"I am surprised, sire. You are a God, and yet you fear my weapons?" Diana remarks playfully as she removes her tiara. "Curiosity rules this more than fear, I'd say," Hades responds tersely. "Better?" the last Amazon inquires, having shed her armor. "Do you think I can't smell an enchanted pouch? The magic coming off that thing might as well have cartoonish stink lines. Empty it." Soon, three magic lassoes, including the glowing, blood-red, Nemesis Lasso, are coiled harmlessly on the floor; and the origin story of how the Nemisis Lasso came to be, lushly painted by Mattia De Iulis, begins. Unfortunately, I must report that, at the Harris Teeter nestled in Maple Lawn Marketplace in Fulton, Maryland, you will not have the opportunity to purchase an enchanted lasso made from blood willingly given by Prometheus and unwillingly drawn from the last remaining basilisk. You will, however, find almost all of the staples every twenty-first-century family requires, barring a mad rush by shoppers to prepare for an impending snowstorm. Vibrant strawberries and blueberries, lush, not-quite-ripened, green bananas, and organic cucumbers, not to mention party supplies, deli-made croissant bread, coffee, teas, and bottled water are just a few of the necessities you could purchase, along with seasonal displays of stuffed squishies to bring cheer to kids of all ages. This isn't our favorite Harris Teeter, but it will do in a pinch.

The guy was rude and said no find a 24 hour CVS. You never know what people are going through. They could be fighting serious illnesses, and need their medicine. I wish the staff had a little bit of grace and caring but they don't. I will now take my medication to another pharmacy. I'm done with CVS.

We had the Thanksgiving seasonal sandwich and the Italian and they were both incredible. They were balanced, filling, and worth the money. The grocery store in general is okay. The customer service is very slow and inconvenient. They have lots of cool different items that you can't get in other places. We don't come here regularly, but our kids love the train, the car shopping carts with steering wheels, and the fact that their bathrooms have stools to make things accessible. We love the garlic Tuscan bread at the bakery too and their variety of seltzer flavors.

