Strack & Van Til

I'm not sure where all the negative comments are coming from. Since moving to Whiting, Strack is my go-to store. The prices are always cheaper than the competition and they have a wide selection of cheeses and meats. I am here at least once per week and no one is ever rude to me or unpleasant. Sometimes the younger cashiers seem like they don't care about being there, but they're young cashiers at a grocery store. It's a part-time job and they're making the best of it. I rarely have any questions for the employees because I kind of wander and get what I need or want. The few times I have interacted with someone, outside of a cashier, they were always nice. I was looking at the milk one time and someone legit asked if I needed help. I put something back another time and one of the guys from the meat department thanked me for putting it back in its normal spot. Overall, it's not huge like a Mariano's is. It's not going to have your organic, high fiber prunes that your doctor wants you to eat 3x per day. The normal worker will not know if your child Mackenzeigh is going to enjoy the ice cream you bought. But Strack does have staff with a good attitude and an overly decent selection for a grocery store.
