Wegmans

"Wegmans is still fantastic when the meat and seafood departments are open. But my goodness, so much of the store has taken a nosedive. Made ground veal burgers (similar to the type of package in my image) and it had pieces of bone that were nearly an inch in length. I’ve never seen this before, and have never experienced so many bone shards in ground meat. This is a constant issue with their prepackaged ground meat. Their sub shop is a disaster. Used to be excellent and loved by my friends and family. The meat is dull and the bread is soulless. They no longer slice their meat in the store but receive it pre-sliced, hence the added water and preservatives. I bought a jar of caviar months ago, white sturgeon if I remember, and it made me violently ill. No idea what happened there, but I’ll just order caviar online from here on out. The store, while massive, has limited selection. Anymore, I find it easier to just head to a Weis. And for anyone who remembers how nasty the Giant used to be, that is saying something. If you told my wife and I that we would come to strongly prefer the Endwell or Endicott Weis over Wegmans, we would have never believed you. Overall, what they do well, they do very well. However, what goes wrong is so unthinkably wrong you wonder who they are hiring."

"I have thought long and hard about this review. It appears since 2020 Wegmans has changed their corporate attitude towards their customers. They started on a campaign to minimize personal interactions with customers. They removed the salad and meal deli where you could taste a salad before buying and have your meal assembled according to your personal preferences. Then they started adding self checkout. I don’t recall putting in my application to work as a checkout at their store. So they put someone out of a job and don’t pay me to do the same job. Then they started increasing the prices for premade sandwiches to twice what they cost 3 years ago. It is now cheaper to buy good Chinese takeout then to buy a pre made dinner at Wegmans. Their premade family portions such as pulled pork have doubled. As have most cakes and pastries. On top of that they have removed the icing from the side of many of their cakes but have not reduced the price. They told me they would charge me extra to put the icing back on the side of the cake. A single slice of cake now costs what their smallest cake use to cost. They continue to add more self checkouts which cause theft to increase and reduce jobs. If you want to pay the highest price for takeout food in the area go to Wegmans. They have no empathy for the challenges their customers face in this period of inflation. They no longer care for their customer’s financial dilemma. They have become arrogant and greedy, interested only in lining their pockets at our expense. Shame on you Wegmans! If you want to pay more for less, go to Wegmans. In the past Wegmans had excellent Rotisserie Chickens. I just finished eating an apparently roasted chicken they now have. Both my partner and I thought it was the worst chicken we have had in this area. It was barbeque flavor. I had no flavor at all. It tasted more like a boiled chicken and the skin was not crisp and brown. Big fail !!!"

"Wegmans is so expensive. And they are not nice to their customers and like to accuse people of stealing with no evidence. I was there the other night with my friend and we spent a lot of time on the make up because my friend couldn't decide what she wanted . They were about to close so i told my friend i was going to check out and meet her at the car . I went to self checkout and an employee stood right behind me watching my evey move . She wouldn't take her eyes off me and it was very uncomfortable because she was just standing there wouldn't look away or ever blink but said absolutely nothing. So i finish and go out to the car . My friend was taking a long time to come out . When she finally does she tells they stopped her and told her to empty her pockets. I couldn't believe this i was so angry, a little side note i was in the store like 45 minutes to an hour walking around waiting for my friend to come in and i got what i needed pretty fast so for most of that time i was just walking around and they didn't stop me. I was the more suspicious one in my opinion. They had no video of her putting things in her pocket they were just assuming she stole. This is so wrong and they could get sued if they continue to treat people this way. They didn't even apologize to her and acted like she was the person in the wrong and they didn't do anything wrong . . Wegmans do better be better"

"I had this Beet and Macadamia Poke bowl. Really good. The right mix of beets, rice and macadamia and veggies, which is to say, the right amount of crunch and grain. Absolutely delicious."
