They should work on improving their crappy app first. It's slow and half the time the digital coupons don't work. I do like that several locations have free EV charging.

So it's just regular shopping at stop and shop then.

I really want to like stop and shop but if I could just go to the self checkout without getting screamed at every time I place something after scanning that would be great

Lol The self-checkout program is a bitch. It’s as if it’s just waiting for an opportunity to berate you. I still prefer it over letting somebody else bag my groceries though.

Lol 1 store inside the 495 belt. Hooray!

I've had lots of issues with their food going bad unlike some other places like Shaw's. Theirnproduce is atrocious

PUT THE ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA

Scan. Place the item in the bagging area. Pay. THEN BAG.

It’s a pain to delay people the extra 20 seconds after you’re finished with the transaction - except when you consider you’ll never trigger that error again & can still easily be faster than the person who started self checkout right before you if you try.

I can hear it’s smugness

I buy blueberries and blackberries from Stop & Shop all the time, and more often than not, I am able to spot a few moldy fruits buried at the bottom of the plastic container. This is why I always inspect the containers from all angles. If there is visual evidence of mold, then I will avoid all adjacent containers or that type of fruit altogether. In a way, their inconsistent quality has pushed me to explore new types of fruits I wouldn’t have otherwise tried.

One time, a bag of almonds (Stop & Shop brand) I bought had evidence of some type of bug infestation. The almonds had unusual holes (as if something bored into it). Cracking it open, I found fluffy, cobweb-like substances inside. Threw out the entire bag, and now I will only buy their almonds if they are stored in see-through containers, so I can do a careful inspection before purchasing.

I also stopped buying their store-brand chicken. Had to throw out an entire tray of chicken breast one time because it was rancid. For a poor student, discarding an entire tray of chicken breast is a huge blow to not only my wallet but also to my nutrition and overall morale that week.

Here’s the deal with self checkout @ SS

If you have a cart - this is not meant for you

Scan, then place all items on the unit BEFORE bagging - There’s a rhythm Scan then Place - Absolutely don’t bag before all items are in said unit.

It’s not that hard, they should give better [any] directions.

Welcome to the New Feudal Age, where your food quality and life is sacrificed for the wealthy’s yachts

And they’ll spin it as saving on food waste 😒 as they absolutely pillage and pollute the earth

Neo-feudalism is the term

thanks sounds more apt

This would have pissed me off enough to go back and return it.

Just get the scanner and scan as you go. Checkout literally takes one minute if you do this.

Yeah like their deliciously rinsed and repackaged shrimp rings I saw in Salem Ma yesterday *puke* I also like how they resell food that has sat out hot for who knows how long at the same price the next day.

$7.99 hot and fresh and $7.99 the next day cold in a box after sitting out for hours?

A little bird told me that Stop & Shop threatened to take their corporate offices out of the City of Quincy if they allowed a Market Basket to be built .

As an added bonus, the pool of potential grocery cashiers will be HUGE if they ever roll back self-checkout. \s

I'm a pro at looking up produce now.
