They'll allow gambling and weed, but don't think they'll ever cede to capitalism with booze. This is unfortunate, as the prices for liquor are high. Then again this is a good location, considering it's run by Richmond. Getting in and out of here is relatively straightforward. The Christmas sets for Johnny Walker or Jim Beam are excellent. Very classy and make for nice gifts in our Scotch Irish family. The employees are really polite. Also they are extremely knowledgeable, and check out time won't be an arduous process. Do I wish it would be privatized? Sure. Yet until then, this is one of the better ABC stores in the area.

The Hilltop Wegman's has a few things going for it…read more I can tell you that they have a very good wine section, even including a few organic (no added sulfites) vinos. Wegman's also has excellent meat and seafood sections. The bakery is impressive. And one thing they have improved since we first shopped here five years ago is that they have toned down the blasting music that used to make us want to get fast out of Wegman's. The hot foods section used to be pretty good, but now it has shriveled down to next to nothing, The take-home pre-prepared meals, while very good in quality, are exorbitant. Plan on spending $16-$18 for a simple meal, which is as much as you would pay in a restaurant for the same stuff. While they have an abundance of self-check stations, Wegman's doesn't let you get cash back, like you can at Safeway. The self-check stations can be persnickety. Today, I encountered one machine claiming I had put an unchecked item in the bagging item before I had even started scanning my stuff. Yikes! But what I really don't like is how Wegman's does bagging. The Virginia legislature in 2022 passed a law allowing grocery stores to collect from customers 5¢ for each plastic bag used. Wegman's has completely done away with plastic bags, yet Wegman's but takes advantage of that law to charge 5¢ for each paper bag. The icing on the cake is their paper sacks do not even have handles.

I would expect them to be more expensive but they actually aren't bad. I love their kitty litter!! $12 and works amazing! Tip: Try their take on a shrimp po boy but in sushi form ...

He kept cutting me off by saying "buy something or get out." I asked if I can have a second as I'm trying to find the right brand. Instead of him helping me to get out the door faster he raised his voice at me and was extremely rude. I was also in a bit of a rush so I purchased whatever was in my hand. The aggressive and disrespectful man kept talking at me and pointed at the door and said "you see here it says till 6pm on Sunday." And said "can you not read." I asked him if I could speak to the manager and ask if he was the manager he stayed quiet. I asked for his name he said " I don't have to tell you my name" I paid for the bottle and took a picture of him, then only was he trying to be nice. What a maniac. He ruined my day...was not helpful, nothing but disrespectful and totally unacceptable. If I could rate it would be a 0/0 Oh did I mention he did not ID me because he wanted me out so badly.

FSG is sandwiched between One Good Tern Wild Bird store and Simply Fish restaurant in an odd layout of a strip mall off Quaker and Braddock in Alexandria. They have a vast selection of wines, ports, cheeses, caviar, and breads. What keeps us going back, and a lot of our friends talk about this, too, is that there is not a hint of pretention there. The owners are so very helpful, patient and kind. The prices are also comparable to bigger stores and chains. And, of course, they do generous case discounts. We normally buy cases of the Le Petit Duc La Porte (glad I'm typing it because I can't pronounce it) and we get a better price at Fern Street Gourmet than what they're selling it for at Whole Foods. Off-street parking is almost always available here. I know they do tastings, too, but have never been to one. If you're looking for a nice pairing for a special dinner or holiday meal but don't want to feel looked down upon like in some other wine joints, check out Fern Street. Clare, from Tallula wine bar, works here part-time, too, and really knows her stuff.

They are easy to talk to, and they even order products they don't carry for you! I was looking for a specific juice and they didn't have it. I simply asked and within 5 mins; while I was still there, he ordered it for me, and told me to call next week when he anticipates it will arrive, so I didn't have to waste gas (in the middle of this gas crisis). I have never imagined that level of thoughtfulness could ever be experienced at a tobacco store. These guys are awesome and personable. Great prices (~15 for salts) on most products. AND they have new and exclusive items that I've never seen in shops around the area. Don't even think about it. Go today.
