Default Re: Sweetbay?

I went this morning for my first visit.

I was favorably impressed with the staff, of whom several definitely went out of their way to offer a solution to any question.

I thought the produce selection looked excellent (particularly the choice in lettuce), but I was not happy with the layout there - too cluttered and tight!

I wasn't looking for meats, this time, but an actual honest-to-goodness butcher counter with live personable butchers is a very positive note, to me!

The low-rise shelves give an open feel that is welcome! And, a somewhat height-challenged lady commented that she could actually reach the top shelf! A plus, indeed!

A non-scientifically devised list of selected items resulted in the fact that Sweetbay was $1.01 more than my recent purchases at Publix! That rather surprised me!

A few items on my usual list weren't immediately apparent, but I suspect I wasn't looking in the right place!

It would be nice to have a floor-plan to complement the list of where to find what!

My bottom-line opinion? I'll try again, but am not quite convinced to give up Publix!
