Hy-vee Bakery - Ankeny

Ordered a champagne birthday cake from them. The cake was all frosting and hardly any cake. It tasted nothing like the champagne cake I use to order. It was super dry and thin topped off with super sweet frosting. I will never order a cake from them again!

I know times are tough as far as finding workers. But good lord. I go to Hy Vee for two things the meat and deli counter. That kid they recently hired for the meat counter reminds me of Jeff Spiccoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I need three New York Strips. The kid: uhhhh, what?? Ummm, uhhh... Another new kid in that department is incredibly rude. The one older gentleman who 's worked there for a while is always who I 'm hoping is there. I ask for a pound of smoked turkey at the deli. Two of the guys who work there know me and know exactly what I want. Always a pleasure. The two new kids one spent nearly two minutes trying to put the meat inside the bag before the other guy had to come help him. The other new kid, instead of placing the wax paper on the scale, weighing the meat, then placing it in the bag, just grabs the meat and places it directly in the bag. And god forbid, don 't ask them about the specials advertised upfront or in coupons. That will confuse them beyond repair. Fareway is a lot further away. But it 's getting to the point that, for my own sanity, I may have to take the longer drive.

The pharmacy is so unorganized and takes close to an hour to fill prescriptions.

We chose to check out in a lane that had a first day cashier. The girl bagging the groceries was very helpful to him and us. He accidentally double charged us and the girl took it upon herself to get the approval from management to get it deducted and get us going to keep the line moving!!! Very impressed!! Thank you to the two working isle 5 today!! You are what Hy-Vee is supposed to be!!!

Quick and lukewarm was almost late. Had to re-warm my food when It got here.
