[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since it seems like we have settled safeway v giant, can I ask if I am the only one who doesn't understand harris teeter? I'm in moco if that matters for booze reasons. Basically it is an upscale giant for 125% of the price. It doesn't tough wegmans for prepared foods, and doesn't have whole foods or trader joes selections of organic or cool stuff. I really am trying to understand why people shop there unless strictly convenience.[/quote]

Agreed, I don't get Harris Teeter it at all.  The prepared foods are not WF or Wegmans quality.  I suppose they are a tad nicer than Giant in this regard.  However, I don't get any other reason to go there unless you are totally into olive bars, mediocre "fancy cheeses", sandwiches.

The Safeway is always a depressing experience.  They built that big new one in Bethesda.  You can dress it up fancy, but it's still Lucerne.  
The one at Little Falls shopping center is a total disaster, I don't know how it stays open. [b] This might be what PP was referencing when she mentioned 40 minute waits at the check stand.[/b]  Yes, Ms. Crystal is nice, but that is about all that place has going for it!

You couldn't pay me to buy a piece of "fresh fish" at any of these places.  Defrosted orange roughy from China...no thanks![/quote]

That was me. The 40-minute wait was in Greenbelt, although I'm not surprised that any Safeway is slow.

Something else worth mentioning -- the Giant in Greenbelt is in Beltway Plaza, which is a really crummy mall (decent Target there, however) and still has a far better selection of cheeses, organic products, and meats than the Safeway in a "nicer" plaza.

Also surprised no one mentioned Rosslyn's good old basement Safeway. I work nearby and the place is a disaster. [/quote]
