What People Are Saying About Metropolitan Market

In Short – Top-quality food is displayed like fine art: Meats are arranged like sculptures, pastries like jewels, vegetables like a Dutch still-life. Vibrant chalkboards mark the aisles and clever ceramics denote individual kiosks. It's not all show, however. Knowledgeable and cheerful staff--some trained in France--explain cheese rinds, aged beef, food and wine pairings and the best chocolate cookbook, and the store is one of the best places in town to discover those hard-to-find gourmet items.

Great Employees though badly treated
by AnInjuryToOne
Great Employees there but boy are they mistreated.
People get fired for smoking on their ten minute breaks.
Their hours get arbitrarily cut.
They work kids in the back like animals for 8 bucks an hour.
They're so busy catering to their yuppy clientele that they can't tell their employees feel like they're in a prison.
Man, these small grocery chains are supposed to be different than the big ones but there isn't much of a difference.
I'll be shopping at safeway and hoping for a trader joe's to open in the neighborhood some time soon.
- Pros: Nice employees
- Cons: they are badly treated

Take all your money market
by paulsuxcok
Stop on in and hand us your wallet. The smoke and mirrors will almost make you believe this fresh food is worth your hard earned money and they are more than willing to take it.

300 pounder loves to eat!
by sperline
Incredible selection. As a "big boned" person I love to eat a variety of things. Thriftway has the best selection of foods.
