La Sirena USED to have the best prices around (14) years ago. (Talking large items)
I bought many larger items from them in the past and they used to give a discount when asked.
Now they always say "no".

There are still some bargains, but not like before.
Smaller items as I said before are sometimes cheaper (Example: Circuit breakers)

People were coming all the way from Montecristo/Dajabon to shop there.

The rotisserie chicken (At least at the Pola store) is always overcooked and dry.
The pan de aqua used to be the best bread around, now it is always overcooked.
I complained about it and they blame it on the dough they get from the distribution center.
(Nothing new there, always someone else fault in the D.R.)

Good point on the chicken- I live next door to a Pola but specifically drive and shop at Nacional because the idiots dont know how set a timer to cook a chicken without drying it out. Makes you wonder what goes through the minds of some of these Managers-do they ever test the product to see if its edible. Not to difficult to correct this one.Actually the Managers are the usually the ones that are engaging in small talk with cashiers while people wait in long lines. Somethings just cannot be taught in school!