Representing 2019, W is for Wegmans. As my girlfriend & I have commented on some occasions…read moreparticularly when we've gone to grocery store together is they are all annoying, no perfect store. Wegmans at 3-stars is definitely above median as far as grocery stores go, but I have my complaints about them in spite of some solid positives. Only ones get greater than 3-stars would be Lidl in Columbia & Harris-Teeter in Fulton & Laurel have been positive experience, but HT prices average pretty high. When I've mentioned I'm going or went to Wegmans for groceries, people often comment they are expensive. While Wegmans isn't as cheap as Aldi, Lidl, or Wal-Mart, prices are a mixed bag here with some deals & would say cheaper than Harris-Teeter on average. I think even crappy grocery store Giant is no cheaper than Wegmans, & Safeway runs on expensive side too. In late 2010's, my experiences at Wegmans was mainly buffet mostly at Columbia location but also had been to other locations. My office is near Columbia one, so it was an occasional lunch option when I wanted to do buffet. In 2019, I believe buffet was $9.99/lb. I'd carefully load up, & the price would get to double digits, maybe like $13 or 15. One time I had work travel to Largo, MD in a prior company near Wegmans over there in 2013 or 2014, may have been $8.99/lb then. I was starving at 2:30 PM that day & really loaded up with a ton of delicious food, & I was horrified when my total was like $21 in 2013-2014. I forked up money, but was upset but then a little less upset after pigging out on all the delicious food. Mac n' cheese, various meats, rice, etc. are all yummy. One noteworthy lunch break from my office was on Monday, December 30, 2019. Parking garage was wet from cars coming in from rain, & I slipped landing on my back! I hurt my back. Thankfully, my New Year Day 2020, I was doing a lot better, but those last few days of 2019 weren't best. When Covid hit, buffet went away, but it came back by 2022. In July 2022, I was at a new Wegmans in Alexandria & was shocked when I saw $14.99/lb for buffet. I was going to do, but I opted not to as I couldn't justify such a high price. I think I might've done pizza slices, which were pretty good, & if it wasn't then, I know I had their pizza before at sometime. I just remembered my friend complained about her burger. I never got a burger at Wegmans before, but to be fair, she is very fickle when it comes to food quality & service issues at restaurants. Like a 4-star restaurant experience might be a 2-star experience for her, but I do appreciate she speaks up for herself & politely complains to server when sometimes isn't right for her. I think I did fork over $14.99/lb one time in 2024, but I had to be very careful not to overdo it at high prices, & think I paid like $17 in total. In more recent years, I've used Wegmans more as a viable grocery store option most commonly Columbia location, which is my closest location from my home in Russett, western Anne Arundel County, but also occasionally Gambrills one. One of the big positives of Wegmans is there is a huge variety of food in pretty much every category. I've gotten a wide variety of foods & even things I'm not thinking to look for or wouldn't be able to find at some other grocery store. Store is pretty clean & like model train that goes around above dairy area; it's a nice touch. I have friend from Buffalo, who loves Wegmans, as they started in western New York. Even in Maryland, if you're a Buffalo Bills fan, you can buy Bills clothes here. Thankfully, you can also buy Ravens gear too. On April 8, 2024, a group of us viewed total solar eclipse in Rochester, NY. Reason for Rochester as opposed to Buffalo, Cleveland, or other areas that had eclipse was one friend was born in Rochester, so held a special place in his heart. He showed us his childhood home & also mentioned how Wegmans was established in Rochester. Checked online now, year established was 1916. My biggest complaint occurred two consecutive visits in late 2025-early 2026. First time I had gotten a small percent of grocery shopping done in there when I discovered they had no turkey bacon. You want pork bacon, regular turkey, chicken, beef, seafood, etc., tons of variety, but no turkey bacon. I was annoyed & decided to abandon the couple of items I already got telling an employee & rushed to Weis closing at 9. Perhaps a month later, I told my girlfriend about last time their lack of turkey bacon. I said we are going straight to that area, & if they don't have we leave. They didn't have. I asked a worker who checked back but confirmed none. I told the guy they lost about $100 in business & to tell management it was bad. On Thursday, 1/22 before Ice/Snowstorm on 1/25, a lot was picked over but I managed as they have enough variety of things where I didn't get my 1st choice but I made do. Overall, Wegmans is a mixed experience.

I shop at this location while I am at work or on my way to and from work because it's very convenient. On this particular occasion I stopped in just to get some air fresheners for my car and I noticed they had Lysol in stock. Since Covid started it's very hard to find Lysol so I grabbed two cans of it. They limit the amount of certain items due to limited availability and high demand. This is common for most drug stores and grocery stores. The store was clean has a very similar layout to any other CVS. They had a lot of items in stock but I noticed their refrigerated beverages section was a little bit lacking. They didn't have a very wide variety. The staff was very friendly. They were very engaging and humorous as I checked out and it made the shopping experience just a little bit better. A good location and I will definitely be back.

Either they don't offer more than one flavor or the app isn't updated with the options. So I get the basic chicken. Rotisserie, no. Baked, yes. But baked well, no. It's lightly baked and it's dry, tough although supposedly just made that morning. Like, it's yellow, not even brown. Seasoned, no. It's just chicken. The skin was not even edible. It was tough.. kinda muscular like. It was the blandest hospital grade protein in the world. I eat it with bbq sauce. The flavor & texture is so off that my body rejects it. I try again the next day, same. Just thrown up. This is not real chicken. I don't know who sources it but this is not real. I knew I was taking a chance since I get my protein from a small local farm but this... straight in the trash. I ended up eating can of sardines. Imagine having abdominal surgery with difficulty walking, ordering a chicken to eat off of for a few days and get sent something completely inedible clearly made from a 3D printer. So it requires you to get up and move around more and figure out a new plan of action... mind you, you are already on disability so funds are low. It should be illegal to sell food like that.
