Lee's Marketplace - Smithfield

Great service and selection, particularly great produce!

I came in the other day to pick up some groceries and some snacks to have in my office. I wasn 't really expecting to need to leave a review for anything, and I wasn 't really anticipating any positive or negative experience. It was just a run-of-the-mill errand run. I typically will get rotisserie chickens from Costco but because I was there and I saw them by the Lee 's checkout area, I decided I might as well just at least look at them and see what my options are. The pricing is about the same as basically every other grocery store. If you want to know my experience about WinCo and their rotisserie chicken absolutely see my review. Because ultimately I would trust a WinCo chicken over a Lee 's chicken. I thought that it was State regulation or something to have on your Packaging marked when the chicken was cooked and when it was put under the Heat lamp. This is something that Costco does and does it well. At Costco their workers even know if you ask them when the chicken was cooked and how long it 's been out. I went over to the customer I went over to the customer service section desk to ask them how I can tell how long their chicken at least has been out and they just condescending they told me oh it 's fine. They haven 't been out long . But it wasn 't fine. I touched the chickens myself and sure the outside was hot on the top and bottom but the sides were cold. If you pressed your finger you could feel that the inside wasn 't that warm. That tells me that the chicken has been out under the heat lamp for longer than it should be. And I didn 't appreciate being condescended and treated like an idiot. I didn 't appreciate the passive way that they just tried to quell my fears and concerns without actually answering my question. And maybe they just were trying to pass it off because they didn 't know how long it had been out either. But isn 't that even worse? Don 't they realize that not only are adults probably eating this chicken that 's now swarming with bacteria that will make people seriously sick, but children probably went and ate that chicken as well. In a perfect world doctors would be able to track exactly what the food was that made children sick to the point that they needed to be hospitalized, and in a perfect world we would be able to track the person that was responsible for allowing that food to be sold. I 'm not saying that that day some child was sent to the hospital because of some Lee 's chicken, but stuff like that happens all the time because of negligence like that. When you work in food that 's what you have to understand is that you are giving somebody something that could potentially really damage their health if you don 't follow food regulations. And as I 'm going to each grocery store in the valley I 'm realizing that there 's only one or two out of the dozens that we have that actually follows food regulation. What sad is that when WinCo was at the bottom of my list I couldn 't help but think it was going to stay there. But Lee 's in Smithfield has 100% taken the cake. Lee 's is at the very bottom of my list. Not just because the deli workers are incredibly rude, and pretend to work all the time and ignore you while you stand there by the meat for half an hour, but customer service doesn 't know what 's going on and the chicken has most likely been sitting under a heat lamp for hours just waiting for some single mother to come take it home and accidentally give her child food poisoning because she thought that a chicken was safe to eat. Lee 's is at the very bottom of my list because their bathrooms are always consistently filthy, their floors are always in need of heavy mopping. Their carts are always in need of heavy repair. I grew up in Davis County in a nicer neighborhood sure, but that doesn 't mean that occasionally I would go to a grocery store in Layton or Roy, and I bet you can guess the quality of everything in those grocery stores. Smithfield is a wonderful town and the quality of the grocery store there does not match up.

Good store to shop at on the way home from work in the morning.

Kudos to the crews. 15yrs shopping here and they've always been helpful and friendly

Great Hometown Market with good selections on hard to find items.
