I would normally shop at Harris Teeter’s at Foxchase Center in Alexandria Virginia but since Kroger has bought them out the store has went to hell in a hand basket. Kroger immediately replaced all of the workers with Union ghetto trash. A lot of the store employees have tats all over their arms and many women in the age range of 30 to 40 years old have these disgusting tats as well. Harris Teeter is now a really dirty store and if you go later in the day its even worse. The clientele is just as bad of late. I see many groups of Amish teens and I waiting for a flash mob to hit that store at any minute. I used to get food from the salad bar but not anymore since it’s always dirty and nobody cleans the store or the self serve scanner where you lay your food and the full service conveyer belts are just as bad. Really, I don’t want to get food poisoning or the latest third world disease. I got sick last year from that food bar and haven’t touched it since. Maybe, once a week they had some guy come through the store at night with that machine and do the floors but that’s about it as far cleaning. I have several gift cards from Whole Food in Old Towne Alexandria so I have been shopping there. Oh my gosh, I won’t touch the food bar since I have seen many young Amish males with tats all over stand there and literally eat from the food bar. Seriously, I watched this one guy pick up a container fill it with a little food and stand there and eat it and fill it again during weekday rush hour which is a busy time in that store. He and a buddy of his were dining for free. Gross! He left the store when I did and we basically headed in the same direction except he turned off into the section 8 housing complex in Alexandria. So yes, Whole Foods is overrated and a lot of ghetto trash stops by the hot food bar and eat for free. It’s not like any employee in that store is going to try to stop them because all of the male employees look like a bunch of girly ass boys. A lot of ghetto trash shops there as well. Tells you a lot about how the taxpayers are being scammed by abuses and theft in the food stamp program.
That’s interesting about Kroger and Harris Teeter. In Colorado, Kroger bought the King Soopers chain a few years ago, and King Soopers is comparable to Harris Teeter in terms of merchandise quality.
Not much changed after the buyout. A few Kroger branded items were introduced, prices were lowered even more to compete with the local Walmarts and the checkout lines were fully staffed. Kings still has the best produce and best and most helpful service of any grocery store in Colorado, and their stores are absolutely jam packed to the rafters with shoppers, unlike the Safeways, which have only a small to moderate number of shoppers. Kings is comparable to Walmart in pricing, while maintaining MUCH better quality and service.
