Hey Everybody! My friend and I are two high school students in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) trying to conduct a survey for a school research project about grocery stores! If anyone is willing, please complete our survey and share it to any friends and family. It's pretty short, will take you 2 - 3 minutes.

hi everyone!👋🏻

we’re 3rd-year BSBA students from STI College, and we’re currently conducting a research study entitled “Delivery Tracking Quality and Customer Satisfaction among SukiGrocer Customers: Basis for Improving Delivery Service Quality.”

we’re looking for respondents who have experienced ordering from SukiGrocer and have used their delivery service. if that’s you, we’d really appreciate it if you could spare a few minutes to answer our survey!🥹🤍

your participation would mean a lot to our research. all responses will be kept confidential and handled in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012. participation is completely voluntary.

Food Lion seems to not try to hard to be fancy and keep prices closer in line to Walmart with decent produce and meats. I see how other parts of the country have only Publix or Kroger and few other options. I find both of them to be over priced minus some of the deals they run

What happened to wegmans plastic straws i use them for drinking yogurt and i couldn't find them recently

We are running a small shop and want to start new, local vendors on 90 day consignment before offering a wholesale contract to determine how well their products sell. I didn’t go to business school, but I generally understand the conditions that should go into the contract. There are other businesses in our area that operate the same way and I have spoken with our potential vendors about their contract arrangements with these shops.

How do I write contracts that are competitive, but fair? I haven’t had anyone volunteer to tell me the terms of their contracts with other markets and I don’t have relationships with these shops to ask the owners. What is “normal” or fair and what would make our contracts stand out?

Our industry is a local grocery market with vendors being farmers and bakers. Thanks for any advice, much appreciated.

Giant’s pricing practices are distasteful. The price on the label sometimes doesn’t match the price at the register. I’ve caught this numerous times but only after getting home. (Flagging it at checkout is problematic because of the need to involve a manager while facing the pressure from other waiting customers.)

Also, to get the special pricing one must have both a Giant account (and input one’s phone number )for some items AND the app for other items. The app design is confusing.

Finally, if one adds items to the app just before checking out, sometimes it’s not logged in time so they won’t discount it. The regular staff have no authority to fix these snafus.

Tell me I’m the unlucky one, the only one. Bit into a cornbread muffin (NEW item at Trader Joe’s) to a sour taste killing the insides of my mouth. Bought these today! TJs page doesn’t allow quality issue posts, so posting elsewhere for psa. I just assume it’s baking powder and salt clumped up somehow, ingredients not mixed in well. 🤷‍♀️cut into more of it only to find a humongous piece of dried white powder fused together at the bottom. Yikes.

For over a decade this store (QFC) has printed "member" "discount" prices in a yellow box with red font and the original price above. Now the black font above is the member price, with even smaller text above with the original price, and you need to buy at least 5 to get the yellow box price. Also they recently switched to digital price tags, just lovely.

Halloween candy is up over 15% this year, roughly four times overall inflation, mostly because cocoa, sugar and corn syrup have all spiked (cocoa alone is up around 144% since 2019). Curious if you’re hearing it from customers, or seeing it in how much candy is actually moving vs last year. Feels like the kind of thing that hits the store floor before anyone explains why.

Hi, I have been trying to identify these bulk bins online to find their brand but I have not had any luck. I have seen them at Winn-Dixies as well as Harveys grocery stores. The 2 main sizes are 24x24 and a 35x35 top. They have wheels and an adjustable height center. The visible sides in these pictures are just corrigated plastic signs but most of the bin itself is a white painted metal. The top half of the bins have a metal side panel on each side.

Does anyone know what brand they are from or where I can find more information about them?

Do you check supermarket specials first and build meals around them, or decide on meals first and then buy whatever ingredients you need?

I'm curious because I feel like I spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to optimise my grocery bill every week.

Hi all!

I am an Irish Leaving Certificate Business student, and part of our course is to do a project on digitalisation's impact on either employers or employees.

For this, I have decided to make up a survey and was wondering if you (a supermarket employee) would be willing to take part in a small bit of research?

Your response would be amazing, and this data will ONLY be used for my Leaving Cert project, and will not be used anywhere else.

Thank you ever so much for your time 💗💗💗

We have been relying on online delivery from a used to be good organic food chain. The food quality is so bad recently that I had to throw away half of vegetables… really could not stand any longer.

They can’t claim salaries when we go through self check out. We should get a discount for checking and bagging our own stuff.
