[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.  
[b]The one at Little Falls shopping center is a total disaster[/b], I don't know how it stays open.  This might be what PP was referencing when she mentioned 40 minute waits at the check stand.  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]

I left that store once after a couple of aisles of shopping because it was apparent it was going to take me longer to check out at Safeway than to drive to Giant and use the self check out.  Too bad, because I like the convenience of the smaller store and the idea of being able to run in and pick up a few things but it always takes twice as long as it should.[/quote]
