Giant Eagles North Olmsted location replaced the self checkout lanes with a new totally ridicules design!
After you scan the groceries you have to put it in a bag because there is no were else for it to go. This slows down the progress and slows down the line! I usually do the scanning and my wife bags. The new set up may be fine for a few groceries but when your buying 300.00 worth is not a great ideal, There is no flow. There are few regular check out lines but the lines were backed up down by the grocery shelves blocking other people from shopping. What a terrific ideal! In spite of the customers doing all the work the prices are not any better. In fact there produce is the worst I have ever seen. Most of the fruit is either nor ripe, soft or bruised! There is stuff that is pre-bagged always more then you want to buy. Some of the stuff in the bags is already bad 80% of the time. I am tired of getting home and having to throw out part of my purchase. There was a very small selection of plumb that were all bad in the bags and the loose ones were bruised and soft also. Giant Eagles buyers need to get up earlier to buy better stuff? If your buying apples sometimes your okay, but you have to be careful because there bruised also especially Granny Smith. In general the produce department is the worst department in the whole store. People just get complacent and tolerate it. There are discount places near by that actually have better stuff and prices.
