The few times I tried to buy just one the register charged me the full
regular price... but this is a small Grand Union where I really don't
like to shop but I do use it for fill ins because it's close. I've
already had arguments with the manager, once over them selling stale
bread (they actually magic marker over the sell-by date), and I got so
fed up with their warm meat display fridge that one day I brought my
fridge thermometer and left it in there while I did some other
shopping. When I returned it registered only 42 degF. I called the
store manager over and tried to explain, all he did was rant. I don't
buy any perishables there, not anymore.
