TOPS Friendly Markets

This is the strangest TOPS I’ve ever been to. It seems like a TOPS outlet. It’s small and the workers are unsure about what products they sell and where they would be if they had them. I came in here with the intention of getting balloons because I had looked everywhere and couldn’t find any latex ones. I inquired with a woman in the back about balloons and she told me they did latex ones and to go to the cash registers in the front to find assistance. When I got to the front, the two cashiers told me they didn’t sell balloons and they didn’t blow them up for customers. Bummed, I began to walk away and continue my shopping when a worker who overheard the conversation stopped me and told me they did in fact do balloons and told me they were in the balloon section. As if I knew where this balloon section was. Anyways, I finally found them and they did not have latex, only helium and they were outrageously priced at $ 4 a balloon. I decided to nix this idea and just continue my food shopping. Their prices were higher than Wegmans and produce not nearly as plentiful and fresh. Even when using a TOPS shopper’s card you were going to be spending much more money than you would if you had shopped at Target, Walmart or even Wegmans. It wasn’t worth it, so I ended up leaving empty handed. The parking lot is very small too, wasn’t a fan of this store.

I’d rather run into Tops than a gas station on Seneca St. The size is very small, but they still have a decent deli and produce section. For the small size, I think the beer section is well stocked. ;) It’s also attached to a Timmy’s and has a Redbox.
