KingSoopers

I have dealt with King Soopers for decades and can say that I have experienced the good, bad and indifferent over the years. Though it has evolved into a different store over time, it is still a formidable centerpiece of the community. Not only a great place to shop with the best prices around (Safeway, Albertson's and otherwise might need to offer some of the same deals), great customer service and pretty clean and organized stores. Though there are some items I would like to address.

Why does it seem that the specialty foods section is non existent these days? Where I shop, real deli and specialty items are not what they used to be. They offered more variety, as opposed to the generalized items being sold now. Also, if they lowered their prices on produce, then more people would buy that and be healthier. Would like to see a better selection in luncheon meats. There is only one kind of pastrami! Would like to see more choices. If some incentives, real incentives, were placed either at a particular store or company, that would also increase their patronage.

Also, am glad that they employee union workers. They do a great job and are worth every penny! The management is usually pretty decent too.

The Text message system SUCKS. I decided to swith to text messaging several months ago and since doing so I have NEVER recieved text notification when Any of my prescriptions were filled consequently. I ran out of a prescription THAT IMPORTANT TO MY health. I realized I didn't have any more of this particular med and was told it had been filled 9 days prior. I told the person on the phone that I would be in to pick it up along with a couple others that I had added to the list through the pharmacy website. So I got in the next day and all but the one I was completely out of was filled. Apparently there was a communication Problem and Someone had put that one back already or between the time I called and when I was able to get there. I should have checked to make sure it was there and didn't. I thought since I had conversed with someone Whom I THOUGH knew what they were doing and would make sure the script was either refilled or stayed there. I guess that is too much to ask of this pharmacy..
