Super Stop & Shop

I’m really this like this supermarket. They are the worst with their produce. I’ve never gotten anything ripe enough for consumption. Even their packaged merchandise is a little stale. I even got sick from their cut fruits (pineapple or watermelon) their hummus went bad quicker than usual and their bagged spinach should have went straight in the trash.

I live a short 5 minute walk from this stop & shop, however I often find that it would have been just as quick to go to the Trader Joes on court street (20 min subway ride). Yup sometimes it takes that long. just a few weeks ago I spent 55 minutes waiting to check out, with only 6 people ahead of me. Eeeek.
Where’s the self check out?!
This is the only stop & shop I’ve even shopped in with no self checkout.
on the plus side, prices are affordable and there is a large Mexican and Caribbean section.
certain things are always on sale for some reason, like the blocks of NY cheddar by the deli.

As some have mentioned the people who shop here are frequently terrible human beings. The first time I came I saw a customer attack a cashier because she wouldn’t accept her expired coupon. I know this sounds like an exaggeration but she started screaming and went around the belt to the register and threw punches as the manager held her back. I felt terrible for the cashier as she handled herself professionally but some people don’t know how to act around civilized people. Since then I’ve seen people outright steal, eat foot they hadn’t paid for yet and then put down the empty package, and take toys from the packing and give them to their kids then hide the empty packaging. Despite all the issues the prices are great and they frequently have awesome sales. It’s definitely a love hate relationship for me and reminds me of white trash Walmart. Lines are frequently an issue which seems to be half slow baggers and half slow shoppers.

I’m giving this Stop and Shop location three stars. Why? Their prices are actually pretty good. When you come during a week day when it’s not busy, it’s actually pleasant and you are able to go in and out quickly.
Before Stop and Shop bought a couple of stores from A&P (Pathmark and Waldbaums parent company), their items were a bit cheaper. I expected the price of them to go up, but the hike wasn’t very bad.
The only downside are the long lines at this store. The lines here are so long… for absolutely no reason. The cashiers working here do work as quickly as possible, but they really need to expand the check out section. There are too many people waiting in lines that span down to the end of the aisle. There’s no reason it should be that way. I’ve been shopping here for years as well.
The only reason I come here is because although it’s a 25 minute walk from my house, I like the fact that I can walk her and pick up anything I need. I just hate the lines.
I was charged about a dollar extra for two items I purchased. I knew my total sounded wrong so I did go to Customer Service, which has the longest line ever! There’s only one woman working there and she has to play the lottery, write rain checks, sign people up for the rewards program, give bottle refunds, and refund items to the customer. She also checks people out who want to purchase there instead of waiting on line. I think the store needs more than one person (about five maximum) to do all of that.
Now, this is the only store that sells the new Fage total mango yogurt. I walk here just to purchase that and they were almost out. I like Stop and Shop, and they have some of the best prices but this store’s slowness is a turn off!

Even though I live almost right in between the two stores, I haven’t gotten out to the one on Ave Y, so I can’t compare that to this one, but in and of itself, II have no problems with this store and really appreciate the large variety of stock they carry.
My God, Unilocalers love to whine… Yes, there are lines. Welcome to NYC, home of 8 million people and Brooklyn, its most populous borough! If y’all hadn’t noticed, there are lines at most stores larger than a corner bodega. If you think this place is bad, you’ve obviously never shopped (or I should say, tried to shop, at the Staples on the corner of Flatbush & Tilden…) Like most people who work for a living, I usually go in the evenings and on weekends, but somehow generally manage to find a line that isn’t horrendous and that moves at a normal pace. Maybe I’m just gifted?
I also find most of the cashiers relatively friendly (certainly not «unfriendly»), indeed, nicer/​friendlier than many other supermarkets I shop at. (And since I live near the Kings Hwy stop on the B/​Q, where there is absolutely nada/​zip/​zilch for actual «supermarkets» within true walking-​distance, I get around to other neighborhoods *a lot*.) And I find the personnel on the floor very helpful, somewhat surprisingly so, actually, for NYC supermarket employees, whom (except for Trader Joe’s of course) I usually find to have honed their ability to passively-​aggressively misdirect one to a razor-​sharp edge… Nor I do find my fellow shoppers any worse than elsewhere (and actually much easier to deal with than the latest wave of residents on the Upper West Side, where I lived for more than 20 years before moving back out to my «old neighborhood» in Brooklyn.) Reading some of the other reviews makes me wonder whether I, or maybe the other reviewers, exist in some sort of parallel Bizarre-​O world…
I will say the produce, like that at most chain supermarkets, tends to be expensive. But then I rarely buy produce in any supermarkets, much preferring the less expensive greengrocers that abound in Brooklyn (and for that matter Queens.) I usually stop at the Church Ave produce stores on my way to the subway (or the ones in my own neighborhood), so that actually works out pretty well. They do carry a good selection of greens, and also a decent selection of organic produce, for what that’s worth. (Personally, I appreciate the former and don’t care about the latter) The fruit, on the other hand, is almost uniformly avoidable on a price-​for-​quality basis.
Their regular prices aren’t bad, certainly no worse than other chains in the city (and like almost every other stores’, much better, for example, than the obnoxiously overpriced Food Emporiums we are for the most part spared in Brooklyn, unlike Manhattan.) Their sales are quite good. By later evening, they not infrequently run out of the more popular on-​sale meat items that have to be restocked daily. But I can’t really fault them for that, however annoying it can be, since I do mostly shop there evenings,. But on the whole, they’re well-​stocked throughout the entire week/​sales period which is a nice change from some other stores…

