Customers appreciate the helpful staff, especially in emergencies, like when a family member's car broke down in cold weather, and the staff offered support and kindness. However, some shoppers have concerns about product freshness and availability, such as moldy raspberries, old lettuce, and unavailable root vegetables like yucca, despite being willing to buy them. The store has a long history in the area, dating back to 1999 when it was a Jubilee, though recent experiences vary. Overall, it plays an important role in the community.
