Save-A-Lot my chance

A guy that looks like he was the store manager charged me $3.44 twice he has short bushy hair he wears glasses he's Redskin he's short I believe that he is the store manager I had a problem like this before and it had a girl that overcharged me she took $0.25 more from my pockets that she didn't deserve and when I went back to tell him about it she said she knew nothing of it so this time I'm telling you that this guy what glasses on he looks like he could be the store manager here will charge me $3.44 twice for one pack of meat and I'm calling to let you guys know her because these people act like they don't know what you're talkin about but you guys do have cameras so please bring the cameras to see this man overcharging me and please let him return me my money back cuz I think it's very unfair for me to pay more when I barely have any money at all this is why I come to save a lot so I can save not be ripped off and I'm reporting it here because most of the time when I talk to those people they act like somebody's doing them something and my mother also told me that she went there and was asking him a question about that they have any more asparagus and brussel sprouts and they had an attitude problem and told me that they will bring it out whenever they felt like it so this is why I want to report this here because I do not need them making me look like I'm the bad person when I'm just a customer trying to get my change correct

Lying on people is slander maybe you need to learn to stay in school and get an education cause your lil jitta bug [censored] need to learn how to spell. And secondly you would get sued and made to leave the state for lying on people to be a spoiled lil brat. You need a good [censored] whooping

Save-A-Lot corporate management

This is for all your corporate managers.
When you walk into one of your stores and ask a cashier where all the important people are.. not only are you a piece of crap for saying that but your cashiers are IMPORTANT! I overheard that at store # 610 and I tell you what if I was that cashier I would have knocked you out! Keep in mind just because you are a corporate manager doesn't mean you are above anyone.

Save-A-Lot staff

Every time my fiancé goes down to "save a lot" it maybe close to closing but the staff are so unprofessional. My fiancé literally has to hurry through the store because one employee is over the intercom saying we are closing in 5 minutes mind you there's about 25 minutes until they close 7 pm on a Sunday. He literally walks in and has a bald white Caucasian man (employee) fallowing him around the store or they are scurrying to put stuff away shutting lights off in the freezers ect. Either way I'm sure this will be our last time at this location! Very unprofessional very rude staff and very unclean store just nasty and despicable.

Save-A-Lot spoiled pork chops bone in

My wife and I had bought pork chops from this store and cooked them. They had a strange odor and taste like kinda sour. This location has been known to sell out of date food to customers just to make a quick buck. They will even go so far as to put it on clearance up by the registers. The manager Solomon is really cheap and tried to argue with us saying the pork was undercooked. I used to work in meat for over 5 years so I know what bad meat tastes and looks like. If nothing happens as a result of this I will seek legal counsel because both me and my wife are sick. This is not how you run a business.

Save-A-Lot baked beans and tofu

You should really have vegan or vegetarian options of Baked beans. It's a plant, why put meat in all of your baked beans and Unveganize then when they are grown from the earth... and PORK the worst meat... it would be nice to have that option considering veganism is getting to be more common. Very Inconvenient. And the manager that I asked was rude saying "that's the point of baked beans" no, they are called baked beans not BACON Beans. Also, tofu is super cheap and a great option. Please add this to your stores.

Save-A-Lot closing early

I live a two minute walk away from this save a lot and I like going there for the prices. I understand that closing time is 8pm, but I just went there to purchase coffee creamer. Knowing that there was only a few minutes but I knew where I was going in the store I would have been at the register within one minute of stepping foot in the store. As I walked in the side walk of the store, the cashier locked the door. It was 756 pm. I work at tops and I understand wanting to go home, but there is no reason that the cashier closed that few minutes early. I am fine taking all of my money and my families money to tops. I prefer shopping at save a lot considering the prices are wonderful but I would appreciate if someone would oversee that the cashiers keep the store open till 8 pm as it is set on the doors and online. That is just the correct thing to do! Thank you. Have a nice day!

Save-A-Lot service

My name is angelica aguado. I've shopped at warsaw ny save a lot my whole life. I walked into the save a lot in warsaw ny, a store number 243. I shop there all the time. My fiance was with me and was immediately pulled into a side room by a woman (crystal, a manager) told him there was a warrant for his arrest being he hadn't paid money from a bounced check that was months prior and she hadn't seen the money yet. My fiance, richard oldendorf tries explaining the situation that he had paid the money back in full and this woman continued to threaten and question him further with also stating she would call the cops. After the conversation ended the manager crystal decided to do her job and realized that it had been taken care of IN FULL over a month ago... she should have checked prior to any sort on of threat of police or warrants and he shouldnt have had to repeat hisself so many times. She continued to come out and talk to him in front of other people who were shopping and I told her the conversation needed to end. I will be speaking with the store owner the moment I'm able to, this situation was handled so poorly and I shop there very often so I believe there needs to be some sort of repercussions when a situation is handled so poorly because a manager cant do her job right. The whole situation was embarrassing and upsetting.

Save-A-Lot district manager and human resource rep

I reported a sexual assault that happen during the Florida meeting to my DM by another DM. Initially I quit because I didn't want to deal with it but after a week she convinced me to come back and promised that I wouldn't have to be around manny. Well she got fired and he became my dm. Thankfully he only came to my store 3 times during the six months he had the store.

