Wegmans

Wegmans is my go-to grocery store for its quality, variety, and customer service. The produce is always fresh, the bakery offers delicious breads and desserts, and the meat and seafood selections are top-notch. Their store-brand products often rival name brands at better prices. I love their prepared foods, especially the sushi and hot bar. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the stores are always clean and well-organized. While prices can be slightly higher, the quality and experience make it worth it.

This was one of the worst shopping experiences I’ve ever had. I went to the deli just to get some prosciutto sliced, and the employee flat-out refused to do it — no explanation, no apology, nothing. When I asked for a manager, I expected someone to actually fix the problem. Instead, the manager brushed me off and said he would “email his boss.” Seriously? That’s not customer service — that’s just laziness and attitude. If your deli staff can’t handle a simple request and your manager doesn’t care enough to help, that says a lot about how this place is run. I’ll take my business elsewhere, and I suggest others do the same until they learn how to treat customers with basic respect.

I like wagmans. Most employees are professional and courteous but some are not wagmans management give a stern warning to its employees stop to use their personal cell phone at a work place specifically the once at the register. Thanks

Wegmans is a great grocery store. Their produce is always super fresh. Their bakery offers delicious products that are made with real food ingredients and not loaded with chemicals. Their salad and food bar has delicious options. Their florist department has the freshest flowers ever. Their meat, fish and seafood is of excellent quality. They have an extensive offering of good quality cheese. Wegman’s own brand of products are delicious. I love that they put their Wegman’s brand of peanut butter in a glass jar.

Wow! In 2025, we are still dealing with discrimination! The Karen with the buzz cut in self checkout had the absolute WORST attitude. I needed assistance with my transaction in self checkout, and was rudely redirected to the customer service counter. They exchanged words and then she proceeded to say to another employee, “Thats what THEY do”! Ma’am excuse me ??? I will NEVER shop here again! And will be following up with a formal complaint with the company!

Originally from Rochester, I was so happy when Wegmans came to DC! The prices are great, there is an awesome selection of fresh prepared food, bakery items and wine, local/trustworthy produce, and overall a pleasant atmosphere. Love it!

A great grocery store that has everything you could ever imagine. It's a good idea to take your own recycled bags.

Samantha made the checking out experience professional efficient and friendly. I forgot to validate the parking ticket and she asked for the ticket herself on her own. Will definitely shop again.

What a disappointment. Shopped on Friday, mid morning. Old wilted greens, prices are higher than at Whole Foods. Staff only knows their section, not the whole floor. ( I didn't see the price for ciclamen pots that were in large numbers in the middle of the veggies section. Ask a lady who was stuffing a shelf near it, she had no clue, said I need to go to the fliers section and find a lady who works there and she would tell me the price. Seriously? How difficult is it to display a price instead of your customers walking half the store to find someone who may know the price. Ridiculous. With Whole Foods, Trader Joe and newly opened Lidl, I don't think I would want to shop at this Wegmans location any longer

Ordered my cakes here plenty of times . Out of 4 times I've ordered, only 1 was done not to my liking. The cake was good , jut the picture on it wasn't . My favorite is Strawberry YUMMY!!! Service was good. Never had bad service !

I honestly don't know how Wegmans can be less than a 5 star review. This grocery store is so fantastic on many levels. The food here is so delicious with it's many food stations, especially the Chinese food bar. My kids can't get enough of it. The service is on point. In particular, this shop has a fantastic wine shop. The wine curator is a massive fan of French wines and has extensive knowledge of the best wines from the French region. He also can talk about other areas, but France is 100% his expertise. I mean, the French do know their wines. The ambiance of the store is welcoming. I love the layout and selection. I'm about a 15 minute drive from the shop. If I was closer, I'd be here every day of the week! lol. There is ample parking and I always feel so happy to shop here. I grew up in the northeast and love finding all the products I enjoyed while growing up.

