Ingles Markets Employee age discrimination

I was an employee of Ingles for about 8 years. Full-time for about 4 years. I am 62 years old and planned on continuing to work until our new store manager had a bookkeeper walk up to me and cut my hours from 5 days to 2 days a week. No warning, nothing. I was so upset I just stopped working. I don't think anyone should treat their employees like this. I ran the uscan ordered the tobacco and candy. I have a MBA and did my job. Someone needs to stop them from doing this to anybody else.

Claimed loss: I have lost a year of pay at about 12 dollars an hour. Ingles might as well not pay nothing. No raises but a quarter per year

Desired outcome: I want them to pay.

Ingles Markets Manager problem

I work at store #150 in Statesville NC, I’m on 3rd shift and I worked there since August 13th 2022, we had a new manager since May of this year and he didn’t even earn it. He worked there for 3 weeks and quit because he got mad at the manager at the time, trashed the entire pallet and walked out, and 3 days later he’s a manager. Well today, he was yelling and screaming at all of us this morning and my uncle, (he works there too by the way) was just trying to calm him down, and he cusses him out and grabs him. Throws him to the floor and assaulted him badly. I told him to get off of him, and he told me I was fired too and hit me for no reason. We were assaulted and fired because of his temper tantrum. His name is Darrell crane, and he’s 3rd shift grocery manager and his behavior is unacceptable, I said some things to that wasn’t good and all, but I couldn’t even defend myself because he was hitting us so hard. And they didn’t even punish him for any of it, the assault, the racial slurs non-stop, and he smokes weed on the job to where he’s got an anger problem every time he smokes. And they didn’t let him go? I’m getting a lawyer

Ingles Markets A manager

She has been unprofessional with an employee and lying. She trained her employee for gas attendance while she sat on her phone watching tik toks and reading sexual stories. She is a manager. She never said anything to her employee about doing any training videos until he was working there for a month. He works 6am to 3pm and they expect him to be there earlier, but take a while to relieve him. She has started to be very rude to him about finding time to do the videos. She is saying his needs to make time and stay after work to do them. However the employee has a very strict schedule and it was her job to have training videos done when someone is training, that is obvious. It is uncalled for that she did not have him do the training videos while she was with him down there training him. When he told her this stuff, she decided to write him up and lie. She lied saying he was not answering the phone right, claiming he only said "Yeah?" When he would say "Welcome to Ingles gas what can I do for you?" He only forgot to say his name. We believe she is trying to jeopardize his employment so she can continue to sit in the box. Her name is Carrie and she is a manager.

Desired outcome: I would like something done about her unprofessionalism. None of the other managers or coworkers are like that. She is the only one attacking her employees. Most of them say that she doesn't like her job and that is why she is like this.

Ingles Markets Empty shelfs all the time

Your Ingles store in Washington Georgia is the worst grocery store I have ever been in. The people there are not friendly and that usually means they are not happy with management. The shelfs are empty all the time it would be easier for me to list what they have then what they are out of. They are the only grocery store we have in town now and there prices are high.

Desired outcome: Would lie to have a well-stocked store with friendly people and reasonable prices.

Ingles Markets Deli

I was in the Ingles on Sand Hill Rd at 8 am on 9/17/23. I wanted to pick up a container of chicken salad for lunch. One employee was serving the other Ingles employees, there was an older gentleman slicing meat and a younger blonde woman in a ponytail walking back and forth. No one even looked at me as they passed by, no one asked if I needed help or even said Zi will be right with you. It was as if I was invisible. So now I am not going back since you have to be an employee to get served or go through a line to be served.

Desired outcome: I want your employees to be more attentive to their customers.

Ingles Markets Work

I’m a cashier at an ingles in Arden, Nc on long shoals rd. I love my coworkers and members of management, but I have an issue with one that I’m still having problems with. A Hispanic manager. She is very rude to me and always has an attitude when I ask her for help when concerning a customer. I have spoken to the store manager about her behavior and she is still rude and unprofessional. I am at the point of requesting a transfer because she is difficult to work with.

Desired outcome: Either I’m transferred to another store or she is taken off weekends.

Ingles Markets Employees

September 9th 2023 @ 9:06 am register number 16. I had bought more than I planned and told the bag boy I needed a bigger buggy, instead of him going out to get it I had to. Then I had to load my own grocery’s as he stood there with his hands in his pockets. I shop in this store almost everyday and never had this issue. Yes it’s a petty complaint but what was his purpose other than holding up the counter, he never once tried to help. What’s the use of paying someone to stand there. I’m sure your cameras can figure out the employee.

