on sale green onions (scallions) had the roots cut off. This practice decreases the shelf life and they will spoil much faster. It is definitely worth while to check their weekly ad for sale pricing. I save an average of @ $32.00 each trip. As a veteran I get a 5% discount on Tuesdays. The best deal is family Thursday where you can get 10% off on larger orders. I would point out that Adam's in Kingston provides a 10% discount every day for veterans and their produce is both a higher quality and more diverse. Latest trip I scored Kraft shredded triple cheddar and mozzarella for half price and Birds Eye steam in package for a dollar apiece.

Latest trip, Kayam double smoked bacon two packages for $8.99. This is some of the tastiest...

I just went to the deli. I had to ask the girl cutting my cold cuts to change her gloves. She got nasty and said I just changed these. I told her she was just handling some other order and I didn’t know what else she touched. Also it’s the law after each order you change your gloves to prevent cross contamination. Then she got an attitude when I ordered roast beef, she said to the other girl behind the counter, we need to stop selling roast beef, it’s disgusting. Then she put down plastic and when she was done slicing my roast beef she threw the rest down on the counter. There’s always some issue at the Rosendale Location. They don’t want to follow health protocols, and they always have an excuse that they can’t slice my cheese the way I want it. Stone Ridge never has an issue. I stopped using the Rosendale location, and I’m sorry I came back. I can only hope that stone ridge doesn’t turn out like Rosendale. I’ll be stopping at shop rite or do without before I come back to my town market in...
