According to a new survey from Consumer Reports that ranks 62 of the country's top grocery chains, these 16 are at the very bottom of the list.
We've flipped the list on its head, to rank the stores from the bottom up. So, in order from bad to worst, here are the stores that more than 50,000 respondents said they were least impressed with, and why - with some help from the wonderfully snarky and brutally honest reviewers on Yelp.com.

Look, it’s another grocery chain owned by Albertsons!
ACME’s worst marks from Consumer Reports readers are reserved for its prices. “Everything is grossly overpriced,” a Yelp reviewer writes.
The Northeastern grocery store bought dozens of A&P locations after that chain went bankrupt, and A&P shoppers say the stores have somehow gotten even worse.
“It’s like they tore the sign off of A&P, polished the floor, then opened it with worse prices,” one former A&P shopper writes. “A&P wasn’t that good, but ACME is a living nightmare,” adds another. “Somehow, ACME “found a way to make a mediocre grocery store aggressively bad,” a third shopper agrees.
“A&P kinda sucked here,” one reviewer concludes, “and ACME has taken that suck to a higher level of suck.”
So tell us how you really feel.
