Didn't like it. Yes, it's nice and shiny inside. They have a whole food court inside of it and it's right when you walk in and kind of fenced off. So I like that instead of the food court at Mariano's which is by the Deli, causing a big log jam. I guess you can drink alcohol at Caputo's too. If I did, who knows what would be in my cart? Maybe that's their goal!
Anyway, the store isn't set up in a normal grid fashion. You walk into a big area which has produce and other items, but they have these rooms off the main room with other stuff and the name on top. So like for Dairy, you would walk over to this big open area for the Dairy. It has side walls and a back wall and the eggs are in the corner the farthest from the front door.
They have separate areas for the Meat and Deli and Cheese. The place is HUGE! I go to Costco lots and it's big, but you can zip around pretty quickly. This place is not set up for that. The worst is the checkout area. I couldn't find it! It's in an area with CUSTOMER SERVICE written above it. Then the lanes are kind of diagonal, so you can't see who has a ton in their cart or the fast line. You're all waiting there in a big pileup trying to figure out where to go.
I did get some pineapple salsa which was fresh and yummy and a rotisserie chicken which was very moist and of course 6 dozen eggs @ .99 each.
It won't be my main place to go, but I'll try to pick up good sales items. I'm going at a weird time though, too much of a chance of a big pileup at the checkout if I go during normal hours!
