I have mixed feelings writing this because parts of my experience were lovely, but the management…read morecompletely ruined it. I've lived in Raleigh for 14 years, and while I've enjoyed a few things from The Fresh Market before, I had never tried their bakery items. When I saw them on the Too Good To Go app, I decided it was the perfect excuse to run out and try it. My first two interactions were fantastic--the lovely elderly woman in the bakery and the sweet cashier checking me out were absolutely amazing and treated me with genuine kindness. However, the front-end manager (I believe her name was Tip or Tiff) completely ruined the experience. Her demeanor was an absolute deterrent. In an interaction that lasted less than three minutes, she hounded the cashier, repeating four or five times: *"Make sure you watch her scan it on the app."* The first time she said it, I thought nothing of it--just standard store process. But repeating it aggressively that many times while I, a Black customer, am just standing there rubbed me entirely the wrong way. To make matters worse, I had also picked up a granola bar to purchase. The manager came over *again*, hounding the girl: *"What are you doing? I have to make sure. Did you actually see her scan it?"* I felt incredibly sorry for the poor cashier, and frankly, I felt targeted. It is deeply frustrating to still deal with people acting like I don't belong in spaces where I absolutely do--and it's even more disheartening when that energy comes from another minority. If I had known I'd be treated with that level of baseline suspicion, I wouldn't have even spent money on the granola bar. That manager's behavior completely turned me away from ever spending my money at this store again. I truly hope this is a lesson for her in how she treats people. To the sweet cashier and the wonderful woman in the bakery, thank you for being decent human beings--I hope you both have an amazing day.

I love Lidl. What you see is what you get with this place. While I primarily shop at other grocery…read morestores, I am often in Lidl to find some specialty product that I miss from my time in Germany. During the Christmas season, one or two visits to Lidl is a must!

You can either purchase bags to put your groceries in or bring your own. We were on a time crunch and luckily found the potato salad in the first aisle that we went down.

The tuna sub was fantastic, the pasta salad was delicious, fried chicken was so good and had an unusual mild spice mix that was a hit. Bought the banana pudding and chocolate cake to take to a friend and she loved both. The store is spotless, well lit and easy to navigate - some grocery stores feel so cramped, but Publix doesn't have that feel. The deals were great, too! Buy one get one free on numerous items! Plenty of parking, too.

Order ahead of time online and they'll have it ready for you. Can't beat that!

BEWARE, DON'T SHOP HERE!!! I have shopped at this location…read morefor years, and I have normally had a very pleasant experience. But lately when picking up groceries that have been ordered online......there has been a very obvious pattern developing. If an item is on sale, such as buy a certain number and get a certain number free.....the store will "conveniently" be short of one item so that you don't qualify for the sale and they charge you full price for the rest of said items. Secondly and more frustrating, we are now getting numerous EXPIRED items, or DAMAGED / OPENED items.....that they clearly could NOT sell in the store. This is NOT just happening to my groceries, but also to MANY of my neighbors in our nearby community. At first I thought nothing of it, but now after talking with many of my neighbors and it happening SEVERAL times...it's clearly a SCAM to make MORE PROFIT. I have posted this on several online forums and reported this to the Better Business Bureau providing them with dated receipts and photos of the goods in question. You should be ASHAMED of yourselves. There are plenty of nearby options other than this criminal establishment. You have now lost SEVERAL customers due to your petty schemes and scams.

Last thing in the world I want to do is complain about Lowes Foods in Clayton, NC. this location…read morehas been a good "go to" store for many years as we live relatively close by. Several complaints, all in 2026: Had to take back toothpaste that appeared it "might" have been opened and scotch taped over. No problem, the young lady was very helpful and took care of it. Great Customer Service. Some negatives: Four different occasions the broccoli crowns had grit/sand in them even after being washed. The worst part was the deli broccoli salad had grit in them, and this was unacceptable as this was a dish set aside for visiting guests. Could not eat it. Did not take it back but did alert customer service. Today 5/14/2026 was just the latest kicker. Picked up some "Cherry" labeled turnovers to take home. Upon taking one to sample, I discover that they were Apple. I head back to the store, receipt in hand and instead of replacing the box, I simply wanted my money back. $5.99 plus tax coming to $6.39. The young man attended to me decided that I should only receive $6.35 due to a penny shortage. How much trouble would it have been to simply give back to me $6.40? That does not even pay for the gas trip there and back and the hassle. Normally, I would just let this go, but I have seen this location "slipping' in my onion as of late. I can understand mistakes and forgive them easily, BUT I will not tolerate bad customer service. I have left out a few things, but this shall suffice for now. Thank you Lowes for being a trusted service in the past, but not this year. I endeavor to take my business to Harris Teeter on 42 east or the Walmart. I have had it.

The package foods were a little bit, disappointing for me; in terms of ingredient quality and price.

Today I was able to find all but one of the items I needed for tomorrow's dinner and when I saw the owner I asked him if he could direct me to where I could find it and he was rude when answering because he said "I don't know and I don't know anything", well, I thought to myself he must be having a tough time unloading the truck and it wasn't a good time for me to ask. Maybe it is cultural but if you are in Rome... I went to the register to pay and sure enough he walked right behind me so I asked him if he was busy, "I am very busy all the time" "I don't need the money, I am only here for my customers" so I said, you should hire help and his response was "nobody wants to work, no matter how much I offer them" sure, who is going to want to work for you with that attitude. Am I not a customer? if the owner has no motivation and no desire to help a patron he should sell the business or call Marcus Lemonis to straighten the mess starting with the name Lost the sale of one item and lost a customer, I will not be going back
