THIS IS A DIARY ENTRY!!!!!
So I currently live in Fall River, MA and I am in the process of moving and my boyfriend and I love to save money. Who doesn’t right? With that, I went to Price Rite this past week in Fall River. I packed up my reusable Whole Foods bags and marched into the unorganized and filth of the center of the city Price Rite. The fruit wasn’t stocked and the isles were a disaster. With that said, I think I waited in line for over ten minutes and I am not complaining, but I thought to myself if this was Shaws or Stop & Shop would this have happened? In addition, I was surrounded by shoppers in pajama pants and kids running around the isles. To be honest this doesn’t bother me much, I sanitize the shopping cart, do my shopping, and exit as soon as I can, but this time I observed more than usual. I watched the shoppers, the condition of the store, the products provided, and finally how the employees interacted with the customers. Let’s just note that overall, it was not a great shopping experience and to anyone moving to Fall River I would not recommend them grocery shopping there :). With that, on my way home from Providence, last week my boyfriend had called and asked if I could pick up a few things, so I stopped at the Price Rite in Swansea because it was on the way home. When I walked in the store, it was bright and clean. The employees were friendly and the store was actually very organized. I was quite surprised and slightly impressed. Swansea is a small money town and I right away I made that connection to the condition of the store. The vegetables and fruits provided at the Swansea location were fresh and also had more variety than the Fall River store. I felt comfortable shopping and could actually hear the music playing in the background. Don’t get me wrong Price Right Swansea is no Stop & Shop, but it felt like a Whole Foods compared to the Price Right not even 15 miles away in Fall River. I think it’s evident the point I am trying to bring forth here regarding class and to be honest it’s simply quite disgusting…
