Pics from Wagmans :
up the escalator is Meat/fish/foods to eat / bakery. thee are at least 4 isles like this .2/sided w end caps like this :
there are at least 4 if not 6 self-service island like this. two or more are Organic : make your Salad etc
it was 10 AM and a bit early for a full sushi-trake out. the counter is twice this length. their prices are fair for the area. the long items on the lower right were
7.99 , and some kind of volcano salmon and V.Scallops. next to this there is a dumpling-bar , about this length
service meat , much of the beef prime or Wagmans aged choice. unlike other stores in the area , the store aged choice is very clearly marked
and you are not going to confuse it w aged prime which they also have. a tiny problem at another local store, as I see it. their meat prices from above are
a bit better than that store.
Vac packaged beef. my boneless SR's came from here yest, are are enjoying themselves in the refrg.
sale sirloin strips , $ 5.99. there are 4 steaks / package , and individually vac'd but you buy 4. I can't say if they will cut you different ones
I didn't ask. Service seems to be one of their strengths . 4 of the MeatGuys knew all about SV
the slimmer steaks seem to be a bit thicker than the wider ones , and have more marbling. if I wasn't working on the SR , the package you see
on the lower R would have had my name on it. there is plenty to look over and chose the marbling of your choice
I appreciated the fact that the marbling of each of the 4 steaks in a sale pack is consistent.
next week Ill look them over again and get a 4 pack to RB40 and SV. All packs are dated w how long you can keep them refrigerated etc.
their sales are two weeks.
there is a huge amount of stuff I didn't take pics of.
took a look at their bakery and its very nice. they were sampling a pear-almond tort
and it was superb. exceptional crust and lots and lots of pears. I didn't check to see if they had `1/2 sized torts
just as well. I imagine that if you are a home baker you can make a better tart , but Id bet by not much.
I studied their wine selection , and its decent , but Total Whine has much much more and its a block away.
their large bottle of HighEnd booze are 1 dollar more than TW , i.e. in the 60 $ range
no Macon Inge , my favorite from TJ's a standard Macon Village is probably $ 15 , and nowhere near a nice as the TJ's M.Inge
which is of course not their fault. how Tj's stubbled on that wine Ill never know.
this store very much changed the SuperMarket dynamic in my area , for the better.
P.S.: no eel in the shush bar. I asked and was told that its on a non-sustainable list
somewhere
one last thought that might only interest me :
the shopping cart escalators are obviously on the same incline as the foot escalators.
somehow the carts stay level both going up and coming down
this requires further investigating
and of course of no interest what so ever , they have one of those Chi-Chi
