I never use self-checkout. Stores install them so they can pay fewer employees, not for the convenience of shoppers.

Agree that they install them to cut labor costs (and keep lower prices) but disagree about not for the convenience of shoppers. The convenience comes in the shortening of the checkout process.

I fully expect your next post to be about corporate greed, keeping all the profits, etc.

Give their things a try.

About the same as Soriana.

BIG WARNING!!!! The floors are incredibly slippery.

The BIG WARNING now would be cracked tiles everywhere.

Just wondering what are the early comments on the new store vs. Soriano’s, Mega Bodega or Sam’s .
I know the markets have the best value for produce , meats etc but still wondering how this store compares ( price, selection and freshness).
Thanks

Not a Sam's member so can't speak to that.

Since we are here for 6 months of the year, we tend to cook and bake more at home.

Prices at Chedruai are similar to Soriana. Selection is better at Chedruai and the store is better organized. Unlike Soriana, there are plenty of cashiers at Chedruai.

Bodega Aurrera is cheaper, not fancy and my go-to store for stocking up on pantry items. Merza is the cheapest. It's aisles are narrow and crowded but I can usually find basic necessities (shelf stable milk, sugar, flour, etc.).

I buy all meats and produce at, or around, the mercado. Panaderia La Boquita has wonderful fresh postres that are often still warm from the oven.
