No naked lunch planned at the new ss location.

It does feel a bit sparse but I assume this is because it is so spanking new.

I anticipate parking to be a pain in the ass in about a month or two. But I guess we should walk there too ...

Their produce section is stocked with seasonals and didn't feel watered down like whole foods around the corner from this location. Didn't see or overlooked any lunch cafe at this location didn't inquire if they'll have one. Getting in and out of parking garage entrance can be tricky if it gets busier but underground parking was fine at non busy hour. Store is a good addition to that area of town.

And a free shopping bag

Not all the locations are as some of y'all describe here. Most have nice people. Shop quickly and you should be fine.

Yes, I quit going since the vibe with friendly cashiers changed and hoards of rude customers flooded in. It used to be my favorite store. Now I loathe going.

Agreed. Door at the College Park location says: be nice or kind of shop elsewhere. shouldn't cashiers also abide by that? Produce and some other items are +++!!!

I live the free air for car tires I the parking lot!

Last time I went, there were zero carts. Not one. The new type of rude folks must have just ditched them all over the parking garage after they cleared out most of the good beef. I also had a sort of homeless looking old woman, she was likely not homeless but just imagine hair not cut in a decade like Crystal Gale, flip around her ancient hair with childlike delight around the store, and strangely wedged herself behind me and proceeded to flop her nasty hair all over my neck and back and I felt so violated. My neck turned so red my DD asked if I was sunburned later. I said I was assaulted by old, dirty hair.

It seems like Karen-central there. My sis shops there which solidified my impression.

Yay for you that you're a Certified Urban Dweller and can walk to commerce, but you realize most people, even on DCUM can't, right? Especially if they're posting about suburban MD grocery stores. What's your goal here: do you want all of us to move or make it a goal to move to a denser urban area? Or do you just want to tell us that you're already there?

One day maybe you too will be able to walk easily to a MOM's, fArmers market or CSA.

And you can buy beer and wine there! Not sure why that is.

I think there’s on in Bowie too— at least there was 15 years ago when I lived there. Seems like there are a lot so not sure why OP feels like it’s a long drive.

Produce real superior and fresh compared to WF. You're literally not comparing apples to apples here.

MoM's is like Fresh Fields or WF from the 90s.

Odd, I love MOM's Rockville precisely because everybody is so nice and not pushy! Totally unlike the WF experience. Customers don't block your way and clerks are sweet and will help carry your bags.
