Fort Meade Post Exchange

A big improvement over the last exchange. Still got a little catching up to do before it is equal to the NEX but AAFES is trying. I will start off with the bad. The parking situation can get a bit bad. When in the parking lot keep your head on a swivel and the turns are tight closest to the entrance. Also there is parking on the side by the garden area but for some reason that entrance is now closed. Inside there are plenty of food options in the food court.
Clothing options are pretty good also at reasonable prices. The best part of the PX in my opinion is the price matching option especially on electronics. This is a double-​edged sword as it seems like AAFES is a bit behind on electronics. The electronics section is also smaller than many other equally sized PXs. On the plus side you can purchase firearms at this AAFES. More on base facilities are getting into this as it was once only offered at Marine Corps Exchanges.

I don’t know why it’s not high rated. It’s pretty clean and has many things. Not crowded at all. There are so many bags somehow.

A nice looking PX, although during two recent back to back visits I was charged incorrectly.
One item was labeled incorrectly and charged me double the price. I returned it after going back to the aisle to verify, taking a picture and showing it to the service desk.
I purchased another item a week later and was overcharged. The label at the aisle showed it on sale so I returned to take a picture to present to the service desk who told me they get behind on updating the computer. And that makes it right to overcharge customers? By the way, I went to the aisle for the first item I bought the week prior and saw the problem still hadn’t been fixed even though I brought it to the attention of the service desk. There was a row of the item labeled incorrectly and overpriced.

Definitely bumped up their game with the new store. Almost a small indoor mall feel with about a half dozen choices in the food court (and the demise of the lame Anthony’s Pizza… RIP), haircut, dry cleaner, military clothing, and the new Exchange proper is much better.
My wife even liked it. They have a much larger, higher end selection than they did before. We’ll be back — that wasn’t true for the old store.
