[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think of Amazon Fresh like a better stocked local 7-11 or other small convenience store. Good for an item or two you forgot but not the weekly shop.[/quote]

I have only gone in one once but this matched my experience. I went to the one in Potomac Landing right after it opened. It was sparkling clean and well stocked with what they were selling, but I found the selection and variety really weird. The produce section was very small and, for instance, they only had two kinds of apples (gala and Granny Smith) and they only had white onions (no red or yellow). They didn't have King Arthur flour. They only had Campbells soup. There's no bakery so they only have commercial breads which we prefer not to buy. And so on. Even though the store was a decent size, it was so limited and they would only have one brand of anything and it was often some middling brand I never buy. I'd go in one again if I needed a few items urgently and it was very convenient. But I will never go out of my way to go to one.

Also, yes, the employees were awful. I went to pay during check out and pulled out my phone and she said, very rudely, "you can't use Apple Pay here." I said, "does Google Pay work?" because I have an android (and also what grocery store doesn't accept smart phone payment systems now??) and she literally yelled at me, "NO! That won't work either!" Like I'm sorry if that's something you've had to repeat all day because everyone asks but also, it's your literal job and it's not my fault the store you are working for couldn't figure out how to set up a very common payment method before opening.

So yeah, it's a hard no for me.[/quote]
