Wakefern, Unjust Firing & Health Concerns at Bayville, NJ. ShopRite. Finding the right contact at Wakefern has been a challenge, but I feel compelled to share my son’s experience at the Bayville, NJ ShopRite deli (store #618). The conditions were unsanitary—old meat left on the floor overnight, expired hams sitting for weeks, and deli meats past their expiration dates being sold to customers. When my son raised concerns, his manager dismissed them. After repeatedly witnessing these issues, he mentioned contacting the health department. Instead of addressing the problem, the manager fired him on the spot. He had wanted to transfer to the Toms River store (#604), where he previously worked in a clean, well-managed deli, but he was unable to get in touch with HR. As a recent widow who has already lost a son, this job was important to our household. His firing was unjust, and I will no longer shop at this store due to its disregard for cleanliness and employee concerns. I will also be sharing this experience with others.

Wakefern, Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies. I am writing today to compliment you on these cookies. They are delicious my grand children love them can’t buy enough of them. Thank you for these cookies at an affordable price.

Wakefern, Pharmacy change manufacturer of a serious medication, without prior notice until I picked up refill. Very upset. Long time prescription was changed, without prior notice of change. I was assured medication was exactly the same. It was Not the same. After taking the medication for 2 days, I realized, since nothing else had changed, it was the medication. Went back to the Pharmacy, and was told they could not take it back, etc. Not what I was asking for. I wanted the original medication I had been taking. Apparently, ShopRite no longer deals with the distributer I used. I ended up at my doctors office, where we tracked down a pharmacy that carried what I needed, however, it took another 4 days to get the meds back into my system and began to feel better. This medication has very severe side effects, which I will not go into on a public forum. However, I was lucky to recognize what was happening. I was and am very disappointed by this action and while I was lucky, how many others might not be so lucky. This is a scary thing. If I was older and less mentally aware, the side effects could have been life threatening. Wakefern needs to be aware of this.

Wakefern, Poor quality and customer service! I order online as I am disabled and cannot grocery shop. I have and still use other grocers online with better success than Shop Rite. For Christmas, part of my order was asparagus. It was skinny, shriveled up and dried out. I have had other equally disturbing and poor to bad quality produce in the past, so I seldom buy my fresh greens from Shop Rite; however, this time I was in a bind and was I sorry. Shop Rite also fees you to death both nickel and dime-ing on paper bags, $5.00 just to use their poorly designed website, no credits on anything bad they sell you If You Can’t Get Back To The Store To Return It!!! Accommodations should be made available for disabled people. Other online grocery services credit your card when something is bad, broken, out of date, etc. but not Shop Rite. Some of the food looks like it was taken out of the dumpster. How can Shop Rite turn a profit if they lose so many customers? There are better alternatives and Shop Rite just does not compete.

Wakefern, bugs in Barley. My husband bought Barley from Shop Rite in Kingson, NY 12401. He brought the groceries home. Started putting groceries on the counter. He reached in the bag and brought out 2 pkgs of “Bowl and Basket” barley. He said, ” There are bugs on these.” Sure, enough when I looked at the barley there were bugs in the bags of barley. Then there were bugs on my counter where I put the bags. They were loaded with them. Called the store so they would know. They said we can return them. This is nasty.
