WinCo Foods

"I go shopping here quite often at the Longview winco and never have I shoplifted here or anywhere for that matter and up until tonight, I haven’t had much of a bad experience or at least not enough to cry about but tonight three women staff members stood at the register of the self checkout line staring at me and my fiancé as we scanned each item and paid and offered no help or even greeted us in any way. They were talking somewhat quietly while watching us closely to where we were so uncomfortable and we didn’t even do anything wrong or have ever and in fact, are always very polite to the workers and everyone we come across and apologize for changing our minds on an item which we did tonight and one of the workers came over and was at least kind in her voice when she asked if we were weren’t getting the certain items while my fiancé was handing them over and one of the times was a bulk bag of cereal and another grabbed it and threw it very loudly into the garbage right in front of us looking and seeming very annoyed and not one of those 3 workers said have a good night or anything as we left. I understand that there are people who shoplift and you never know by their appearances but to make it so obvious that you’re watching us and judging us based on I don’t even know what cause we don’t steal and so don’t act like someone stealing and dress appropriately and have been nothing but so kind and polite to all the workers so I take it personally when I’m minding my own business trying to shop for my groceries and nothing else and I get treated with such disrespect! I will always hold my head up high knowing I didn’t do anything wrong and kept myself from calling those workers out in front of everyone and hopefully they can admit to themselves one day that they did wrong and work on their customer service skills cause they just ruined the night of two really nice people who never are cruel to anyone."

"Sadly, due to an employee, I will no longer shop here or step foot in the building. A store lead by the name of Stan approached me and my daughter, he was extremely rude. I have never been talked to like that, ever......people were onlooking. He was so loud and it quickly became a scene. I immediately asked for a manager. He said, "I am the manager". Lets be fair, his nametag said shift lead. I wanted to go up the chain of command. Stan was rude and embarassing me. He refused to give me a manager, he refused to tell me his last name. He said his name is Stan, Shift Lead. I told him that I needed to see a store manager....I also let Stan know that he was only the shift lead and he was not the highest manager in the store. Stan then radio'd for someone to call the police because I was refusing to leave. I was refusing to leave? Absolutely not. I said out loud (for the camera) I have not verbally refused to leave the store, I am asking for a manager. I am being refused management. Shift Lead Stan was verbally being rude, being confrontational, puffing his chest out at me, infront of my kid, she was scared. Stan walked my daughter and I out of the store. Why the behavior you may ask? I had my little bay pineapple conure with me (smallest parrot on the planet, she is about 6 inches big), she calmly and quietly sits at my shoulder and the top of her head is lower then my ear. Shes half the size of a cockatiel. Stan was attacking me for "not viewing the pet policy on the door". Side note.....Stan was completely ignoring the barking dog in the back of the strore. Stan held his arms out and backed me and my daughter out of the store. I was completely embarassed. If that wasnt bad enough people were approaching me outside saying he was out of line and they were embarassed for me. I put my child and bird in the car and went inside and spoke to the (real) manager. He was super nice and stated the employee Stan told a different story. I urged management to watch the cameras. Stan had his hands and arms wide out and was hurding myself and child out, like cattle, making a huge embarassing scene the entire way through the store. It seems as though this man has been promoted past his ability to lead. I came into Winco for one bag of potatoes. I always take my little baby bird with me EVERYWHERE. Winco has posters, flyers, signs everywhere. Does anyone stop and read every sign posted before they enter? This is the first time in one year I was attacked or made aware the policy..., I didnt know. I see dogs in Winco all the time. I never thought twice about it. It wasnt the policy that is the issue. It was the fact Stan was in my face, close enough I could smell his breath.. It was the fact my kiddo was with me and he lied saying I was refusing to leave and asked for the police to be called. I hope to GOD management watches those cameras. I have never been treated so poorly. Because of STAN the Shift lead I will never return here, principal. I actually feel sorry for the bloke, life must be really pathetic at home for him to attack a mother and her child.... asking for back up and radio'ing to call the police when I asked for a store manager. I was being treated poorly and all I did was stand up for myself on how we are being treated. Some men wont respect women. He was not the manager of the store. Stan is a Shift Lead. Stan is a bad guy and was on a power trip to radio police when I Was asking for management. Again, it wasnt the policy that is the issue, it was how he approached us and spoke to us. Never in my life has something like this happened. I was not going to deal with that. I am so dissapointed and disgusted."

"I like this WinCo location .They have a water station for the 5 gallon jugs inside. Great prices good customer service. And the best part is you bag your own groceries."

"The staff is always super nice and they're pretty good and keeping things well stocked. However, I can't stop here anymore because I can't deal with the constant stream of pets they allow in. Not service animals, they're clearly pets and half the time they aren't even leashed or in the cart (not that that would be a whole lot better.)"
