ShopRite of Hauppauge

Garbage management, especially the tall, reddish haired, old hag! I can’t stand her. I’m patiently waiting for the Ronkonoma ShopRite to open. I’m praying that it’s not the same owners from this dump who opened it!!! Oh yeah, the shopping cart guy takes his job way too seriously. With that said, he’s probably the smartest guy working there. Collect carts, avoid the morons inside, and act busy. LOL…

Always a wait! Big turnover! Still no self service checkout which would solve a lot of problems! Enough said!!!

For someone who lives in the city, this supermarket is awesome. I know it may seem just ordinary to most people but after visiting two grocery stores near my apartment in midtown and not finding what I needed, it was so amazing to come here and get everything on my list!
I had to bake some stuff for a contest and needed a particular Betty Crocker cake mix and some specific frosting. They had plenty of options. The shelves were well stocked so I also picked up some other items and the prices were 30% less than what I’d pay in the city. I was really in awe!
Then I went to the express checkout and only had five items in my hands and the guy in front of me, who only had about 12 items, said I could go in front of him. How nice is that?
I am a fan.

I mean… its a regular supermarket.
I go here often and it is good enough for regular groceries and catching sales. I get some items here that I wouldnt at a Fairway Market or Whole Foods.
Not gross at all… but nothing special or nice about it either. Just A-​OK

WORST customer service I ever experienced in my life. Such abnormally rude cashiers, it disgusted me. First and last time ever coming into a shoprite. Terrible terrible employees. Never returning here again.

Stopped back here to pick up a few items that were on sale while I was in town. .OMG what happened?? This place has turned into a hell hole with rude staff and management that couldn’t give a shit. I went to the customer service desk to ask for a raincheck, after I looked extensively in the aisle plus around the store. They call stock and say it’s in the aisle and we won’t give a RC if it’s in stock. I say it’s not there if you look you will find it. Ok I go back and look again maybe I overlooked it.
NOT There, go back again and explain it’s not there and of course they insist it is. Now all the while the store owners the Janson Jerks are standing not 10 feet away and don’t say a word they just look and couldn’t care less. Finally the girl gives me a rain check with a major attitude.
Now I’m a Shoprite fan but this store is a joke and embarrassment to the Shoprite name. If this occurred in Publix, the manager would’ve came over and tried his best to help me out and offer to bring out to car.
Janson brother’s are a bunch of assholes who should have their store franchise revoked by Shoprite. I wish I could give this store a –10.

I am not a big fan of shoprite. There is nothing wrong with the prices or the people that work there, but I really do not like the layout or the store. It does not make for a pleasurable shopping experience.

Did you ever walk into a unfamiliar supermarket and feel you stepped into the Borg hive? I look at the shoppers from Hauppauge like the Borg, resistance is futile.
This was the first ShopRite I’ve been to since they opened in the Selden location. What I like about this store is, Panera is next door. I’ll grab a Panera coffee and shop the heck outta this supermarket.
During the holiday season (which is soon), be on the lookout for Turkey and Roasting Meat sales. For Christmas, we’ll purchase a huge Prime Rib roast and segment it up. A few weeks after Christmas, we’ll make a 3 rib prime rib roast. Mmmm mm!
I’ll stop at this location when I’m coming home from during the week. Otherwise its the Selden location.

I used to be a frequent shopper at this ShopRite. It was very convenient for me. I will never shop here again. They accused me of stealing after I stood on line to pay for my groceries. Does this make any sense? Security took me to the security office right after I paid for my purchases. I had a receipt to account for all the items in my cart. Not sure where they got off with the accusation but they looked like complete idiots when everything in my cart was on my receipt and paid for. I even granted them permission to look in my pocketbook. They found nothing. I then went to customer service and returned all items. I will take my business to Waldbaums and Stop N Shop. I am no thief and will not let anyone treat me this way.

Shoprite now has a dietician on staff, Nicole. I had an opportunity to do a hands-​on sushi class last night. She was very informative and answered questions without hesitation. She explained health benefits, healthy alternatives, and food substitute for those that had allergies. The produce used was from Shoprite organic section. Nicole gave each person one-​on-​one attention which I liked. Not only did we make sushi rolls, but also tempura — very healthy because it was baked! How wonderful was that! Overall, it was a fun, entertaining, hands-​on class and I finally learned how to roll sushi without it falling apart. Yippee!!!

