I have been in this area for a little over three years now and I visit this store often, it is a…read morenecessary evil and far from any kind of decent shopping experience. In the three years I have been going there spending thousands of dollars I have been plagued with having to go out in the parking lot to find the smaller shopping carts. Early in the summer (2019) I finally had enough and called the store manager from the parking lot and complained about this. I put up with it all summer again, obviously ignored. On Veteran's day 2019 I went in and there were no small carts as usual, this time I asked the greeter to get me one and she did. For the record I am a disabled U.S. Veteran who suffers from PTSD and on Veteran's day two different greeters never said a word to me while wearing a sweatshirt that says in huge letters VETERAN. I came home, called the same store manager to which I was told 250 carts have been ordered, as for the greeting...oh well I guess. I was also told to ask for a cart when there were not any. I also filed a complaint with corporate, I got another call from the Brewer store manager telling me things would be better and again to ask for assistance if the carts were not there. Today I go in, one week later and no small carts. I went to the greeter and asked him to get me one, he refused. I told him his manager told me to ask for one and this employee still refused and told me verbatim "if you dont like it you can go somewhere else". I waited for a manager, (not the one I talked to on the phone) who only sought to degrade my issues as if it was my fault or perhaps just too petty. He told the employee to apologize but the employee did not, no one got me a cart and no one apologized for any inconvenience. The only time someone apologized WAS CORPORATE. I came home and called corporate again, a complaint form is being sent to the Brewer store for me to file a formal complaint against the employee who lied and called me a liar (which I will and wont settle for anything less than a public apology where he wronged me). I am waiting on a call from the store manager and the district manager to resolve this. This store violated my rights as a disabled person, management allowed an employee to get away with creating a negative situation and I was made to look like a fool. It could have been resolved with the employee acting like the customer matters and simply getting me a cart, whether he did it himself or called on his radio. You would think a human being standing 10 feet or so with a clear view of that bin would have the initiative to call on his radio when he saw the bin getting low...isnt that his job too? (if it isn't we have identified the issue) It's not my job to go hunting for shopping carts, it's going to be winter in Maine soon and I really dont want to spend another winter walking around doing someone elses job and not get paid for it. I am sixty years old and surely do not want to fall on ice looking for a shopping cart. No excuse for treating any customer like this. I will update this later with the results but right now my opinion of the store in Brewer Maine is the customer does not matter, employees are always right and they dont need our busines. Unfortunately it seems that management is at this time impotent as they just sided with the employee and not the customer (who was 100% right because that bin was empty). Honestly all the talks I had with the manager were very positive and well received, but now I feel like perhaps he was just placating me. BTW 2 stars because I dont hate the store but I hate hunting for shopping carts. Without said issue constantly happening 4 stars

The blue lights in the bathroom made me feel as though I entered a different (wrong) dimension which soon made sense as once I saw the toilet I immediately gasped as there was a mufkin parasite on the seat!

I have never been so traumatized using a Shaws bathroom before. I felt filthy just standing in there and got out as fast as possible.

I had $9.00 left and was told to return on Sunday. She handed me a $30 kohls cash. I went back and went to Sephora so I can spend kohls cash if $9.00 & my new Kohls cash of $30.00 for buying a bunch of clothes. The girl called manager Ben over and he kept insisting I must have changed something or returned clothes and REFUSED my kohls cash of $30. At no time during my encounter didn't manager try to look anything up - just stood there shaking his head saying "You must have returned an item- Where is your receipt for all the clothes you bought the other day" - So now I have to hold a receipt in hand to prove I spent money in Kohls. He argued back with me - no offer of anything -- basically cold and stood his ground as if I was lying and I even said - "why are you treating me in this manner? I'm not lying" Again - totally refused to do anything else and was not professional and condemning "HAVE A NICE DAY" UNPROFESSIONAL JERK- I called & sent in a formal complaint - no phone calls this so far..... no calls .... The Sephora Store worker was sweet and nice but had no clue on products I wanted. She has no idea what the texture spray is from Wow -- and I also wanted a facial cream and she wound up giving me a product was very very expensive without giving me a price.