The store itself is decent — clean, well stocked, huge variety.
The people that shop at the store are pretty much the worst types of humans on the planet. Sometimes, I think I rather hang out at the DMV than navigate this place. Everyone shopping here acts super entitled. They will push you with their baskets and carts, attempt to cut you in line, and do absolutely nothing to control their five (or more) screaming, out of control children. As an added plus, once these repugnant creatures actually get to the register, they then like to argue the price of EVERYTHING with the cashier, or suddenly remember they need whole milk and eggs and run back to get it, having absolutely no qualms about holding up the entire line of people behind them.
Due to these types of customers, I really dread coming here. As others mentioned, try shopping here only during the morning hours and never, ever attempt this circus during the evenings and weekends.

I come to this supermarket because it’s convenient, and they really do have some good sales week to week. The best time to come is early in the morning when they first open. If you come like late afternoon or early evening, it’s a nightmare. Long, Long, Long, Long lines. The worst is the so called «Express» lines where you only supposed to have 12 items or less. For some reasons those lines just drag. To be fair, most of the time it’s not the cashier’s fault. You have some customers who try to get over and get on that line with 20 – 30 items rather than 12. Sometimes the cashiers reject them, but most of the time they take them I guess to avoid an argument. You also have some people who stand and argue over the price of every single item because they looked at the sale wrong or picked up the wrong item, or people who don’t know how to swipe their WIC/​Debit card and have to keep doing it over. If you have 5 items or less you can purchase it at customer service, but that line just as slow so you sometimes have to choose between the lesser of the two evils.

Memorial Day. Schools closed most ppl off of work and stop and shop have the nerve to close registers! But hey just a normal day here… It’s like they don’t expect the crowd or more like they don’t wanna hire more workers… Smh.

I like this supermarket for what it is. It has a vast caribbean aisle which is hard to come by outside of areas like flatbush, crown heights, or canarsie so that is a plus for me since I buy a lot of jamaican and trinidadian products. Besides that, there are also great sales during the week, fresh fruit and vegetables, plus even a vegan section. They pretty much have everything one would need. My one and only gripe with this place is the lack of customer service. Everyone is miserable, rude, or unhelpful. I know how to navigate this place so I don’t need much help but it does f up the whole mood of the store. Also, the express lines are horrible because they move too damn slow. I prefer Target for my shopping but this place is literally a few blocks away.

Great place to stock up as they often have pretty good sales. If you go at the wrong time of day, expect long lines bad many unhappy customers.

I really like this place. They have great hours (6AM-​11PM) and they have a TON of stuff, including new products (something that C-​Town has failed at). The lines can be crazy after 5 on weekdays. They do need floor people, bc it’s hard to find someone to help you in there, but over all, it’s a nice store. Make sure you get the Stop &Shop card because it DOES save you money. My only issue is that they don’t deliver, which is inconvenient.

