Giant and Safeway produce are terrible. They cause me to waste extra time picking through it.

Both our local Giant and Save way are perfectly fine. Depends on where you live, I guess.

When you say fine how do they compare to wegman and whole food

We gave up on Safeway and Giant long ago. Gross.

We buy our organic dairy/produce at Whole Foods, our asian stuff at H-Mart, and the occasional fun processed snack/entree at Trader Joe's.

I do the budget, and can tell you it's not been more expensive! This is because the organic things are overpriced at Giant/Safeway. Plus I don't trust them, and the produce is wilted on the shelf already.

no, I'm happy to shop at a store with union labor.

Can you name a union grocery store that compares to wegman?

And the procurement process relates to union employment, how? What is the correlation and what are your data?

OP, I like the produce at Giant and Safeway.

It is a lot better than when I was growing up. Also, people were not as fussy about everything... and certainly less over weight then.

The staff is terrible and I have never seen all lanes open.

I also gave up asking for where things are because the staff has no clue.

What is wrong with the management at these companies? Do they not care? Are they hiring people that don't care?

Giant and Safeway are both union shops. So I guess the unions are to blame if staff are incompetent.

Get your fruits, vegetables, eggs and fresh bread at the Farmer's Market if you fresh, local produce. As for grocery stores I prefer Harris Teeter.

I buy lots of produce at the Friendship Heights Whole Foods. As recently as yesterday I had to pick through both green beans and asparagus. I recall a recent trip to WF when they didn't have either cilantro or Italian parsley.

If I have time I usually go to Giant first, then go to WF for whatever I can't find. But there's plenty of good stuff at Giant, even the somewhat quirky FH Giant.
