Giant - LOVE THEIR SHRIMP TEMPURA ROLL (CRUNCHY)

Needed to make a quick stop before heading to an event to grab some water and snacks to hold me…read moreover for the day. My intentions were to go to a competitor up the road, but saw this first. I figured I would pull in here and get it done. That way I could continue on my way fairly easily. I can confirm what one reviewer said. the parking lot here feels way too small for the location. I was here early morning and it was already nearly jampacked. I was lucky to find a parking spot and ran inside. Before I go too much into that, I wanted to touch on when I came back out. That was when I noticed that there was a broken glass bottle in the spot I took. I was lucky it didn't puncture my tire. Inside, I just did a real quick once through. I have never been in this location before. The store is laid out rather nicely and every aisle is well marked as to what is in every aisle. It made it easy for me to find things I wanted to look at. I came across a few deals and grabbed what I wanted. I made my way to the self checkouts and this is where I got a bit frustrated. One of the items, that I got two of, would not scan. No matter what I did, I could not get it scanned. I had to type the item in. Not once, but twice. Halfway through putting the second one in, it hit me with a message and made me have to go back and start over. All the while the employee sat there and watched me. Whatever, I came here and got what I wanted, even though it took longer than it should have.

Love the layout. It's well stocked and clean ... definitely an improvement from before. Today's…read morevisit was for a Father's Day card and a gift card. I assumed maybe 20 minutes but it ended up being double that ... closer to 40 minutes. That's my biggest complaint and reason for avoiding this location. It's always sooo flipping crowded, which is obviously good for them but a nuisance for customers. Also, it's sooo flipping hard to get in and out of the parking lot. Haven't quite figured what day or time is best to shop here. Anybody have any suggestions? LMK.

So I frequent this store a lot and actually like it. However, tonight as I walked in with my fiancé…read moreto get one small item around 9:29pm there was something we did not like. The hours say this store closes at 10pm, and again we walked in at 9:29pm. I'm not sure what the issue was with one of the young ladies working during this shift but there was obviously no self-checkouts open (like usual as of lately) so unfortunately yes it means we had to let you check us out. But the female behind the counter who had what appeared to plaits or braids in her hair with a skully cap went behind the counter as we walked up but had her back to us and huffed and puffed several times to show her irritation that we came to the checkout counter. Then proceeded to continue doing so with her back turned to us, and as the customer (and yes I've worked in customer service retail before) I should not have to make an announcement to you that I'm standing here at the counter. As if her attitude and passive aggressiveness wasn't enough, she then proceeded to say, "So y'all just going to stand there and ain't gon say anything?" I just looked at her and gave her a look that showed I'm not entertaining her ignorance. Then she said, "Okay was that it? " and we said, "Yes." and of course she continues on with the attitude and then says, "Okay.... have a good night " after she rang us up. Again I wasn't going to dignify her ignorance with a response. But I am writing this review so management can know one of the young ladies that worked that current shift tonight needs to be reprimanded and she definitely needs to be retrained on what GOOD customer service is because that clearly was not it at all; I have definitely always experienced better customer service from other workers there during the day shift and the night shift, but this is the first time I experienced extreme rudeness from start to finish. Again I've worked in customer service and retail and I understand it can be a frustrating job and it could be long days for people, however if you're going to project your negative mood and attitude onto the customers then maybe that's not the job for you and don't show up to work. This is another reason I agree with what other customers have said about the self checkout lines; if customers they're going to have to be dealing with disrespect like that on a regular basis then the self checkout lines need to be open for us to check ourselves out in peace.

Not a bad store to pick up some small items, especially if you aren't in the mood for Walmart or…read morethe other big box stores. I found everything I needed with little hassle and was greeted very politely by at least one or two employees. They only have one cashier usually so bring your patience. And, the white fellow with all the tattoos licks his fingers to get the bags loose....wasn't fond of that. But, luckily he went on his break by the time I reached the register. Overall, not a bad place to grab a few essentials. Update: I found some foreign particles in my Gain washing powder. And, the candy I bought was old and expired. I went back to the store to exchange and the manager initially refused to return my money. My husband had attempted to give her the details but apparently wasn't clear. After a somewhat heated exchange the manager Ms. Matthews allowed an exchange which I was very grateful for considering I did not have my receipt only a copy of the exchange in my bank records. It was all good in the end. I will say, I won't buy any food from this location. I'm sure the bug or whatever it was slipped in through the manufacturing process. Also, the store is extremely dirty. It needs a good deep cleaning. Management will return your items at their discretion but seem to be reasonable and professional.

We were in the area visiting family and my daughter took us to Miller Farms. Good selection of…read morefruits and vegetables, including a wide variety of potatoes. Large selection of meats, especially pork products. They were unfortunately out of double yolk eggs which we were curious to try. The bakery section was excellent, especially since they had a no sugar added apple pie that turned out to be delicious. We also bought donuts for the family. Not sure if we'll ever be in Maryland again, but will stop at Miller Farms if we do.

I visited the nursery section only and the variety was impressive. I found most of what I was…read morelooking for which was a win. However the service was very hit or miss. The woman who checked us out was an absolute delight, warm, funny, and exactly what you hope for at a local farm stand. Unfortunately my experience in the herb section was the opposite. When I asked about strawberry plants and was told they didn't have any, I mentioned I was a first time gardener and asked if she could recommend something beginner friendly. Her response was essentially "just pick something, all you have to do is water them." When I explained again that I was new and looking for guidance, she told me she couldn't help me. As a first time gardener trying to learn, that kind of dismissiveness was discouraging. If it weren't for the lovely woman at checkout, I likely wouldn't return. I ended up going to Ed's Plant World in Brandywine where the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful to a beginner. The difference was night and day. That said, I'm giving 4 stars because the place is really awesome in terms of selection and variety. The woman in the herb section may have just been having a bad day. It's absolutely worth checking out.
