Jiffy Market

I.Don't.Get.It.

This place is GROSS. First, there is a layer of filth on everything. Most symbolic representation of this is the "ad" for a "gourmet" cheese plate with wine for $7.95 taped to the counter COVERED in DIRT. MMMMmmmmm sounds appetizing. Second, it stinks inside (more on that below). Finally, the store is completely disorganized.

I went in on a Thursday night and the customers were drunk and acting stupid. The crowd reminded me of a class of 1990 high school reunion. You know, the type of people who were really "cool" back in the day and thought their good looks and charm would get them through. They were loud, obnoxious, and much too old to be acting like a bunch of drunken teenagers. Ugh.

The "smoking" patio really turns this place into a smoking establishment. The smoke came into the building and I felt like I was in a smoking bar from back in the day.

The layout of the store is chaotic. I felt like I was walking into someone's storage shed. It's not well lit and it's not easily distinguishable where you're supposed to order your food, pay for your food, etc.

The woman at the sandwich counter acted like she'd rather be eating my toe lint than making my sandwich. The sandwich was surprisingly good, although they put about a pound of meat on it.

Dang, this place is a hot mess.

Jiffy market is great for a burger and beers. Out of the way with friendly staff and good hours.

I live in North Eugene so Jiffy is not convenient for frequent visits, but I do make the trip when I need to stock up on wine.  It's worth the drive to walk in and get some great suggestions and a discount for case lots.
