“We like this hyvee a lot. It's close to home. Usually no problems. In the last month, we had to bag our own groceries twice. I am 66 with disabilities in my arms. I was by myself at that time. The second time my husband 68 was with me and he bagged the groceries. While a young man stood there yawning. Both times our carts were medium to completely full. This doesn't look good on hyvee when older people are bagging their own groceries especially when we are loyal and spend good money at your store.”

“I recently went to the Hy-Vee bakery looking for a cake for my sons birthday. As I was looking through the cake selection book I happened to look over and up behind the bakery counter and I saw the most fantastic cheeseburger cake. I spoke with Monika, and found out that it was a specialty cake that she had just added to display. I asked if it was possible to customize it as my son eats plain hamburgers and would find the humor in that and Monika was very accommodating. The cake turned out so amazing. Monika is so creative and the cake turned out so good. A big THANK YOU to Monika for being just so nice and accommodating but also a fantastic creator of beautiful tasty cakes!”
