Bashas Market

After driving 35 miles from my home the other day to buy some fresh salmon they had advertised on sale, I was informed they didn’t have any and apparently hadn’t received any for a while. This is not the first time I’ve gone to this store and ended up with a rain-​check instead of the meat that I wanted to buy nor is it the first time they’ve been out of salmon when it was advertised on sale. Several employees have told me that the meat manager never orders sale product and I have every reason to believe it. They’ve advertised bacon, lobster tails, ribs and roasts and not even had one package to sell me when I showed up — no substitutes offered either! So I’m beginning to wonder why someone doesn’t teach this manager how to order product that the company advertises? Why doesn’t someone teach this manager that they’re not allowed to «bait» customers with an ad, then «switch» those customers to something pricier, because they never had the original product in stock? Why is this person still employed as a manager in the meat department? Perhaps their last name is Basha? The store manager has to know that this person’s incompetency is dragging down the reputation of the entire market. All the other departments always have their sale product front and center on the shelves. Stay away from this place when they advertise specials on meat, because most of the time the only «special» you’re going to get is a rain-​check and disappointment that the «sale» merchandise was never ordered to begin with. You’ll be better off going to the IGA in Snowflake. At least you’ll then have something to eat when you get home!

I really just popped by for a few Gatorade’s at this Bashas. They close at 9 pm on a Friday. But this is Taylor, Arizona after all. I was able to grab my drinks for $ 1 each using my Bashas card. The store seemed clean and well put together. I’m not sure if this is the only grocery store in town, but it should have everything one needs here. It was too late to check out the deli.

Large grocery store with good selection, fresh bakery, flower shop, big produce department, deli-​not so fresh, better earlier in the day I’m sure.
