Avoid this place at all costs. Living in the city, unfortunately, I've had to shop here as it's close to the house and convenient location-wise--that is until Trader Joe's came to Boylston Street. The staff at Star/Shaw's is unattentive, not willing to help you, and you get attitude when you go to the register after waiting an hour in line. Of course, there are a few nice people at the store, but for the most part, they are not. The food quality is not great. Vegetables I've gotten usually go bad quickly and a friend of mine bought fish there and found a fly in it. Now, I try not to step foot in the store unless I'm in a desperate situation. I'd rather go to Trader Joe's or Bread and Circus and pay a little more money than deal with this place.
