Price Chopper: Ranked worst grocery store in US September 21, 2015 Dmitri Voltova Leave a comment
Schenectady, NY-
Price Chopper, a grocery store found throughout New York and New England, has ranked as the WORST grocery store in the US from a combination of factors: analysis of 5 key factors, votes from contributors and Consumer Reports.
So why is Price Chopper considered “The Worst?”
CLEANLINESS: 5/100
Walking into Price Chopper, you’ll feel a sense of filth. It isn’t the clutter of a smaller grocery store chain, but a sign that employees just do not care. Mud on the floors, broken light fixtures, cigarette butts outside of the store, and in an Albany NY location on Deleware a reviewer on YELP.com says
“This store is just an outright insult. The store itself often smells horrible. On my last trip to pick up milk, the entire interior smelled like badly rotted cabbage and that’s certainly not the worst odor I’ve experienced there. The parking lot isn’t much better; I’ve lost track of how many times that one corner of the lot has flood over the storm drain resulting in a fetid pool of storm sewer water, litter, and muck. They’ve had at least twenty years to deal with that issue. “
Rotting cabbage scents could be the decomposing body of mice in air vents, or stale fish that has went uncleaned
PRICES: 32/100
Investigators at “All over Albany” have found Price Chopper to be the highest priced store between all “three” chains there, Hannaford, Price Chopper, and Report Here.
Employee Satisfaction: 20/100
Price Chopper gets only 2 stars on Indeed.com, making it one of the lowest rated stores on our list. A Windsor Locks, CT employee at the deli counter had this to say: “After 9 years I left this company. The management does not support their employees. The human resource team is not to help the employees it’s their to protect the company and cover up the company’s wrong doings. The only good thing is the people who are there. Your expected to be on call all the time if I want more than 10-15 hrs a week.”
No Wonder Price Chopper has spent MILLIONS to change their name to market 32.

What the heck is this prntly site? It seems to get ads from various sources, that tells me it may be biased.
Then I was reading something on there about Price Chopper and it's ranking, I was going to copy and paste it, I clicked on the screen and upon doing so some website came up saying there's a firewall issue detected and then one of these gray boxes that gives you the choices to click on "leave this page" or "stay on this page."
So that pretty much sums up what kind of website that is. IMO some tabloid site that I would not put much faith in.
The message that I tried to copy and paste alluded to information coming from a few sources, including Consumer Reports (which does not accept any advertising) and that site has 17 supermarkets ranked worse than Price Chopper throughout the country. But the comments on the blog thing had some comments from people referencing the Eastern Ave store and the one on I think Delaware Ave as being the worst of the Price Chopper Stores, saying ghetto choppers. Other people posted saying the Price Chopper stores (near them) are very good. It's just like Hannaford in Rotterdam these days, it can be really bad, Walmart too (with the fights in the store, in the parking lot, and no employees to help you other than cashiers who don't know about products, not that department employees know anything about products either--yes, those days of product knowledge are gone.
People can go to these various tabloid sites, such as houzz.com, and post anything and it's not verifiable. Some people, e.g., competitors, might write something critical of another business, or the best one which would be fake but I love it, and it's not necessarily any certain website, would be a landlords giving a glowing reference to a tenant from hell, even an employer giving a glowing recommendation.
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

I'm not a big fan of Price Chopper, but to base a review on the Deleware Ave , Albany store is misleading. That is about the worst PC in the Capital District. It's like basing a review of Walmart solely on the Rotterdam store.
My main complaints about Price Chopper are the narrow isles, when compared to Hannaford, which on a busy Satuday makes shopping a pain... and second, a lack of continuity of where they put related food items.. stuff that would make sense to go together are at the opposite ends of the store.

On spreadsheets you can sort data by various categories.
I want a supermarket where the items are arranged by unit pricing.
Put the lowest unit price items in the first aisle and increase the cost as you go through the store.
That way I could just leave the store after I reach the $3 per pound aisle.