Ingles Markets - Buying Soda

Laurel Park Ingles Hendersonville NC. Trying to buy soda at the sale price marked. Three 2 liters for 3.98. We got 6. That's 3.98 x 2 + tax. Just about anyone could tell that would not add up to 13 dollars and some change. The manager Shawn Milstead walked over with an attitude. When he said the discount was there.

Ingles Markets Deli employee

I was shop at the Andrews store all the time. I've been doing all my grocery shopping at that store for over 5 years now. I get all my lunch meat cut fresh from the deli. Two days ago I was in the store doing my weekly shopping. I was walking by the deli when I noticed an employee was eating the deli food. That usually doesn't bother me, however, this employee was not wearing gloves. She was placing her hand inside the hot bar grabbing food out of the pans. I walked up to the deli to get some meat cut. Darcey, the employee, brushed her hands together, licked her fingers, and proceeded to the back of the deli. Another customer walked up and Darcey came back help to assist the customer. At this point she still has not washed her hands. I was very disgusted with the employee. As long as she is back there working I will not being buying and more meats from the deli. I am hoping this matter will be resolved as that is extremely unsanitary and could easily get others sick.

Ingles Markets Customer service in the deli/ lunch area

I am a uniformed officer, I went to Ingles store #240 @ 2404 hwy 81 Anderson SC at my lunch time there was 1 person working taking lunch orders. I waited by the chop Stix area to place my order. A second employee came over to help called the next two in line. After that the employee looked at me and went to help a person that just walked up after I've been waiting. I know she saw me as she looked right at me. I ended up walking out. If your employees are not going to support law enforcement/ Veterans it's a shame. I doubt if I will go there for lunch again.

Desired outcome: Re train employee's on customer service. Not be bias agaist law enforcement.

Ingles Markets Deli

On July 10,2023 at about 12: 45 a male employee (tall with facial hair) put his hands on his lip, then reached into the fried food area with his bear hands and pulled out a few pieces a few fried food. He stuck the food in his mouth, licked his fingers, then put the his hands into the fried food again to munch on more food. Another employee sold some of the same items to a customer which he had contaminated.

I reported the incident to a female manager who made me wait awhile while she finished her phone call. Her 15 second response to me, "What's your problem? Ok. I'll take care of it." She turned her back on me, then shut the door in my face.

I will be contacting the board of health since the manager and deli employees continued to sell the food.

Ingles Markets Rude management

I worked at ingles for over a year or so now. And the managers are rude. They don't care about their workers or their schedules. They tell you that the schedule is non negotiable and said that if you didn't like it to quit and find another job. I hurt my self at work picking up heavy boxes and I filed it and since then I feel like they have been trying to get rid of me since then. The managers will talk to you however they want and they expect you to deal with it. That's why the managers in the deli can't keep no workers because of the way they treat them. Ingles need to do better, especially in managing their departments.

Desired outcome: Treat workers better, and then yall would be able to keep workers .

Ingles Markets Behavior of Store Manager Misty Martin

I shopped store # 445 Ellenwood, Ga. on 6/28/23 at 4:28 PM, and purchased a total of $228.30, including one pack of cigarettes. After putting the items away later, I realized I did not have the cigarettes. I called the store the next morning and spoke to the Manager, Misty Martin. She took my name, number, and the time on the receipt, and said she couldn't just give me the replacement, would investigate and call me back. I told her I would not spend over $220 and try to cheat over a $6 pack of cigarettes. She said "I didn't say that"

I waited over 3 hours and she had not called, I went by the store. She said she had been busy and was going to call me LATER. I told her she didn't understand smoking. I purchased them because I was running out!

She said hold on and let her check the store CC camera. After me waiting 10-15 minutes she said "Yes, The video shows him ringing them up. What kind were they"?

SAY WHAT?!

My receipt shows they were rung up. You act like I am a criminal over $6.00?! She said "Well, I am not just going to give them to you without investigating."

She said "if it was any other item I would just say come in and get a replacement, but not tobacco items. That would be like having a pack of cigarettes just walk out the door"!

I was in retail management for many years, and that is NOT the way to treat people! I don't know where she learned her job but she needs a refresher course!

Thereis a Kroger right across the street, and a Publix nearby. I don't HAVE to shop at your store!

Desired outcome: Change her attitude about the way she treats customers !
