I'm giving two stars because it's a store and they remodeled. It's relatively clean. I'm not giving…read moremore stars because every time I go to self-checkout an employee starts pacing behind me or standing behind me to make sure I'm stealing. I bring a change purse and my own bag which I use to carry items because THERE ARE NO hand baskets. I take everything out and then flatten it so they can see there is nothing in there. One time I brought a change purse and no bag and bought one donut and Zyrtec. I was holding these two items. The guard told the White woman who works there that he thought I was stealing. She came over confused because there was nowhere for me to put anything. We shook our head and I paid and left. I rarely go here because I hate being treated like a criminal.

It really has to be something to get me to write a review. I have had more than a few incidents at…read morethis Giant. Unfortunately I have become accustomed to receiving subpar service/quality here so I've mostly ignored them. Most of the incidents revolve around lack of items, quality of items in some situations, store upkeep and customer service. I am of the belief that this is due to where this Giant is located. It is clear that this Giant and many nearby stores don't respect the customer base in this area. They don't seem to fear any retribution for the treatment of the people who patronize this store. We, as customers, are paying the same prices but receiving discount quality and service compared to customers at the same chain in different neighborhoods. The two incidents I've had involve one person. I didn't get the name but it was a middle aged white woman. I believe she was a manager of some kind. The only reason I'm distinguishing her race is because she may be the only white person working in that store as this is a predominantly Black American area. First incident: I was in line and ready to checkout in one of the 12 items or less registers. I was moving up in a line I was in for more than a few minutes (lines are consistently long) by now when the person in question came up and says, "this line is for 12 items or fewer". I look down at my cart and begin to count my items. I had 16 items. I just looked at her with bewilderment and moved to another much longer line (I wonder how corporate would feel if I put 4 items back costing the store money because one of their employees strict enforcement of FOUR extra items in my cart?) Trust me I totally understand adhering to policy and not slowing up the line for people trying to get in and out but this seemed a little excessive. On its own, this was not enough to illicit a response or review but the next incident raised my ire enough to report. Second incident: This incident maybe happened some four to five months later involving the same person. This time I'm checking out my items engaging in friendly banter with the cashier when the person in question comes up to the cashier, whispers in her ear then leaves. I didn't think anything of it until the cashier tells me she told her not to forget the water under my cart. At that point I had already told the cashier and she acknowledged. She looked uncomfortable telling me what she said. I told her that it was insulting to assume I'm trying to sneak out with a 32 pack of water. I don't really care about the excuse that this happens at this store. I'm sure water is paid for at a much higher clip than it is stolen. I didn't see where she came from but apparently, judging from both incidents, she is also a line monitor of some sort. Literally policing people as they're checking out. I almost wanted to take all the food back but continued. I don't think she is even aware or cares how insulting and disrespectful this is to customers. That is not my local Giant food store. I only go there when shopping for my mom who lives on that side of town. Luckily my mom doesn't request to go to this store much anymore because of the prices and I am totally fine with it. I had these two incidents during my sparse visits. I can only imagine the treatment regular customers receive.

The manager of the seafood department freezes the dead whole lobster not knowing that the meat can be bad and can cause you to get sick. They leave the dead crabs hoping some unexpected person who is unaware about buying crabs purchase them. They have very bad practices when it comes to food safety. The Asian guy over seafood is the worst and teaches the Hispanic employees to be nasty to black people.

Some of them don't even know it exists! I followed all the directions but they still treated me like a thief when I tried to leave the store. Paid nearly $200 for groceries only to have them make a huge scene and put me on display in front of the store while they verified video footage of me while they had both the receipt and all of the merchandise right in front of them. At that point, I just wanted a refund. I paid for everything, never left the store, all the merchandise was still in the cart, and they still detained me like a criminal. When it was over, out of the four or five employees involved, not one apologized for the misunderstanding. I like shopping at Giant but it's a shame you have to drive out to suburbia to be treated with respect. If they are going to treat people like this, they should just take the Scan It! out of the store. Wasted my time and ruined my day.

They tell you to reach out to them on the website. I went to the website and I could only leave feedback about the website. And I wasn't driving back to get a refund.

I can only speculate but I think because not everyone who shops here buys lots of fresh fruit and big packs of steaks, that stuff goes bad quickly and they don't stock it in abundance as a result, maybe because not everyone who shops here can afford that stuff. not sure.

They have a great baking section, spices, Asian foods, Hispanic foods. big cheese section and dairy. their eggs are crazy pricy though. they even have a large discount section. like a whole section with discounted products like cereal, beauty products and health products. This is a union store. what does that mean? I'll tell you. the employees are union employees. they are not like regular employees. I once had to ask the service desk for a cake I wanted to buy. the deli employees refused to get it for me, even though they work right there behind the counter. they were like, "no, I can't give you that cake." I'm like," just hand me the cake. I have money. I want to buy the cake." and they were like, "no I'm not going to give you the cake. I can't." This is because (as it was explained to me) the deli employees are not allowed to touch the cake as per their union contracts. which I get, you organized and negotiated a sweet contract, so you don't have to do the work or another department. but dude, just hand me the cake. you're not going to break your back by giving me a cake. so that's it.
