Fareway Grocery

We had a last minute order for birthday cake, but Fareway Bakery came through. Thank you very much! We had a great day, and you were a big part of it!

A very nice and clean grocery store.nnIt’s very well stocked and easy to navigate. Even though it seems a little smaller than some of the big box grocery stores it seems to have a lot of specialty items and items from smaller producers.nnIt’s worth stopping by the deli counter for fresh sliced deli meat and butchery.

They always have the friendliest kids working the front of the house. However, when i want to buy smokes or lottery tickets, I go to where they sell them, which at no convenience to me or the kids is where the self checkout is. So I ring my items up. Then I have to get the attention of an employee, and they are more than happy to help until I inform them I need smokes and scratchers. It's like jamming a stick into the spokes on a bicycle. They need to locate an adult to fulfill my order. Typically, a manager or lead person, there is only ever one or zero present and available. Today's visit, they had to get on the horn. Luckily, there was an adult employee who sprang into action, even though she appeared to be done with her shift, clocked out, coat buttoned, hat and mittens on, and trying to get out the door. Good for her, way to take the initiative, hope she doesn't get in trouble for working off the clock. She was able to ring up my smokes with the rest of my items at the self checkout register. Hooray me, right? Almost. For reasons I'm not privy to, scratchers can not be purchased at self checkout, the aisle where they advertise, dis]play, stock, dispenser, and scan the value of winning ticket.nNope, not in that lane. Instead, I need to gather my bags and haul them with me as I cut through the lines of waiting people, all while trying to keep track of the employee as she ventures to the next available lane, aka the farthest lane away, and there we finally complete my purchase.nMy suggestion would be they should put a register on the other side of self checkout dedicated to tobacco and lottery, or get one of those scratcher ticket vending machines that the other grocers in town have. Hey, won my money back on the scratcher.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Well maintained store that is easy to navigate!

Very clean and organized grocery store. Prices were very reasonable and had a lot of great cuts of meat you don't see at big box stores. Very impressed with the service, came right out to my vehicle and helped unload the cart and took it back inside. No self checkout! Felt like a old small time grocery store. Will shop there again!
