Save-A-Lot
Reviews and Complaints

please explain to me why a date of jan 20 19 is not an expired date. The manager at your Cortland NY store told me it was not expired. I purchased on/ 4/11/2019. He said expiration date was jan 19 2020 BS. So I took it back home and threw it in the garbage because I used it on a fish sandwich without looking at date. I discovered expired date after I consumed it. I do not eat expired food or rotten food. I bought a ham for Christmas . IT was ok Christmas day. the next day it had mold on it in the refrigerator. I have also bought rotten pork chops at that store and left them in the cart in the parking lot. I will never buy meat in any of your stores again.

This complaint is about the store at 311-4 Blanding Blvd O.P. Florida 32073.
I walked in and my Grand Daughter took a box off of a pallet jack and put it in my cart to place pineapples that I was buying. We barely walked in and the Manager "Ms D", took the box out of my cart and said it was against company policy to use the empty boxes. I said that we do it all of the time and she stated that the "President of the company" said that we can not use the boxes because the sign in the store says "bag your own groceries". She created an big scene with not only myself but 3 other customers in the area. She continued to make comments that were not necessary and was very rude to everyone that commented back. Is it company policy for a "Manager" to be rude and continue the rudeness to make a point ? I will not shop at this location again and I will be sure to tell everyone in my neighborhood to not shop there as well.

I have used your brands for a long time and tried a different type of kcup because you were out of my regular one and had bits of foil in my drink. It happened several times. I Have used my Keurig ( 2 of them) for years and never had this problem. I had later made a cup of tea using just the water and there was foil in it also. Just thought you should know. It may be harmful if a child had hot cocoa and it was in there. I go through 30 to 50 cups a week. The last one was called morning blend and was purple in the packaging.

I have a complaint of all the save a lots and the one on silver star road in Orlando. People are paying their hard working money and food in the store is not good. The food seems old and not better than Wal-Mart. When I was at the store at silver star road the cashier was rude and she seemed like she didn't care. Your cashiers are rude and the food is terrible. And why do customers have to pay for bags. Your company is ripping off its customers. Wal-Mart is better than save o lot and Wal-Mart don't let the people pay for bags with terrible food.

Workers need to make sure that the pricing signs they put in front of the dispalys at the end of the isles are not in the middle of the floor, i was in the store yesterday to give my daughter her money while she was shopping and i walked around the isle and boom i tripped over the sign and i jave a cut below my knee and leg is brisied. NO i did not say anything dumb on my part but i was hurting, embarrassed and pissed so i left, i am not a happy person right now.

I exclusively shop at the above store. During the past two months I have purchased (2) meat products.

One, was a package of lamb. When I opened the clear wrap the rancid, rotten meat smell stunk up the kitchen. I wrapped it up and threw it away outside to get the smell out of the house.

The second time, 2 weeks ago I bought some pork chop steaks. I put it in the freezer and thawed it out in the refridgerator to cook. I opened this package tonight and it wasn't fresh at all. This package smelled bad.

Just wanted to let you know I will not be buting meat from your store again. I don't trust it.

This company is gross. Their baking goods are disgusting and odd. My cake mix was terribly lumpy and didn't look pre-sifted and the cream cheese frosting I bought had no cream cheese at all in it. It tasted like plain vanilla, maybe even worse than vanilla. This devils food cake I bought isn't in the least bit sweet and it has a bitter taste to it. Atrocious.

While shopping inside the save a lot in Bridgeton, Mo. I noticed that the temperature inside was colder than outside. This is unacceptable as there are people having to work inside. We were told that the furnace is currently out and in the process of being fixed. One of the district or corporate managers was standing at the door but very unfriendly as customers moved about. Why not close the store until things get better. Making or losing money in one location could not possibly kill this business. It's very sad to see you guys work by the code "Profit over People"

I bought a mcdaniels iced mocha to give the brand a try. When I opened it I didn't get the coffee smell that most iced coffees give off. When I took a sip I gagged. I can only describe it as the taste from the juice of a picked sausage. The seal was closed on the bottle and everything. When I shook it up I did have a hard time getting the stuff on the bottom to go away (I included a picture). I am so turned off by this experience.

Hi

Today at about 1:15pm I went to your store in West Allis Wi. On my way in myself and other patrons were asked for spare change by a lady. Of course when we all said no she pretended to leave. At the point that I was ready to check out the Hispanic young lafy told me she was closed so I went to the other lane where an older white lady was working. Numerous other cutomers went to the Hispanic lady's line and she didn't turn any of those people away. All those customers were either Hispanic or black. The blank customer offered me to go but the cashier said she would take him sir. To me this was totally racist based on her actions. When i spoke to the Hispanic young lady she said she's not like that. I pointed out that based on her actions she is prejudice.
I feel that I wasn't welcomed in the store by management and reconsidering taking my busineas elsewhere that is not racist to white people.

I would like to file a complaint against one of your employees. His name is George Shoemaker and he works at the Save a lot in Greenfield, Ohio.
The reason for complaint is, 2 people that I know, ( and one of them being my 15 year old son) has went to the store and he has ran his mouth about me when hes working.
I rarely ever go in that store, as i do not live in that town. He is my uncle, and he is mad because of whom I married. But still, to me that is wrong for him to be gossiping at work to customers and being rude towards my son. Even if i lived in that town, I would not go into that store because of him being rude.
I get that its a personal problem, and I just dont feel like he should be slandering me to customers while he is at work. It is wrong.

I was in a Save-A-Lot store in Cheltenham, Pa on 12/31/18. The store was in complete disarray. While walking through the store I heard a lot of commotion coming from the back where only employees are aloud. As I approached the milk and juice freezer, I could hear laughter, profanity and witnessed an employee laying on the floor. As I stood looking for juice he got up and came onto the floor near me. He is a full time employee because I see him almost every time I go to this store. Another employee approached him and he proceeded to tell how crazy those MF's were. Then went on to tell her somebody was back there talking about P...y. They laughed some more as I walked down the aisle. As I proceeded up another aisle, I noticed who I think was a manager outside the doors leading to the back of the store. She joined in the conversation using such words as B...h and other profanity! What a disgrace and utter disrespect to the customers. I will never shop at Save-A-Lot again! If the management is chiming in with the employees how can we expect this store to operate properly. They need some training because their representation of the company is DEPLORABLE!

I went to several savealot stores trying to buy some and each store I went to does not have the product on the shelves the iced tea is the best one is there a reason why its not carried anymore I really like the product and every time I would buy some I would buy 10 or 12 boxes I wish you would please bring the product back there is no product that even comes close to it would really appreciate it thank you
