The only reason to go there is because of their low prices...on some stuff...but the food is all suspect. More than once I've seen products being sold in old packaging long after the redesigned stuff has shown up at other stores. On top of that, they only take cash and Discover. Cheap bastards.

I have already learned that Sat. and Sunday ANYTIME is a bad time to go. You'd think that some of the 1/2 million people out and about on a Tuesday at 1:00 (doesn't anyone work anymore?) would be going to do their grocery shopping but they wait till the weekend. I now know what cashiers NOT to go to and which ones have half a brain. Dave if you don't want your head to explode then never EVER under any circumstances go to Marc's EVER!!!!!!!!! You may end up killing someone. They have scanners now, but do they use them? NOPE. I asked once "why are you not using the scanner?" her reply was something like "we only use them for certain items" or something like that. I almost punched her. No discount will ever make me go back. OH yeah, you should have asked me. I have already learned that Sat. and Sunday ANYTIME is a bad time to go.

Wait....Jewel works in the produce section of your store, Jim? Dude, I would shop there all the time, complement her melons. Guess the music career isn't working out - so sad. Other Jim Dylan’s new nickname at Lowes is “Unidentified item in bagging area”.

Jewel doesn't put the code stickers on half the stuff in the produce area, and it takes too long to look the items up. Then I figured out if the boys are with me they will make it go twice as long because inevitably one of them will touch the thing the bags are on that is also apparently a scale and screw the whole works up, getting that damn "remove item from bagging area" sign. So there I am, in the self checkout area, yelling at the kids "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING,I'M ALMOST DONE! DON'T TOUCH!!!!

Spraay! Awww, not refreshing at all!

We stopped there on the way to the office to pick up some sammich fixins. I don't think I've ever been at Giant Eagle at that time on a Sunday, and you can bet I won't be back. And yeah, the tile in Produce - what the hell is up with that? Did they forget about the shopping carts? lol @ all of you.

Look within, o master of the domain. Whenever I'm in Cleveland, I go to Giant Eagle. For something. Usually beer or something to tip in chocolate fondue. The tilework in the produce section is very soothing.
