Acme Markets

A busy Saturday afternoon and they have 3 cashiers working. There should be 7 cashiers working so not 1 person has to wait. The prices here have gotten rediculous too. Chicken, beef and seafood department is a joke. Ill go to wegmans or fresh market with the crowds to get better quality and a better price. Acme/​American store as my grand mom used to say, is way behind the times in there own market.

The only time I ever shop here is when I need a single item. I always regret it. Always. Paying these prices hurts my soul.

I live right down the street from this Acme, and it says something when I drive 10 mins away to another food store.
Even if I just rush in for a gallon of milk I’m often treated horrible by any staff member. Whether it be them in the way stocking, or a rude cashier I can’t catch a break!
Also I noticed prices at all Acmes have been on the rise. Even with my store card I’m paying more then I intend to.
But they have a coinstar.

High prices, bad seafood and meat, unfriendly customer service.

Used to live sounds here. Food is good but the prices aren’t the best. This goes for all the stores in the chain though. The meats are a loot fresher than Walmart

I live right around the corner and stop here often to pick odds and ends up. But I am careful what I buy. They often have unannounced produce sales with items marked down to $ 1 for a day or two. I get some great deals, Fresh rolls are always good. Seafood is fresh and reasonably priced. Meat — it can be waaaay too expensive, same with lunch meat and cheese at the deli counter. Who wants to pay $ 8/​pound for domestic generic boiled ham? Who wants to pay $ 5 –6/​pound for regular American cheese? So, be careful what you buy, but you can also get some good deals.

I live right around the corner from this location. While they are a bit expensive compared to other supermarkets, they always seem to have what I need when I need it. I was on a hunt for Cilantro and Acme was the last place I was going to. I had been to a few other produce joints, but they ran out. I can NOT make fresh salsa with out cilantro. No way, now how. So I ended up at Acme & they had 3 lovely bunches. Just $ 1.29. I also picked up some tomatillos!
I don’t make it a point to do my regular food shopping here, but when I need to run to the store after running out of something or need a last minute item, Acme is there to meet my needs.

I’ve been loyal to Acme my entire life, which is over 50 years. But, I gotta tell you my loyalty is being challenged because shopping at Acme — and maybe it’s THIS Acme — is really wearing me down. I used to admire Acme for their meats, their signature Lancaster Brand. I am no longer a loyal meat-​buyer at Acme, as I find their products to be sub-​par. The chicken is virtually tastless and when it does impart taste, it’s not good. The beef is also flavorless and often tough. I now purchase my meat elsewhere, but continue to buy grocery items at Acme. Their 10-​for-​10 values are sometimes good (and you don’t have to buy 10 to get that price), but they’re often out of those products. The prepared food selections are a joke. And, who doesn’t love standing at a deli counter where there are 5 people behind the counter, not working mind you but talking to one another, while only one is waiting on customers, regardless of how many customers are standing their with their «number» waiting to be called. There isn’t even an acknowledgement that you’re standing there. There is never enough shopping carts inside the store, and I now know that I have to grab one in the parking lot before entering. I do like the fact they now have a Liquor Store inside the store (even if the choices are meager), and they do a pretty nice job of opening additional check out lanes when the store gets crowded, which these days is rare. I’ve afraid by beloved Acme is going down the tubes, as many of my friends and neighbors are now Giant and Wegman devotees. Acme, get your act together before you lose me too!
