[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Kensington Safeway is perpetually understaffed. They will have one, maybe two, lines open during peak times. They never open additional lines when it is 5+ people deep. It drives me crazy. Now, the staff they DO have are wonderful, friendly people.[/quote]

This is true of every single grocery store I have been in with the exception of maybe TJ. All safeway stores have this problem for sure.[/quote]

No, they don't.  Giant almost never has this problem, IME.  Every time I go to Snider's in SS, I breeze through the checkout line.  WF is well-staffed.

It's why, even though we live five minutes from the Kensington Safeway, I almost never go there.  [/quote]

Agree on Snider's, was thinking the big chains. Which Giant is not understaffed? The one in SS one EW Hwy has about 20 closed checkout lanes every time I am in there and a line going down the aisle for self checkout. WF in SS also not well staffed. [/quote]

Really?  I haven't ever had a problem getting through Giant.  The ones I go to semi-regularly are by Wheaton Mall, at Georgetown Square (across from Wildwood), on Rockville Pike by the Chick Fil A, downtown Bethesda on Arlington Road.  I usually do the self-checkout.  Rarely go to the one in DTSS, though.  I was just at the WF in SS yesterday and the express line looked long, but we only waited five minutes or so.  That's usually par for the course.

As a PP noted, I would LOVE a Wegman's close by, though.[/quote]

I was in the WF in SS yesterday and noticed the all the poorly stocked shelves, partially empty. Brown meat in the open coolers (that aren't broken), over ripe fruit and almost no bananas. I don't think I can shop there anymore. Not to mention I could barely get into the parking lot and the express line was wrapped around the store at 3-4pm. I abandoned my cart and left. I think it's the beginning of the end for WF.[/quote]
