Appetizing and Salad Bar - such deterioration in all ways
There are four near me and I feel they’ve really deteriorated in availability, ingredients, consistency and the offerings.
The appetizing area in the store closest to me has been like 25% occupied. It’s empty and hardly anything in there and what’s there does not look very good. The salad bar is using more and more oils in the ingredients and it seems a lot of the stuff is now more the prepared food and it just seems to have a decline and what they offer in some of the things like the more expensive items have like disappeared. From day-to-day you can’t tell really what you’re going to get. I’ve gone there at times to get a salad bar which I’ve been doing for 20 or 30 years and I wind up with nothing because I can’t find anything on there that’s decent like I always did. And the bulk bins where they would normally have several types of nuts. They’re mostly empty and in many cases there’s one out of six or seven and the other ones just sit empty or they’ve removed them or they don’t sell them anymore or they’ve replaced organic whole natural with oil and roasted and everything else. Sorry to vent. It’s a bit shocking as they always walked on water and I’m not seeing that any longer at all. They seem to have become one less place you can depend upon.
