[RP TownTalk] Town Center Market

[Sue Collins]

Guess Town Center can't have everything at once; did you ask if they were going to get it in? From everything I've been hearing and reading, they do their best to supply the items customers ask for.   
 
I've been to Super A a few times, but I mainly go to LaGrande in Riverdale Plaza for most of my produce, also some meat, veggies, and seafood.  The prices are very fair and the people who work there are friendly.  I usually hit Shoppers in New Carrollton once and a while because I can get a better deal there on cleaning supplies, canned goods, etc. (I've found their employees to be very helpful and friendly, too)  I agree with you, we're lucky to have so many shopping options in and around town!

This weekend I wanted brown sugar. (I like to bake on weekends.) Town Center Market didn't have that either. So I ran over to the Super A Market in the Alamo Shopping Center. I was home in 10 minutes, I got to listen to mariachi music which makes me happy, the checkout lady was super nice, and the prices were incredible. I'm sad to hear that Giant is being annoying. It's a good thing we have lots of options in this area! -Sarah

Sue did not want to talk about service at Giant, but I have decided I have had enough with them.  In March they ran a coupon in their flyer, like they do every year before Easter and Passover.  Every other year, since the store opened across from PG Plaza, the local store has made good on their coupon for a free product that our store does not normally carry.  This year the new manager not only refused to honor the coupon, he was very rude about it.  I have been phoning the customer service number and talking to different representatives since it happened.  To this date the district manager has not managed to contact me.  Last week I mentioned to the customer representative that I had not told my friends, relatives, neighbors, or the community lists about this ongoing issue, but that I was fed up with Giant.  I had asked for the merchandise and an apology.  Well, it is now June.  Formerly, I shopped at that Giant sometimes four or five times a
 week.  Except in dire emergencies, I have refused to go back. I will support local businesses over the international corporate bullies who refuse to honor their own marketing and whose managers have no concept of customer service.  What makes me sad for Giant are the number of neighbors among other employees who we have dealt with for years and who have always provided very good service.  The new Town Center Market is lovely and the service is wonderful.  We are happy to shop in downtown Riverdale Park.   -- Sarah Waylandsarah.wayland at gmail.com_______________________________________________TownTalk mailing listTo post to the list, send mail to TownTalk at riverdale-park.orgTownTalk-request@riverdale-park.org is for automated subscription processing onlyhttp://riverdale-park.org/mailman/listinfo/towntalkFor more information about Riverdale Park, visit http://www.riverdaleparkmd.info