It’s not the best Stop and Shop but it gets the job done. The lines can be long at times. But they have a fish market, bakery and you can get oxtail from time to time. It has gotten a little better since they have a new manager. He used to be at my favorite Stop and Shop on Union Turnpike. What I really like it that they cater to the Caribbean community and I can buy some of my cultural produce and spices.

Great selection. Huge grocery store. Finally found one that meets all of our needs and is fairly inexpensive. We will definitely be coming here for our weekly grocery needs.

This is a great place to get staples and stock up on goods. For the most part, the staff is friendly and helpful. However, you will find more people behind registers than you will on the floor. You can always find help at the customer service kiosk located at the front of the store.
I like being able to return bottles; especially after a big party. That deposit is yours, so get back what you can, if you have time.
Now that the neighborhood’s demographic is changing (there were already products to accommodate the Caribbean, Latin and Jewish population) you’ll see more hipster friendly products.
DO NOT GO right before a major holiday; you will be there forever. Go during non-​peak hours, and early in weekdays.

This store has a parking lot on the roof. How cool is that. I love coming here because it’s right beside my gym. I come here at least once a week. Always well stocked and pretty clean. There seems to always be a strange smell at the front door when you walk in but if you can get past that it’s a great little neighborhood grocery store. And there are two redbox machines in here. Awesome.

I hate this place. Granted some of the items here are really cheap and they always have good sales but it’s so damn ghetto. Cashiers don’t speak when you say hi then one heifer bagged my heavier items with one bag and my box of Little Debbie cakes double bagged. I ended up dropping my olive oil and sliced my damn hand up you dunce. Had to go all the way back just to get another one. 40 damn minutes, waste of my life. I’ll stick to the Pathmark up the street from my house. That’s a more controlled ghetto.

It’s great to have a supermarket with such a huge selection of almost everything in the neighborhood that also offers pretty good deals with the stop & shop card. They have freshly baked goods, fresh meats and even amazing seafood like crab-​legs. The worst part is unfortunately paying for your groceries: The cashiers definitely take it easy on their jobs and it just takes forever. So only get your groceries there when you’re not in a rush.

Normally, I never have a problem when shopping here. Yes, the lines are always crowded. But they move pretty quickly. And yes, the cashiers here never greet me or smile when ringing up my purchases.
But today, the customer service was absolutely disgusting. As I’m waiting on the line for 15 minutes, with groans behind me echoing «What’s taking so long?,» that I finally looked up and noticed the cashier was talking and lollygagging with a customer (probably her gf), allowing her to swipe her food stamp card to pay for other people’s purchases in exchange for cash. How ghetto! I understand that people do this, but not to random customers on the cash out line and especially when it’s holding up the line.
Since the food stamps don’t cover non-​food items such as toilet paper, the cashier demanded the man to pay for his toilet paper. When the man did not respond, she put her hands in his face to get his attention. She made such a scene. How rude and embarrassing!
I was appalled that none of her fellow cashiers or front end supervisor said anything or intervened. I quickly took all my stuff and moved to the next line. If she treats that man like that, who knows how she would talk to me!
I only come here because it’s convenient but I don’t see myself returning to this Stop & Shop!

A lot of patrons might knock this place for it’s service but sometimes I thinks it’s the customers that that shope here which ruin the image of the store. This super market is one of the main providers in the East Flatbush community and they are always well-​stocked whenever I enter the store.
I usually don’t come in here to pick up more than 10 – 12 items but during the evenings and rush hour, you better be prepared to wait in line because it is always crowded. Besides when the store is performing major renovations and moving entire sections of produce and groceries, everything is on point.
The cashiers and staff do their utmost best to deal with the cast of characters that walk into the store at times and being in retail, I completely empathize with their daily frustrations. This supermarket gets my vote and I will definitely continue to support thier business, no matter how long I have to wait in line.

Be Prepared To Wait In Line… Use The Express Line With 12 Items Or Less… Store Is Pretty Decent, Best Time To Stop Is Usually LATE Evening. Sales Usually Start Every Friday… If You Are Similar With Both Giant (DC, DE, MD, VA) & Stop & Shop (CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, RI) You Can Use There Gift Cards At Both Stores Including There Peapod Service, Be Sure To Sign Up For There Store Card To Earn Gas Reward Points For Shell Gas
