Schnucks

Worst place ever. Don’t go here. I worked at this hell hole for 6 months. They don’t give a fuck about anyone, the environment is depressing, and it’s run by the worst management in Missouri! I got in trouble and cussed out because I called in sick which the policy is don’t show up if you’re sick. Bullshit! So I quit and have been happier ever since. This store is surrounded by homeless people and drunk drug fiends so avoid this place after 8pm. After I quit 6 more people followed my advice and left as well. It’s terrible don’t go here. Save your self from this piece of shit and go to the Loughborough Commons Schnucks. That Schnucks is a million times better, has class, and is just a great environment. Don’t go here at all. It’s a waste of time and horrible service.

This is the WORST Schnucks in the South City area. Here is why you should go a little farther to the Hampton Village Schnucks instead.
Upon entering the employees will heckle you if you don’t make a right and go through their marketing trap of walking through the entire store to find things. If you try to go left and walk past the customer service center or through the self checkouts be prepared for someone to stop you and tell you to enter the other direction. If you refuse they become extremely rude. I wasn’t aware there was a traffic policy at the grocery store.
The employees are downright rude and in a bad mood all of the time. Its the kind of place you can tell everyone hates working there. This morning they had the self checkout lanes open and the machines were on and said Lane Open. I started scanning my items and a blonde lady immediately came over and said «You can’t check out here you have to wait in line», when I told her that they shouldn’t open the machines if we aren’t supposed to use them I received a rude «all customers know those aren’t open until 7am». So at 6:15am I waited in line for two items, for 20 minutes. All the while the self checkout machines were ready to go, they just didn’t have an employee to stand there and supervise.
The meat is often expired before they put the 25% off tags on it, and make sure you keep a close eye on the milk and bread dates — they are never very fresh.
The store is always dirty, looks like it is right out of the late 80’s (looks just like the Waterloo IL store used to 20 years ago), the freezers are always breaking down and leaking. One night I went in there and they actually had the entire section roped off so no customers could go through it. You had to tell an employee what you wanted and where it was and they would go fetch it for you. Except they couldn’t find the simplest of three items I needed.
After this morning I will never go to this location again. We’ll take our $ 4,000/year business to the Hampton Village location, where they keep it clean and know how to properly treat customers.

MEH. I am not the biggest fan of Schnucks anyway. But this one didn’t strike my fancy at all. I went in bec it was on my way home. It could really use a refresh on the inside and probably a decent cleaning too. What struck me the most annoying was the employees. No one was helpful, no one was friendly and no one made eye contact with me! Not even the checker.
Its a grocery store and they did have plenty in stock. So there is a plus!
But I would only go back to this location if it was über convenient.

What can I say, its a grocery store. Service in different locations vary widely!

I’d rather go to the Post office sober than go to the Schnuck’s on Chippewa and Hampton. Luckily today the grocery Gods were smiling on me, for they led me to the most amazing Schnuck’s of all time.
At first I didn’t know it was a Schnuck’s. So many elderly people were hobbling around the parking lot that I thought I accidentally pulled into a Bingo hall or something. But nope. Schnuck’s. Maybe I just happened to go when the bus from Shady Pines had dropped a load of ‘em off, but seriously, wow. I was the youngest person in there by at least a century.
This place is smaller than a normal Schnuck’s, so I got in and out super quickly, despite getting caught behind a few slow pokes with walkers. Not only was I in and out, but not one, not two, but THREE employees offered to help me. No, not offered. Like, fell all over themselves to help me. AND there were multiple checkout lanes with no line AT ALL. Seriously, I think Schnuck’s may have been shooting an employee training video there today, because it was almost too perfect. It may have also been the first time I’ve ever seen a Schnuck’s employee smile…
Damn I love this Schnuck’s. On an unrelated note, I may be joining a shuffleboard team.

Not one of my favorite places to shop but good if I need to run in and out really quick. I have to say the south part of the store where the produce section, deli, baked goods is massive and easy to navigate. It is the north end of the store where I have a problem. Walking through the liquor/​soda section is almost like walking around a maze. The area is very narrow to get around and just seems uncomfortable if there is more than two people in the aisle, (or one person with a cart).
I’m not sure why but it seems like everyone wants to congregate at the end of the rows to chat with someone they ran into at the store which makes moving from aisle to aisle also a bit of a hassle. Coming from the Arsenal store all the time this place definitely is different in layout and where things are located. I’m definitely out of my element when I shop here but if I just need to stop in for something quick after going to Target it works in a pinch.

Schnucks is one of the oldest grocery stores in St. Louis. This location appears to have been there for quite sometime, but has been kept up to date well. The parking lot is kind of small though, especially when busy on the weekends. Most staff is friendly. Make sure to bring your coupons.
