A letter recently sent to Thrifty Payless Inc., by one of our readers. Hello, My name is Joleen and I have always been a big fan of Thrifty brand ice cream.  In fact, I have always thought Thrifty’s ice cream can compete with the biggest brand names.  However, when I was enjoying an ice cream cone [...]

Hi Annette, I feel like a victim of this scanning law problem as well. I went to Rite-Aid to buy a few items and try to find a cheaper brand of face powder than what I normally buy from the very high-end stores (my husband has been laid off since October and I cannot in [...]

I have decided the Wal-mart is just not the store the founder created. I have read some of the complaints and I agree. If Sam were still alive this would not happen. But since he is gone a new Wal-mart has been born. One complaint that I did not see was the door greeter. It [...]

Unsanitary Birds Flying Around The Boynton Beach, Florida Wal-Mart My daughter and I were shopping at the Boynton Beach, Florida Wal-Mart when suddenly we noticed birds were flying around the store, leaving droppings and eating the food directly from the shelves. We immediately contacted the manager (Megan) on duty. She did not bother to call [...]

I hope this is for Meijer headquarters; I just spent $1,200.00 on turkeys for my company (on November 20, 2008).   When I went to pick them up they used a cart with boxes of turkeys and pushed it outside and went back in and closed the door, which locks automatically. The boxes weighed 60 [...]

Retailers say scanner technology has several advantages: speeding checkout time, lowering labor costs, and improving sales and inventory records. They also say that scanning results in fewer pricing errors than manual entry.

I recently had a very bad experience with subway. I purchased a Turkey Breast Sub and took it back office only to end up choking on turkey feathers that had been processed into the meat. If that was not horrible enough, I went back to talk to the store manager, (my office is in the [...]

Meijer employee takes customer services complaints personal. Hey I’m a Meijer employee myself, and all I’ve read was complete ignorance. For one I am 20 years old I make $7.40 an hour, and forced to pay ridiculous dues for our union. In the end I barely make enough money to make it to work let [...]

Stop Telephone Harrassment by Debt Collectors   This isn’t exactly a “shopping” story but one that you may find interesting and hopefully helpful. I’ve written several articles in the past about our cross-country moves — one of the worst and costly mistakes my husband and I have ever made. It took us a long time [...]

Hi! I need to find out who do I complain to about a disservice to a disabled person. I took my brother to Wal-Mart with me on Monday, October 1st to do some shopping. My brother went outside to smoke a cigarette; he was with his worker, from the clinic he goes to for his [...]

This is a huge rant for the Wal-Mart Super Center in Evans, Georgia on Washington Road! My boyfriend and I visited to cash a check at what they like to call “Customer Service”, in which is a bunch of bull, and to also spend $150 in groceries. To start off with we were shorted $100 [...]

While paying for mine and my son’s sandwich at a local Subway, I noticed that the girl behind the counter reached into the bread oven, took out a loaf, cut off a piece, ate it, returned the loaf to the oven, and did so without plastic gloves. I was horrified. She had greasy hair, zits [...]

On Wednesday, May 2nd, I bought a bag of lemons from my local Kroger store in Shepherdville, Kentucky at a cost of $3.79 a bag for 7-lemons. By Friday, May 4th, all of them were spoiled. They were kept in my refrigerator. I returned to the store on Saturday, May 5th, and was told they [...]

Hello, Yes I am a man and I do believe that at least half the men in the US of A hate to shop at Wal-Mart. I’ve had several bad experiences with the store in Rincon, Georgia. It started before my wife passed away in 2002. The wheel chair — when someone finally found one [...]
