I had gotten cash back the other day and my fault but i didnt count it. Once i got to my next stop to use the cash, i found out i was given $20 less than i had asked for. Only then did I find out that there is no way to contact the store(no phone) other than going there. I did that the following day, the manager was very polite, but let me know that each checkout person has there own drawer and the one who had taken care of me wasnt on for a few days, once she came on again they would check her drawer and notify me either way. I was never notified so I made another extra trip to the store and left another manager the information again. Now 4 days had passed since the mishap. Four days that all partys knew of my concern. I got a call after that, the manager stated the drawer counted perfect. Nothing more they could do. I do not believe anything originally was done planed, but four days without checking on this, much can happen. I felt you should know and perhaps have a different way to handle these mishaps in the future. Thanks Joe Burns Hi ive been a customer for a while, most often all is good.

The company has been making inroads the last few years opening new stores even with the economy in the tank. In the Philadelphia area, there were 2 new stores that opened recently. The quarter for a shopping cart is not a new concept to me. There used to be a chain of stores in the northeast called Pathmark, and they used the same concept, quarter for the cart, or you could buy a reusable token for 25 cents from the customer service desk, to reuse over and over again. The store brands may not be what people are used to seeing, but again some taste testing will show you if you like the brands or not. And if you don't you can get your money back, no questions asked.
