Piggly Wiggly

"Buyer Beware! If you shop at this location make sure you check your receipt! Over 4 years they have consistently attempted to overcharge me for items they have on sale. They do NOT enter the sale prices into their system, so when you check out, your are charged the regular price. I attempted to buy a whole seedless watermelon on sale for $3.99 through the self-checkout. I was charged $5.99lb for a total of over $63.00! I asked for assistance and he deleted the charge and then reentered the item and the price came up at $5.99. I told him it was on sale for $3.99 and was told the price was "$5.99 all week". We checked the flyer and the watermelon was right on the upper section of the front page for $3.99, just as I told him. He and another woman there attempted to claim the problem occurred because I didn't use a rewards card. That is irrelevant. A rewards card is NOT required! The cherries I purchased for $1.99lb rang up at the correct price. This was 100% an error on their part and something that has happened to me repeatedly for over 4 years. Each time it has occurred they immediately refute what I have to say, and when they learn that I was telling the truth, they never apologize for making the false accusation I was not. Pathetic!!! I rarely shop there anymore because of this. It's difficult for me to believe they are not aware of this problem as it appears to be the standard practice here. Their customers should check their current and past receipts to see if they have also been overcharged. Don't trust them to charge you the sale price."

"The store personnel are very nice and helpful. But the cashiers, clerks have extremely bad hygiene! Honestly, they stink! One of them has all rotten teeth in his mouth and bad breath. Please have them brush, gargle and wash their hair and take a shower or wash off before they come to work! It’s offensive for others to smell your body odor. Also, the store could stand to be mopped, it doesn’t smell fresh at all. I don’t like patronizing the store for those reasons. Otherwise we’ve always shopped at the Pig, now not so much."

"I only bought two things. I realized that one of the irems rung up $1 more than it was labeled. Unfortunately it was after I had processed the payment. I was then told I'd have to wait a half hour for the customer service person to return because he was working the regular checkout line. This was my first experience with Piggly Wiggly since they closed the store in Waukegan. SMH... really dissapointing. Can't say I'll be back. TBH I'd rather drive as far as Woodman's than have to deal with substandard (nonexistent) customer service. Shame... even Walmart has outperformed you this time!"
