“Wegmans is the best *ing supermarket in the supermarket business”

Hot take: Wegman’s is fine. Totally, absolutely just fine.

Hot take: Wegman’s is fine. Totally, absolutely just fine.

I’m with you. The steaks have been mediocre. The quality of other food is mediocre. And I saw somewhere that like 90 pct of the products in the store now are “wegmans brand”. And don’t even get me started on the traffic at the Fayetteville one. I’ve been going to Lombardis since I moved back

Lombardi's is good as is Vince's in N. Syracuse. Vince's supports WAER and public radio.

It'll fit in perfectly there: over-hyped; overpriced; good people at lower levels (AH's at the top). In Rochester, we've grown up watching their management practices harden since Bob died. Around the same period they cancelled sponsorship of the LPGA at locust hill; started substituting "Wegmans" brand for national brands on a mass scale; raised prices (beyond inflation); moved merchandise every few months to confuse customers into purchasing products they don't want; sold their soul to the Chinese for non-grocery items; started taking pay-offs from vendors in exchange for allowing them to order inventory and even stack Wegmans shelves. "Food you feel good about" is now "the business model you despise".

Their store brand, though, is miles above most store brands.

It'll fit in perfectly there: over-hyped; overpriced; good people at lower levels (AH's at the top). In Rochester, we've grown up watching their management practices deteriorate since Bob died. Around the same period they cancelled sponsorship of the women's PGA at locust hill; started substituting "Wegmans" brand for national brands on a mass scale; raised prices; moved merchandise every few months to confuse customers into buying different products; sold their soul to the Chinese for non-grocery items; taken money from vendors in exchange for allowing them to order inventory and even stack Wegmans shelves. You get the idea."Food you feel good about" has become "the business model you despise".

Man you should be a trial lawyer. Way to go ! Spot on!

Safeway out west is also going heavy into their store brands.

I miss pizza at Colony Grill. The underrated pie of CT.

When I'm in Syracuse during the Summer and go to Wegmans in Fayetteville I have always found the service and friendliness of the employees there to be subpar. Many times I've stopped at the service desk on the way out and told an employee there - if you want to know what good service is in a supermarket -- visit Publix in Florida. Way way better. And friendlier. I've never understood why people rave about Wegmans.

 

[Ottoman]

Wegmans has spoiled you all! I've lived just about everywhere and Wegmans is amongst the best standard grocery stores around. The baked goods and prepared food are much better than the norm.

It's a great store for lots of items .

The entrance ànd lanes are just not setup right. Its always interesting when you have to turn left, 2 lanes are goîng left but all cars need to go right once you make the left.
And of course the cars in the left lane drift over into the right lane without looking.
If you catch my drift?
