Let's just all agree that Ultra Foods is the worst. The WORST, Jerry!


The Ultra Foods locations I've been to are decent and they have self-checkout. They are better than the Cub Foods that they replaced. The prices are consistently lower than Jewel and Dominick's everyday prices. Like any grocery store a lot of a person's experience is based on the local store. But there are some stores that are better than others and encountering a bad store doesn't make all the stores in the chain bad. If the whole chain was bad they would be out of business.

Ultra Foods: Great Prices, I agree. But they are constantly out of stock on a bunch of items, and they have the worst meat and produce I have ever seen.


Food 4 Less is pretty bad
There's one right by my work, i needed a few things so i ran there at lunch one day...bought a couple of apples and when i got back to my office i bit into one and it was all mealy and gross. looked ok though
never going there again

Yes, I definitely thing Food 4 Less is worse than Ultra Foods. See the problem is that any grocery store, even the good ones, can have bad produce or meat if the stuff is sitting too long.

JERRY: Bad peach?

KRAMER: It's terrible!

JERRY: Did you get that at Joe's?

KRAMER: Yeah, of course I got it at Joe's.

JERRY: That's surprising, his fruit is usually the best.

KRAMER: You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna return this.

JERRY: You're returning used fruit?

KRAMER: Jerry this peach is sub par.



[location: Joe's]

JOE: So what do you want me to do?

KRAMER: I want restitution.

JOE: Restitution? You want restitution? Why should I give you restitution?

KRAMER: Because it's no good.

JOE: When you put that fruit out, that's where it ends for me.

KRAMER: It's still your fruit, you gotta stand behind your fruit.

JOE: I stand behind my fruit.

KRAMER: So...

JOE: Hey, you got a bad peach? That's an act of God. He makes the peaches. I don't make the peaches, I sell the peaches. You have a problem? You talk to him.

KRAMER: You know this whole place is going vrrrrrrrrrrrrt, downhill. I could have come in here last week with a bad plum but I let it go.

JOE: Well let me put a solution for ya: do your business elsewhere, I don't want your business.

KRAMER: Oh now you don't want my business?

JOE: No, I don't want your business and from this moment you're banned from the store, you're banned!

KRAMER: But what am I gonna do for fruit?

First visit today to the Jewels across the street since the change. Grabbed a couple protein bars and proceed to pay. Customer Service lines are three deep with bluehairs w/full shopping carts. Spot a lane with no waiting just as this little old lady approaches w/ a full cart. Sweet old thing let me go in front of her. She was a hoot to chat with - saying she did one good deed a day and this was it, even jokingly wielded her newly-bought skillet in a threatening manner if I didn't move along.

Of course JORR was in my head the whole time as I smiled and considered the interaction otherwise wouldn't have taken place. Dammit!

You made an old lady's day! See, this is the first step back toward a civilized society. However, the transformation will not be complete until women cease to wear shower shoes to black tie events.

She was threatening our guy with cooking supplies!!

Furious was thisclose to being entrapped into an elderly beating scam!

This all could have been avoided. The man just wanted a protein bar and now he has to beat up old people to do it.

I have actually only been to Piggly Wiggly once or twice. I am Pic-N-Save for the essentials and then go to Sendik's for all of the meat products.

Yeah. They're checkout people are by far the worse I've ever come across (outside of a CVS).

I do self checkout. I don't need some goofy ass cashier looking at my astroglide, popcorn, carrots and freezy pops and getting idears.

But if I have a big order I want some one bagging that shit. Fuck you. Bag my shit.

You should get better mail order stuff or go to specialty stores. Poor dsw. Jewel astroglide...you can do better. It doesn't have to be organic either

Self checkout is a must for petroleum jelly.

no one should buy store brand lube. There should be a law against such things.

Maybe at some point when the drinking on this board is at an all time high, we'll come to some conclusions on the best lube's around.

For the love of Christ don't tell me you're one of those "Surprise Party" types. Mercy. Last thing I need is my dick smelling like strawberry shortcake when I'm trying to pass out after some dirty mcnasty.

the same thing for +8 years. And unless your anatomy is screwy, your nose isn't down there, it's up next to something else.

Yeah, well, I dunno maybe there's something ah, not right in that area if the smell needs to be resolved with scented lube?
I mean I don't want to ask but I kinda want to ask...

I'm not referring to it being a toxic waste dump. It's just that I have a sensitive nose and I'd rather have a pleasant olfactory experience.
