This store sold me spoiled chicken that was clearly unsafe to eat. When I returned it, the situation got even worse. The employee I dealt with was rude, dismissive, and outright insulting. He actually questioned how I knew the chicken was spoiled.nnFor context: I worked as a chef for 6 years. Identifying spoiled meat is basic food safety knowledge — the strong rotten smell and slimy texture were undeniable. Being challenged on something this obvious, especially by someone working in food retail, was both embarrassing and infuriating.nnInstead of apologizing for selling rotten meat, the employee chose to argue and imply I didn’t know what I was talking about. That level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable, particularly when dealing with a serious food safety issue.nnYes, I received a refund — but only after dealing with attitude, disrespect, and wasted time. Selling spoiled meat is bad enough. Treating customers like they’re ignorant when they raise legitimate safety concerns is even worse.nnManagement seriously needs to retrain staff on basic food safety and customer service. I will not be returning, and I strongly warn others to be cautious when buying meat from this store.

Great grocery store always has great flyer deals and is very competitive in pricing. Friendly staff as well always willing to help.
