I disagree with those fervent fans of Sweetbay who post here. It's a nice little store, but what drives me nuts is that if I go in for five items, I can almost be guaranteed that they'll be out of stock on one or two of them. My wife has noticed that they frequently sell outdated items. And then there's the incident when we bought some individual-sized box wine and found that two of the three we bought had the wine replaced with water. Even more maddening was that Sweetbay told us they don't give refunds on alcoholic beverages.

Forgive me, but the reason that Sweetbay is closing more than half their stores in Florida is that it simply isn't a very well-run grocery. That's my opinion anyway. Take it or leave it.
