Unfortunately since last review, this supermarket has really dropped its standards. The new owners just don't seem to care about the state of the produce or fruit and veg. I always check use by dates, as they are frequently past or near use by, but not marked down, and as for the elderly owner who keeps a watchful eye on the staff at the front registers, please go home. Its very off putting. My friends son worked for them and found the elderly lady very rude to him and they don't even pay the correct hourly rate!
An unusual shopping experience is had every time I enter this place. The staff members are mostly friendly and the produce is okay. I'd definitely prefer to do my fruit shopping elsewhere than here though. The hardest thing is the rudeness of many of the local shoppers, and I have had a few other people I have met say they avoid some of these Beaumaris shops for that reason too. Come on people. It takes more than just friendly staff to make a friendly business, and shoppers need to take a minute to respect others among them too. In this very shop the other day, I helped an elderly woman after she had been shaken up by a busy, professional looking woman who basically bowled her out of her way in her haste. Unfortunately this seems to be far too common. Good on the staff at Foodworks Beaumaris for continuing to smile through their clientele. My hat goes off to you.
