Plaid Pantry

"My 1 star rating is due to ownership, because the employees I’ve met and the manager Chris have been friendly and hard working. I’ve been dogsitting just a few houses down for the past 2.5 years and the trash around this Plaid Pantry is beyond disgusting. On our walks, I bring a plastic grocery bag to try to do my part as part of the Portland community. It should not be the employees responsibility to attempt to keep the homeless out of the dumpsters, and it’s nearly an every day task. The trash gets dumped out constantly, and then it gravitates onto the sidewalks, streets, and surrounding areas. It’s a health hazard and a safety issue. The fencing around the two large dumpsters needs to be secured, such that no one can climb over or through it. I’ll write a new review if this problem is ever successfully resolved."

"I have yet again attempted to go to this location with a “closed for cleaning” sign on the door. I have gone over 5 times in the last year with this sign being present, not once have I been inside because it’s always closed. Save yourself the trouble and go to one of the nearby 7 eleven’s that is actually open."

"it’s always “closed for cleaning” but irl the guy is just watching anime on his phone. closes at any time, sometimes noon, sometimes three, sometimes seven, literally any time the guy decides. garbage. honestly an embarrassment for plaid, and the standards were already exceptionally low."

"As a woman, I no longer shop at any Plaid Pantries due to the fact that they require their male employees to hold my ID (vital info), while I go to unlock the beer cooler with the key. Not only that, then they scan my ID which feels super invasive depending on the creepy clerk. I’m over 40. It’s a stupid policy. Got to an AMPM or 7-Eleven"

"Went in the other morning and put the chip to my debit card in and it was declined three times. It then gave me the option to swipe but before I could do that the manager put the things I was purchasing aside and told me "If you swipe it three times and it doesn't work then you can't swipe, it's our policy". I told him I was in there days before and the same thing happened, the employee let me swipe my card and it was fine. He told me that employee shouldn't have done that and had an unnecessary attitude about it. The store owner then came over and told the manager to let me swipe it and that he was given misinformation about the card reader. Really??? The manager didn't know something that basic?? Kind of unprofessional guys."