First time ever in a Wegmans. I enjoyed browsing through all of the departments. I thought the flower department was beautiful. I couldn't believe the produce section -- carrots had their own heading and section. Lettuce too. Special beef aging area. Charcuterie section. Asian food bar. Sushi. Cheeses. Bakery. If I lived here you probably couldn't drag me away. I'd make a day of it. There is a Wegmans close to my town. I will inspect it and report back my findings.

Obsessed with this supermarket, they have everything and more. What I loved the most is that they have high quality prepared food ready to go. The cheese platters are great, the roasted rosemary chicken too. I also really like that they have guides of where everything is hanging on the corners of the aisles. They have a huge wine selection, produce is beautiful and prices are average.

I bought prepackaged lamb chops from the Wegmans on Wisconsin Avenue and when I opened them that same day at home, they smelled bad. I returned them the next day and Wegman's says they don't accept returns and don't give refunds for perishables. I complained and started writing this review and they gave me my $15.88 back. I will not shop here again given that their policy is you hv to beg for a refund for spoiled meat.

Always well stocked and clean! The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable as well! Food is always fresh and the prepared meals are better than 5 star restaurants. No other grocery store compares with Wegmans!

I absolutely love Wegmans !!!! And this location happens to have an amazing alcohol section so it is definitely one of my favorites. They literally have liters of tequila for $50. You can't beat that!!! They also have a great hot bar, burger bar, sandwich bar, sushi bar, and pizza bar! I've tried them all and honestly have no complaints. There is also plenty of spaces for you to sit down and enjoy your meal if that's what you choose to do. I also love the quick meals they have put together in here. I got a seafood boil for $30 and can't wait to add my seasonings to it later. I also love their cheese, and olive section. They have so many amazing cheeses, nuts, and olives. The fresh fruits and veggies are also a plus here and there is so much meat. I love fresh meat and they keep an abundance of it. Lots of organic and healthy options as well. The bakery is to die for with all the yummy cakes, and desserts. My personal favorite are the double chocolate chip cookies! There's also a great plant/flower section with lots to pick from. If you're a plant lover like me check out that section towards the back of the store. For the most part anything you need they have. Lol. The store is very clean and pretty big for it to be randomly placed in the city. They have onsite parking just get your ticket validated for free before you leave out the store.

My sister finally took me here! I've heard so much about this grocery store. I love to cook, so it's always fun exploring different grocery stores that we don't have in California. I don't think anything will measure up to HEB in Texas, but it's good to check out nevertheless. :) This place is clean, new and definitely tailors to people who don't have a lot of time to cook. Lots of prepared food, and just from what I've tasted like their crab cakes (very reasonably priced at $7 for a huge one), and small tray of lobster Mac and cheese for $28, their food is better than Whole Foods. They had different size trays of charcuterie boards as well. It was right before NYE, so lots of choices for entertaining. I would have loved to grab a sandwich and walk up to the International Baccalaureate grounds and sit by the enormous Christmas tree up on street level. It was such a nice day when we went. Prices are pretty good, but I wasn't able to find a few things that I needed. Had to go to Safeway for that. 18 count eggs were less than $3!!! Omg I'd shop here all the time. Parking is easy and they do validate. My sister lives about 15 minutes from here and my favorite DC bakery is a block away, so I will have my sister take me back here next time I visit DC.

This review is strictly for the Burger Bar in their hot foods section! I got the Maple Onion Burger, only $11, coming in a box with a fun Burger Bar logo design. I think it's a pretty good deal for the area, if you don't want to go to a fast food joint. Among the eateries that cook food to-order in Wegmans, I also think it's one of the tastiest. The Wegmans has a large dining area inside, so plenty of space to eat your freshly made burgers. There's also a sink area to wash your hands! It's a nice place for a quick stop before or after your Wegmans grocery journey.

The café area exclusively shows Fox news on the TV. No option to change the channel or turn the volume off/down. Have complained multiple times with no change.