Supermarket
I have to tell you, I am a lover of ShopRite– but not so much this place. I am not sure what the story is, but it just seems like there is no rhyme or reason to the place– I was essentially walking in circles looking for things while there.
I normally do not use this location but with the recent storm, I was looking for some items that I forgot to get at my normal location. I was expecting that all the ShopRite stores are laid out the same way, but that does not seem to be the case and as a result I wasted a lot of time and shoe leather looking for items which I would have found in a second at my usual ShopRite.
I also spent a few minutes in their produce department looking in vain for loose garlic — I dare you to find it. i found some organic garlic in a net bag and that took me almost 10 minutes to locate.
I pretty much gave up and hit the register with only 3 of the 15 or so items I wanted. No bueno.
Parking in front.

— stars! I agree with the posters Dennis on 4÷20÷2011 and Ap on 6÷23÷11 the manager Rose is a real B*tch. Just because I refuse to print coupons out in color she refuses them. As well as coupons right off the manufacturers website! She always treats me like I am stealing I live ACROSS the street from this shoprite and still try to drive the 10 minutes out of the way to there because they are helpful and nice! Why cant those people own this shoprite?

It’s a ShopRite. Hooray! They usually have a more extensive selection of marinades and sauces than most supermarkets, so… ok. If those would go on sale more, I’d buy more.

Eh, it’s okay. We usually end up in the express line and go here on weekends. We’re also religious about only buying sale items here since the prices tend to be exorbitant (except for sandwich bread, which is cheaper than anyone else’s and usually in good shape). There’s no Shop Rite anywhere near us in terms of our typical shopping route. The produce tends to be hit or miss in my experience; sometimes, you find things & sometimes I’m disgusted that they’re actually selling some of the items in the condition they are in.
Never had rude service or the need to speak to a manager here. Maybe the weekend express line people are more competent?

Had to stop in here one night for some baked goods when all the bakeries were closed. The bakery section was fairly stocked with fresh (i assume of the day) baked goods even though it was about 9pm.
I had a few minutes and walked around briefly. All of the fruit and vegetables looked wilted and dying. The shelves were a mess, but it seemed as if restocking and inventory was about to begin so that might be a reason why.
No self checkouts like other major supermarkets, and only 3 registers were open. Very unenthusiastic staff.
Parking lot in front.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. AVOID
they take only 2 of «like» internet coupons.
They will NOT double internet coupons.
The manager is rude.
They create their own coupon policies
the selection and store itself sucks.
I now make the drive out to commack without a problem. I avoid this store 100% of the time and refuse to ever go back .
I did a 2 hour shopping, walked out with nothing after a rude manager and coupon debacle.
Drive out to bayshore or commack, both stores are better, especially for couponers.

The few items I checked out at this ShopRite were appallingly overpriced and the selection was pretty paltry (perhaps the poultry section was more expansive). The sign’s old and the store’s haggard.

its a good place to get food

This store has very good sales and an AMAZING bakery. Their sales circulars usually beat every other store around. A lot of the things in the bakery are supposedly made from scratch, and while I can’t confirm it, it does taste like it.
The cons of this store? Like Chris S. said, the produce is terrible. There’s also no self-​checkout here, so you have to deal with the «wonderful» front-​end people. And the parking lot is like from the Simpsons when Bart painted the teacher’s parking spots a foot closer.
They are also the biggest coupon nazis on God’s green earth. Did a coupon kill Harry Janson’s family or something?
Aside from the bakery, just drive the extra few miles to Commack Shoprite. I hope the owners of Hauppauge straighten up before they open their store in Patchogue.

I have to give this a 1 because the produce is so bad here. Other than the produce, the sales are good for regular food items but it is a waste to go since you have to go somewhere else for fruits and veggies. More often than not, I have seen massive amounts of fruit flies and rotting tomatoes mixed in with the stock. Yeah that is no good. The meat section is not bad and they do try to keep the store very clean and presentable in the grocery sections.
