Don't offer free products if you can't meet the commitment
I find it very frustrating when free products are offered on a Saturday, coupon clipped, and by the time I get to the store early Sunday morning, the free supply of product is already gone.
This happened 3/31/24 at the Jewel on Howard Street in Evanston, IL. The offer was for a pink Starbucks drink. The manager said that 50 boxes were offered, but only 10 were delivered.
Recommendation: Don't have expectations of receiving free products
I don’t like an employee who waited on me who was rude to me
I am usually a customer that shops there a lot South Elgin,IL store. I went to the customer service desk to get 6 stamps. I didn’t want a book of stamps but only 6 individual stamps how simple right. So I asked Kim who was at the customer service desk please may I have 6 stamps n she started ringing up 6 books of stamps n I said no I don’t want 6 books of stamps but just 6 stamps. How hard is that to figure out. She said she won’t give me 6 stamps but I had to buy 1 book of stamps otherwise I had to go to the post office for individual stamps. She was very rude to me. She thought it was a joke n was laughing like I told her wrong but I didn’t. She didn’t even say sorry for the confusion or the mistake. She really ruined my day. She needs to be better at listening to the customers n not just laugh it off likes it nothing.
A great shopping experience at this location
I want to thank Shaun S. in the Meat Department for easing my troubled mind! I had a reservations about "Coupons" & sale prices on my last visit to this location.
I did not care to make my way to the Cashier, have all of my groceries rung up, only to discover that my groceries will not be rung up at the listed "Sale prices."
Shaun S. patiently walked me through the process of choosing, downloading the Jewel-Osco app onto my phone; how to choose the necessary coupons before paying for my groceries & having all sale price adjustments to my final purchase! Shaun S. represents the Jewel-Osco brand well!
Give him a raise plus three days off for his expertise, patience, product knowledge & professionalism!
Recommendation: Always ask a Store Associate for help!

Excellent food and service
I recently ordered a large fruit tray as well as a large veggie tray for a large party I was hosting. I ordered about one week in advance in person at my local Jewel on Eola Road in Aurora, Il. I spoke with a gentleman in the produce department and he assured me everything would be ready on the date given at the time specified. He made the ordering process so easy that I confess I wasn't sure it would be correct. However, I am happy to report that the fruit and veggie trays were both incredibly fresh and delicious. We are still enjoying the leftovers 4 days after the event. My guests were very complimentary and the entire experience was not only positive, it exceeded my expectations. By the way, the trays were huge! They were quite a value.
Recommendation: I would highly recommend the Jewel catering for future events and plan to use them myself whenever I have a large group.

Horrendously Poor Hygiene
I visit my South Elgin Jewel 5 days a week. The young man they put in charge of stocking dairy has horrendously rancid body odor. It permeates the entire aisle. It’s distinctly the smell of not washing one’s self or clothing for days. It’s offensive and other customers notice it too. Not an isolated incident. It’s every time he works. Several month...

Does Jewel have a habit of mis stamping expiration dates on its milk? I bought a gallon of milk at Store 3545 at 1224 S W Wabash in Chicago on 3/4/24.

I have been an avid shopper at this Jewel since it is near my house and I would love to have a chance or opportunity to buy any different or allocated whiskey that comes in that every Jewel happens to receive regularly.

Every year there is no help available for open enrollment. Last year I was given false information, that ended up dropping my son & I had no flex card. Both are important to me to have. When you ask for help at my location there is never any available. They are always to busy . I am looking for a different location to do my open enrollment witch I don’t think I should have to do. This is so inconvenient for me.

Poor service. Charged incorrectly and did not give back change or a receipt.
