First, you should know that people LOVE Market Basket, so presumably most people do not share my qualms with the store. I've only been to this location, but shopping here really tests my patience - even though I'm usually someone who enjoys grocery shopping!
The aisles are too narrow to accommodate two-way cart traffic, and most shoppers don't seem particularly attentive/proactive about not holding people up. Perhaps this happens at other shops too, but it is extremely noticeable here because of the narrow aisles. I avoid getting a cart if at all possible, and I've stopped waiting for people to realize they're in the way. At this point, I just squeeze around people or scoot carts aside as politely as I can manage.
The selection is good and the prices are better than many grocery stores in the area, so I'll continue to go for some especially well priced items when I'm nearby. I don't make special trips here though, because it can be frustrating to get around the store even during slow hours.
The register staff are helpful; they try to keep lines moving and offer to bag your groceries.
