Today was a great day at H-E-B! I stopped into HEB #639 around noon. The HEB was surprisingly empty for a Sunday, and I had almost no wait during checkout. I chatted with the cashier only to discover that one of my favorite HEB cashiers, S, has moved away to San Antonio! Apparently he is pursuing a career in pediatrics. Best of luck S!
Some friends and I went swimming at the greenbelt this afternoon, so we decided to also check out HEB #428, Brodie Ln. This is the first time for any of us to come to #428. You can imagine how excited we were! First impressions: the storefront of #428 fits the early '00s. But the small arches and simple white stonework hide a capacious, well lit interior. The spacious produce section sit underneath 20+ft windows facing east. Overall I would say that #428 has some of the best looking produce around. Great selection and of course prices on everything here. Some downsides to this HEB is its poor positioning relative to Brodie and W. Cannon Dr. Also its Bakery/Deli Section are in the middle of the store blocking travel from east to west. Outside the produce section, the selection is not all that great. For example, I could not find any buckwheat noodles. They also have self-checkouts, something I am hesitant of using. I don't know if this was just when I was there, but I had a man screaming "BREAD!" near me when I was checking out. Overall HEB #428 was a good experience, and I am sure to be back! I give it 7½ stars. Hope you all have an H-E-Best day!
That same thing happened to me one time I was at my local HEB in Houston. My Mom wanted some eggs so she sent me over with $1.50. I thought it would be a quick in-n-out job and I would be back to my favorite episode of Julia and Jocks (a sports &cooking show from when I was a youngster). But annoyingly, all of the packages were missing at least one egg. I don't know if this was some kind of joke but it was around Easter so that might have been related. I kept finding one that looked like it had enough eggs but just when I was giving them a light squeeze I determined to my surprise that there were actually plastic eggs as decoys replacing the missing eggs! I was determined to find a good carton so I leaned into the fridge with my whole body, and eventually crawled in past the fourth or fifth row of eggs. Finally, I opened one that had a full set of pearly white eggies. Just then, I felt a pair of hands around my ankles and a man yelled "Bread!" I shimmied back out and looked around but by then there was nobody around so I just bought the eggs and left. My Mom made a quiche.