I love this store. It feels like a less expensive version of Whole Foods (with less plant based choices). There are lots of prepared food items (pizza, soup, hot bar stars like macaroni & cheese, etc) that you can enjoy while sitting in the dining area. You can charge your phone at most of the tables. The plugs by the booths are hidden. If you have a small child with you, have them crawl under the table & plug your cord in. Otherwise, you will have to feel for the plug or look under the table. The bakery area has great bread and festive cookies. The store validates up to two hours of parking.

Food highest quality, multiple options Service everyone friendly and helpful Ambience clean well lighted and large aisles

As you probably know the Wegmans in Rockville opened yesterday and it caused quite a stir with many many people crowding the aisles. I know that will die obviously with time but today I brought my son to check it out and he and I both got food from the wing bar and the Asian bar. He got six chicken wings and some macaroni and cheese and I got a Takeout container of Chinese food. It was $34. I think there were six chicken wings, a small portion of macaroni and cheese and with mine I got five different types of chicken, some rice and an eggroll. I have to say $19 for basically one portion of Chinese food..... very overpriced!! It was all very bland and looked like Chinese food, but it tasted like it really hadn't been marinated or I don't know what. It just tasted very bland and since I paid double what it should cost, I don't really understand why I would have cause to get anything from their prepared food section again.

This Wegman's is obviously smaller than other suburban stores but I expect City should have Wegman's as well and this is how Wegman's should be in town. Something was omit such as cut vegetable counter and volume of bigger Wegman's but this is good enough for town life. Though, some items feels like little more expensive than other stores but it's kind of acceptable range. We can get all what's needed here for our patio BBQ or even backyard BBQ party. Many variety of eat-in foods and take out items and big seating spaces in and out is I think so useful. This is in-town location, "Narrow", "Crowded", "Small" and "Higher prices", yes maybe true but it is the location and no compare to big, wide and cheaper country side. Basement parking was plenty and always available and free with a validation. Wines and beers are available but also whiskey, spirits etc, all there.

Save yourself the trouble and drive to McLean if you can. Those who have lived here long enough remember the jokes about different DC Safeways. Well the equivalent of this wegman's is "Soviet Safeway" because it is always empty and horribly stocked. You'd think a brand with a rep like Wegman's would not fall to horribly low standard, but this is hands down the WORST Wegmans I have ever seen .

Super nice layout of the store and it's always clean. Employees are always super nice and helpful. I mainly go for the hot food bar and it's always pretty good. If you have a chance and it's still in season grab that pumpkin roll!!

Second time ordering sandwiches and this time they were an hour late. I called and they never mentioned a technical issue but that is the response received from management

Always friendly staff available to help when I need assistance. I love their donuts they are so good. I often get their wings and subs which are great as well.

I think I have found my go-to grocery store. I have heard the hype over the years about Wegmans, and I have been to Wegmans before. However, over the past few years, my experiences at other local grocery stores have been quite disappointing. So walking into this Wegmans this morning was quite refreshing. Clean, well lit, no smells, fully stocked, fresh produce, adequately staffed. I haven't seen a grocery store like this in a while. Will definitely be going back. The only downside is that it's not near a metro station. There are, however, buslines nearby.

The best seafood selection, meat and cheese selection in the city hands down and they sell liquor and beer. But there are some drawbacks too. The hot bar/salad bar still needs management attention. I visited mid-afternoon on a Sunday and the hot bar was half empty. I posted pictures so unfortunate. The prices are also hit and miss with a lot of price gouging. For example, a single bagel is $1.29 where nearby stores run about $0.79...that's 63% higher for you math nerds. But then to balance large cans of crushed tomatoes are 2 for $3 which is a great deal so better to go with a price conscious mind set and select those items with a good deal and avoid impulse purchases. The parking situation is still embarrassing and off putting, but in fairness to store probably a greedy landlord situation, however the checkout girl asked if I needed a validation which is a positive development because if you don't get validated you get slapped with an $8 charge. WTF? Other stores just print a validation sticker with every receipt, so Wegmans could improve...

