Feedback on Janet's Supermarket

[El Rey de Mangu]

I've been in Cabarete 4 years now (before SD, Cabrera). I prefer Playero or Super Pola, but Janet's is close and has a decent variety. I've seen major improvements over the past 4 years. There is however one issue that sticks in my craw. It's my biggest complaint. Certain cold cuts, especially cheese, and certain cuts of meat like 35% of the time taste like freezer burn or a nasty "old fridge" taste. When you pay 400/pound for cheese, it shouldn't taste like old fridge water.

Has anyone experienced this?

Not the meat, I find the ossobucco dirt cheap en fresh, but the bread in plastic bags. Awful!

A wine recomendation: try the MUREDA red from Spain, it’s right before the freezers. If I remember well at under 300, a good daily wine for dinner.

Yes, old raw chicken juice

Yes, I've noticed the same thing, especially with cheese like you said. The coolers aren't cool enough and I think they don't clean them often enough.

Have they fixed the lighting so the chicken doesn't look like death-gray in colour?
