Comments on: Is it just my imagination, or does the selection at the Allston Stop & Shop really suck compared to the nearby Shaw’s? http://blog.kamens.us/2009/11/23/is-it-just-my-imagination-or-does-the-selection-at-the-allston-stop-shop-really-suck-compared-to-the-nearby-shaws/ Musings of an indignant mind Sun, 20 May 2012 19:23:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: jen http://blog.kamens.us/2009/11/23/is-it-just-my-imagination-or-does-the-selection-at-the-allston-stop-shop-really-suck-compared-to-the-nearby-shaws/comment-page-1/#comment-105005 jen Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:44:46 +0000 http://blog.kamens.brookline.ma.us/~jik/wordpress/?p=1124#comment-105005 Actually, I stopped shopping there (except for emergencies) because at 8:45 am any day of the week, when I was coming back from dropoff at school, they would be "out" of skim, 1%, and 2% store brand milk ($3.69) and only be carrying Garelick ($4.29, and spoils within two days of purchase) or Hood ($4.69). I also have complained to Boston's...don't remember, either ISD or BoH...because some bags of candy I was looking at on the discount/damaged items shelves had unmarked holes. My recent experience with a mouse infestation caused me to recognize the holes in the packages. The clerk's reaction, when I called her attention to it, was a "so what?" And that's why we have competition.

It always seems to take me five tries to scan every item, which gets very frustrating very quickly... I admit that I can’t stand the self-scan lanes.
