#1 I usually shop at Market Basket simply because the price. I dont think stop and shop got the memo that they should stop using supply chain demands as an excuse for price gouging yet. #2 I primarily shop here for last Minute items as well as their deli. They have Prosciutto De Parma for $21.99 per lb which sounds insane just typing but D'agostinos charges $31.99 per lb! When one is indulging in an expensive deli meat one expects it to be handled properly. Woth prosciutto that means trimmed of the fat and sliced appropriately and shingled as its sliced thin and hard to separate. I have bow had the displeasure of rubbing into lets call her the lady with the big mouth and zero custom mer service skills. I asked her to trim and slice 3/4lb of prosciutto thats roughly $17 of deli meat. I could tell immediately by her behavior and attitude she already didnt want to do it. She shoukd have just asked for help. She grabbed what appeared to be last weeks leftovers and i asked if it had been trimmed. Her reply was we trimmed it last week. Well she proceeded to cut 1/8 Thick slices and piked them as if it was pastrami! It may sound petty but when yoir spending a premium on deli meat it should be handled appropriately. I immediately informed her that the slices were too think and she couldn't just put it in a mound. It needed t o be shingled and wax paper between each layer. Its not my rules it just proper deli etiquette. She proceeded to berate me and used fouls language. Those was in front of the deli manager who stepped in. But apparently of he did have a word with her it didnt stick because the next time i walked into the store and approached the deli she exclaimed "oh no, NOT THIS M F'ING Cracka again. she said i could go F myself and she wouldn't be helping me which to me was s relief however i was shocked her coworkers and manager allowed this behavior! I know times are tough finding good help but keeping bad help is worse than being busy. Im not going to Dags for $30/lb maybe go to Somerville stop n shop and try my luck. Avoid this store. They have inexpensive cashier and expect you to pay .10cents per paper bag on top of their over priced products. Peoper handling of this delicacy

Wide range of stocked goods and produce, along with pharmacy. Can and bottle return machines are outside on the middle East side of building.

Stop & Shop Arlington Yeegads. What a terrible store. I have been in multiple times and it's just baaad. Everyone, and I mean everyone, I've interacted with seems to hate their jobs. Not a single thank you to be found upon checkout, not a single smile from anyone, employee faces all scream misery and miserable and even the shopping bags suck. What kind of grocery store uses bags with no handles?? Good luck if you live nearby and just want to walk and pick up groceries, and even two bags of groceries become a hardship getting them into your home because there's no handles. This store just feels sad and tired. There's usually maybe two checkouts manned by actual humans (miserable humans, but humans) and I refuse to do self checkout bc I'm not being paid to ring up and bag groceries. The store has limited selections on many items and is expensive for what it is. I'd rather drive 12 minutes to Market Basket in Burlington and have a good shopping experience than drive 4 minutes to this Stop & Shop. I'll only go here if I'm tight on time and just need 1 or 2 things. Save yourself and go elsewhere if you can.

A decent store. I hope here when I don't have the time to go to Market Basket. I've had good experiences interacting with workers in their baked goods and deli departments. When I've asked for help in other departments, I've gotten help 50 to 70% of the time, which is decent. They have decent deals on fruits and vegetables sometimes. Their rotisserie chicken is pretty good.

The self checkout S&S uses is the worst I've ever seen. Artificial? Yes. Intelligent? No.If you breath on the baggage scale it requires the attendant's assistance, which takes too long considering he/she is doing nonstop laps to other self checkouts as well. Just hire some cashiers, this system sucks and makes me rue having to eat.

I shop good at stop and shop. I didn't have a stop and shop card. And they gave me a $14 discount.

Good mid-sized grocery store. Excellent produce, good selection of groceries. Decent sushi and a so-so selection of fried foods. Lots of ice cream, beverages, chips, meats. Bakery with the ability to custom write in a cake.

Lousy store. They just “remodeled” it and it’s worse than before. The front end people don’t know the meaning of customer service. Go anywhere else.

This is a depressive Stop and Shop for me. I try to avoid if I can. Weird layout, lightning is on the darker side but there is a Goodwill truck on the parking lot that accepts donations daily and it's next to a liquor store. Convenient for many Arlington residents.

This Stop and Shop is the worst of the worst!! I came in on Christmas eve around 12:30 for cream, well the woman employee was standing in front of the cooler just staring into space, i reached around her and she yelled “excuse me” I asked her why would you yell at a customer like that who just wanted to grab a cream and you were in the way. She embarrassed herself, the employees that this location hires have no idea what there doing. There prices are SKY HIGH!! Im an empty at WholeFoods in Cambridge and the prices at Stop and shop are higher with low quality. UPDATE YOUR STORE, TERMINATE THE INCOMPETENT EMPLOYEES, AND LOWER YOUR PRICES!!!Obviously im not the only one who has issues with this location!! Read your reviews!!! I will NEVER step foot in the Stop and shop again.

When did Stop & Shop get more expensive than Whole Foods..?? Holy Crap. And everything I picked up was expiring in 2 days. Also.. What's with 2 register open with a real person and 5 or 6 self checkout stations. If I have to scan, weigh and bag all of my own stuff I WANT A DISCOUNT. I'm doing all of your work and getting charged for it. This isn't going the right way here.
