It was horrible. I went out early and I’ll never do it again. They said by afternoon it’s dead, and they never run out of food.
If you don’t have it by Tuesday 3 pm, just go without.

Yep similar experience at the Fair Lakes Whole Foods as well as at the Chantilly Wegmans.

And be polite to the check out people. Don't say "Oh it's so quiet right now" because that's a curse.
