Save A Lot — Attraction in Daytona Beach

This store needs to be renamed 'Save-Not'. The store has been 're-arranged' since they last time I was here (over a year ago), I just went to get some of my regular items that I always save money on at this store and couldn't find them, walk around the store 3 times Coast Guard search style and came up with nothing other than information that even staple items like sugar are priced higher than the surrounding competition. I guess they are pricing at 'Market Rate' which seems to be so prevalent these days in Daytona Beach. Left with 2 items and saved nothing. Shopping carts now need a quarter to use (Aldi style) and you still need to bring your own bags (I was prepared for that). On a positive note I wasn't hit up by someone that "Just got out of jail" trying to 'flip' their EBT benefits as I entered the store, that has happened to me the last 3 times I went to this store. Also no one was smoking crack and drinking beer at the bus stop while I waited but it was still daylight out so YMMV. I did see a transient go by with a 'Jacked" Aldi cart, hope the Save-Not setup is one link shorter than Aldi's or their carts will be disappearing too.

The Save-A-Lot on Nova and LPGA needs a lot of work and I'm not sure but it sure looks like price gouging cuz Save-A-Lot is as expensive as the Winn-Dixie in the next lot over and there selection is constantly moved around or out of stock you would think after something is always out of stock they would someone what actually order more instead of the same amount and always running out I don't understand and if it's on sale don't even bother going to the one at LPGA and Nova don't bother they won't have it they didn't have it to begin with turbo store whoever terrible store whoever orders for that store should be fired or retrained here's an idea Skippy if you keep running out double the order until you have a one or two left over lesson 101 never run out of product for the customer not never have the product for the customer such as the one on Nova and LPGA follows I don't understand getting to be a waste of time to go in there first day eliminate bags and now they're eliminating shopping carts unless you put a quarter in and I always forget a quarter pretty soon I'll have to bring my own carton for the milk and milk the cow myself and then they'll charge me double like Winn-Dixie they oughta be called save a Winn-Dixie they should merge they're the same price-wise on...

My rating is low because being a customer over time I have seen numerous occasions of a particular manager having someone escorted out or calling the police bcuz the person looks suspicious to her. Diane is a part of management and will refuse to do her job because she states she's busy but has time to call the police to talk to them. On this particular day 4/18/2003 there was a valid return with items on the receipt and walked in with and Diane accused the items of being stolen. She was asked to give the footage of the store a look and she tried to take the items that were paid for. When asked she didn't want to provide a superiors name. It's bad enough the store is short staffed but if I were management I would rather have short pleasant staff then rude ones. It would have customers return and not mind the wait so much because of the service. Staff like her shouldn't be responsible for handling store matters if the time spent to do the job properly isn't going to be offered. Sad that it's come to having rude staff just to say...
