Piggly Wiggly is certainly one of two cheap grocery stores in town, and considering the food4less being way out on North Monroe I would have to add Piggly Wiggly as the cheapest accessible grocery store in town to those of us who live closer to downtown or on the southside. Although spending less money for food these days is always a good thing I find myself choosing Winn-Dixie or Publix more than I choose Piggly Wiggly. Not only because Winn Dixie and Publix are close to me, but for the sure fact that Piggly Wiggly does not have good customer service. Sometimes it is downright aweful. Getting a greeting or a thank you is very rare. Cashing checks, sending/receiving money, and access to the lottery is not available. I wouldn't encourage showing up 15 before they close because you're going to feel hounded with announcements, watchful eyes, snickers, and a sure way to recognize the thug in some of the younger men that work there. I personally don't like that type of work ethic, or lack of it, around me because it sours my day.

So one understand my frustration when this "ignaramous" told my "to take her bags back to the car!" What? Do you screen who you hire; better yet where does Barkley security do their hiring for armed officers, "Day Labor? Why in the world would my daughter bring her bags in Piggly Wiggly if we were in a car at that particular moment? The irony of it all is that you thought it was funny that you refused to watch our groceries, but was doing absolutely nothing but laughing on the cellphone when I found " my child" standing near the exit frustrated and waiting on me. The behavior you exhibited was disgusting,and are a disgrace to the definition of what a...
Read moreWe should all support black owned businesses. They are few and far in-between when it comes to Grocery stores owned by Brothers and Sisters of our community. This store should be on the brink of expansion & renovation due to the high volume of patronization from the Black dollar as well as every other citizen of this area. This is Just my personal opinion, but in reality it is the truth. Salute to the staff that operates Piggly Wiggly. I will always...
