Harris Teeter

You can read my review below from May of this year. I wanted to take the opportunity to update it and let you know that the place is getting worse instead of better. The customer service is consistently poor, the checkout process is abysmal and the advertised weekly specials are out of stock on a regular basis. If I had any viable option in this area, I would NOT shop here for any reason. I am thinking of Driving to Columbia on the weekends and going to Trader Joe’s or a REAL Harris Teeter. (10÷20÷15)
I’m a Harris-​Teeter fan. My family has always shopped there and it’s a Southern thing. Heaven knows the stores far exceed the Food Lions, IGAs and Bi-​Los in the area. The selection is more than adequate, they have some specialty items and the wine selection is one of the best in the area. (That’s not saying much).
The big loss here is the deplorable customer service. Whether it is trying to get assistance with the meat and fish or doing something as simple as checking out, this place is NOT up to Harris-​Teeter standards. When you repeatedly have a negative experience every time you check out, it makes you wonder who is training the customer service personnel. My guess is nobody because it just consists of poor attitudes and sloppy work.
I don’t always have the time to drive to Columbia or Charleston or even Charlotte to go to a different Harris Teeter or a Trader Joe’s but when I do have the time, I choose a road trip over this store. It’s just disappointing.

Every time I come here I get the worst meat and fish. Step it up or I’ll drive to Columbia and get decent meat and fish.

I love going to Harris Teeter because it has such a clean and fresh atmosphere! Although it is a bit pricey, they sometimes have good ideals and delicious fruits/​vegetables. Also, they open till midnight? Strange for a grocery store, but convenient!

Our go to store for the best selection.

Oh Harris Teeter how I love thee. To be fair, I really didn’t «grocery shop» here, but Harris Teeter is my go to grocery store wherever they are. On this occasion, I was looking to stock up on Sweetwater brews, which I can’t get at home, on my way back to Virginia. I came up snake eyes at a Target in Summerville, but knew Harris Teeter would have my back. While not directly off I-​95, this was the closest off the interstate I could find, and close enough to not be too far out of the way.
As usual, fantastic beer selection at Harris Teeter. They had what I was looking for, plus I picked up a couple of others I can’t get in VA either. The staff here wasn’t quite the usual cheery HT staff I’m used to at home, but nice enough nonetheless. And the beers I chose were $ 8 a six-​pack … more than $ 2 less that they were at a specialty beer shop in Charleston. Thanks to the Teeter, I now have a nice stockpile of Sweetwater 420.

My favorite grocery store when I lived in Florence :). They were always super nice, had great sales (sometimes pricier on everyday items, but most things go on sale eventually so we just try to stock up during sales). Also, they double coupons and the management is really nice toward those who coupon. Loved the bakery, sushi, and deli areas after the remodel.

This is by far my favorite grocery store in town. I used to shop in walmart for groceries only because it’s cheap but lately they’ve been so bad with keeping things stocked so I had to supplement with another store.
Harris Teeter has pretty much anything I could want short of an international market. They are often more expensive than walmart but if you time sales right you can save a lot of money.
They offer fresh baked breads, desserts and even sushi here. Their sushi is decent, not great but also not terrible. All the staff members are super friendly and helpful.
