Pet Peeve - I wish a chain would just call all their stores the same name. I mean the coupons are the same, the store brand is the same, the rewards card is the same but they can't call a Ralphs a Smiths or a Smiths a Kroger... Ok. 1 rant down, tune in farther down for a mini rant. \n\nThe good news is the quality I like about Ralphs is present at Smiths. They have the best baked good section of any chain supermarket in the area. Their meat section is fresh, decent cuts, and the butchers are helpful if not the most knowledgeable. I must say that I have never had bad meat from Smiths and I heard on the news that out of all the supermarkets, they are the ones who do not use fillers in their ground beef although that may be over zealous reporting.\n\nThe store is usually clean and the staff very friendly. They have the self checkout now and perks like a bread cutter in the bakery section.\n\nMy only complaint is that the prices seem higher than some of the other stores although if you shop by circular and coupons, you can get some really good deals here too. And you get money off of gas if you can find a shell that honors the deal. (the one at this Smiths does not).\n\nNow for mini rant. Has anyone seen wine guy? I am sure he is a very nice man but everytime I see him he looks like a flamboyant town drunk. Even his photo looks like he has been sipping the wine he is promoting. He also has been pretty rude to me and several others who ask questions. And yet I see him shmoozing with some customers like they are his best friend. Anyway, minirant over, now show me where to find muscat!!!!!
