I hadnt been there in 5yrs or so. Due to rising cost of groceries, I decided to go visit as I'm hearing of such great bargains @ Food Outlet in Trenton. Went on Monday. I ask a butcher for the next size up for ground chuck & he tells me that's the biggest they sale but come back Wed bc they are havin a big sale & they were going to have a larger size. So I then go on down to grab a Boston butt & ask to have it sliced. Well it was too late. They were washing their equipment & done for the day. I was OK w/that & decided I'd wait til Wed.

I've heard talk about phones actually listening to conversations, keying certain words, then an ad pops up on your social media feed selling exactly what you were talking about. I'm done, too much invasive BS in our world today. I don't need a cell phone, and will be throwing this cheap Wal-Mart Samsung in the trash after I press post. I encourage the world to do the same, it's only going to get...

The produce is either hit or miss, most of the time miss bc so many fruits and veggies will be rotting and still sitting out to affect the others.

Sometimes other meats are turning color from sitting directly under the lights. Most of the staff is friendly and professional, except for 2 in particular that are rude, unfriendly, and dismissive. Let's hope their attitudes don't rub off on the rest of the employees since these 2 are some that...
