“This is one of the very few Shopper's left.... They were very popular in the 80's and 90's all throughout the Northern VA area, but they died off. They're known for having great produce and interesting, ethnic products. This location is very clean, perfectly stocked and had lots of employees. Seems that each time we go, it's dead inside. So, we go often, at least while in Stafford Marketplace to stay away from other people (not that we're scared of Covid, because we're not 'woke' like that... Rather because we'd rather stay away from all the other folks, just "because!"). Prices are a little higher than they should be. But they have self check out and nice fresh foods too.”

“Thank goodness Giants Grocery store treats its customers with respect and does not create suspicion based on color of its customers. On Friday, 8 December, I attempted to purchase gift cards at the Publix store 1640 Publix Way Stafford, VA 22554 United States Although I had a corporate card, my drivers license, and I offered to retrieve my corporate identification in the car, the store refused to sell me the gift cards because the cashier thought my purchase of gift cards was fishy and William, the manager, thought my actions was suspicious. My Story; Currently I am a Human Resource Manager for a distribution company that likes to acknowledge its employees for good performance by handing out $50 and $100 gift cards. Normally, I send my Human Resources Representatives to purchase the cards at the Publix store in Stafford County. It is important to note that both of these employees are people of color and we usually purchase gift cards ranging from $500-$1000 per transaction. Since I was purchasing over $1500 in gift cards, I thought it probably easier to go to the customer service desk. This way I would not hold up the cashier line. When I approached the customer service desk, I was informed by the cashier that David, the store manager, provided instructions to his team that they were not to sell any more gift cards to my employees or the company in which I work for. The cashier stated that my actions looked fishy. I asked to talk to a store manager and a few minutes later William appeared. I asked William about the stores refusal to sell me gift cards and he commented that he wasn't going to sell me the cards because our consistent purchase of gift cards looked questionable. William then wanted to know why we were buying so many gift cards and I told him it was for our employees so we could pay them. Once again, when I questioned the stores decision not to sell me gift cards, William commented that my actions looks questionable and that the store has a right to refuse service to its customers. Even though I had a corporate card, and my identification with me, that still wasn't good enough for this store to sell me gift cards. When I offered to go out to my car to get my employee badge, William commented that the badge was something that I could've easily had made myself. Once again I challenge their perception that my actions appeared suspicious. I encouraged William to call the Stafford County Sherriff's Department to report my actions as suspicious. William refused. However, William, once again, acknowledged that my actions appeared suspicious and the store has a right to refuse service to its customers. Once again, I encouraged William to call the Stafford County Sherriff's Department to report my suspicious behavior but William refused. I offered to stay so that the Sherriff's department could arrest me for suspicious or fraudulent behavior . Again, william refused to call the Stafford County Sherriff's Department. Finally, William did say he would call the Sherriff office to have me removed from the store. I encourage William to call the Stafford County Sherrif Dept to remove me from the store. At this point, William had that "deer in the headlights" look in his eyes as he was not sure what actions to take. When I asked to get the number to the regional manager, William refuse to provide that information and said I could just leave the store . So, I left the store went to Giants and purchase my gift cards So I'm still a little confused as to why a store would refuse to sell gift cards to someone with a corporate card and two identifications . Furthermore, I can only question if both of my employees, who made previous gift card purchases, would have been Caucasian, would that have made a difference? Either way, if you want great customer service experience where you're going be treated respectfully , then go shop at Giants. Steve”