If you're looking for organic, fresh "from-farm-to-table" produce and locally sourced foods, this is your store. I love their organic line of frozen veggies in individual use bags for quicker consumption. Everything is well thought out and executed. From presentation to selection, you'll be impressed. I drive distances to shop at one of their locations because I know once I get there, the store will not disappoint. You get quality without the hefty price.

This was my second experience here. I placed an order online for curbside pickup thinking it would expedite my shopping experience but it seems there's still a need for improvement with this process. Instructions are provided when you select the pickup option but it still was a little confusing to me as to where to go and how to get there. The garage is like a labyrinth but there are signs to guide you to the curbside pickup area. You're supposed to check in and provide the number of the parking spot you're in but my phone service must've been shoddy because it did not recognize I was there for the app to give me the option to check in...it thought I was still 2 minutes away. (I can't be the only AT&T customer to have run into this problem) The signs in the parking spots instruct you to call a phone number if you have any trouble so I did, but nobody answered! It went to a voicemail that hadn't been setup. I had to call the direct number to the store and speak to someone with customer service. Thankfully, I wasn't placed on hold for an eternity and she was friendly and let someone know I was outside. It took a few minutes but someone finally came out and loaded everything in the car. This experience wasn't a deal breaker for me so I'll be back. I just won't be a frequent customer and know what I'm up against until improvements are made.

The creme brûlée cheesecake was very good, but it is a very, very small slice. The gingerbread cake may be the most moist cake I've ever eaten. It is worth it! However, it has too much icing, which overtakes and mutes the gingerbread flavor. That being said, don't skip it! Make sure you get it!!

Yep I know most of this stores products are pricy. But... The pizza is a good price and amazing! Also the Intense Brie is fantastic. Got to go through the store and you will find some high quality products at a good price. Get sliced pepperoni there. Breakfast sausages. Steak. Service is also great. ​ Oh and one more thing, their chocolate chip cookie brownie is worth the trip by itself.

Wegmans is by far the best grocery store chain. Nothing comes close. So many people are thrilled that Wegmans has opened up in the area. There is ample garage parking here. Prices are on par with other grocery stores in the area. Checkout lines are extremely quick. This store has everything, even Wagyu beef. Some of the produce was not great when I visited, but I expect improvements shortly. Everyone should visit Wegmans.

There were 4+ people working the subs bar and it took 30 minutes for 3 of us to get our sandwiches made. One employee literally stood there with her hands at her side staring at us while her one coworker helped us in between mobile orders. Our orders were not complicated and took less than a minute each to make but we had to wait while they ignored us. We have limited time for our lunch break and this ate up almost all of our time.

Sadly I hate to agree that this has become the worst Wegman's ever. They hired good people, offered mostly good quality food (the beef and lamb should be avoided), and then apparently decided that regular consumer customers were much less lucrative than Instacart buyers. And the too narrow aisles are regularly blocked by loads of more to be shelved that the instacart buyers barrel through while knocking into the poor lone customers. There are so few cashiers, with no express lanes for example for fewer than 15 items, that it takes 20 minutes or more in a line while buyers push 1, 2, or even 3 packed carts ahead f you. Self checkout is now a necessity and a nightmare, with constant missing Codes freezing the machines with a help on the way announcement, when usually no helper is available. The other critic is right, go to Mc Lean Wegmans to see how much the DC store is now the poor stepchild of this company.

I had a 12 hour comp parking ticket given by one of the organizers for the festival they had When I was leaving the parking garage, the guy said I have to pay 30 bucks. Did not even acknowledge the comp ticket and kept saying only an hour and half is comped. No sir, this was a special 12 hour comp ticket given to certain performers Garage is such a scam and rip off

Incredibly rude and lazy management. They just stand around. They are rude and do not help the customers. The women at the deli and people in the produce section and meet section are very nice. Same with the sushi counter and the sandwich and prepared meal area. But the managers do not help the cashiers and they are extremely rude if you ask a question. I feel bad for the regular employees. Wegmans should have better oversight over this team.

