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.

Consumer Reports readers don’t like the stores’ checkouts, and neither does Yelp. “The lines are the absolute worst,” a reviewer writes. “I only go here if I really have to,” another adds. “Like if I just want a gallon of milk. Or I don’t have time to drive to Market Basket.”
But it’s not just the checkout that’s bad. “My chief complaint is the entire store,” a reviewer summarizes.
A final reviewer isn’t even able to find the words: “I can’t. I just can’t.”
