Weis Markets 165 Orville Road, Essex, MD 21221

"When I go grocery shopping after working 6 days a week, I do NOT want to self checkout!!! It's ridiculous that there are 3 workers standing around talking and no registers are open!! We are not trained on your system and we do not get paid a salary from you to check ourselves out!!! Get it together!! You will lose alot of business if you haven't already!!"

"I come to the store regularly because the produce is really good but all good things have to come to an end. The last three times I've been in the store they've called out security scans on black people. The last time it happened I had been shopping next to the guy and his daughter for about 15 minutes. They were just walking the aisles shopping, debating about which type of pasta they wanted to get for dinner. Meanwhile people from every department came out and stared them down like they were dogs. I go today they've installed the carts where you have to have a quarter to check a cart out, I don't have a quarter I guess I can't make my full shopping list, I grab a hand basket and get what I can get. I get up to the self checkout two items in my car wouldn't scan, The last time I was in here on the self checkout they had to come over four times to fix weight problems for me. There are three other markets in the area, I suggest anyone planning on going to this market to check it out steer clear and frequent one of the others."

"I have been growing increasing frustrated with Weis for quite a while now. I'm going to add my voice to those complaining about inventory. Inventory is a big problem. It's pretty rare that I can go there and get everything on my list. They are always out of stuff that other stores are well stocked on, often for multiple weeks in a row. But it seems like they are always really well stocked on Weis brand products, they're not running out of the specific items they want you to buy. It seems like they've cut down their work force a lot, and are trying to steer people toward using self check outs. In the past few years they went from a good amount of cashiers working at one time to one or two, who don't seem as well trained and efficient as they used to be, with several self check outs open instead. I once even had an employee walk up to me while I'm waiting in line with a full cart and suggest, twice, that I try a self check out. Everybody says nobody wants to work anymore, but the impression I get is that companies just don't want to pay employees anymore. And now, this week when I went to the store, I found the carts are locked together and you need a quarter to unlock one. So what happens when you don't even tend to use cash, much less carry change around with you and find the carts at a place you've shopped for several years suddenly require a quarter to unlock? It's a bit inconvenient. I guess they don't want to pay somebody to collect carts anymore either, so this is an attempt to get people to bring their own carts back? UPDATE: I bought a can of salsa con queso this week (August). I just discovered it has a July 2023 Expiration date. This is less than a month after I bought a package of hot dog rolls that had mold on them 2 days after I purchased them. 2ND UPDATE: Do they just not pay anybody to take calls on the main service line anymore? Ran into yet another problem where I was charged for stamps that the cashier forgot to give me, and I can't reach anybody to confirm I can just come in and pick them up in the morning. Just rings and rings and rings. It's getting to the point where the benefits of shopping here, convenient location and coupons, are having a harder time measuring up to the growing frustration of shopping here. I really miss the Mars that used to be here."

"This has to be the nicest Weis Market we have ever been in. The store is super clean and well laid out. The aisles are big and well stocked. There is a wide variety of items and lots of hard to find items. All of the departments have fresh items. The produce is beautiful and very fresh. The store associates were all friendly, helpful and very hard working. 3/24/2022 - Still stand by my statement that this is the nicest Weis Market around. The sections carried in this grocery grocery store out way a lot of other stores."
