People dont eat in bad weather?
Theyre not located in Buffalo NY with 20 inches of snow.
Why arent they doing deliveries since the bad weather started (customer service person said that in the store)? |
Where did you get this information from?
They never did deliveries at all.
Shimon's Express which is completely unaffiliated with Bingo provided delivery services for a separate charge for a short time. They stopped because they said they're not equipped to handle the volume.

Why would a store that sells various products, each with a different certified hechsher, need its own hechsher?

I'm 99% sure there is no hechsher on the whole store.
Each department may have their own though. But there is no hechsher on the repackaging afaik.

Guy at Customer Service counter didnt say a word about any other company. He said they stopped deliveries when bad weather began.

I'm confused. Were you actually in the store? There were signs from Shimon's Express at the checkout counters. First, that they are going to do deliveries for a fee and now that they stopped as they realized that they can't handle the volume.

I called multiple times to confirm that theyre doing deliveries. There was no answer. Got recording every time. I decided to go. I walked in and asked if theyre doing deliveries. Cust Serv person said NO, no deliveries since bad weather started. Not a word about any other company involvement.

OP here.
No Im not from the Binik family and I have nothing to do with KRM or any other supermarket, other than being a customer, and I got used to Bingo. I love their huge selection of Organic produce that NO other BP Supermarkets have, so I go twice a week. I also like their Salmon.
But,
They still dont carry Tofutti cream cheese, or any interesting Pareve Ice cream (like the So Delicious brand that other kosher supermarkets are selling) and they dont sell the Gefen no salt added Tomato sauce and Tomato juice that almost all kosher supermarkets sell, their nuts and chocolates are not dated with a "packed on" date, these come to mind, etc. And still no deliveries. Why?

This is an old thread. I think that they only stock items that they can pass on a discount. Personally I have fun shopping there but there is such a thing as too much halva.

Im the OP and I wanted to update my opinion of the store.
Im addicted to Halva actually, but only certain brands, covered in chocolate, like Joyva thats OU now I think, or Shufra, and only when its sold in closed packages.

I bought it packaged but I agree with you about the stuff that has to be weighed.

That place is scary with the open baskets of candy, nuts, and vats of olives that you take by yourself and then have weighed. Some people were seen there sticking their bare hands into the olives and nuts and eating and eating, with their hands. Gross.

No and I just explained why! I saw too many gross things going on therer with people sticking their hands into the open food and eating away. Can you imagine someone sticking their hands into olives in liquid? This is what I saw!
