Update 10/23: Things have improved since the diminution of covid. The checkout people are decent and (occasionally) downright nice--the reason for my 1 star upgrade. However, that nasty sidewalk outside the store continues to be a concern. Really?? Have power washers and bleach not been discovered here in Durham. Before & During Covid: My only problem with this store is having to confront the hoochie mama attitudes of a couple of the female cashiers who work there. You know the type. They think nothing of holding an inappropriate conversation (complete with foul language) with another cashier while you're paying for groceries. And they would never think to say good morning or thank you. It's as though they receive no customer service training and it's equally as doubtful that they ever received home training. Honestly, they're better equipped for picking up trash in the parks or any other job that requires no human interface. This particular store is within walking distance of my home making it very convenient for me as an older, non-driving shopper. So, finding another store is not an option. Otherwise, this is a decent store. It's orderly, clean and I can always find what I need. I would rate it 4 stars but for the aforementioned. Oh, and the sidewalk outside the entrance needs a good power wash once a week.
