Hudson Greene Market

A great place to grab a sandwich, salad, or groceries.

A bit expensive, but worse, very poor selection compared to their biggest competition (whole foods). Don't expect any sort of seafood from here outside of a few pre-packaged fish fillets. Decent for the basics you need to restock on, but with whole foods one stop away on PATH, I really can't justify shopping here. This will never be a one stop shopping destination if you have a long list of ingredients to pick up for a specific recipe.

Similar type of groceries and hot/cold food-to-go sortiment as 'Wholefoods', but on a smaller scale. Prices certainly lean more towards 'organic'. Staff are friendly, coffee and sweet treats are nice.

This place has fresh vegetables and fruits. I also like the quality of their products. However, it is pricier than other nearby markets.
The staff are really friendly and helpful!

The only positive is that some of the staff are polite and professional, which cannot be said of some of the other staff (more to that below).

Prices are too high. I am not talking about prices for organic items. Let us say they are what they are as I do not have a direct comparison. I am talking about items that you get elsewhere, too, such as a standard 2 liter bottle of coke (2.79 as of 10/17/2014), toast, ... . To give you an example, a loaf of toast of a certain brand and type can be had for literally half the price at BJ's (the exact same item).

What irks me the most is the selective politeness of some of the staff and in some cases even attitude that they display. It happened to me on multiple occasions that the cashier greeted the customer in front me politely with 'Hi sir, how are you, ...'. When it was my turn there was no such politeness, yet for the customer after me the politeness switch was turned on again. There were even occasions where I said 'Thank you' with no response or where cashiers were talking to me without looking at me, which again, in my book is highly impolite. Some of the staff is polite and pleasant, which earns the store 2 stars.

Luckily, competition is coming next door as well as on the next block. At that point I will switch.
