<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 22789303, member: 27832&quot;]I know the Harris-Teeter supermarkets here still have a meat department, and there are usually at least two people cutting meat in it when I&#039;m there. (I rarely buy fresh meat myself, though, so I don&#039;t interact with them.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Sprouts has one or two people behind the counter, too. Not sure about Food Lion, I mostly avoid their meat department. Aldi, of course, gets everything prepackaged.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aldi would love to take over the market from fuller-service grocers, but I don&#039;t see it happening. Harris-Teeter can apparently maintain their customer base with prices 20% higher than competitors on common items; there&#039;s no <i>need</i> for them to cut back.</p><p><br /></p><p>(And the self-checkouts at H-T still accept half dollar coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
