  Great store great location. Big fan of the hot bar. The parking garage is also convenient.

  This was my first time shopping at this Giant and basically I came away with 2 issues that I find are important. First, I have a service animal and often run into trouble with businesses the first couple of visits. I always make sure to carry his paper work with me, even though businesses are recommended not to go to that step, as owners are not required to carry paperwork and denying entrance for lack of producing it immediately would subject the business to legal action. That said, with my phone down to 5%, I walked in and immediately walked to the security guard and showed him the letter before my phone died.l...and then someone asked. No employee, right through check out, made any comment to me, 'whispered' about me to co-workers as they stared. I never felt that I was not welcome as a customer. This is very rare and GREATLY APPRECIATED. Being able to walk into a store without the anxiety and fear of being yelled at, ridiculed and mocked the entire visit is obviously a plus. It gives the customers an idea of the priorities management makes in ensuring that they have a well trained staff, not just on, say, bagging groceries or slicing meats and cheese but many aspects of being a business that relies on the community it serves for its success. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to manuever around the store due to isles closed and pallets of items to be stocked blocking or hindering certain products. This is a 24 hour store and it was just past midnight.....AND...I typically do my grocery shopping at a 24 hour store, anytime time from 11-1. It is, and was,) frustrating that I was unable to complete my shopping list due to the condition of the store at that time. Stores have to be able to restock their shelves: Absolutely. I would be rating the store worse if the shelves were empty. But, the only other time I have seen a store just covered with pallets was when I worked for Jewels Grocery at the young age of 18. The big difference though is that Jewel closed at Midnight and that is when the major restocking began. It may just be that I have to figure out when restocking takes a back seat to the customer rather than the other way around. Or, maybe the store works on a better staggering approach. It was not just that it was inconvenient but it was a safety problem as well. Yes, the 2 points I mentioned are not the most important ones to the majority of shoppers at this Giant and that's why I gave it 3 stars . For my needs, and others like myself, the jury is still out. :

  Location and open 24 hours. Convenient! But go somewhere else if you want quality groceires. The produce is often already at the end of it's life. Giant does not use USDA meat grades at this store, so you do not know what you're buying. The store is also one of, if not, the busiest in the city, which can only be explained by it's location. Taking off another star for the small entrance and perpetually long lines.

  They often don't have what I'm looking for and sometimes run out of pretty basic ingredients, like onions. A lot of things (fresh turmeric, ginger) are only in stock sometimes. Call ahead of time to make sure things are in stock if they're even a little bit unusual.

  Giant at 7th and O Streets NW is outstanding! Well stocked. Friendly, helpful employees. Great made-to-order paninis. Delicious sangria at their bar (has daily happy hour beer specials).
