While we’re on the chicken tip, thanks to a reader for sending word about Farmbird.

This is the building where the Starbucks and Unleashed opened across from the soon to open Whole Foods. Farmbird’s Facebook says:

“Farmbird is a grilled chicken restaurant opening in Washington DC in early 2017. We’ve spent years developing the best way to prepare chicken and are incredibly excited to finally share it! At Farmbird, we slow-roast our chicken, grill it to order, then serve it alongside sauces and sides made from scratch daily.”

“Credit Cards at the 3rd & H Giant supermarket – cont.”

By Prince Of Petworth

Giant-PoPville

“Dear PoPville,

Yesterday, I received a notice from Chase that my credit card had been used for some potentially fraudulent transactions; 2 were at Giant supermarket, one at MAC cosmetics, and one was for some online service; Chase had flagged the first three and then cancelled the last one at my say so.  I’ve only used the card 3 times in the last 2 weeks and one of those times was this past Sunday at the Giant on 3rd and H- similar to this story you published a few weeks back.  For the record I used cashier checkout and the card had a chip but I don’t think I put the PIN in.  The purchases were attempted at a Giant in Silver Spring (store #0354), not the 3rd and H location.

I contacted store customer service for 3rd and H and they said they weren’t aware of any issues- not even the ones from a few weeks ago:/  It could be that my card was compromised at one of the other 2 or 3 places that I used it recently, but based on the experiences of others I think something’s going on here.”
