Stop & Shop is a neighborhood grocer with a long history. Customers note that food prices nationwide are high and continually rise and fall, and that meat, chicken, and seafood prices are crazy. However, coupons and the weekly flyer help very much. The store is described as always clean and well stocked. The front end crew are polite and helpful, and specific associates are noted for being vigilant and quick to respond to issues at self-checkout, assisting promptly with problems and coupons. While some find self-checkout acceptable, especially with ready assistance, others note that BOGO items get raised or lowered as a gimmick. Overall, it is viewed as a business where the economic situation is the same all over the country.
