I'm surprised to see Aldi there, and not Wegman's. Or Publix,
not that there are any of those around here.

The store where I do most of my day to day shopping (meaning,
not Costco) is always ranked near the bottom. I like the store,
though, warts and all.

I'm sorry, I read too much into it. You were clear. I saw full
red dots and ran with it.

Aside from 4 & 5, which I don't know, that list doesn't surprise me.

Market Basket is pretty good. Prices are good and you don't need a
rewards card or other dumb program to get them. Employees are treated
well too. At one point they were doing well so the gave all customers a
4% discount on the total tab for two months.

Family owned, the two cousins had disagreement and Arthur was fired as
CEO. Customers and employees boycotted the store until he was able to
buy it back. Arthur wanted to share profits with employees, cousin
wanted to take it all.

I like the Tops Market in town but I only buy sale items there and
fresh meats on sale, otherwise their prices are high. I do major
grocery shopping at Walmart and Bjs. No Costco here, but BJs is like
Costco.
