Harris Teeter

Nice store. Big aisles. Great selection

Harris Teeter please come to Pittsburgh and rescue us from this Giant Eagle BS! I love how they have a TON of samples of fruits, meats, and cheeses so you can try before you buy. They have one of the best Key Lime pies I have ever eaten! My parents said they have only had better ones in Florida. Since we were visiting, the cashier let us use the store rewards card so we could still get a discount. The young guys at the deli and meat counters were very helpful and patient with my mom as she detailed exactly how she wanted her meat sliced (yes, she is THAT annoying customer but they handled it very well!). Prices are a tad higher than my local grocer back in Pittsburgh but, I feel, there is more variety and better quality at Harris Teeter than at my local. It’d be more convenient if they were 24 hours like the grocers back home but it is in a more sleepy town so I understand. It’s centrally located to most of the rental houses on the lake too. Bonus that you can’t get back in PA-​they sell beer AND wine in the store (stupid PA liquor laws…)

It was a pain in the butt to get a rewards card. Heard Publix is coming to the area. Love that they give sale prices without a damn card. Harris T needed my drivers license, phone number, and email. I will say it sliced $ 6 off a $ 21 bill, so I guess it was worth it to me. Not so much for the people waiting in line behind me.
Good produce. Decent prices. Loved the layout of the store. Loved the sales and selection of items. Other than the huge ordeal getting a card (and the absolute stupidity of needing one), it’s a 5-​star place, albeit a bit pricey.

The secret word of the review is «a whole» and «a-hole»…keep reading…
Love Super Double Coupon Days!!! When they have them. However, most coupons on a normal day are doubled up to $ 1.00. Doesn’t sound like «a whole» bunch, but over time, it really does add up.
The other day, I bought some steaks from the meat department, got home, put them on the grill and to my disappointment, ended up throwing them out. (Not good steaks – boo.) However, HT redeemed themselves by doubling my money back when I told them of the bad experience.
I also had a bad purchase of a 7-​layer dip, which was all beans and no 6 other layers (and the tomatoes were not great.) So I returned that too. I was told that produce products were double your money back too. When I came back to the store to return it, I was only given the original price which was $ 6.00 (a lot for dip I might say, but I really wanted something jazzy that night.) I asked the «manager» why I didn’t get double my money back (might I add that I had to chase her when she was walking away from me) she seemed to get pissed that I asked her about her store policy, not something that I made up in my head. She refunded an additional $ 6.00 but not with out acting like an «a-​hole.» If you loathe customers the way your face expressed you do, get out of customer service. Just a tip.
Other than that, the meat department guys have always been pretty nice to me. Always helpful, pretty much sincere about what is the best stuff in the case. The meat portion that night was the «miss.» But that is ok.
Dear Bob T., I really hope they don’t talk about me and my couponing binder, or the fact that I returned something that wasn’t great. That would suck.

We don’t do all our grocery shopping here — too expensive. But they make the best sub sandwiches we’ve found in the area — and very reasonable. Watch out Subway & Quiznos.
