Amir KashaniJune 25, 2015Use the line and save the jobs we can offer in our neighborhood. Only use the self checkout if you are not in absolute rush. We need more cashier jobs.
Totally appreciating the rearranging of the self check out here. SO much more efficient! Thanks!
Eric AndersenFebruary 16, 2020Convenient store directory located in the main aisle…very helpful for first-timers!
It's strange seeing so many complaints; it's a large grocery store with plenty of options. The Natural Foods section is great.
Despite the horrific lines, I wouldn't go anywhere else for my pharmacy! Really nice and helpful staff.
It's fine during the week but avoid at all costs on weekends. On Saturday/Sunday it's a cluster/ shit storm with lines to the back of the store for every register.
Coming from New York, it's nice to not feel rushed in a grocery store and have so many options.
Yuri BFebruary 13, 2014This is a couples friendly store. One gets to get in line while another shops.
Filling the entire produce section with tomatoes does not replace the product (s!) you're out of, not does it help me realize you're out of avocados. Instead it's sloppy merchandising.
Brian AtheySeptember 7, 2012If your only options are to go to this store or go hungry, choose the latter. The check out lines will make you wish you were dead anyway.
They sell the sort of "homey" foods you normally have to go to the suburbs for, like Dove mini-ice cream bars.They're often out of random things, which= annoying. I swear by self-checkout. Less surly.
Barry WilliamsSeptember 16, 2011I try to avoid self checkout as often as possible. As much as people complain about the staff I find them to be better than the customers (myself included).
If there's no line at the deli counter, you're only going to be waiting 20 minutes for your half-pound of Virginia ham.
- Every single line is fifteen deep for subpar meats and produce. Please please please put a teeter harris in here.
The lines are unbearable and there never seems to be a good time to beat the crowds!
P BJanuary 3, 2013Coming to this place between 5 and 7pm on a weeknight is one of the outer circles of hell. Maybe inner.
If you want to avoid being a douche, don't bring produce or alcohol through the self-checkout lines. It slows everything down when an employee has to key in codes for these.
Arnaud RéautéOctober 30, 2014All you can find and many promotions with the fidelity card. Fruits are not good though.
It's a random tuesday and the lines (all lines) are tho the back of the store. This Giant SUCKS.
Jazzy MonáeApril 14, 2013This place has the slowest cashiers on earth, and the place is packed on Sunday! Good grief!- Checkout Saturday morning before 10 am if you don't wantit to take an hour...
- Dear God, surely there is a way to introduce another grocery store in Columbia Heights. This place is the hell of grocery stores. Expect to wait an hour to check out.
Rusty McAndrewMarch 28, 2011Regardless of how long the self check out appears, it's ALWAYS faster than the other lines.
The self-checkout machine has more attitude than a TSA agent.
Avoid coming here during peak hours of 5pm-8pm. SO crowded. You'll be standing in check out line for 20 minutes.
This joint is always off the chain. At least it smells better, then one on georgia ave.
There were no lines, if you don't want to wait try to shop during a severe weather advisory.
This giant doesn't appear to have organic produce section or variety. #fail
Go to Target, Harris teeter, whole foods, cvs, anywhere else instead. Unless you are super into lines- babybuttonsSeptember 28, 2011Does anyone know what the big guy who stands outside the front door every afternoon does?
James ServinoApril 17, 2010They always double coupons at Giant under $1. So bring in a coupon for $.75 and it becomes $1.50 off.
A short bus clearly drops most of the people off who work here.
Progressive Bag Affiliates American Chemistry CouncilOctober 26, 2010Remember to bring your plastic bags and product wraps back to the store for recycling!
Because of the recent plastic bag tax, Free reusable shopping bags! Wonder how long that will last.
Jacqueline Kennedy Bouvier Onasis SmithMarch 28, 2010This place is always a zoo and the staff are not so effective. Please! Another grocery store in CH!!!!!
Lauren LarsonNovember 21, 2010The GPS was just stollen from my car... Parkedin front o across the street.
- Shop here if you like empty shelves and enjoy terrible service with an attitude chaser. The guaranteed panhandling and sexual harassment outside are a nice bonus!
This is quite possibly the worst place you could ever be. It's the world's worse acid trip every. Single. Time.
Stacey LaskinSeptember 21, 2010Today is September 20. There was spinach on the shelves that expired on September 4. CHECK YOUR DATES.
