We have one grocery store here and it’s HEButt (yes, real name). Worse store ever. Can’t stand it.
Garbage “fresh” produce and very limited inventory. They haven’t sold pork ‘n beans for years. You want something more than black or green canned olives? Forget it. You want more than cheddar, mozz or the rarely ordered swiss (only Kraft slices)? Forget it. How about Karo syrup and marshmallow fluff for your holiday treats? Nope, they never have it. Want more variety than half a dozen cuts of beef or pork? Hahahahaha! Want to cook for the family reunion? Then you should have started buying up meat a week or two in advance because they only put out a max of 4 packages per cut in the meat bin. Want to pick up something in the weekly sales circular? Count on it never being ordered or “it wasn’t on the truck” excuse or you have to annoy the meat man enough and do what amounts to a meat “drug” deal with him on the sly. Have a coupon? Don’t bother because they pull national coupon items off the shelves or claim the coupon won’t register. Want bread or milk? Sorry, the shelves are empty or you put the last two cartons of milk into your cart and three people beg to take one off your hands.
It’s a royal pain in the BUTT! Hope that those towns that have other stores put HEButt out of business by summer.
Are you talking about HEB? It doesn’t describe any one that I have been in. The store where you live must need to get a new manager.
Is your HEB an HEB Pantry? Those decrepit stores are an embarrassment to the brand name, and should all be shuttered.
The HEB’s and HEB Plus are nice stores....at least all of the ones I’ve shopped, in the Central to SE TX areas.
We go to SA and Austin a lot since my in laws are there, and there is a big difference.
Where do you live? Our HEB in Abilene has tons of selection, excellent meat and produce, good service, and decent prices. If your local HEB is that bad, you should write to their corporate offices- I’d bet money that they’d want to fix that, p.d.q.
