Reader says , Fairway,”after a few trips I decided to go elsewhere”

“When it first opened in Paramus it was a novelty so I went a few times. I got tired of the piss poor attitude of the cashiers. And the milk never seemed to last. Hope the company can straighten their balance sheet out, but if employees aren’t friendly its not getting my business. Maybe I got a few nasty Bronx transplants at the register, but after a few trips I decided to go elsewhere.”
