Pick N Save

Unbelievably substandard store!!!
I was there on Saturday evening on July 11, 2015. When I arrived, there was a young man putting carts away in the front of the store; He was struggling to get the last cart into place while I was struggling to get one out. Instead of offering me the cart he had his hands on, he chose to ignore me as a customer… I then headed to the produce area where I found oozing, overripe plums, DRIED UP, unappealing stacks and stacks of corn on the cob, understocked and disheveled tomatos-​on-​the-​vine that were awful looking (they even had some white stuff that was splashed onto them… had no idea what that was), and sliced watermelon that didn’t look fit to eat. There were leaves and other produce stuff on the floor, and it looked terrible. $ 1.50 for very small avocados! So, they don’t have any problems upping the price for their very poor looking assortments. (Aldi has the same for .69 next week.)
They didn’t have the 2 types of bread I needed: (sliced) Italian white bread and English muffins with raisins, which is really what I came in for.
Employees looked like they were comatose; their white shirts were wrinkled and saggy ~ kinda like the whole mood of the place.
I will NEVER shop in this store again unless I’m having a FOOD EMERGENCY. I will be taking all of my business to Aldi (which I do already) and Piggly Wiggly.
OH, and the other Pick-​n-​Save in town is no better, either. Both stores have fine tuned the art of price gouging and the definition of substandard.

I did not like this store very much when I moved into town, but I got used to it. I like this store for the meats, beer, and whatever happens to be on sale at the time. The beer selection is good (for a grocery store), and they have the «build your own 6 pack» with a decent selection. I bake and grill a lot of meat, and there is usually something on sale for a reasonable price. I like the quality of their beef and pork chops, but their chicken is just ok. Produce here sometimes lacks quality, but usually I can find good veggies to make whatever I’m in the mood for.
The main downside to this location (as well as the other Oconomowoc one) is the lack of checkout lanes open. I do not want to wait 20 minutes in line to purchase a full shopping cart here because of this… I usually just buy a day or two’s worth of groceries and do the self-​checkout. I guess this only works for me because I drive right by on my way home from work.

I seriously hate this store.
Please don’t take this the wrong way, I’m not a mean person at all. I have to be honest, though, and say that I avoid this store whenever possible, and I shop here only when it is convenient and when I am buying just the basic groceries.
Why, you ask?
While their prices are better than Piggly WIggly, you have to check the expiration dates on EVERYTHING. Especially dairy.
The items I have purchased that were discovered to be expired later:
Pancake mix in a can (refrigerated in dairy section) — 2 months expired. Told store manager — Still on the shelves a week later!!!
Milk — Often close to expiring.
Shallots — Covered in mold. God only knows how old.
Also, the produce department has a lot of shotty looking stuff. Really ugly quite often.
Oh, and the meat department literally never has a person behind the counter to help you. I have utterly given up on complaining about this one. And the store manager, Gary, is rude about it. Not that the meat is even worth buying anyway, their steaks are always tough.
I have called P’n’S corporate twice to complain. Want to know what changed? they put a doorbell on the meat counter, which upon ringing had no effect on the customer service… Nobody heard it, nobody came around the corner to wait on me.
SO! I will continue to buy potato chips, dry pasta and canned soup from this store. That’s about it.
