I’ve been to Pak store several times now, and unfortunately I’ve noticed repeated issues. That’s why I feel the need to write this review—to warn other customers. The meat section is especially concerning. I was told multiple times that the meat was “fresh,” even though the packaging clearly showed it had already passed its expiration date by a day. On top of that, the meat had already turned grey, which is an obvious sign that it’s no longer fresh. I also had bad experiences with fruit. I bought strawberries where only the top few looked fine, but underneath most of them were already moldy. In general, it feels like the produce isn’t being checked or rotated properly. I even saw the same pineapple sitting in the exact same spot for days, gradually getting worse and visibly going bad. On top of that, the prices are very high for the quality being offered. Charging premium prices for products that are already spoiled—or close to it—is simply not acceptable. Overall, it feels like the store is trying to make profit even from items that should have been thrown away. For me, that’s a complete no-go.
