From them stacking shelves on Saturday mornings (and they don't get out of the way with their carts either), to them charging you for paper bags (without handles no less), to having less and less check-out lanes open, and grumpy service desk employees, it is all bad service. Make no mistake, this is all greed on Wegmans side. With self-checkout they don't have to pay cashiers, except for the one standing around at these lanes doing nothing other than watching customers doing the work for them. As for the bags, does them charging me make the groceries cheaper? No! Apart from the fact that the plastic lined reusable bags are not environmentally friendly. You'd have to use them a thousand times (somebody do the research for the exact number) to ward off the effects of an easy decaying brown paper bag. And they are not hygienic. The Fairfax Wegmans does not charge you, Whole Foods actually pays you, if you bring your own bag. I also find that their produce often is less fresh, and more expensive than even at Whole Foods, like berries for example. I long for the days when Ukrops carried your groceries to your car. That is service!
I love this store! Well to be honest I haven't been to a Wegmans that I didn't love. I drive roughly 22 minutes to get there past many public's, food lions, Walmarts and targets to shop there every week. The store is clean and offers a variety that others stores just do not offer. The staff is very friendly and I've always had quick service. Also the hot food section is amazing and tasty. Obviously I will be back as long as I'm in Virginia.
We walked through this store at first with stars in our eyes. So much to choose from, but mostly pricey. Reminded us of Harris Teeter or Lowes Grocery but on steroids! Picked up some beautiful flowers for our daughter and was intrigued by the salted caramel popped cakes so will give those a try. I could see my budget taking a beating here, but it's nice place to experience and pick up a few items.
Oh, how things change and not for the better. It pains me to write this review, as this Wegman 's location was always my go to for bakery items. In the past, the fresh donuts, muffins, breads, etc., were a treat worth the 30 minute drive. Now: donuts are stale/hard, all varieties we loved are no longer available, the service people behind the counter absolutely do not care about hearing opinions or helping you. So very sad! Won 't be making this drive anymore.
This is such a fabulous grocery store. Huge variety of products. Everything looks fresh and clean. It reminds me of supermarkets in Europe. Every time I'm in Charlottesville I visit. Wish there was an equivalent to this in San Diego.
