Save-A-Lot sale items

Why does the North Port. Fl store not have sale tags up on first day of sale!And the meats on sale are never out for sale! If you ask they always say they just came in and sO am working on them! The never come back! Then if you come back in after noon they are sold out! I guess you don't want people to keep shopping there! I guess I should go somewhere else!

I was waiting in line with ten other people when miss rhanada told me and three others to move to her line so we did. She walked to the back and said I am coming then all of a sudden she just walked right out the store. I went looking for her and she was no where's to be found. So I had to wait back at the end of the line which turned into 15 people. Took me 40 mins to check out. Very dissatisfied.

Save-A-Lot david cummings yazoo city manager

I have been cursed out by David Cummings at the Yazoo City, MS area all because my terminal had frozen, he pulled me to the side and said "you supposed to [censored]ing tell a motherfucking manager not a head cashier [censored]" and I wasn't feeling my best because my mom was already in the hospital I was very hurt and when I tried to talk to him and explain that the previous customer signature was stuck on the terminal the head cashier closed my line down and restarted it, instead he went into his office and closed the door in my face.
Also, David have singled I Versace Lee out without giving me any hours while everyone else has hours for the past months. Recently, Mr.David have forced me off the schedule of no fought of my own. I have filed for unemployment and he has lied to the state like I voluntarily left Save A Lot on April 14, 2019 without a reason. I honestly was still on the schedule until May 4th. April 14th-20th I had 0 hours, April 21st-27th I had 0 hours, April 28th-May4th I had 0 hours and that was the last time I was on the schedule before I was forced off the schedule without a reason. If April 14th was my last day of work as he has reported to the Unemployment office why did Mr.David continue to put me on his schedule up until May 4th ? I have filed an appeal because he has lied to the state by making a fraud schedule and we now have to answer to the judge and I will be providing my evidence to the judge because he is very unfair with the position he has.

Save-A-Lot coburn farms strawberry banana lowfat yogurt

I wanna know why the yogurts taste changed when they were put in the dark blue container? When it was in the light green & white container the yogurt was the best I've tasted now it's one of the worst. Why was a change made if the yogurts were perfect? I use to spend $80.00 a month on them now I don't buy any because this new yogurt is horrible compared to the previous version of yogurt y'all had..
I added a screen shot of the great yogurt and the horrible one y'all have now both from the same company which makes no sense at all.
I need to know why this change was made I'm highly disappointed I can no longer buy the yogurt I liked.

Save-A-Lot service

I stopped in at a local Save A Lot to pick up some milk and it turned out to be a really bad day. After i check out, i headed for the door and there was a spill of soda that hadn't been cleaned up and there was no signage making anyone aware of the spill. I slipped on the soda and fell with a had full of items and ultimately had had to seek medical attention . to date, i haven heard anything from the store or the corporate office concerning this matter. If nothing else, I will make this know via the local news and social media how you handle your customers in these situations. Also have picture of the wet floor sign laying on the floor OUTSIDE of the store.

Save-A-Lot farmington farms bacon 6 pounds

I have contacted Farmington farms over this ordeal but they told me to contact the headquarters of Save a lot. we bought 6 pounds of bacon and after getting home and cooking for a family gathering we had BLT's the bacon was nothing but Fat literally only 5 % of the bacon was edible. we held onto the cooked stuff for a few days to contact the proper people but it got kind of nasty in the fridge. We simply want our Bacon replaced with something that is edible the guy from Farmington said sometimes the way the pig is processed the packing plant may pack what it thinks is bacon but will get a bad section and pack it ( we got the bad section) we love the bacon because of cost and the flavor is awesome for the price. My Name is Joseph Weinkertz 5 North main street Adams NY 13605. [protected]

Save-A-Lot marcum garlic pepper

Hello!
I recently purchased Marcum Garlic pepper from my nearby Savalot. I don't like to complain, but I'm offering a suggestion. Since it was labeled GARLIC PEPPER I assumed it was a powder, not a salt, so I poured it on as such AND ALMOST DIED of salt overdose! It's funny now, but instead of throwing good food away (I'm poor I don't do such things) I scraped it off as best I could and ate the saltier than I wanted pizza anyway. 😆 I then turned the bottle over to discover the first ingredient is salt. My suggestion is to label it GARLIC SALT WITH PEPPER so this doesn't happen to someone else, especially someone who limits their salt intake. Anyway, thank you for listening. I still love saving a lot at Savalot!
Sincerely,
Ms. Paula Berry

The Garlic pepper that preceded the Marcum brand was delicious. Does it still exist ? What was the name of that brand (Norcum) ?...I used to buy 2-3 bottles at a time. Marcum does not taste the same as the previous brand.

Used to be great very little salt Now it tastes like all salt
Garlic, Pepper, Salt and Brown Sugar. This was a very good combination. Now, salt is the first ingredient. It overwhelms the flavor. We all understand salt is cheap I would pay more to have the better flavor.

I made it a habit to shop at Save-A-Lot just to purchase Garlic Pepper made by Marcum. The store changed garlic pepper brand, so I don't purchase it anymore. This was the only garlic pepper that was not salty and lack garlic taste.

