Grosser grocer (customer experience, food)
by at 4:39 PM
So because of the whole mouse thing I decided to try out other local grocery stores. The top contender was Precita Food Mart which is actually slightly closer to my home than Safeway. So today I went there, and found out that Yelp has a very strange idea of what a grocery store is. This was more of a convenience store, with just two lonely aisles of overpriced canned food, beer, and wine. There was also a freezer case with some old ice cream and a basket of overripe bananas. (As it turns out, there are two Yelp listings for it for some reason; the other one, which I wouldn't have found with my search for "groceries," is much more accurate.)
The other local contender is 26th and Guerrero Market, which is a little bit of a schlep, but the reviews are much more promising, although they still say it's not suitable for "major grocery shopping." So, it's still not a Safeway replacement.
Since I have my sister's car for the next few months, today I went to Trader Joe's again (since it's right next to Bed Bath & Beyond, which I wanted to buy a few things from), and was quickly reminded of how much I hate that place.
I guess I'll just stick to Safeway... but I'll just make my own bread from now on. It's not THAT hard.

Plus, their produce is way overpriced (at least at the one near work).
Also getting there is a chore.
