“Did a quick stop by for my daughter bday and found myself some great items. I found her the cutest jewelry organizer and a couple of candles that were actually marked down to $4!”
“The shelves are always well stocked. There is an excellent variety of products available and some superb surprise sale items. The staff are as friendly as can be, always greeting me with a warm smile and courteous service.”
“Gas gas. Save 10cents on the gallon..food shopping store was so busy , no shopping carts,you had to go to customers car to get a cart. Lots of bargains. I do recommend thisocation for shopping needs”
“Whoot Whoot! Outstanding Customer Service from EVERYONE we encountered. Katherine, the cashier in the front area of the store, deserves a Sunshine award. She brings joy to her customers with full-force enthusiastic zeal. This store is super clean. I mean, not an aisle or item on the racks are out of line. The glass counter displays are glistening in the sun. Yes, this is a military store, and everything is ready for inspection. I was proud of the exchange. I'm impressed that they kept it in such great shape. I visited this exchange as a child, and that was quite a while ago - heehee. They sell clothes, electronics, food, small appliances, hardware, alcoholic beverages.”
“Been going to the mini marts since 1978. They are quick places to pick up snack munches for anyone. They have uniform needs for our men and women. All in one fast stops!”
“The Kroger on Frederick Blvd in Portsmouth is absolutely the nicest Kroger I have ever been inside. The selection...... AMAZING! It makes grocery shopping a total pleasure.”
“Great selection, wide open aisles, friendly staff, lots of choices. Will definitely be back for my weekly shopping or while I’m in town. Highly recommended! A+++ all the way”
“Customer service was outstanding. She didn't hesitate and nswered all my questions along with directing me right to where I needed to go. Thank you all very much.”
“It pumps gas at normal speed. Gas prices lag behind local rate. Cheaper off base sometimes. Air pump works most of the time. No mini mart though, close to main NEX”
“Csshiers were notvthe best in the World but the store was clean and layed oit fairly well. Not as good as the one i usually go to but for some reason that store was closed today.”
“Great for the most part, but inconvenient when drive thru is not open. I'm sure that's because they're short staffed at times.I would recommend though.”
“I've never shopped at Kroger before, that being said, I was delighted to see how many options they give you. The produce is fresh and well displayed. The isles are huge so you don't have to squeeze around other shoppers. My only complaints are the prices. They are more expensive than other grocery stores but have more options. I may go back, but in this economy my wallet will not condone it.”
“I wish your Sam’s gluten free bread didn’t have so many air bubbles in it, my jelly and mayonnaise leaks through the slices. Please contact your supplier because I can’t find any one to contact!!! Thanks”
“There's a new Walmart greeter at Frederic Blvd Walmart, and he's awesome. He seems to be one of those "extra mile" people who goes above and beyond what is expected of a job. Most greeters would politely greet the customers as they push their cart with a crazy squeaky wheel through the sliding doors, or some greeters may simply manage a slight nod. But Ed attacks the customers with a greeting that lets them know he MEANS it. As a shopper who is accustomed to the casual smiles and nods, I temporarily jumped out of my skin when Ed shouted at me as I walked through the door. "HOW are you DOING???!! ... HAVE a great SHOPPING EXPERIENCE!!", he yelled, tossing in air punches like a little league coach. Once I peeled myself from the ceiling and accepted the change, I gave him a thumbs up. People aren't always happy when they have to go shopping. We are tired. We have already battled a portion of the day dealing with people who don't appreciate us. And I admit, I don't spend enough of my day appreciating people for what they do or just who they are. A simple smile from across the room is enough to keep our weary selves going through the day. Smiles are free! We are social people, and we learned this important fact more than ever during the Covid-19 lock-down. We are still practicing some of the restrictions we began over a year ago. Simple smiles today are difficult to recognize under the mask. I joke around with people, but half of what I say is misinterpreted because they can't see my facial expressions. Have you TRIED hugging someone six feet away? I feel like we're back in elementary school with classmates accusing me of having cooties, only now they pull out the hand sanitizer and bathe themselves in it after I hand them a pen. So, when I walked into Walmart today, greeted by Ed; and as I continued to shop, listening - and quietly laughing to myself - as he greeted new shoppers strolling through the door, I recognized it as a time to stop and appreciate people around me. Not just Ed, but the cashier who rang us up, the worker on the floor who apologized for being in my way, when I was preventing them from doing their job, and all the unseen workers who make my shopping experience easier by their hard work. It was an uplifting experience for a hum-drum day that started and ended with Ed. I guess you could say Ed put the beat back in my drum. On my way out the door, cart loaded with goodies that took no time depleting our bank of money that took weeks to earn, I noticed Ed was a no-nonsense type of guy. He doesn't appear to waste the company time taking water breaks; he brought his own. And as I walked toward him with receipt in hand, Ed shouts, "WHAT have you got for me?! LET me SEE HERE!" I handed him the receipt to prove I didn't steal the groceries. He didn't pretend to look at the receipt and count the purchased items to make sure everything added up (nobody falls for that); Ed simply took the receipt, glanced at it and handed it back with "HAVE a nice DAY!! COME back AGAIN!!" I WILL be returning, and each time I do, I'll be looking forward to Ed's greeting! Next time, I'll be more mentally prepared to keep my feet on the ground. Thank you, Ed, for a pleasant shopping experience, coming and going!”
“Got everything we needed for the super bowl last night everything in and out I don't want you to self checkout morning crazy we thought it was going to be in there”
