Reply to comment by CatumEntanglement in does anyone know when the Market Basket over towards Shrewsbury is opening by Nyxie27

If the Oxford store is any kind of analogue, 'ton of customers' needs to be redefined. That store opens its doors with a line of people waiting every day. Not 5 or 6 folks--a line of people.

Any random summer Tuesday there, it's busier than any other market I have seen--even if it was Shaw's on the day before Thanksgiving, if 2 feet of snow was forecast, and it was the last place for 25 miles with milk, bread, and eggs.

Don't get me wrong, I still shop at the Oxford Market Basket. But it's taught me how crotchety, miserable, mumbling, old New England people are made.

[Which is why I smile at others, look both way before exiting an aisle, and make sure that I give the cashiers exactly zero guff.]

Oxford store is standing room only in the aisles too. Hopefully the Shrewsbury one has bigger aisles

I've only been to the Oxford one a few times to get a few things (not a full shopping) and it didn't bother me.

I go to the Leominster one at the mall and it's nuts always. I try to go around 6:45am to get in and get out. That's the only time it's not busy.

I recently went to the one in Littleton and the store layout is the reverse from what I am used to and it was so unbelievably terrible.

What the fuck IS IT with idiots who burst out of side aisles without looking? WHY are people so fucking self absorbed? Love it when you get the surprised look after they almost hit you. Un real
