Save A Lot — Local services in Town of Tupper Lake

You're on vacation and your only responsibility is to feed 3 families. On your way back to the house, you see a Save A Lot. "Great!" you say to yourself, as it was getting late and you needed to get ingredients for dinner. As the doors open, you're greeted by an assortment of cardboard boxes, empty and, presumably, left out for decoration. Ok, produce is first. Let's make a salad, that will be quick! But wait, lettuce must not be grown here, as they don't appear to keep any in stock... That's fine. There's other food... You say to yourself as you turn toward the pickled sausage. At this point, you realize that perhaps this store would lend itself well to a simple BBQ, so you shift gears and turn the corner. You're in the meat section. Oh. My. Gosh. Hot dog heaven. They have 6 packs and 12 packs. They even have industrial 50 packs. Pork, beef, unspecified... They truly have it all. Unfortunately, you had promised the others a good meal, so you push past the dogs, on to more sophisticated options. You do a quick and fruitless scan for anything organic, then you grab one of the 3 brands of cheddar brats and pat yourself on the back. You did your best. Well, brats need rolls. You make your way past the aisle of wunderbread and... Wait. There is nothing beyond the wunderbread. So many hot dogs, but no rolls? Could it be a local thing? As you ponder this, you suddenly realize that you forgot about the vegetarians in your group. At least you remembered before you left the store. Let's grab some plant-based meat... A Beyond Burger or Quorn product or something... Chuckles yeah, no. Maybe some hummus? Dang... But you did find two new flavors of Sunny D (they still make Sunny D?). And so your story continues. Your grocery list, like your dreams of cooking a meal that isn't sponsored by Hormel or Tyson, lays crumpled and neglected on your car floor. The employees were...

I would give you an absolute zero for what happened to me Tuesday April fool's Day. I got all my stuff out of my cart and put up on the line and the young man started checking it in. I put my cart around with my bag in there in hopes that he would put the food in my bag. I'm a 66-year-old semi disabled vet, my legs don't work well and I have a hard time using my left arm properly. I told him I was partially disabled and could he please put the food in my bag. As I watched him I noticed he kept loading up the cart instead of moving his hand over 6 in and dropping it in my bag. He turns to me and says we don't get paid to bag groceries! I don't know if I've ever been more...

The last few times I've shopped here and bought produce, I got it home to find it already molded or rotten. I was there today and bought 2 containers of raspberries snd a salad mix...got home and opened the salad to see it wilted and gooey, not to mention the smell was horrific. The raspberries were literally all molded and mush. I live 45 minutes away so I don't have the luxury of driving back to the store to return it. If you're going to sell produce, you need much better quality control. Almost 20 dollars in just those 3 items completely wasted. In this economy where basic food items are this expensive, it's irresponsible for a grocery store to be selling...