I did my best to work through it, got counseling, started anxiety pills and moved on. During that time I trusted a friend, my meat cutter, and allowed him to do things for me. Now once I was on the bed and good I stopped letting him do things, tried to hold him accountable, and he turned on me.

Since I had bad blood with corrondulay in the past I never felt like I could go to her. She had manny fire me yesterday so my story needs to be told.

There are many people that know what happen, his nephew was a witness but convienently left save a lot a few months ago.

Look, I made mistakes during a very difficult time in my life but I'm a damn good manager and have had success at every store I've ran. I'm good losing my job because a company like this is not good for me but I'll be damn if I don't tell my story. I'll have to report it to unemployment as well. 😕

Also his nephew and him had an argument so I tried to make him claim that he was a witness to the sexual assault but he was going to go through with it, but then he said that he could not do through with it he would feel guilt.

I have a confession to make. Actually I am being bullied and threatened with a l lawsuit to make the confession. manny never sexually assault me. I made it all up because he fired me. i was angry at the time and now he is saying that if i do not tell the truth he will take legal action. I was mad at manny for firing me so I lied and said that he sexually assaulted me.

Save-A-Lot employees

Went in around 4. I was in there for about an hour and got to register. Once again one cashier the other was back talking I guess to a manager. Everytime I go in to this store this associate and manager are always I would call it flirting. When she is at the register she is on the phone texting. The manager looks to be a Hispanic young man. Skinny and black hair. The female is shorter also looks to be Hispanic and black hair. When I went in this time I was in her line for about 10 min. I was behind this older lady. I turned around and she decided to turn off her light. When I started to put my stuff up on the belt she was like I'm closed sorry next register. I told her I was in line and refused to move. She then proceeded to leave the register. The other cashier said go ahead and come to this line. I think her name was felicia. She was very nice and told me she was sorry and I will let the manager know. I am not going back into this store until this problem is resolved. Who treats customers that way

Save-A-Lot marcum coarse ground pepper

The bottle and coarseness of the pepper grind has changed in recent months. Your current product is not the same. The changes made have resulted in a loss of quality. This new pepper grind is not as large as the previous and that changes the unique flavor it used to have. The plastic shaker cap on the new bottle is hard to open, and to control the amount of product coming out. I used to shop save a lot specifically for that particular bottle of coarse ground pepper. I've tried to like the new product and bottle, but am disappointed and frustrated. Please bring back the original coarse ground Marcum black pepper in the square plastic spice bottle that retailed for $1.49 in southern Tennessee to replace the finer ground $0.99 round bottle.

4624 South orange blossom trail Orlando Florida 32839... [protected]...

All three employees are persistent in their efforts to racially profile, Lie, and stalk employees whom they think are not financially fit to be there... I have shopped at save-alot for 17 years and I'm tired of the [censored] associated with the save-alot corporation and its employees...

Security guard Charles, cashier Valentina, and Supervisor Rico are the sick people working for you... All of your stores around Orlando are the same and I won't tolerate none of them...

Save-A-Lot customer service and cleanliness

At checkout I noticed the employee/cashier (who I later found out was the store manager) eating white castles at the register. That wasn't the main issue it was the fact she was picking at her food, licking her hands and fingers while hàndling the e customers cash. When it was my time to proceed I stated that the situation occuring was unsanitary. She then mugged me and continued to pick at her food and lick her fingers shortly after trying to hand me my receipt. I couldn't really complain int the store to a manager due to her being the manager .. please address the severity of sanitation exspecially in a food environment. I wonder what else she allows to happen. So sad that she is even a manager during such things. But hey I guess u give a title to someone they feel they can do whatever.. this is the save alot on Riverview at the circle.

Save-A-Lot wylwood black eye peas

Today I purchased a 16 oz. package of Wylwood Black Eye Peas at the Save-A-Lot store at 709 West Main St., Fairfield, IL., 62837, For $1.49. I brought the peas home and started to rinse them and then soak them over night as per the directions on the package. The quality of these peas was very inferior. Over 1/4 cups of the peas looked molded and black, not including the rust colored ones in the package. I would like a full refund on this item. I have never seen such inferior quality packaged in my 34 years of teaching foods.

The receipt has at the bottom:Cashier Name: Jordan

Save-A-Lot price increase / different brand

I shop at save a lot once a week every friday and most of the time i have a good time shopping. I go at 8am when they first open and sometimes they dont have all the products out like meat and sometimes sale items. i go early, my issue i writing about is more a price issue than anything else and its only for one product rite know. To you it mite not seem a big issue but my favorite hot sauce is kurtz bayou heat louisiana hot sauce it was 99 cents, i would buy 2 or 3 a week, well on june 21, 2019 i went to shop and seen the price went up from .99 cents to $1.99 . Know for me thats a big increase and i can only buy 1 that day. sometimes i spend up words to 60.00 to 100.00 a week there, and also my favorite taco mix you dont have anymore marcum brand seasoning for tacos. these issue may not be big to others but a full dollar increase and some other prices going up to. favorite seasoning gone, hope its a mistake. this probably want help change any thing but i wanted to tell someone thanks anyways