So this review is specifically for this store. I'm a regular customer of Wegmans in Fairfax and that one as well as the one at Leesburg are five star operations. Unfortunately they cannot convey the same standard in DC. I gave the store four different occasions to make sure that my experience wasn't a " one of " type thing. So for the small positive part, they do offer most of the things that you can get at the other stores but less maybe due to space constraints. The parking lot is fairly large, and yes it's tight but you're in the city so no complaints there. It's fairly easy in and out. This is kind of where things fall apart. One thing I hate to see when I walk into any type of a retail store or when employees are just talking to each other, on their phones, or just doing nothing. I've always been under the idea of if you have time to lean you have time to clean. At every occasion people at different places within the store were just standing there talking to each other or on their phones. That's OK but my issue also is when you ask them a question they almost act like they're doing you a favor by giving you an answer, again this is at Just this location. So they close at midnight, and going there at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, notice that they were out of many things for example in the seafood department, and when I asked them if they had any available, something simple like salmon, they were just say nope. Which I find very interesting because at any other location they would go to the back and just cut a fresh piece. The same thing happened to me at 1 PM, 4 PM and 5 PM three different visits. I can go on and on but the general atmosphere of the store is just not a typical Wegmans, and Safeway and of course Whole Foods employees are much more responsive and friendly towards customers. This place is fine if you know what you need just a run in and grab it but otherwise I wouldn't recommend going here as the prices arent any lower and mostly higher than other places, And employees for the most part could really care less being there.

Maybe they should have waited to open a Wegmans in DC until they were ready to give us the same quality store as the ones in Virginia. The store is much smaller than other Wegmans I've been to over the years and the prices are much higher. I'm used to finding a wide selection and reasonable prices. Not here. In addition, the hot food sections are mediocre compared to other locations. Less variety. Few vegetarian options. Just generally disappointing. Why did they do DC like this? What did we do to Wegmans to deserve this level of disrespect?

I recommend other Wegmans but not this one Very little customer service Beautiful store Empty during lunch I'm sitting in one right now 12 noon empty in the dining area Why??? The prices are absolutely outrageous Salad bar 16 dollars a pound I had I scoop of mac and cheese And 3 onion rings 9 dollars....An absolute disgrace

We live next door and were looking very forward to the new Wegmans! Before doing this review, we went 4 -6 times to see if our initial impressions were confirmed... First the prices are way up there : meat, fish... sky high . Then the produce . The organic and non organic seem mixed up and very hard to find the price .We decided to go once more to try the Asian bar last Friday evening. 45 dollars for 3 smaller eaters and honestly the food didn't seem fresh at all and was so over salted ( yet I do like salt ) that we had no choice but to trash the food. Sadly we will be going back to Giant for most groceries and Whole Foods for the fruits ( better and clearer to know what we are buying ). All the hype for nothing.

My order never arrived. it ruined my dinner. I spent an hour with Instacart and all they could offer was a refund, which did not begin to compensate for my time and trouble. I was never able to speak wit a supervisor.

Disrespectful employees.Spat on at checkout.I don't care to have an Inappropriate. All I said was "I'm downloading the Wegmans App,to see if I can save today"(with a smile). Let it keep happening,I even get disrespected in my own home.I can't wait for the right moment to defend myself.I see why no one will hire me.

I'm not a big fan of huge grocery stores and this place is way too big for me. It's much easier to find things when the store is a reasonable size but here you could be walking around in circles forever and still not find what you are looking for. I think their main feature is the abundance of prepared foods - they do have nice sandwiches and some of the prepared Asian foods are not bad although pricey. The bakery's ok with some good breads but the desserts are disappointing, but they do have a pretty extensive liquor store. Despite the massive store size it doesn't feel spacious. The shopping carts they have seem to be unnecessarily extra wide so people bump into each other a lot which is something that never happened anywhere else. I'll probably only shop there if there is something in particular I can't find elsewhere.

