Business expense. You need a couple of express delivery vehicles, don't you?

I've talked about them on another thread. They simply do not care about their business. I think the only reason they do reasonably well is because its relatively decent and convenient for many in the area. I threatened to leave them once I found another store I could conveniently go to, and I have since found the Associated on Franklin, south of EP. Haven't been back since. I was a ten-year customer.

I'm not sure which is the lesser of two evils, the Keyfood on Flatbush, or the Keyfood on Washington. The Met on Vanderbilt is just okaaay, but certainly can be counted on for the basics. Wish that they had a better selection of grains, but that's another story. I haven't been to the other market on Washington, and from the writing on other threads, I don't think that I want to.

Although I think that they got rid of the surliest of cashiers over at the Flatbush Keyfoods. Either that, or she quit. But I like to imagine that it wasn't her choice to leave, because it makes me feel better.

They can afford Maserati's and Bentley's because they are ripping the neighborhood off. They never have prices on anything. The meathead owners are taking advantage of the HIPSTER's that are moving into the 'Hood. They have a lot more money to spend and they probably are not coupon clipping so who needs prices on stuff.

I shop at C-Town on Washington. : :

C- town is on Washington between Park Place and Prospect.

Maybe some on was angry that half the food they bought on a previous visit was spoiled by the time they got it home. I know that happened to me more a couple times when I was still trying to shop there.

What other businesses do they own?

I wish we could organize a proper boycott. ancient produce, expired goods everywhere & that f'g Maserati... If we could just get everyone to do Fresh Direct. If people didn't have credit cards we could sell stuff out of a storefront for cash or sumthin...Need boycott!!!!

i been sayin f those fools they'll never get another dolla from me

You spend too much time on Craigslist!

NSA = National Supermarket Association, which if I'm not mistaken, includes C-town, the Met, Key Foods, Associated, a bunch-O-little guys.

Funny.

I always pegged you as a carrot guy.

Or maybe a turnip.

what did your buttons say ????

I hate this place.

I ran in there to get some eggs a few weeks ago and realized that nothing in their dairy case had any price listed on it. Ridiculous. I left without buying anything and haven't shopped there since. (I've also noticed the missing price tag thing in the Flatbush Key Foods.)

The place also smells toxic.

I haven't witnessed any shouting matches between management and customers recently, but I've seen a few a while back. One of which I recall starting as mis-communication about where an item was. The male customer made a snotty comment, which didn't go ignored. The exchange went back and forth a few times until I thought it might come to blows.
A second was when a woman charged into the store claiming that one of the owners told another neighborhood woman that they didn't want her in the store anymore. Both sides lost their shit and argued into the street.
I'd like to say that neither events offended me. They were actually pretty funny. What offends me is that soapy taste on their chicken cutlets and breasts. Seriously, after soaping, please rinse cutting surfaces. Shit is foul.
