Wilson Farm's a rip off?

· · 🌡️ 70°F

I guess because one of the original estrip posts I wrote was about an incident at wilson farm's on breckenridge @news #29677 - this person thinks I am just a anti-wilson farm's individual. Otherwise I have no idea why they sent this to me?!

    Weird. They do have a point about Wilson Farms but it's a convenience store; what is so hard to understand about that?

    ?? That's so crazy. In any case, it is a convenience store, where you go to pick up TP when you're desperate and can't make it to Wegman's. Of course convenience stores are pricey.

    Compared to the bodega in mt hood Wilson Farms is a dream. They should be sent to JC and then let's see how much they complain about WF.

    Um no what they bought was a rip off. Many things there cost about the same as a tops, and if you get stuff on sale their prices are good. What you are paying for is not standing in a tops line when you need just a few things. Hey they think that place is costly go to 7 Eleven and see what rip off really means, on some items.

    Conflict of Interest Alert - I work for a company that provides inventory services for Wilson Farms (and many other stores) and I, personally, inventory Wilson Farms on a regular basis.

    Convenience stores exist for only one reason - convenience. And convenience costs. Unless something is on sale (usually because of the vendor or manufacturer), you are not going to find bargains at legitimate convenience stores.

    In my professional and personal experience, vendor items (bread, diary, soda, beer, chips) prices are competitive with Tops and Wegmans (I also inventory both stores). The less turnover in a product, the higher the price. This is true for all retail, but especially convenience stores.

    As to buying sandwiches at Wilson , I think anyone who buys their sandwiches is unwise. If you want a sandwich go to a sandwich shop. Or make it yourself. It's not that hard. Even at Wilson Farms, you can get a half-pound or so of lunch meat and a loaf of bread for less than 4 dollars.

    But coming back to the anonymous coward who complained, I wonder if s/he bothered to contact Wilson Farms corporate management about the problem. These days, since the severance from Ahold, customer satisfaction is a bit more of a priority. I don't think that the A.C. would have gotten her/his money back but at the very least s/he would have gotten a coupon for another sandwich.
