I purchased two avocados at Fresh World on 03/06/26 at 08:44 PM, as shown on my receipt. From the…read moreoutside they looked fine, but when I cut them open the next morning (03/07/26 around 11:00 AM) both of them were completely spoiled inside -- dark, moldy, and clearly inedible. What makes this situation even more ironic is the message printed on the store's bag: "Always FRESH!". Unfortunately, my experience was the exact opposite. This isn't really about the money. The amount is small. The issue is that customers should not be sold produce that is already rotten inside. If a store promotes "Always Fresh," there should be proper quality control to ensure the products on the shelf actually meet that promise. I hope someone from Fresh World's management or marketing team reaches out to address this situation, offer the appropriate apology, and refund the purchase. Regardless of the price, customers should not have to pay for food that is already spoiled. I'm sharing this so other shoppers are aware and can check their produce carefully when buying from this store.

Some good items TERRIBLE customer service…read more I have been coming to the store for years and today was the first time I came to return product they falsely advertised in the store. Came to the store with receipt and the product - which I bought 3 of and was not cheap- and Jumona (sp?), a rep at customer service desk quickly stated this product is not returnable due to various store policies. Next time, if there is one, be careful what you buy.

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.

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.

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.

They loved the free fresh fruit bin for children, as well as the shopping carts for children. I really liked they had "temporarily out of stock" signs for strawberries and other items.

Location: it is located in a busy shopping center and it is very congested inside and outside. There are so many employees restocking the aisles and blocking you from going past. Didn't get any sense of welcoming vibes or friendliness here. The store has only a handful of the smart carts. The employees stand at the entrance/exit and monitor you for the carts. No grocery store I go to has store employees monitoring you for carts. When I finished shopping and wanted to take the cart to my car to unload, they stopped me as if I am not allowed to do that. There are no cart storage lanes in the parking lot so you have to bring the carts back. I was only in the area so I stopped by, but unlikely to return here.

Polite employees although a lot of self checkout stations. Not sure what to put down on my 1099 form as this is work. All jokes aside you can do okay when shopping here.

Went to the customer service desk today to purchase postage stamps; there were two elderly people…read morein line ahead of me. Serendipitously, one of them was an elder from my church. The woman in customer service was festively dressed with faux antlers and holiday earrings. With my church elder, who was purchasing power ball tickets, she was clearly perturbed. She was on edge with him and slightly disrespectful. He did not understand the payment arrangement; but she did not have to be so irritated with him. On to the next customer; it was an elderly woman wanting to cash in a winning ticket. The customer service woman chided the poor woman telling her that the ticket wasn't registered and she would be getting no cash payout. I seriously doubt if the customer even understood why she was not getting any satisfaction for her winning ticket. I did not like the way she was being treated. The process was laborious so I went to the express checkout where Tracey got me a book of stamps with no wait. She chuckled and shook her head with chagrin over the customer service woman's behavior. Anyway shame on her; she clearly needs an attitude adjustment especially at this time of year. Kindness goes a long way. Please respect our elders. They are people of value too.
