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...

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...

Is Ingles Markets Legit?

Ingles Markets earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds Ingles Markets to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 5% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, Ingles Markets is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with Ingles Markets, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

We found clear and detailed contact information for Ingles Markets. The company provides a physical address, 2 phone numbers, and 2 emails, as well as 6 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

A long registered date for ingles-markets.com can be seen as a positive aspect for Ingles Markets as it indicates a commitment to maintaining the website and its domain name for a long period of time. It also suggests that the company is organized and has taken steps to secure its online presence.

The age of Ingles Markets's domain suggests that they have had sufficient time to establish a reputation as a reliable source of information and services. This can provide reassurance to potential customers seeking quality products or services.

We looked up Ingles Markets and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While Ingles Markets has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 5% of 174 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • We detected that ingles-markets.com is missing an SSL certificate, which is a cause for concern. Without an SSL certificate, the website may not be taking adequate steps to protect users' sensitive information. This can increase the risk of intercepted data being used for malicious purposes.
  • Ingles Markets protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.
  • If you purchased a website from Ingles Markets that is currently for sale, and you did not receive what you paid for, you may be a victim of a scam. To try and get your money back, you can try contacting the seller, filing a dispute with the payment platform, or reporting the seller to the relevant authorities.

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 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 Pharmacy and denial of medicine in system.

I came to ingles on west Blvd shelby to pickup wife's medicine. It was called in yesterday and said it would be available today. I ask at pharmacy for medicine they said they don't have it at this store. Which I was today t would be here. They said it was at store across from walmart. But the store was closed due to an emergency. (Strange emergency happen to be labor day. Anyway I ask if that store was closed why could they not transfer it to the west dixon store. One would have thought I had ask for a miracle. the pharmacist said it's ingles policy not to be able to do that. Sad service. System either broke or don't care.

Desired outcome: Make pharmacy or pharmacist take care of customer and fix broken system. Making people wait for o medicine is sad and uncaring. Jeff Gregory [protected]. [protected]@hotmail.com

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 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 .
