Jewel Food Stores

Store is well stocked, except checking out seems to have gotten a little difficult. Stopped by this morning (11/16/11), got some groceries and there was one lady at the self-serve line. I asked another employee which register was open and she told me "register one". Took out all my groceries and the other cashier wanted to know who told me to go there. I pointed to the other lady. The cashier said the line was closed. Left my groceries and walked out. Plus you can't purchase gift cards at the registers like other Jewels. You have to go to the service desk (which is an extra line). This was my last trip to this Jewel. more

I still do a lot of shopping here, but this store has gotten worse over the last few years. Prices on non-sale items are high. Jewel has reacted to the competition basically by reducing staff. Checkout lines have lengthened, hours at the service counters, particularly meat and seafood have shortened. It's really a matter of competition. The produce markets have come in with less corporate overhead and non-union employees and are able to sell items, particularly deli, for a lot less than Jewel. They are still worth visiting, for sale items, house brand items and fresh meats on sale, but don't go during peak times and don't get carried away on items you can buy less expensively elsewhere. I'm pretty critical of this store, because I don't have as much problems with checkout lines at their other stores, but the high regular prices exist throughout the chain. more

I go to this Jewel to pick up my groceries all the time. This store is really big and they have everything I need here. I can even get shampoo and soaps from the store right next door Osco. I think you should get their Preffered Card becaause you can really save a lot of money with that card. I have a key chain with the card so I never forget. Go to the front desk and pick one up so you can save at this great store. more
