A consumer product testing organization uses a survey of readers to obtain customer satisfaction ratings for the nation's largest supermarkets. Each survey respondent is asked to rate a specified supermarket based on a variety of factors such as: quality of products, selection, value, checkout efficiency, service, and store layout. An overall satisfaction score summarizes the rating for each respondent with 100 meaning the respondent is completely satisfied in terms of all factors.
