They didn't have the evercrisp apples programmed into the system, so I couldn't use my clipped coupon.

Over prices. Buy one get one free isn't a deal when they raise the price of the 1st one hate digital coupons. Phone reception is lousy when in the store. I don't like that they guard the bags and charge for them. Don't like that they solicit donations on ever transaction. I'm sure they get a huge write-off
