“The food here is more suitable for people of all ethnicities. Even large Chinese chili peppers can be found here. There are local Canadian nut vendors here, and the prices are very affordable. I'll try buying it next time.”
“A nice. clean, and well managed store. But this comment really, is to respond to Nan Ferraro concerning the lady who's hearing impaired... I find it pretty sad you had a bad experience and honestly I am very surprised; I was served by this employee at least a dozen times and I've NEVER seen anything remotely close to what you describe. Perhaps there's a bit of intolerance here? As far as I am concerned, this employee has always been extremely polite, kind and quite capable. If anything I even said to my husband that she's for sure one of the very best employees they have. __ So to me it seems to be something personal and it's too bad you can't see past her handicap. __ Maybe sometimes she needs a little sign to catch her attention, but that's quite rare and EVEN if one needs to make this small effort, what's the big deal? It's called being social and kind. __ Furthermore, and since you revealed your intention to go out of your way in order to talk to the manager against her, I will also make a point next time to go talk to him on her behalf (Because she most likely will need it and she deserves it too), and I encourage all those who have been served by this lady to do the same, because frankly, that kind of intolerant and unfair attitude against someone who has a disadvantage (and still gives her 120%), is really not cool at all. __ Have a pleasant day.”

Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
Trader Joe's keeps adding stores, and shoppers keep showing up. The California grocer has marked nine more locations as "opening soon," pushing its expansion into new corners of the country.
