HEB

Great store. Hate they open at 10 am on a Sunday. My only issue with this location is the several times I have been here they have been out of stock on several things. Not sale items but regular things. Some staff arent so friendly as well.

I try to avoid crowds when I shop as much as possible, but I was in the area and needed to pick up some distilled water for my daily sinus rinse, so I had to deal with the crowds of people buying Sunday groceries during tax free weekend. Parking was a bit of pain of course because of the crowd, but thank goodness HEB has a pretty big parking lot. I eventually parked and had enough energy to get out the car despite the August sun trying to zap it out of me!
I didn’t see any carts available, so I decided to just carry the 2 gallons of water I wanted with a basket (that would keep me from shopping for more than I needed). Boy was I right about that one! Luckily I work out or else I would have had to find a cart to carry the water. I walked around a little to nibble on some samples and headed for the express lanes, which were moving fast since people adhered to the item limit. I thought I was out the door until I noticed that one gallon of the water was dusty. In fact, the bottle had so much dust on it, blowing on it couldn’t remove it. I asked the cashier if she could hold my items at the register while I switched out the water. When I reached my intended aisle, I not only noticed other bottles were a little dusty, but one must have been open or coming loose because i felt water on my hand when I picked it up. That’s where this store lost the star – not checking on the suitability of the inventory. Otherwise, despite the heavy traffic flow, I would shop at this store again. Just make sure you’re water isn’t dusty or leaky!
