I haven't been to uncle Giuseppes in a few months. I wanted things like tuna wraps and sushi, among other thingies. I began by seeing the pizza making area, my eyes opened a bit more as I looked at their prices. $25 for margarita pizza? Yes bidenomics is working well to inflate prices, u r very right but these prices are, as Crazy Eddie's used to say, INSANE! There was a hot plate area there, u add items like meatballs and mashes potatoes. That was a mere $11.99 per pound. (When the cashier weighed my plate, I wondered if a police report should have been filed, robbery in progress perhaps 🤔). I included pictures of my haul and the receipt. Anyone with heart issues, please have your oxygen tank near when you see prices. Salads were all included $2 each. Did the rents go up for UG? Are the employees paid better than before? Or pure profit for same food. Im not a hater, i am keeping it real. The food, I just had half of the chicken parmigiana hero, and it was tasty. It all looks good but I see how people have to choose between feeding their kids and buying toilet paper. Btw, those are totally connected and didn't check the TP cost. Oh wait, this one was very outrageous and preposterous, as the late Jackie Childs from SEINFELD would say. There were small hot dog sized buns with lobster in it, call it Lobster Rolls. How much was real lobster? Call Maine Lobsters from Shark Tank to check. Ok so UG had a sale 2 for $30. Did they forget the math? They carried an extra 3 I think in their calculations. If it were 3 for that prices, uh ok. This, imo, they are not even trying to keep customers. In closing, the choice is clear--forego a semester at Yale university and frequent an Uncle Giuseppe's near you 🙂😇 I went back today, bought less, sushi and heros were main items. Then I went for scratch offs. Don't judge me lol. More pix added of receipt and...
Read moreToday i went to Uncle Giuseppe's in Smithtown to see if they had solid pink sprinkles. My niece is having identical twin baby girls and she loves my rice krispie treats. I always top them with sprinkles to make them even more fun to eat, but i have been having trouble finding the pink ones. I decided that if any store would have them, it would be Uncle Giuseppe's. I asked Maryann at the customer service counter if they carried pink sprinkles. Most of us would agree that the average store employee would tell us to check aisle 5 and we'd wander aimlessly up and down the aisle only to find out that the product is in aisle 10, but not Maryann. First, she congratulated me on my great nieces and the good news. Then she walked me to two separate sections of the store. Unfortunately, neither one had the pink sprinkles ( but the did have more different types than i have ever seen at any grocery store). She then suggested I try a craft store, which was a great idea. After I thanked her, Maryann decided to not give up. She went to the bakery, asked if they had pink sprinkles and when they did, she gave me a perfect size container, with a paid sticker on it and put it in a plastic bag so it wouldn't spill. Again she congratulated me. I thought about her all day and felt compelled to call her out in a review. Maryann was/is wonderful and I am hoping management will recognize her for going well above and beyond, being kind and caring and a fabulous employee. Also, while I was waiting for Maryann to package the sprinkes, I purchased the most amazing flavors of biscotti there: pistachio, Nutella, salted pistachio cranberry and almond chocolate chunk. My mother and her friends raved about them. Thank you, Maryann, for being so amazing and thank you Uncle Giuseppe's for...
Read moreI had shopped at Uncle G's for years. Although their prices are generally much higher than other markets near me I still liked specific departments and kept shopping there. The other day I went shopping. I was looking for a type of steak and didn't see it in the packaged cases and the butchers case. I waited for a butcher, (They were each cutting various meats and packaging). One came over and seemed not happy the be interrupted. I asked about the steak and he said it's right across over there. Pointing. I then asked if they have a slicer and clarified I was curious if they could slice a steak so I can make a dish. His response was sarcastic and it was no mistaking his desire for me to just leave him alone, "Well we'd have to do it by hand so...". I said ok and left to retrieve the steak I wanted. Then I decided to buy some pinwheels and skewered marinaded chicken. They didn't have packaged the number I wanted but did have them in the butchers case. I stood waiting and waiting, while this miserable employee would not even acknowledge I had returned. Several other meat dept employees passed me while bringing out product. No one acknowledged I was even there. I know he didn't want to cut the steak the way I wanted and I wasn't back for that. I wanted chicken skewers. I was there long enough to wait a long time, notice the QRC code on the counter to "Give feedback" and stood there completing the feedback to the store, plus snap a photo of this jerk. So Uncle G's emails me their standard form apologies. And now they've emailed me several times asking me to review them on Google. Well here it is Uncle G. You asked for it and I am obliging. I gave you a chance to respond to me personally and you wanted me to...
