We had 2 or 3 Harris Teeter stores here, pretty nice ones I
might add. One might still be open but the one closest to
work was bought by Kroger last year and closed. Prices were
higher than Kroger but the one that I frequented on occasion
was located in an expensive part of the county.

To add to that other thread about unloading groceries and
conveyor belts the Harris Teeter here had those flat, square
shopping carts. When you reached the checker s/he dropped
down the front of the cart (think of a 'trap door' on the
seat of long underwear to get an idea of these carts)and
removed your items and scanned them. Groceries went down
the conveyor belt to the bagger. Your new store may or
may not have these types of carts and check out system.
