According to the latest survey from Consumer Reports, which ranks 96 of the country's grocery chains, these ten are at the very bottom of the list.
Consumer Reports ranks them from best to worst, 1 to 96. This list flips it all upside down, ranking them from bad to really, really bad - from the tenth worst store on the list, to the #1 worst store of them all.
So, in order from bad to worst, here are the stores that more than 75,000 respondents told Consumer Reports they liked the least - with some supplementary caustic, critical comments from shoppers who've visited the online review site Yelp.com to tell us what they really think.
The good news – Key Food is making its very first appearance on Consumer Reports’ newly-expanded list of the best grocery stores in the country! The bad news – it came in dead last out of 96 chains.
Consumer Reports readers gave the Northeastern chain middling marks for speed of checkout, and poor ratings on just about everything else. But to find out what shoppers really think, all it takes is a visit to Yelp:
“The store smells like decades of misery and despair.”
“Only go here if there’s an apocalypse and no other choices.”
“I usually end up there out of desperation and regret it.”
“I can’t stress enough how bad the store is. I am begging for them to close.”
Well, tell us how you really feel! Unless Key Food undergoes a major transformation, its first appearance on the list of the country’s worst grocery stores may not be its last.
