At the end of the day, I'll keep going to my all time favorite Food Lion.

Arrived and the staff member did not have it ready by 7pm, and in fact, I was told the prescription would not be ready until tomorrow due to the pharmacy being too busy. I just drove from another town for nothing... again. This is the third time this type of service has occurred. Contacting Walgreens now to switch all our family prescriptions from Weis. Also, no longer using Weis as my grocer. Avoid this pharmacy at all costs if you truly need a dependable pharmacy.

Safeway Safeway…read morestore #1616 ran by FRED REISING at 444 WMC Drive Westminster, MD 21158 is the ABSOLUTE WORST GROCERY STORE in all of Carroll County. First off, their prices are the most expensive out of all the stores. Which would be ok I suppose if this was some type of Luxury Grocery store lol. But it is far from that. I have never been in this store... not even ONE TIME When they didn't have MOLDY Strawberries and Raspberries. How can this continue to be a thing at this location? I would never buy produce at this location. Matter of fact, if I were you I would shop at a different store all together. But the real reason I decided to write this review today is because of their SELF-CHECK OUT AISLES. Some time with in the year or maybe last year, Safeway decided to replace the really nice white recyclable bags they had at self check out, with REGULAR PAPER BAGS. They have since been trying to get everyone to pay $0.10 for PAPER BAGS since they made the switch. This is obviously a complete MONEY GRAB on Safeways part. Do you know they are the only grocery store in Carroll County to make their customers pay for PAPER BAGS except ALDI? Food Lion, Giant, Shoppers, Weis, and Target do not charge for paper bags. But Safeway's own accord the charge on your receipt says "Recyclable Bag Fee" which again, they got rid of the good recyclable bags a while bag. You can see by the receipt I have uploaded as of today. SO NOW, Safeway has taken it one step further to really piss off their customers (THEY HATE THEIR CUSTOMERS) -insert new slogan here. They have decided it would be a BRILLIANT idea to PULL ALL of the paper bags from the self-check outs. In place of the bags they now have a printed sign that says "Ask for a bag if you need one" lol. The majority of customers use self check out for a few reasons. 1. It may be faster. 2. They don't like or want to deal with people/staff (which is probably the #1 reason or 3. They can bag the groceries better because most cashiers are completely incompetent. Frankly it could be a mix of all 3. But NOW... not only do you have to pay for the bags and the pleasure of spending your hard earned money at this particular grocery store... but now... as if you were a petulant child have to ask for a bag. "How many bags do you need?" Well how the heck do I know... lol Seriously it's nuts. The other day I heard several pissed off customers around me while I was trying to bag my own groceries. But today takes the cake folks. Today I bought 4 items so I knew I only needed 1 bag, and today they had maybe 500 bags in a grocery cart at the front by self Checkout. So I ring myself out, I select "ONE BAG" and pay for it. In which case the register very loudly states " 10 CENTS". Indicating I paid for the bag. I then went and grabbed 1 bag from the cart and which case I was then accosted by an employee. SIR, YOU CANT DO THAT! YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR THE BAG lol. Now I'm in disbelief so I tell this employee... You watched me ring up the items... you heard that I paid for 1 bag... you saw that I grabbed 1 bag... what seems to be the issue here? She then begins to argue with me and tell me that's not how it works lol. So I tell her that first of all it's absolutely ridiculous that you are changing people for paper bags, and I repeat my prior steps to her. She then tells me to... and I quote... "JUST SHUT UP... SHUT UP... YOU JUST SHUT UP!" I guess I was making absolutely too much sense that those were the only words she could utter. But image being in your mid 40's having to ask for a bag like a child, then have to pay for... and then being told to SHUT UP by an employee? What in the hecmy has happened to this country? She probably the victim too lol. After being told to Shut up and did call her "AN OLD BAG" pun was definitely intended and she starts laughing. Then she snarkily replies "YOU HAVE A NICE DAY" in which i naturally replied "F-OFF". And this was my experience at 9:30am on a Tuesday at Safeway in Westminster. I'm serious... you can't make this stuff up. Absolutely mind-numbing experience. If you want to be treated as a child and heckled at self-checkout.... GO TO SAFEWAY!

Not thinking, ofc we've accidentally bought everyday products like yogurt just to realize they'd already gone bad before we've even gotten them home! Even products labeled to expire at a later date we will open to find they have ALREADY gone bad weeks before they're supposed to (mushy produce, black mold, bad smells, etc). A lot of the stockers are not very friendly and aren't doing their job. On a side note, we've found their supposed "organic" products to sometimes be deceptive as well -with products from well-known everyday brands being THE EXACT SAME as the generic "organic" brands. NOT COOL! We will definitely be looking at other grocery stores going forward.

I don't like how the dairy section is cut up in sections. Butter and cream cheese in one case( back wall) yogurts, cheese over against the side wall. Milk is nowhere near either one. I'm not a fan of their meat. I just think the quality is lower than Weis or Giant ( more on-par with Food Lion). There is a large selection of Hispanic food items, including a small fridge case of Latino cheeses, etc. I have never had a big issue with employees. They are usually pleasant, though sometimes seem tired or bored. A few staff members are always friendly. There are at least five self checkouts and a few cashier manned ones open when I come in. Parking lot can be sketchy at night, especially when vagrants or panhandlers are present. Park close and in a lighted spot after the sun goes down.

Brewers is great and I'll go there as long as I'm local. I'll pay a bit more for a small business, local, "real" feel. Patronize our local businesses before they disappear. Love ya, Brewers!

Then I proceeded up front to get a money order as i put my shopping cart on the side, the cashier came from behind the counter and moved it. i finally went to pay for my items and I asked the guy what is the Store Manager's name and he said he didnt know. What complete mess!!! All these employees need to be sent home including the rude manager. The worse experience ever. If you are in the area, i do not recommend this store. The sad thing in, Im a regular... Disgusting!!

Since I do almost all of the grocery shopping for my household, I knew where prices were really fantastic versus not so much.

They don't have everything like with a big grocery store but what they do have is fantastic. You can also buy clothing here and other things that your mainstream stores don't have. I came here not long before they close so I didn't have a lot of time to look around but I plan to come back soon and I highly recommend coming here and seeing if you like it as much as I did.

I did not purchase anything as I was not super impressed, the star ratings are for its neat & clean appearance, seems organized fairly well, they did have some rare brands that might be hard to find in the regular grocery stores. Don't think it was the bestest decision to sit it that close to Target but hopefully they will develop their own fan base of loyal customers. It was just okay and depending on how desperate my situation I may try them again out of necessity.
