I use to shop at Fairway on the Upper West Side all the time until I worked for a small business that supply baked goods to Fairway. My company stopped doing business with Fairway after months of agonizing phone calls for unpaid bills. No one wanted to take responsibility and they just kept giving us the run around. One response my boss got was ""good luck seeing that money, you know how many people are waiting to do business with us."" That pretty much summarizes the attitude we got from everyone at the accounts payable department. Their complacency and the nasty attitudes make me think that it can only stem from the top. I have always like the selections of goods and value that Fairway offers but now I know that it comes with a ""price"". It is ugly behind the scenes as this giant bullies his way around.
