Hyvee vs Fareway

Got to give it up for the Fareway meat counter! Beats Hy Vee and the service, at least in Ames, is so much better at Fareway. A great group of knowledgeable and helpful people working the meat counter in Ames!
I worked at East Euclid along with 4 others stores in the metro. You're right, that's BS. You'll see a ton of white trash there but it should be clean. Also, east Euclid had the best high school employees next to Indianola.
Last time I set foot in a HyVee, the only person working the meat counter argued with a woman for over 10 minutes rather than wait on the other half dozen waiting for service. She asked to have two pieces of the same cut individually wrapped which he did but he printed off one receipt and taped them together with in. Finally I said sir do it or don't but you need to wait on the rest of us. Employee told me to wait my turn. I responded it's been my turn you ******* moron.
I used to shop only at Hy-Vee because it is right next to the office. Recently I have been doing about 50/50 depending on what is on sale. Some things are cheaper at Fareway and some things I can only find at Hy-Vee.
As some who lives in Nevada the fresh market is a welcome change so we now have a place to go if we need something on Sundays.
But that’s one of the reasons why I like Fareway. Not the small talk, but someone loading my car and taking my cart back.
I was annoyed to see they did that while getting rid of the bag your own candy, trail mix and nuts. Another overreaction to Covid I’m guessing.
I shop both and like them for different reasons, but if I had to pick one it'd be Hy-Vee.
Hmmm... shopped multiple locations of Hy-Vee for decades and have never seen anything like this. They ask before they package it up how I want it every time for me. I've had them package the same cuts of meat all different sorts of ways, especially hamburger.

One of the places I miss from Omaha was the Fareway in my neighborhood. So awesome and convenient.
Used to Shop at HyVee in DSM but usually Target or Walmart once we moved to Omaha. HV wasn't close but wasn't as good by then it didn't seem.

Basically the argument centered around she didn't specify and he wasn't willing to print two more labels.
I kinda doubt this is the case now, what with hyvee announcing expansion into Kroger territory
I go to fareway a lot because I have one right near my house, but I have noticed that a lot of the stuff at hyvee is fresher. You'll go down the bread aisle and find stuff at fareway that only have a little bit until their best buy date, while the same ones at hyvee have longer left on them. Same with deli meats.
Fareway.
Hy-Vee is evil. Can’t walk in store with soap bombs. Last time I did, got hives and an asthma attack. They laid off a bunch of long time store workers.
Fareway has people at a meat counter, our Hy-Vee does not.
