    I went to grocery outlet about two weeks ago and was attacked by four employees. One guy and three girls punched and maced me. After they attacked me I left the store to go outside but they followed me outside. When I went outside they attacked me again and maced me again. After the attack I have been suffering from head trauma, migraines, depression and PTSD. Grocery outlet needs to be held accountable for their vicious employees.

    I bought my mom a ****** Villains blanket - they are rolled up inside of cardboard tubes and sealed with plastic - for Mother's Day. When she opened it, it was not a ****** Villains blanket. It was some cartoon design that neither of us recognized and even ****** Lens could not identify! I didn't have the reciept because why on Earth would I keep it when I only bought a handful of expired food items and a brand new and sealed little throw blanket for my mother. I was told they could look it up with my card. Thank goodness. They'll right this wrong. I have the card I paid with and my I.D. with my at all times, perfect. I waited in line and then was guided to a different checkstand that was empty to await a manager. The manager - I have his name - finally came up and I showed him the absolute scam and pointed to the "****** Villains" blankets they still had on their shelves, explaining to him that this is legitimately fraud and false advertising and showed him that this cartoon is not even a ****** villain and how embarrassed I was when my mother opened it. He would not do the return, even when I asked for just store credit. They would not look up my transaction, they would not use my I.D. , they would not do anything for me. I was in tears; I was so angry and now even further embrassed. I am on a fixed income as I battle stage 4 breast cancer and they spat on my situation and could not care less about what they did or hold any accountability for the items they sell. I have never left a review on BBB but I've also never been scammed by a legitimate company either!
