Yup.  There's a big difference in the pleasantness or "attitude" of the staff,
too.  About the only thing that doesn't seem to vary from location to
location is the price:  ALWAYS way, way, WAY too high for what you get
(IMO, of course -- you spend your money any way you wanna).

And frankly, in the BEST of the Chesapeake Bagel Bakeries I've been to,
the quality has NEVER been any better than what you can pick up at Giant
or even Shoppers' Food Warehouse for one HELL of a lot less money.  I swore
off these people about a year ago.  Won't be going back, and DON'T recommend
them.

BTW, I don't believe the word "Bay" is in their name, is it???
