Shaws... How much more could you suck? None more. That's how much more you could suck. None more suckage.
I live one block away from the Star Market/Shaws on Beacon Street. Aside from an incredibly friendly and helpful staff, this is the worst supermarket around. They recently tried to sell me a bag of chocolate ships for $4.50. "They're on sale," the kind checker told me and swiped my card. Then they rang in at $4.00. I put them back. At Stop and Shop a bag of Ghiradelli chocolate chips is $2. Honestly, I don't know how they stay in business. Their dry goods are frequently out of date. Boxes of cereal cost $1-2 more than they do at Stop and Shop. Their produce is wilted and old.
But the prices? They're totally out of control. It's like having a really big Store 24 close by. You only shop there when you absolutely need something NOW. I think a lot of folks that shop there, like college students just don't have a good sense of how much groceries should cost.
Alas. Have I really gotten this boring?
Happy Holidays from the old lady shaking her finger in disgust. Yeah, that's me.
Peace.

Gee, it's not like there's a Market Basket 400 meters away.
Oh wait - it is.
Oh, Holy Night, I can't believe I was that rude on Christmas!
Just be sure to use your orange card & say Hi to the guy with the 1987 Bagger of the Year tag, OK? I like him, & the semi-autistic redheaded cashier.
I live near Morse-Kelley, where nobody plays basketball at night anymore. (But my 6-year old whips me every weekend)
Merry (next) Christmas!
No worries. How kind of you to come back.
Market Basket is its own nightmare. Otherwise I'd go there more. It is very cheap and I do like their produce. But I don't like their deli or their meat. It's SO incredibly crowded, almost no matter when you go.
