This is the Albertsons Grocery Store at 101 E Willow St, Long Beach, CA 90806
I have been complaining to the management for over a year now about the people that they allow to hang out in front of their store and beg. They are blocking the entrance and getting in your face as you enter and are leaving the store. Several times I have been verbally harassed black men, some no older than 21 years old and they say disrespectful things when you tell them “no, or leave you alone.
Greg is the manager, and I have complained to him several times. I have been told that they are very much aware that it is a chronic problem and yet all they can seem to do is ignore it. I have given them details on what has been said to me but for some reason they take their customer relationship so much for granted.
I suggested for them, since it is such a problem and out of respect for their paying customers, to assign a rotation of staff to go outside once every hour and run the people away.
This is the epitome of how retails take their customers for granted. Just come in and buy my items and keep my doors open but I don't give a damn how you are treated inside my store or on my premises. It's disgusting what I must go through and I spend at least $100 every two weeks on grocery there as a single person.
I don't like being taken for granted like this one bit and I think it's appalling that more effort is not made to remedy this problem.
