Harris Teeter

This review is for the Starbucks in HT. This is the second time I have gotten to the store and they are closed! They say they open at 6am! I’m never going back there.

I have been shopping at this HT for years but last night the customer service just was above and beyond expectations. Frequently I use the Express online service. There was a mix up at the store during pick up so when I came home i checked my order carefully and unfortunately I was missing a few items. So I called the store. The gentleman took my information and complaint. He then said he would get a resolution and call me right back. He called back quickly and advised that my groceries would be DELIVERED to my home within the hour. with his apologies. This is why I will continue to shop at University Mall HT. Excellent job.!!

I’ve been coming to this location for many years and watched it go through many transitions of expansion and updating. Just when I think it’s as up to date as can be they do another overhaul, so it just keeps getting better.
When it’s busy the parking lot can get a little tense, but it has never deterred me from shopping there. I’m always able to find what I need and the check out seems to move quickly no matter. Nice employees too!

Well laid out excellent facility. The produce department is better than area stores. HT has a nice selection of regular produce and a large variety of organic products. The same is true of the meat department.
The prices are always competitive and specials with buy one get one free or special senior citizen discount days can be real money savers.

This is a nice store. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They stock many high quality products, including organic and gluten free. The wine selection is very good as well.

I went here today to get an air filter, and they didn’t have any I could find. I rarely come to Harris Teeter except for products like this, and now it turns out I can’t even count on this store. Perhaps it’s a smaller store, or the construction had something to do with it. Now air filters are another thing I buy on Amazon for a super low price and can easily see the reviews for products.
I wish Harris Teeter sold more organic, local, fair trade, and vegan items. Trader Joe’s shows you can do this without charging excessively high prices. Until they offer higher-​quality products (in my opinion), I will not be back to Harris Teeter.

This store is so poorly run compared to every other grocery store in the area that I can only conclude that its convenience is its reason for existence. Shop elsewhere and avoid some of my recent experiences
1) A sick teller who was coughing and so obviously sick that the supervisor asked her if she wanted to go home (she didn’t)
2) Employees and customers smoking outside. Why would folks buy organic healthy food and tolerate breathing smoke?
3) «Big brother» announcements that basically say ««someone is stealing something in aisle 3, turn on the cameras». I already do at least ½ my shopping at Food Lion because I have confirmed with them that don’t insult their paying customers with these kinds of announcements [Roses take note, I don’t shop there either]
4) Lazy tellers who don’t put in your «discount code» right
Fresh Market has happy (and healthy) people serving great food (and no cigarettes). For everything else the Food Lions are surprisingly full of happy, friendly staff — they must have better management.

This store was open after we picked my daughter up from her late studies at UNC Medical School. A 12 pack of Coca Cola was $ 6.39 vs $ 3.98 at Walmart. Bulls Eye BBQ only came in one size and that was $ 3.59. Oscar Meyer bacon thick cut was $ 6.99 vs. $ 3.58 at Walmart. They did have the thick cut variety whereas this Walmart only had the regular cut. This place is highway robbery, but like Seven-​Eleven they are open at odd hours so I had to pay for the convenience. We happily drove a little further and shopped Walmart the next day and felt good saving money.
This store kinda reminded me of Tom Thumb in the DFW area. It was easy to find things. We did self check out while an employee man laid over a podium. We asked him where the ice was when we walked in and he pointed to the freezer. When we checked out i shuffled over and got the ice. Had I been working and there was only (1) customer in the store I would have gotten the ice for the customer, but everyone has a different work ethic and his is not much!

Here’s the bottom line: if you’re picky about your flowers, and need them to be exactly right, go to Holley’s Flowers At Woodcroft or somewhere. If you can get by with less specific arrangements and/​or are looking for inexpensive flowers, then go with H-​T.
I had brought pictures with me when I met with the florist at H-​T, including both the general color scheme and sample bouquets/​boutonnieres. I gave her the pictures of what I was looking for in general, and she wrote down the specific changes I wanted.
When I went to pick them up, she said, «You’re an hour early» (which I was, to be fair). When I said that I’d be happy to come back later, she said that no, it was OK, because she had just finished. Then she told me that the flowers weren’t like in the pictures. So I’m thinking, «OK, why did I tell you what I wanted, if you weren’t going to do it?» I paid for the flowers and left.
The boutonnieres and corsages were just fine. The bouquets didn’t have everything I wanted in them, however, leaving out one of the colors entirely. The flowers that *were* there were put together very well – we didn’t lose any blossoms during or after the ceremony.

This Harris Teeter sells Ed Hardy beer.
Otherwise it’s a Harris Teeter. I personally like Food Lion’s prices more.
Just to reiterate, this Harris Teeter sells Ed Hardy beer.

This is the closest grocery store to us so I headed there to stock our empty refrigerator and pantry since we just got into town. It is a beautiful store and was buzzing with activity but I never felt like I was crowded or in someone’s way.
They have a nice selection of products but were out of several items that I needed which are not esoteric in anyway so that was a surprise. They were also short on help so they had no baggers. I ended up having to bag my groceries which normally isn’t a problem but I have some restrictions on lifting so it could be a problem for others with similar issues. The checker was nice and welcoming. I hate that I have to carry around another card but I guess I can get rid of the one I used from my old home.
I will definitely go back but I think I will try the Food Lion and see how well stocked they are. It could be that Harris Teeter being a Carrboro hub could go through items quickly so it may be hit or miss.

This is one of the smaller Harris Teeter’s, but it’s really close to UNC campus and in the heart of Carrboro. They manage to carry all of the regular brands and keep them in stock.
It’s sometimes a fight to find a parking spot in the parking lot as it shares it with the Carr Mill Mall/​Weaver Street Market area. But it’s a good place to park, get lunch in Carrboro, pick up some organic stuff from Weaver Street, and then get your staples from Harris Teeter.
Don’t forget to take your VIC card, it can save you a lot off their higher prices. If you don’t have one, you can get one at the register. You just have to be «that guy».
