If you've ever wondered what it's like to pay premium prices for a bargain-basement experience,…read morewelcome to Harris Teeter on North Saint Asaph. The self-checkout area is a masterclass in frustration. There aren't enough lanes, the systems look like they were installed sometime during the Bush administration, and half of them are usually "temporarily out of service" with paper bags draped over the screens like little brown tombstones. The line regularly stretches toward the back of the store, so forget "quick trip." The few seasoned employees who work that area really do try, but most of the self-checkout staff have perfected the art of standing nearby while being remarkably unhelpful. Prices, of course, are sky high--which might be easier to swallow if the place didn't feel so out of control. Shoplifting is clearly a sport here; you can literally watch people grab cases of beer and stroll right out the door. Handheld baskets are scarce because those walk out too. Outside, the loading dock area frequently smells putrid, and the seating area that's supposed to be for paying customers is often taken over by loiterers and left dirty and uninviting. It's not exactly the relaxing neighborhood grocery vibe they're going for. And then there's the parking garage. The lighting is dim enough that you half expect a crime drama to be filming in the corner. It feels dingy, not safe or welcoming, and the escalators from the garage to the store are out of service so often they might as well be decorative art pieces. For a grocery store in the heart of Old Town, this place should feel clean, secure, and well-managed. Instead, it's giving "municipal chaos with luxury pricing."

Then he went in to shop. While I'm sure the store doesn't condone such behavior he still draws a picture for someone that is only in town for a few days. If you are actually looking for a grocery store in this area do yourself a favor and go to Balducci's. That place is x better in all ways.

Despite sign stating no dogs but service dogs per law, customers bring their dogs inside of store…read more One I saw was a frou-frou dog in a baby or doll carriage obviously not a service animal being pushed around. No vest, nada. Staff stated they're not allowed to tell customers that dogs are not allowed. Recently a dog pooped on the floor. I love dogs but common sense dictates not a good idea having them around food for obvious health and sanitary reasons. Besides some people are allergic to dogs. Couple with dog in buggy drove by car to Safeway and could have left dog in car. Weather was not too hot or too cold. I will shop elsewhere that abides by the law.

I stopped in to do a return for Amazon and was welcome by the staff very quickly. They help me…read morereturn my items and we're so nice about it. Highly recommend this return spot for Amazon. Afterwards, you can always take a walk around the store and see lots of yummy yummy things along with Tastings of food and then they have the people out. Food is great! Nice music playing in the background as well.

I solely went off of the Yelp review for which store to get a some items for our AirBnB since we arrived late....big mistake we walked to the Safeway and before even walking in there was a guy pissing on the Safeway building before he went in to shop. That should have stopped me but I for some god forsaken reason I continued in there and well it was a complete let down. On the other hand Balducci's store was super clean, great selection on anything we needed and I didn't feel filthy after walking out. I can't give this store enough stars.

The only downside is that their seating area closes at 10pm. No other Wegmans does that sooo it's not cool They are one of the only Wegmans in the dmv that serves burgers and fries !!

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.

//5 stars Aldi is…read morealways aldi. It is setup as a typical Aldi is U.S. starts with baked goods then proceeds to produce, and then on. I always find the items I need but it might be on a different form or brand. That is what I like about aldi -- the brands always changes therefore you get to experience different items that you didn't try. They have everything you need as a typical grocery store but with plenty of space to walk around. Must have are their chocolates --- they have great German chocolate that are to die for. No complaint as they have a shared parking space with CVS with one way entrance and exit. Great choice as it does not get too busy as other Aldi stores in the nearby cities.

The produce wasn't as fresh as I would have anticipated for a Sunday early afternoon and there is a very limited health & beauty section - just the staple items. If you want chips, breads and canned foods - this location is for you. The plus - self serve checkout process - quick and easy.
