Pick’n Save Food Stores

If you can avoid this place, you probably should.

This place reminds me of the burned-​out, abandoned shopping centers I’ve explored many a time while playing Fallout 3. I half expect gangs of roving bandits to attack me from above the massive shelving units while trying to protect their cans of beans, Nuka-​Cola, and such. I know, you’re thinking «that is a video game, that could not possibly hap…» *pipe bomb whizzes past head** «SEE I AM NOT JOKING!»
In case you needed more reasons to avoid this place:
–It’s massive without really having a great selection of items.
–Unfortunately I have been here more times than I can count, and yet have never seen more than two registers open at a time.
–The only produce I’ve ever purchased here that wasn’t either terrible looking or expired was a bag of limes.
–Like to wait an interminably long amount of time to check out? Go here!
Summary? Avoid at all costs. I would rather ride to the Miller Park Pick n’ Save in a rusty wagon (with a broken wheel) pulled by the four horsemen of the apocalypse than shop here again.

The worst grocery store I have ever been in, which as an Eastern European, is saying a lot. The produce is somehow simultaneously overpriced and expired, the floor was last mopped in 1992, and the service is disgustingly awful. Waiting 15 – 30 minute in line is not uncommon, and apparently it has never occurred to management to have more than one cashier working during rush times. I once stood in line for ten minutes waiting for a cashier to finish flirting with a coworker, before leaving all of my stuff on the conveyor and walking out. It’s also pretty unsafe, and I’d caution anyone considering going shopping here alone. I’m not exaggerating either, a couple months ago a strung out man once tried to get in my car with me. I live super close to this pick n save, but I’d rather drive down to Greenfield, because that somehow saves me both time and agitation (and significantly lowers my chances of being abducted).

Pick-​n-​Save, how can you still be in operation?
This is the 7^th dump-​hole I’ve been to and you never fail to not meet my very low expectations for your brand.
Bad produce (e.g., moldy tomatoes) and over priced… pretty standard for Roundy’s.
I really think that the only thing you can count on at PNS is great people watching and kids screaming and running around and their parents yelling at them from across the store, but walking slowly towards them.
It’s so frustrating that I don’t live closer to Woodman’s.

One star says it all. Awful. The only things I trust here are boxed or household cleaners. I live very close and drive across town to shop at Metro Market.

Once upon a time there was a Pick’n Save close to my work. It sucks. The End.

Here’s a place to do your grocery shopping if you have low self-​esteem, like to waste your time, and like to buy aged produce and products beyond their expiration dates. Lines are generally long, the selections and offerings are limited, labeling and pricing is misleading and inaccurate, employees are clearly poorly treated (supervisors will chastise employees in front of customers, and the resulting low morale is painfully obvious), the produce is often not fresh and sometimes, not very clean. If you’re here an hour or so, and you will be even for just a few items as service is excruciatingly slow, you’ll be entertained by the employees over-​reacting to a shoplifter, which manages to slow service down even below it’s usual glacial rate. If you’re middle aged, they’ll demand identification for a bottle of wine, in a manner reminiscent of Soviet officials in the 1970s, but somehow the neighborhood teenagers all score their liquor here.
It’s my neighborhood supermarket, and I used to go here for items I couldn’t find at the far superior Supermarket El Rey, but my last trip will be my last trip. I had to get Swiffer Sweeper Drycloths, which the trusty Supermarket El Rey regrettably doesn’t stock, as I’ve forgotten how to use a traditional broom. The inaccurately named «express check out» was 14 shoppers deep. I read an entire fictitious article about Angelina Jolie and memorized a Rachel Ray recipe before being able to check out. I got charged the higher price because my Pick’n Save card «expired,» the surly cashier suggested I get an updated Roundy’s customer card at the service desk, which had a line of 6 people. I could have spent the same amount of time driving 15 minutes to the nearest Woodman’s in Oak Creek, which is what I will do from now on.
