Some of them don't even know it exists! I followed all the directions but they still treated me like a thief when I tried to leave the store. Paid nearly $200 for groceries only to have them make a huge scene and put me on display in front of the store while they verified video footage of me while they had both the receipt and all of the merchandise right in front of them. At that point, I just wanted a refund. I paid for everything, never left the store, all the merchandise was still in the cart, and they still detained me like a criminal. When it was over, out of the four or five employees involved, not one apologized for the misunderstanding. I like shopping at Giant but it's a shame you have to drive out to suburbia to be treated with respect. If they are going to treat people like this, they should just take the Scan It! out of the store. Wasted my time and ruined my day.

I'm giving this store its only five star rating bc after living in this area for more than a decade…read moreit has been the only place to get fresh fruits and vegetables in a food desert. The things that you hear about the environment are relatively accurate but it's not bc the people in the store who work there don't care, it's simply a lack of resources being distributed to this community. This store serves thousands of residents daily without fail.

THE WORST! (profiling, price inflation, expiring food)…read more It takes a lot to get a "1" star out of me, but Compare Foods succeeded with flying colors. Strike 1: I use reusable grocery bags to cut down on the avalanche of plastic bags in my house. As I walk in with my shopping bag, the security guard gets my attention (had in wireless earbuds) and tells me that they do not allow bags and I had to check-in my bag. Fair enough... Not a fan of that policy, but I acquiesce nonetheless. Strike 2: After about ten minutes of shopping, an older black lady, in plainclothes, gets my attention from far down the isle and begins interrogating me. She asks me if I am looking for something, if I am lost, or need help finding something. I told the lady that I was not lost and just shopping (you know... like normal humans). Basically, the lady was profiling me to ensure I wasn't stealing. She was rushing me out of the store through intimidation and probably trying to win employee of the month. Give me a break! Listen... I'm a guy, so grocery shopping for me consists of roaming around aimlessly until I see a bright color tags. This was my second visit, so I am not familiar with the layout. That said, I was taking my time and enjoying my shopping experience and had only gotten through produce and a couple of isles. However, this lady was treating me like I was walking around like The Repo Man from WWF for 2 hours trying to case the joint. I don't know if it's the fact that I wore my New Balance's today or because my facemask covers up these "non-threatening black male" cheeks. Perhaps I look like someone that has robbed the store before. Or, maybe it was my crime of bringing a grocery bag into a GROCERY store. Either way, profiling and pressuring customers is not the way to execute loss prevention, but it is a great way to lose a customer. (bravo) Listen... I totally understand that Compare Foods is the hood and there will certainly be people that steal. However, the owner should have factored that in when he acquired the location (formerly Shoppers). There has to be more sophisticated ways of loss prevention because I frequently shopped at the Shoppers that was here and never had this issue. Strike 3: As I was checking out, the cashier needed to pull out the book to figure out the code for kale. She arbitrarily puts in the code for grapes (which were more expensive than kale). I pointed this out and she eventually charged me for kale and voided my grapes (after me asking that as well). I'm not sure if this was laziness, maliciousness, or incompetence, but make sure you pay attention to what's being rung up. A lot of the food is overpriced and expiring. If an item is on sale, it may be because it's expiring. I bought some Snickers that are Best Before 9/2020 and today is 9-30-20. I've only got one day to eat a whole bag of snickers! Here are some examples of price inflation: Wings are about $2.99/lb at a nice grocery store and about $2.29 at a budget store. Compare Foods wings here were $3.69/lb. Salmon is about $9.99/lb at a nice grocery store and 7.99/lb at a budget grocery store. CF had salmon for $10.99/lb. Another example is potato chips. You can almost always find chips on at 2 for $5. At CF, the chips were the retail price on the bag. Seriously...who does that?! You're Out (Conclusion): This is the only time that I have been [knowingly] profiled at a store in my life and it came from a black security guard and a black lady. Most of the other workers are Latino, so my theory is that the owner probably uses his black employees as the muscle of the operation. Needless to say, I will not be returning here. I started to leave after the lady harassed me, but I didn't want to leave empty handed and validate their suspicions. Now, imagine if I loved my experience and made CF my primary grocery store (it is the closest to me). If I spent $100 here every two weeks. That's $2,600 they missed out on because of me potentially stealing maybe $20 worth of stuff (?). Compare Foods has a really bad vibe and few customers. I don't expect them to last long and good riddance once they go out of business.

The shoppers and low income neighborhoods does not have anything compared to the other shoppers.

It's located at Ritchie Station right next to TJ Maxx, so there's a massive parking lot. But on a weekend, you still may not be able to park close. It's a busy plaza! Upon entering, the aisles are easily labeled and the shelves were quite stocked. I found the juices I came for with no problems at all. Staff were super nice at the register and everything was seamless. There's nothing about this location that makes it stand out from the others -- I do wish that they, like the locations closer to me, had self-checkout. I'm a self-checkout king and I miss it when I don't have it, lol!