I too, agree! What A HORRIBLE SHOCK it was to the system. I virtually exclude salt from my diet for medical reason's. Not only did I buy one for me, but I also bought one to send to a friend out of state. He had never tried it and couldn't find it in his stores where he lives. I am so glad I didn't ship it out before I choked and gagged on it! And who's brilliant idea was it to widen the holes on the shaker part? Yet another bone-headed move. I will never buy your products again.

I agree with above comment. You changed the garlic pepper. I made trips specifically to buy the garlic pepper. Now I will not purchase it. I can buy salt with a little pepper and garlic anywhere. Someone made a very poor decision.

I was a big fan of the Garlic Pepper, but you changed the recipe for the "bad". The ingredients where Garlic, Peper, Salt and Brown Sugar. This was a very good combination. Now, salt is the first ingredient. It overwhelms the flavor.
It was not broken, but you tried to fix it - and broke it !

Save-A-Lot cashier/service

I haven't shopped at Save a lot in over a year and I decided to go in and shop but the cashier was so rude and unprofessional. I actually wanted to return all of my stuff. She didn't have a name tag on of course but she had brown wavy hair with what looked like blonde highlights and the name on the receipt says Erica. The store address is

1926 East Silver Springs Blvd. Ocala FL 34470 and the date is May 23rd 2019 on Thursday.

Rude and very unprofessional service from cashier Erica. She didn't have a name tag on but that's what the name said on my receipt. Won't be going back. She even shook her head at me because I couldn't move my cart to her until I could get my child out of the way. There was no one behind me so I don't know what the rush was. She should NOT be working with the public. I wanted to return all of my food just because of the cashier. She had brown wavy hair with what looked like blonde highlights. Date was May 23rd 2019.

Info on my receipt says C0020 #0129 17:40:14 S00177 R001

Save-A-Lot customer service

My mom is disabled & she loves to shop at Save a lot due to affordable prices. The store in Durham, NC has 1 accessible cart. Whenever she goes to Save a lot, they always have an issue with the cart, even when the cart is fully charged, they still give her excuses as to why she can't use the cart. Meaning the money that she was going to use at save a lot has to go to a different grocery chain because they don't want to allow disabled individuals to use the cart that was made for them. Do better Save a lot in Durham NC

Save-A-Lot morning delight buttermilk biscuits

While making donuts with morning delight buttermilk biscuits, I found shards of what appears to be glass, or very hard and sharp plastic. Several pieces were found, and my family and I would like to know who is responsible, and who will be held accountable for this? This is VERY dangerous, and now (since the biscuits had to be thrown away) inconvenient. (Photo included.)

Save-A-Lot corned beef hash

I opened this can of corned beef hash and it is extremely watery. Even cooking it had no effect on the thickness. The expiration date on the can is Feb 04, 2022. I don't understand why this can is watery so I would like a refund. I refuse to eat this or feed it to my child. I have included pictures. Thank you for your time, consideration and looking into this matter.

Save-A-Lot employees

Employees at work high out of their minds and allowed to wait on customers and still have a job. Smoking and doing drugs in the parking lot of the store and the manager is aware of this. Corporate is aware complaints have been filed and still nothing has been done about this. I dont understand how many steps have to be taken before something is done about this. Even have given names to the corporate office of the employees involved. One cashier was so high she stuffed money in her pants out of her drawer. The manager asked her what she was doing and she stated she didnt know what she was doing or where she was. All she got was sent home. Ridiculous! Someone will get killed or hurt before they clean this store up. I for one shop here and will keep reporting it until somethong is done! They sit out in a vehicle on breaks and do drugs and the managers are aware and allow them to return to work. They dont do anything because one of the employees has been at the store for a long while is what im told but that shouldnt matter.

Save-A-Lot customer performance-ladreke

Ref/Seq: 018501

While checking out an employee was considerably rude and possibly needs retraining on customer service skills or manners. The employee, "Ladreke, " instead of asking me or politely stating that I should remove my groceries from my hand cart, she said rudely, as if she knew me, "take the items out of the cart." When I paused because I was dumb founded as to how she spoke to me. She looked at me and said slowly, loudly, and rudely - "remove the items from the cart." I am unfamiliar with this rule and if it was an issue, I am familiar with manners and the occasional please. She is unprofessional. We exchanged derogatory words back and forth in the store and as an employee she should behave in a friendly/ customer service oriented manner rather than rudely engaging with customers in front of other customers.

That was my first and last time going to that store because evidently it is ghetto and the employees you hire are rude but well suited for that location. She is clearly unhappy with her job and should be relieved if necessary or retrained at minimum.

Save-A-Lot matia's cheese stuffed breadsticks

RE: Best before 5/05/20 09:50:28 1
Hello, attached is a picture of the cheese filled bread sticks I bought last week...4/26/19. There was NO cheese in the breadsticks! Not only did we not get cheese, but lost the portion of the breadstick that was removed to put supposedly cheese in them. I buy a lot of Mantia's products and was surprised about these! Thank you!

Save-A-Lot customer service

I went to your store in Fenton, MO. I sent my son in to get a bag of the Higgs chips. I was parked in front waiting for him. While he was walking out to get in the truck. An employee inside flipped me off then laughed and walked over to where I couldn't see her. I have been in there several times. She has blonde hair and her name tag says Julie.
I understand the store is closing. With customer service like that. There's no wonder.
Sincerely,
Stephen Albert
