Harris Teeter....a.k.a the $4 store. Where every item seems like it is $4.
While expensive...they are great quality. Always fully stocked with fresh produce, prepared foods, sushi, full service deli and a huge Beer/Wine section.
Harris Teeter staff are always neatly dressed, very helpful, and the culture seems very consistent among all stores.
Generally check-out is not too bad. Sometimes it seems like the registers may run a little slow...esp. when they are super busy duing snow day.
I have learned that, 9 times out of 10, bagging your own groceries is a great way to cut down on time at checkout. I dont mind doing that though. I bag it and sort it how i like it. It also shows the people in line that I'm purposly trying to speed things along. No one like glaring looks from people who are waiting. The cashier appreciates it too.
The stores are pretty high end....i hear there is some competition coming to Cotswold .... Publix is on the way. Someone is gonna come in a bit lower in pricing.
