“Staff is always nice. I went to the bbq cart outside and the food was great. It's nice to have that option during the summer. The kid working the cart was overwhelmed though and could have used some help. I watched at least ten people order after me and get their food before me. I had a simple hotdog order and thought it would be a good choice on my lunch break. Oh well, he was trying”

“Hi. I want to start by saying excellent customer service every time I've been to this market and been a great experience with the exception of their ability to match tags with their actual Transaction price. This is not the first time I've bought something and it just doesn't match. something will be marked down and then their system will not match the ticketed value and this instance the tag said $3.69 and I was charged five dollars right not much of a loss and I don't think this is malicious. I just think it's mistake they need to correct. Last week it was lettuce it was marked down to 250 charge me six bucks. This can be avoided by catching it at the point of sale however, you know it's not always easy to remember that when you're having a Social interaction with you know social anxiety.”

“Walked up from our hotel and grabbed a couple local beers from them. Pretty good selection for a smaller store as far as my IPAs go. Did notice they had a decent selection of hot food choices for their customers. Chevron prices (more than average) but worth it to me because I prefer cleanliness over anything when I'm in any type of store. Staff were very friendly.”
