Bad Delivery Experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Delivery was late; waited over 3 hours and had to pick up in-store.
  • - Suggest removing delivery for Enfield, CT store or using a more reliable service.

My wife and I have shopped in Stop & Shop for decades. Yesterday we decided that we would try your delivery service for the first time.

We had no problem making our order.

But we did have a major problem with the delivery.

After waiting over 3 hours from our delivery time, I ended up having to go to the store and pick it up, as none of their usual drivers even picked it up yet.

This to me is horribly poor service and you should be ashamed of what happened. This creates a terrible reputation for this store, as I have read many other like complaints on local social media.

In my opinion you need to either remove delivery service from the Enfield, CT store's website, or find a better more reliable service that would provide steady timely deliveries.

Thank you for listening

Cons:
  • Horrible delivery service

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Either provide your customers with a more reliable delivery service, or remove the delivery option from the Enfield, CT store

Deliveries are made through Instacart and not the store. Let me guess, you didn't add a tip to the order, live forever and a day away or order 10 cases of bottled water.

I'm also going to guess that your community has a not tipping rep and no one wants to fool with you people. Plan to go there and get your own stuff going forward.

  • - Pulled pork from Stop & Shop labeled Chef Prep Foods contained bones.

I purchased a package of pulled pork from stop and shop, labeled as chef prep foods. The meat was loaded with bones, and I didn't know until biting into it.

There were several black small bones in the meat and I had to dispose of it. I will never ever shop here again.

Stop And Shop - Dirty Groceries

Willimantic location used to be dirty dirty dirty, with nasty grubby floors and awful smells. They fixed the floor, but the smell is still there and they dont take care of their merchandise.

Damaged packaging and worst of all, groceries that straight up have dirt and marks on them. I couldnt find a single box of Diet Coke with lime that was clean.

Cons:
  • Overpriced
  • Bad customer service
  • Dirty

Preferred solution: Nothing, just wanted to alert other potential shoppers to the issue

User's recommendation: Shop anywhere else if you care about cleanliness

  • - Staff rude; manager is useless and out of line.
  • - Refused change at self-checkout; sent to cashiers.
  • - Older employee with a cane should retire.

Stop and shop eastchester NY. This is not my first horrible encounter with this woman, others have also told me their experiences.

Monday 2/2 approximately 3;30pm. This place is run by *** Each staff is worse and less helpful than the next. The woman who thinks she is a manager is totally useless, rude and out of line. They refused to give me my change (the self checkout was out of bills apparently) and made me go to three cashiers and customers and still refused.

The older woman with a cane needs to be retired, go to a nursing home or do something with herself it is no ones fault but her own that she is stuck working there at her age.

Im in charge and you are not getting it. Needs a complete overhaul and weeks of training in procedures and customer service.

Pros:
  • Location
Cons:
  • No training
  • Rude staff
  • Incompetence

Preferred solution: The employee to be reprimanded, receive proper training or be terminated.

User's recommendation: Avoid this store or have this woman fired or retrained.

No longer a long time customer after today

  • - Only two registers open and self-checkout problems occur.
  • - Prices are overpriced.
  • - A self-checkout error rang up the same item again, making me pay for three.
Stop And Shop - No longer a long time customer after today

The things I noticed about Stop & Shop is that they no longer employ people that care about their customers I was going to the store in West Caldwell for many years no longer will I do that after today I noticed the big change in the store and the company for how they handle their customers their prices are not anything to brag about they are overpriced on everything here's what I discovered I was in West Caldwell store and went to buy many different items when I went to the self-checkout because they only always have two registers open even at their peak hours it's like they don't care about convenient shopping a I was forced to go to the self-checkout store number 2807 West Caldwell at the self checkout I was having problems the machine wouldn't proceed and said help is on the way wow what help instead of actually fixing the problem she took the item that I already paid for and rang it up again so instead of being paying for two of those items I ended up paying for three when I got to the front door I just looked at the items and realized what she had done and decided I no longer will go there their prices are nothing to brag about and I have a brand new ShopRite opening up right across the street I will pin this receipt up against my mirror to remind me not to go back there again and to force myself over the ShopRite it seems to me that ShopRite needs new management and they need to straighten out their employees as to who the customers are and how they should be treated this woman was a black woman a big heavy black woman didn't give a damn that she rang me up an item I already paid for enough is enough

User's recommendation: Customer service is terrible you need to open up more cash registers so people can go to a register not self checkout forcing people to go to self checkout only leads to problems especially when a customer

PRODUCT ISSUE

AI Highlights
  • - Cado avocado ice cream from Stop & Shop expired in Dec 2024.

Stop And Shop - PRODUCT ISSUE

I recently purchased a pint of Cado avocado ice cream from Stop & Shop and discovered after consuming part of it that it had expired in December 2024. Today's date is August 26, 2025, so the product was nearly 9 months past its expiration date. The fact that this was available for sale raises huge concerns about quality control and food safety.

Preferred solution: Explanation on how this could happen and to serve as a documentation if a food-borne illness occurs.

Accused of stealing 2 times when i had paid and had receipt

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Accused of not paying twice at Stop & Shop; receipts shown.
  • - Bagger yelled across the lot; manager Rolando Mendez grabbed my phone.

At Stop & Shop in North Andover, I was accused of not paying twice, even though I had paid and had receipts. Yesterday (Dec 18th 2025) was the second time.

The bagger was yelling that I had not paid from across the parking lot. I had forgotten to pick up the receipt. The manager, Rolando Mendez, was obnoxious and showed no remorse in either case. I have nover been humuliated like this.

When I tried to take a photo, he grabbed my phone and would not return it. What is company policy, are they being racist. He did not apologize.

All he had to say is you are set. He should be given a broom, not a manager's role.

Return the soda for the refund. The only refund you are entitled to is the price difference.

Store #0005 Peabody, MA

I was going to purchase scallions, but I noticed all the tops are chopped off to fit in a stupid plastic bin.

Cherry tomatoes are rotting in the bottom of plastic containers on shelves.

I shop at Market Basket now.

They don't put their produce into short bins and chop items to fit.

Bad Customer Service

AI Highlights
  • - I waited in line at the Fort Salonga store.
  • - The cashier wore a mask below her nose, gloves on, and was rude.
  • - There was no manager around.

I went to the Fort Salonga store. I waited online, the cashier had mask below her nose and gloves on.

She looked like she jus woke up. I proceeded on the line, but when I coughed this cashier told me get off the line. I looked at her in disbelief. There was no manager around.

The cashier was very nasty and rude. I took my items and went to another line.

My advice is you need better cashier to be more professional and cleaner. Also, make sure they know the CDC rules of wearing mask.

User's recommendation: This cashier needs to go.
