That's just amazing.

I don't know what kind of town you live in but when I was living in small towns out in western nebraska everybody had the outcry of "buy local buy local!" Smaller towns and small places are dying because they're losing to the likes of Walmart and Target.

but when you get treated like this at a local market...it makes me wonder if they really want to die out. And I guess I don't know the size of the place you went to but..again why would you want to give someone a reason to not to come back?

    If someone takes the time to go back to an establishment to complain, then typically it's a legit complaint. I don't know about refunding your groceries, but something was in line. Maybe 50% off or something. If it were me, I'd write the corporate office and tell them I am not coming back. I would then add that my new mission in life is to tell as many people as fast as I can at what a horrible establishment it was.

    Something similar happened to me trying to buy shoes online. I ordered them and they didn't fit, so I sent them back asking for an exchange. Keep in mind, this is all UPS trackable. I get the shoes. That's D1. I return them on D3. They tried to deny me my return stating the shoes were worn. After about a week of back and forth, I drafted a letter to the president of the company (had to find his name online). I copied my letter and forwarded it to the manager I was working with. In my e-mail I told her this letter was already sent (it really wasn't). In the letter, I stated something very similar to the above. I don't get like "that" often, but I was pissed. My letter was over a page long talking about how I didn't care about the $40, just making sure no one ever went to their website.

    Amazingly, my exchange went through as soon as that manager received my e-mail with that letter.

    Sorry if this is in the story...I read it earlier today and am just now commenting. Jen, is it a chain or is it a mom-and-pop type place? If it's a chain, you should write to customer service using some sort of management type address. You might be able to find something like that on their website or by calling an 800#.

    If it's not a chain, I'd try going back when a different shift is working. You might get a better, more empathetic manager on shift then.

    Some of the ones I use have limits, some don't. I think it depends on the store.

    I was thinking earlier that some days I really wish I had the last name Soprano.

    The store was King Soopers, or Kroger depending on what part of the country you're in. In CO the 2 chains are King Soopers and Safeway. It's very much the "local" store.

    I'm definitely writing a letter. I mean, I left the ghetto to put up with shit like this?

    The manager actually told Ross that the 15 limit thing is a guide and certainly not something they are supposed to enforce. He said that plenty of people just prefer to handle their own groceries and he's not sure why this dbag went on a vendetta about it.

    Yeah, Dan. It's still very much like that in Western NE. The prices at the local store in Ross' hometown is outrageous, but his mom insists on shopping there. Sometimes she'll drive to Grand Island for bulk stuff, but everyone believes in keeping it local. I would like to think with a Super Target up the road here, this store would feel the same way but I guess not

    Thanks for letting me bitch. Apparently the suburbs take some getting used to

    I actually have a Kroger card on my keychain because one time in Columbus I could save like $.30 on something when I was shopping. Jesus, I'm cheap.

    Damn, Jen, that sucks that you were treated like that. I know if some jagoff talked to Laura like that I would have been down there in about fifteen minutes and that idiot would have either apologized, lost his job, or I would have probably spent the night in jail.

    I always fucking hated King Sooper's. Don't they have an Albertson's (I think that was what it was called) near you?

    I use self-checkout all the time (I actually prefer it) and in all the places I've lived, have never seen an item limit mentioned. It's definitely letter writing time. I hope that Thor loses his job.

    Sounds like when I eventually make it out there to visit you, I'm taking you grocery shopping...

    It's just a habit of living in the city to have a limited number of places to shop so I just defaulted to King Soopers. Now I have Safeway, Super Targer, Sunflower Market and Whole Foods. F that noise. Ross was not happy. After I told him what happened he just said, "Jesus Christ" and walked out the door without another word

    Albertson's is a dying breed in Denver I know of one in a 60 or so block radius from my house.

    All of the King Sooper's have that damn "15 limit" thing on their self-checkout aisles, but none of the other stores that have self check do, at least as far I've seen.

    I haven't been to one in YEARS. I think the closest one to me is in Stapleton-ish, but that's not saying much because Stapleton is a good 20 miles away.

    Sunflower Market, FTW.

    Thanks for the sig, Raj

    Wow, I thought I was far from Stapleton.

    Sunflower Market is good for most of your shopping needs, indeed

    I saw that on your facebook but didn't know what you were referring to. I thought maybe you had found someone new and were brown-bagging* Hudak.