I went back to the new Wegmans on Wisconsin Ave NW to see if it had changed. The first time I was there I was very disappointed. But yesterday I was impressed by how much it had improved. It is nearly up to the standard that I had known from shopping at the New York stores in years past. The shelves were all full, and the people working seemed very helpful. If you go, just remember to get your parking card stamped!

OMG - these early reviews are hilarious! Narrow aisles? Reduced selection? You do realize that this store is on the ground floor of an apartment building and not sitting in a 10-acre field surrounded by parking, right? It is about half the size of a traditional suburban store, but it is still a welcome addition to upper NWDC. For those of us who have had to endure the ordeal of the Wisconsin Ave Giant, or (even more horrific) the Safeway down the street, this Wegmans is a refreshing alternative. I especially appreciate the helpful overview of the liquor department from a shopper who admittedly doesn't drink alcohol. I am familiar with the Wegmans store brands and I think they are all great. The produce department has summer items that I have never seen in any other grocery store. The meat selection in the butcher case and prepackaged section are terrific. I avoid seafood and sushi, so I will keep my commentary to myself on those departments. Haha! I do agree that the price on prepared items is too high. I don't think $13 for one serving of pasta seems like a good value, or something that you would buy for lunch regularly. $23 for the same 'family size' entree seems better if you can get four servings out of it - but not the way my family eats pasta! I think the management should take a look at the pricing on those individual entrees. I think Wegmans has always had an unconventional layout. If they are like every other grocery store, they will keep moving stuff around and hopefully, they will come upon a merchandising flow that seems more intuitive. You do have to pay attention to the endcaps and islands - you may find some cool stuff on those that you might just walk right past. I am willing to give them some more time to get settled and make it all work really well.

I was amazed that this store is rated so poorly. I like it. Yeah, it's expensive, but hey it's DC. The variety and quality are very good, I would say a step above Whole Foods. I don't think that I would shop here regularly for staples and such, but it's great for a quick pickup meal. Store is pretty big, airy, and brightly lit. Parking is abundant and validated. I haven't had that many interactions with the staff, but interestingly other customers have been quite friendly and helpful.

I can say that I understand why Wevmans is voted the best grocery store. From the time I walked through the door , I was greeted by a rep & asked what could they do or direct me to. The buffet & other food stations was on point. From the fresh order sandwich's to the fresh hamburgers & pizza was good. The lounge area had tvs & an ice & water machine. Definitely a place to visit for EXTREMELY FRESH FOODS!!

Very disappointing, especially considering that it's a Wegmans. They often run out of basic items in stock! Makes me not want to give my money to an establishment that does not put in the effort to do the bare minimum. Extremely frustrating and unacceptable. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Wegmans has a cult following, and I really don't get the hype. I appreciated that this store has a manageable size unlike the Glenarden location and a parking lot not designed by someone on LSD (I'm looking at you, Trader Joe's). Once you scratch the shiny surface, you realize this is just another grocery store, but one that gives Whole Foods/Whole Paycheck a run for its money. The prices seem competitive for produce, maybe a bit high for dairy and dry goods, but the meats and seafood are crazy expensive. Prepared foods are right up there too, most of which didn't look very exciting to me, and $13 for a small portion of pasta in tomato sauce seems beyond crazy. After hearing so much excitement about this place, I guess I expected more but I don't think I've found any reason to go out of my way to shop here.

Great food Selections and some good prices on select items, Not everything! But the $ 8 for parking is Ridiculous!.. Smh.. Just dead WRONG!

Surprisingly more expensive compared to other Wegman's (such as at Tysons or Germantown). Wegman's Almond milk is $2.69 vs $1.99 at Germantown. Canned beans are $0.99 vs $0.79. Wegman's ice cream is $3.49 vs $2.49. Additionally the aisles are narrower than the suburban Wegman's. And that garage is not that easy to maneuver through (similar to the Tyson's location). I'll probably stick to the suburban Wegman's and avoid this one.

