I made A purchase with stop and shop on June 12th for Delivery the driver which was through instacart never made an attempt to contact me and was no where in front my building with my order and she cancelled my order and left with my items. I requested a re delivery for the same day they told me they could not do that because all the time slots were gone. I was advised I would be receiving my refund within 2-5 business days today is June 21st and my EBT benefits have not been refunded to my EBT card and everytime I call I get the same answer everyone is going to escalate this to billing or a supervisor and no one has called me back since. Im very frustrated because how am I suppose to get my groceries and it should not take that long for a refund to be returnedBusiness response

I really like nature promise chicken but it's been incredibly hard to find good fresh tenders or b****** lately at either stop and shop or Hannafords.Customer response

Stop and Shop supermarket ( store 810) in ********** , ** Our family has shopped at Stop and Shop for many years and we have never had any problems until today . As elderly people special my self is disabled person , we like this supermarket: very clean with good variety of food , always sales , so we can save some money, special this days.This week's circular (May *****) advertises digital deals for California red cherries for $2.49 /lb , limit 4 pounds. Coupon was downloaded to my cellphones stop and shop application.Card # *************. When I downloaded the coupon price shows in application as $2.99 instead of $2.49 that was shown in the circular and price in the store.When we tried to pay on self checkout the digital coupons did not appear for a discount. We asked the person who works on self checkout to manually enter code for cherry and it came out with price $2.99 per pound. I showed the circular with a price $2.49 , she said that we should go to regular cashier.In regular checkout Cherrys were $2.99 per pound as well .When I came to customer service , the representative said that everything is right, I got the correct $9 saving. However when I asked her to calculate price for 3.63 lb Cherries for price $2.49 , she understood that Cherries were incorrectly calculated $2.99 instead of $2.49.I feel it is deceptive advertising and misleads consumers. It was very frustrating, the cherries should have shown up as $2.49 and I shouldnt have had to prove to anyone that I was being honest. It was very frustrating.I just wonder how many people paid $2.99 per pound instead of $2.49 Please find attached photo form digital coupon , circular and receipt. Please let me know if you need any additional information.Sincerely, ********* BarinbergBusiness response

Today, I decided to go shopping for meat with my sister at a supermarket called Stop and Shop. While looking at sausages and steak meat, one of the employees asked in Spanish, "What are you looking for?" I responded with "steak meat." He then called me "cabezn," which means "big head" in a derogatory way, and said I needed to be more specific. I ignored the remark because my sister was with me and told him I wanted meat for grilling but was planning to buy a lot to compare prices with ***********************. He rudely suggested I go to *********************** and not to come back just to buy sausages.This was especially upsetting as I had never met this employee before, and he disrespected me in front of my family. I am a cybersecurity student on the presidential list of honor, and I found his behavior completely inappropriate. Angered, I left the sausage in the cart and asked to speak with a manager. A helpful woman who was organizing the store found a manager for me. I explained the situation and described the employee as having a *****, working in the meat department, and appearing to be Puerto Rican with dark skin. The manager assured me he would address the issue with the employee Who is this guy to tell me in front of my family dont come back if you are only coming to buy a sausage.Worse supermarket ever I hope this can be post it onlineBusiness response

I purchased a Macys gift card from store 529 on May 8 as a gift for my wife Mothers Day. Try to use it this morning and it would not work. She called Macys. ***** had told her the car had been used in April and please go back to the store and ask for a new one or refund. I went to the store with this information. I went to the customer service window and met with the same woman who I had purchased the card from originally. I was told first the card was defective then I was told it was processed correctly on our part. You need to make a complaint with ***** we will not give you a refund , I was shocked. Ive been at the store since day 25 years ago felt very slighted went home and told my wife. She called Macys again and was told by ***** that the card had a zero balance or it was defective. What should she do again? She was told to go to the store where it was purchased. Now she went to the store and spoke to the manager the lady at the window and got nowhere and was told that they will not honor a refund or just a simple exchange for card and then Stop & Shop would deal with it , Im hoping you could help it. Weve been loyal customers a whole family.Business response
