Pathetic losers
June 5, 2024

I am sick of Hy-Vee adds every 5 minutes on every channel. They are so pathetic! I. Can't believe people buy into their. Bogus adds - like 40 cents off per gallon of gas on $60. Why not give 60 cents off $60. That's at least 10% off. I wish people would stop buying their bull$#*! and get better meat for less at Sam's.

Terrible business
September 9, 2023

My wife purchased 2-5 oz steaks was charged for 8 oz steaks. When I went to the service desk they told me because she paid with a check they couldn't refund the money. So it cost me an extra trip to the store at $4+ a gallon plus 30 minutes of time to come away with no meat and flipping gift card! I'd recommend any grocery store over HyVee! They screw up more often than they don't and their customer service policies are the absolute worst!

Perks is a joke
November 2, 2023

I switched my card over to perks and I've used it 3 times and I've never received the perks prices yet. Twice I've used self checkout and have had to call management over to help me. Also the smiles in every isle is a joke. There are only a couple of people that have ever spoken to me and greeted me in the early morning. To be employee owned, employees don't seem to care.

I have shopped at Hyvee off Langsford rd for a decade. The manager that works customer service could care less about customers. She is always rude if I drop off cleaning like it is an inconvenience.
I always have to watch advertised specials as 9 times out of 10 they have to correct the price or they tell you that you have to buy 3-5 of any said item to get their sale price…I will be taking my $200 a week grocery bill to Price Chopper. Enough is enough!

False advertising
September 25, 2023

My husband and I used this Hyvee restaurant for the first time (Algona, Iowa). We were not impressed. Tbh, I've never been impressed with the cleanliness of any of the old restaurants (Humboldt, Iowa), but we were appalled at this one.
We expected the possibility of the usual dead flies on the window sills, crumbs under every table, but there was a sign on the table that really took the biscuit! (See picture for reference) The sign and the napkin holder was disgusting!
You guessed it, we won't be returning!
Btw is it not law to have trash can lids in use in food establishments?

Not cleaned since covid?

Veterans Day!
November 11, 2023

Hy-Vee in Springfield Missouri held a veterans Day breakfast and I have to say I do commend the staff and corporate for their generosity they showed to the veterans and their families. More places should take notice of how to show appreciation to all the people who keep them secure and safe. Thanks Hy-Vee. Good Job!

1. Still looking for price per ounce to compare prices. Asked abouth this when they first opened here. And lots of shelves didn't even have price stickers. 2. Coupons can be worthless when item is no where to be seen. Friday night and half of on sale produce items where no where and no one was working the department. 3. Loved it when checkout person threw the apples down the ramp; put everything in one too heavy bag with the taco chips; and didn't care if items where in bag upsidedown- good thing nothing leaked. 4. Good thing the sea food counter was being emptied - they must not notice the old fish smell.
Glad I have my choice of other stores to buy from

Deals never work
November 8, 2022

I tried multiple times to get the sale price that is advertised. I tried in store and online. But every time, it's a disappointment because the price advertised is never applied. At the store, I could ask and once in a while someone would apply the promotion manually. Online, the item says it's on sale but the full price is charged.
It is such a waste of time to go through the Hyvee advertisements.

Price gouging
November 20, 2022

I went to my local Raytown, Mo HyVee to buy the Kraft Roka Bleu Cheese spread. The English and the Pineapple spreads are $4.49 a jar but they have the price for Roka at $6.69 a jar! There are a lot of HyVee stores from here to California and they are selling the Roka for $4.49. So what's up with that? Price gouging!

Crappy food
April 27, 2024

Tried the Hy Vee dinners and everything sucked. The green beans were dry and tasteless and weren't cooked. I found a piece of stem I almost choked on. My mom tried the meatloaf. That was overcooked and very dry. The meatloaf had no taste and lacked seasonings and flavor. The mac and cheese was also tasteless. It was too chewey and undercooked no seasonings also flat. The kitchen manager complained and yelled at the employee in front the customers. She was no respect and no manners for anyone. To the whole store, it was quantity over quality. That is why the employees don't stay at Hy Vee. The cashiers are robots. They do not say hi how are you at all and make it friendly. They pass your groceries by and how much and then get the heck out of there. Helpful smile in every aisle my $#*!. The personality of the managers, cashiers, and employees with the attutude of a $#*!ING CARDBOARD BOX!

Creepy stalking and a "police/law enforcement" person standing at the front acting big but doing geo tracking and stalking and surveilling IN the store when people visit is a disgusting practice Systematically and procedurally calling it "risk or loss management" is shady and surveillance capitalism and not something customers should deal with or have to see when at your store(s).

You don't even fully disclose the practice of sharing, surveillance, what data you are using, video and taxpayer funded systems you are implementing and what data you are sharing/brokering or integrating with.

This needs to end and taxpayers and customers deserve a better experience (in the name of public safety) and is shady and lots of money grabs.

Stalking customers is shady for any Illinois business and calling it "security" and loss control. Pathetic statement about your organiation/stores and operation.

Daily Deals
August 18, 2022

I really like my Hyvee store but one thing that I don't like is the daily deals are always out of stock completely and this generally happens early morning and does not allow for other people's schedules that cannot get there right away. A lot people around me complain about this and refuse to go to Hyvee for deals because there is none left especially if you work or have a 3rd shift job and don't get up til late morning. Just seems that the daily deals should be stocked throughout the day so that everyone can at least have a chance at the deal especially with the high cost of food these days and for those who are loyal Hyvee shoppers that just can't get to the store in the morning. Hope someone from Hyvee reads this review so that maybe a change can be made to make daily deals available for all their customers. Otherwise, me personally I love shopping at my local Belton, MO Hyvee and appreciate the great customer service.

Watch what you buy
January 26, 2022

Seasoned pork chops to salty to eat. Discounted bakery item charged full price. 10# riblets were frozen pork scraps. BS at customer service saying riblets are like that in Iowa. Don't believe that's true. Just junk meat. Better to shop at CUB - not saying much for HyVee.

Declining
April 16, 2023

Not only is Hy Vee the highest priced store for groceries, the no longer are honoring the price of out of stock items for the substituted item. In most cases the price is higher for the subbed item.
Being closer than other stores is not incentive to continue to shop at Hy Vee. I'll drive a little further to deal with a more reputable store.

Watch your receipt.
February 21, 2020

Every given week you can go and purchase things that are on sale and get charged full price. The meat there says HyVee Reserve which is the exact same as select. It's the worst kind of meat you can buy. The 3 grades of meat are select, choice and Prime. But they charge Choice prices. Not to mention if you go in there after work at seven 8 at night they're all sold out of everything that's on sale. Terrible inventory!

Hyvee at this location has issues from the front door to the parking lot. They have two walkways but Hyvee is constantly parking their catering and floral trucks between these crosswalks. I brought this to the attention of the store manager. At first the store manager acted as though Safety was a major priority. But then came the excuses. He said he instructed his delivery folks to park 20 feet from the entrances. The very next day they parked an 18 wheeler tractor trailer between the two entrances on the SIDEWALK. Both ends of this trailer were within 2 feet of each entrance. I took a picture of it and emailed it to the store manager. This is where I found out that customer safety is not so much of a priority. The excuse I got from him was... "The trailer is a promotion of their seafood and it will be moved after the weekend" - This told me that promoting their seafood special was more important than the customer's safety. Notice the white Jeep in the picture I provided. The driver's view of that exit is totally blocked by the trailer. If a customer is injured due to this neglect I will be sure to provide the plaintiff and their lawyer with pictures and emails. Maybe a lawsuit will be a wakeup call because my warnings are not being taken seriously.