The brand new Wegmans on Wisconsin takes up the basement of the Fannie Mae building, yet one has to walk around the building to access it on foot. The store has a large prepared food section, offers great flowers and bouquets and an eclectic collection of foods. The cakes and psasry look great,brad appears to be overpricedAlcoholic beferages seem to be a focus area. Despite the large store area, carts get stuck in the aisle, which are a bit too narrow fro two carts to pass comfortable, all the time. Other than very few sale items, everything is more expensive than in other stores. The burger counter is a bust. I tried Danny's Favorite Burger and found a small burger without much dressing; a slice of american cheese, a sprinkle of dill relish that was hard to find, some 'sauce' that didn't contain liquid on the side. No letuce, no tomato, no onion. The bun was totally unremarkable and decidedly not toasted. The burger was probably the size of a MacDonalds burger from 1950 or so. A couple of bites and it's gone. The fries were ok, but the paper bag only reached the top part of the cardboard holder, so was actually much less than one would expect from the packaging. All over, it's nice to have another store in the neighborhood,. If one needs to pre-prepared cakes, burger patties, booze for a surprise party the shop will provide everything one needs, at decent quality and at a cost. Ready to eat food is vastly overprized and not something I will spen money for. Based on my burger experience, I will not spend money on it again. For daily errands Wgman's likely is too pricey and too dificult to access, especially since Whole Foods and Giant are in easy walking distance and Trader Joe's and Safeway a 5 min drive away.

Based on reviews, I've wished for years to have a Wegmans nearby. Then this store opened on Wisconsin Avenue several weeks ago. Wanting to beat the crowd, I came at 6:30 this morning, a half hour after opening. The very first two things I looked for, sushi and breads, showed long empty counters. Staff were working behind the counters, but nothing out yet. I passed two more specialty counters in the same condition. Otherwise, I found almost everything on my list. Then at check-out, only one of the many lines was open. I was fourth with two bulging carts in front of me. I found a manager and told him my disappointments (although I forgot to mention the check-out). He explained that the specialty counters I mentioned are ready by 9:00 or 10:00. I expressed surprise that a retail establishment would open to customers hours before they are ready to service the customers. So if you go to this Wegmans, wait until mid-morning. I probably won't return.

I go 90% for the sushi bar. It's kind of out of the way for grocery runs and is on an awful part of Wisconsin avenue, so I wouldn't be jazzed to go there often. The cafe seating area is usually clean enough as well (like a mall food court). Also they have cheerwine which is a plus.

$10 for a pre-wrapped tuna salad on whole wheat, REALLY?! I've lived in Co, Md, Fl, Ca, Ny, Dc, Nj, Tx and have shopped in many gormet grocery stores over the years; Wegman's is a total disappointment to me after hearing all the hype over the past 6+ months. I left the store without buying anything. Their uninspired venue (IMHO) reminded me of the refurbished Amazon in Glover Park where I also won't shop. If you are not like me, and prefer to spend your income on overpriced (IMHO), uninspired-looking (IMHO) foods, you may love this store. You may be happy to shell out $19 for a dozen meatballs or $11 for a dried-out looking half breast of chicken parm. To be fair, the house-brand, bottled, spring water was $1.18 and Wegman-brand potatoe chips were affordable. The booze section looked promising, but I don't drink alcohol, so perhaps you'll appreciate their selection more than me. Another thing I noticed was that I did not see a single employee handing out prepared-food samples (big mistake) nor did any of the dozens of employee speak to me, Many of the employees I did take note of were instead "yucking-it-up" with one another and in the process, totally ignoring the shoppers. Lastly, they might consider introducting scooters to navigate the expansive and somewhat chaotic (IMHO) floorplan. There is little to no chance that I'll return to the Weg. Luckily, for the "Weg" they don't need my patronage, they will soon have a captive audience of several hundred CityRidge apt dwellers who will gladly pay extra rather than leave the CR "compound" to more judiciously spend their money.
