The Fresh Market

I was surprised by this high priced market's relatively poor sanitation rating in their deli section -- a 90.5 last I checked. In comparison, the deli at the Harris Teeter I go to has a rating of 101. They also don't list the ingredients of their salads and other items the way Whole Foods does. And, the checkout lines are usually longer than I would like. Pros: Good selection Cons: Customer service, sanitation rating more

It's unfortunate that one of the best places to find a good cut of meat also brings forth some of the most unfriendly people I've met in my vast experience with customer service. Again and again I encounter some of the rudest people behind the meat counter and as late as yesterday was greated with a friendly, ""yeah?"" from the deli department. I was hoping she was just continuing her conversation with another person behind the counter but nope, this was her way of saying, ""hello, how may I help you""? Wow! But this is only one example of my experiences with their service. The meat department remains one of the most obnoxious places I visit in my shopping experiences. Rolling of the eyes, yelling at their customers like we are cattle and then being less than helpful when asked to cut meat, etc. I will continue to look for an alternate place that leaves me feeling better about my experience after I leave. more
