Due to inflation and competition from Aldi and Lidl, they don't hold a candle to their glory years. Thank you capitalism. This is a very clean store. Absolutely wonderful employees. Yet to be clear, their deals aren't what they used to be. Even accounting for inflation, I'm not all that impressed. They definitely have every item you're looking for. The self checkouts save time. Great produce and fruit areas, but sales seem more difficult to find.

Today I experienced my first ever racist encounter when a cashier (she said her name was Marie,…read morewasn't wearing her name tag) at the Food Lion in Lorton Virginia refused service to me by lying and saying she was closed. After going into another line I noticed that she continued to serve other customers that weren't minorities. I was specifically sent to her line by one of the front end people. I spoke with their store manager, but we will see what if anything to the employee. I do not plan on letting this slide! You should be ashamed of yourselves for hiring such people. Everything is on camera and I have contacted the corporate office regarding this.

I'm not sure if Harris Teeter looks at Yelp for reviews, but I think my experience deserves one…read more Living in this automated world, there are limited places at a grocery store where we need human service. The deli counter is definitely one of them. I went to Harris Teeter today looking for a different shopping experience than what I do every single week. Sadly,I didn't get it. Their produce department is absolutely beautiful. All of their shelves are well stalked and organized and staff in and around the deli area is beyond my expectation. The problem is with all that staff in the deli area , there's not a single person that wants to get behind that counter and cut your deli meats. Today I waited nine minutes with all manner of deli staff walking around me, and actually ignoring me from behind the deli counter. (I'll add that its not the first time) They may have figured out that I'm a Yelp reviewer, because the "manager" came over and offered herself to help me with my deli order - which by this time was too little too late. By comparison, I went to the meat and fish counter, where the minute I walked up, somebody was right there offering assistance, telling me to ask for them if I decided that I needed any help. Far cry from being ignored just a few feet away. Suggest cutting the dead weight in the deli. Staffing looks great on paper, but not in practice. There are 3 places at a grocery store where you actually need human help, deli, meat counter and cashier. If you want 66% then this is the store for you.

They now have one line that feeds into all the checkout stations, like Bailey's Crossroads location has been doing for years. It does seem to speed up the checkout process. I haven't tried the scallops before but the TJ's newsletter had me wanting to try them. I never leave TJ's without a Tarte aux Champignons flatbread. Sooo good! Light delicate crust, creamy, mushroom base. Trust me, if you like mushrooms, you want to grab one of these.

I do understand I went to the store as they're under going construction so it wasn't the same Trader Joe's environment I was used to. I also went in on a Sunday at 8pm so many items were out of stock which was understandable. It kind of reminded me of 2020 pandemic days of empty shelves. I definitely would go back during a weekday morning for promised variety. And I'm certain when construction is complete the store will be even better than before!

The Hilltop Wegman's has a few things going for it…read more I can tell you that they have a very good wine section, even including a few organic (no added sulfites) vinos. Wegman's also has excellent meat and seafood sections. The bakery is impressive. And one thing they have improved since we first shopped here five years ago is that they have toned down the blasting music that used to make us want to get fast out of Wegman's. The hot foods section used to be pretty good, but now it has shriveled down to next to nothing, The take-home pre-prepared meals, while very good in quality, are exorbitant. Plan on spending $16-$18 for a simple meal, which is as much as you would pay in a restaurant for the same stuff. While they have an abundance of self-check stations, Wegman's doesn't let you get cash back, like you can at Safeway. The self-check stations can be persnickety. Today, I encountered one machine claiming I had put an unchecked item in the bagging item before I had even started scanning my stuff. Yikes! But what I really don't like is how Wegman's does bagging. The Virginia legislature in 2022 passed a law allowing grocery stores to collect from customers 5¢ for each plastic bag used. Wegman's has completely done away with plastic bags, yet Wegman's but takes advantage of that law to charge 5¢ for each paper bag. The icing on the cake is their paper sacks do not even have handles.

I can finally say ... this is my favorite grocery store !!…read more Starting with pharmacy, prices are unbeatable in comparison to all pharmacies near. Staff is always friendly and has often given me "emergency refills " of my dog's controlled medications when I've forgotten to call in advance. Their cafe ... no words .. from having a bar.. to coffee .. SUSHI? Perfect place to study with a large seating selection. As for groceries.. I would expect them to be more expensive but they actually aren't bad. I love their kitty litter!! $12 and works amazing! Tip: Try their take on a shrimp po boy but in sushi form ... (you have to love old bay)

They have a wide variety of juices, breads, flours, chickpeas and lentils, daal, mango and other juices, coffee, tea, beer, kulfi (ice cream), etc. All of the prices are very reasonable. The staff is very helpful. I got a Haldiram's vegetarian paneer entree ($4.03), horse gram (assorted seeds, $7.56), Himalayan yak cheese ($14.13), dry figs ($8.07), two Kit Kats ($4.02), aloo bhujia (spicy bread sticks or noodles, $4.94), Thums Up soda ($2.01), current achan sticks ($1.00), and a Barashinghe beer (11 oz., $3.70). The total was $49.46. If you have never had Nepali food before, this is the place. Keep up the good work.

My first visit at this location, however, was for a return. Interestingly, the customer service desk is near the stairwell & escalator just outside of the store. This made my visit much quicker than expected, which was a definite plus. While this branch opened its doors in mid 2022, somehow I just discovered it a few months ago. I guess you learn something new everyday, folks.
