Harris Teeter

OUTSTANDING floral department — went above and beyond!!!
Late one Saturday evening during the busy Christmas season, I ran to HT to get a very last minute corsage for my 15 year-​old son. The floral manager, Aman, had stayed past his shift thinking there might be a holiday floral emergency. He quickly made a beautiful custom corsage for me, and my son and his date were over the moon. Thank you for coming through in a big way, Aman!

Checked online for a store opened 24 hours. This Harris Teeter came up. Checked and it said opened 24 hours. Drove out here and they are closed.

Harris teeter is awesome! This location is super friendly. The floral guy always asks me how my daughter is doing and chats with me for a few minutes. The front end staff is friendly and always asks if I need help getting my groceries out to the car. I’ve bought a few expired things, or things that weren’t fresh like they should be and I’ve never had any problems getting them exchanged or replaced. Love ht!

Great deli and great employees. Love coming to get the pizzas on Mondays. Wish all HTs had the pizza station it’s pretty good and a very reasonable price.

I always struggle on how to rate grocery stores. This harris teeter is not that different from any other grocery store. It’s clean and has a starbucks in it. Overall prices can be a little pricier, but the selection is better than say Food Lion or Kroger
Some tips if you’re new to the area on how to save money and things that I like:
–sign up for the vic card
–sign up for evic as well and emails. I’ve found that evic deals are always pretty good. For example a gallon of milk $ 2.97, individual greek yogurt $ 0.77
–footlong subs are $ 5 on fridays
–you can accumulate points for free subs
–subs are good
–the in store brand is always pretty good
–they have double coupon days

Every time I walk into this Harris Teeter and get a nice, deep whiff of fresh fried chicken, I ask myself, «Why do you hate it here, again?» And then I start shopping, and I remember:
1. The prices are absurdly high. An item here or there will be a great deal (like strawberries, when in season, or fresh bread), but for the most part, they’re astronomical compared to other area supermarkets.
2. Other customers are jerks. I find this to be true about most grocery stores, but this location must do something to attract the jerkiest of them. I’m talking kids playing hide and seek in the wine aisle; dads racing their carts at full speed without regard to others; and people seemingly intentionally getting in your way.
3. The customer service sucks. Now, I’m sure they’re not all bad, but on my last visit, the cashier (who happened to be Assistant Customer Service Manager), was a total ass, sighing deeply throughout the process and acting altogether overwhelmed and inconvenienced by my presence and purchases. More like Assistant *to* the Customer Service Manager, amiright?
I’ll only shop here for the few select items I can’t get elsewhere, and then get outta there as fast as I can.

Ok, I will first and foremost agree with the person below me who commented on the Asian bar. The chicken is really fully of fillers like a flour or something. I noticed when I was eating it. If it was actual chicken, I suppose the price wouldn’t be so bad, but the fact that they pass off fried flour or soy as chicken is REALLY bad which is why I subtracted one star.
Ok it is pricier on most days then Walmart, especially in the meat department, but on good days it can be cheaper in addition to doubling coupons.
What I do enjoy about this store though is the SERVICE. It really is better than the lazy — I don’t wanna be here– gossiping employees at the local Walmart or even Target. They also have a lot of products that most grocery stores don’t carry. For instance, Coke in glass bottles! I wouldn’t recommend buying produce or meat here unless you are looking for something specific because it is very over priced. However all in all it is near my house, service is fast, friendly, and efficient.

My girlfriend got food poisoning from the deli. Asked to speak to the manager and was shown the exit.

I am really happy with this store.
Listen, I may be biased, I live in Baltimore, and I am unaccustomed to the great hospitality that you get in the land of the pines.
This store had everything on my shopping list + an awesome set of micro brews.
Yeah, this place is okay.

Review of the Asian Food Bar at Harris Teeter.
Don’t get ripped off by the Asian Food bar at this Harris Teeter. It costs $ 6.99/lb. At the nearby China Buffet, you can buy food by the pound. For lunch, it is $ 3.59/lb and the food is much better than Harris Teeter and also there is a lot more variety.
China Buffet is only 0.9 miles away from Harris Teeter (about 4 minutes drive) at 3720 Mayfair St.
The Unilocal page for China Buffet:

This isn’t the best Harris Teeter I’ve been to, but it gets the job done, and probably a bit more.
I thought the selection was more than adequate, the produce looked quite fresh, the store was quite clean, and the staff is courteous. I think I am staying with 3 stars only b/​c the cashier was a bit on the slow side and couldn’t do any bagging while checking. (I tried to help him out.) I thought that was sort of strange and that he should be better trained.
I did get greeted by a friendly but odd bagger/​assistant who insisted on shaking my hand and telling me I was pretty. It wasn’t really that creepy, just sort of bizarre.
I also think it’s great that this place is open 24 hours. Now I’ll never want for any groceries, any time of day!

i like this Harris Teeter better than most. I don’t know why but it’s clean yet not sterile like many in Chapel HIll and has better selection of pretty much everything. Location is easy to get to — hours are accommodating.

If I rate supermarkets by unique items I can get, this HT probably ranks the highest in Durham. This place also stocks fresh rhubarb and in a pinch, they also have frozen rhubarb when baking calls for this ingredient when it’s not in season. A large wine section sits close to the front of the market.
This supermarket offers drive by service. You can order and pick up items at the parking bay. We don’t use this service, but I know of busy people who do. This is a good supermarket — it’s a little out of the way for us, but we like it!

This is consistently the WORST grocery store I have ever been too. I’ve been to this Harris Teeter several times over the last year and every time they have charged me incorrect prices for sale items. And it’s usually not a 10 cent difference. Several times I’ve been overcharged by several dollars on the 1 item I happen to know the shelf price of so that doesn’t even include all the items I don’t know the prices of. I complained the first two times and was told that I would have to pay for all my groceries and then wait in line at the customer service desk to get a refund on my card. Considering the fact that every other store I’ve ever been to usually allows the cashier to either handle customer issues or call a manager I was unimpressed with this process. To be honest, the overcharges have gotten so bad that I pretty much believe they are flat out stealing from their customers!
I’ve had several other problems with their customer service overall, such as my last visit where the cashier was very rude to me after I pushed the «call cashier» button on my self checkout. I know, terrible of me to do what the machine told me to do when I had a problem.
Overall, I can’t speak for Harris Teeter’s everywhere since I’ve only been to this one but I’d advise customers to stay away from the Harris Teeter on MLK in Durham unless you want to be ripped off and treated poorly.
