I have been a customer at Freeds for 40 years all the way back to when they were on Maryland parkway. Ordered a loaf of bread online went to pick it up and asked if it could be sliced. I was told it shouldn't be sliced because it would dry out. I said I needed it sliced for a recipe. Then I was told I should have ordered it that way. I was the told it would be 10 minutes to slice it but it was longer. Wow who knew it was a big deal to get a loaf of bread sliced in a bakery. Need to find new bakery.
