Hy-Vee Grocery Store

Been a senior. The TV dinners were on sale. Bottle water is on sale. Not eligible for insurance food card. Need to made my money stretch.

Grocery store is usally stocked well and registers enough to keep lines short. I whish they would utilize the self checkout lane designed for people with a full cart. Only self checkout is for small carts of groceries.

Too expensive

Bought a 8-piece bucket of fried chicken. It was dry and obviously under the heat lamp far too long. I’ve had better chicken from a TV dinner. It would have gone back except for the 3-mile drive. Bad news.

Very nice upscale grocery store with reasonable prices. They also have a very nice deli and varied hot food options. Most stores have a nice area to sit down and enjoy a meal with booths and a drink machine. Some even have a bar in the eating area. Hy-Vee also has an agreement with Tesla, such that a lot of their locations have Tesla Superchargers in their parking lots. VERY convenient and very forward thinking.

I’ve loved HyVee for years. This particular location has been my favorite. Unfortunately during a recent trip this week it seems the quality of goods has rapidly declined. On multiple items the refrigeration systems seems to not be working properly causing the packaging to become damp. I picked up a bag of bagels only to find they were covered in water. When picking out vegetables, on more than one occasion they were spoiled, specially the sport peppers. I purchased grape tomatoes and opened them today. One day after I purchased them and they are already spoiled.

There might be a helpful smile in every AISLE at this store, but certainly not in the BAKERY. The bakery manager (yes, the MANAGER) did not want to take my order for two sheet cakes today, was gruff, unfriendly, and not helpful. I even had a photo of cake with all the information neatly typed out to make it easier. I got the feeling that this made him angry for some reason. I have ordered my annual recital sheet cakes from this store for at least 25 years but never again.
