Well, I know where I’m hanging out in a grocery store then.I won't say they jumped the shark until this new show leads to a new sex toy section.

The closest Fareway has superior meat and produce to the closest Hy-Vee and more selection in a much smaller store because it isn’t filled with soap bombs, Hawkeye merchandise, shoes, toys, and 20 clueless kids pulling crap for online orders.
He didn't say, I was trying to avoid the order fillers running up and down aisles, so I had to cut the conversation short, with a promise to meet for a drink after the Omicron lets up.What's going to be their main competition down there? That Kroger territory?
I don't have an issue walking right past those sections I don't use, but it is nice to be able to get my groceries, beer, dog food, medicine/vitamins, shampoo/deodorant, TP and sometimes even dinner if I don't feel like cooking - all in one place.
This was a huge mistake. Why they stopped this is a mystery. Their reasoning they said is that they wanted people to pick their stuff up and still connect it to the traditional store. As everyone knows they’ve now just made the experience of shopping in the store a disaster.There actually used to be a fulfillment center in Des Moines. I worked there for a little while. That's where all online orders were filled for all the stores in central Iowa. Online shopping was popular then but not as big as it is now. Even then, we'd do anywhere from 500-1200 orders a day. Ironically, they closed that fulfillment center in Feb/March 2020 and moved all the online shopping to in the stores.
Guessing yours are smaller stores/small town? Guess my perspective comes from the metro, where the big Hy-Vees (Urbandale/now Grimes) have 3-5x the selection of Fareway on just about every item they each sell, it's not close. And everytime I've gone to Fareway (usually for meat), the overall prices aren't much if at all lower than Hy-Vee.

We have Publix here in NC, I might have a terrible one but I'd rank it behind both Teeter Harris and Food Lion that I went to so far.At least some of that is Publix, also better than Hy-Vee. Those might all be places that sell Yuengling.

Ha! For the most part, yeah, other than the fresh dinner part (don't know any Walmart that has Chinese or any of that like Hy-Vee). Also Hy-Vee is much cleaner/better experience than Walmart.You just described Walmart

3 pieces of bacon, carvers? Buy a pound or two, you will like it.Yes, a smaller town. They fired all the butchers two years ago at Hy-Vee so you can only get pre-packaged meat. And items that you buy by the number as opposed to weight, like brats, cost more and weigh less at Hy-Vee. I needed a seasoning for a recipe that I only ever found on Amazon or at Fareway. And I love that Fareway will sell me three pieces of bacon when I need that for fresh green beans or go find the exact weight turkey I want in the back and they always have whole chickens.

I miss Piggly Wiggly advertising on the Milwaukee Brewers tv games. Shop the Pig!Ah yes, Publix, Harris Teeter, Piggly Wiggly, Winn Dixie, Food Lion… people complain about Hy-Vee up here but there’s some pretty strange options in the Southeast. Maybe they’ve gotten better since the 90s.
Don't know their footprint but I've always liked Meijer and Giant Eagle stores when traveling.Ah yes, Publix, Harris Teeter, Piggly Wiggly, Winn Dixie, Food Lion… people complain about Hy-Vee up here but there’s some pretty strange options in the Southeast.

IMO… it used to be fresher. Now it always seems hours old.
It used to have a little more of a flour bottom and the appearance of at least being fresh dough and hand tossed. Now it is made from premise crust.
They used to have more variety on the rack, but now I hope you like sausage or pepperoni.
Should I go on?
One of the butchers at Fareway calls me sweetie, I think cause I am an old lady. Our Hy-Vee has no butchers, just pre-packed crap.
Fareway has good selection of local beers
