Brackett's Market IGA — Local services in Bath

I worked at Brackett’s Market for a few months and my experience wasn’t quite how I thought it would be. To keep it short, an employee had made two other employees uncomfortable, I brought it to Macey’s attention and because there was “no proof” of it happening with the first employee they did nothing about it except cut my hours completely from the 30’s to 10 hours. The kid got off scotch free, also BEST FRIENDS with the supervisor so he is protected at all costs. They talked shit about me behind my back, which I let it go, until I came into work one day and was pulled aside by someone in the meat dept that had overheard Macey openly discussing with someone else personal information about myself. When they approached me about it, it was fine. They’re a good person, but when I brought it to Maceys attention she had nothing to say. Funny. After I had left Brackett’s, it was brought to my attention that a few people supervisors included were continuing to talk shit about me and the things going on in my life.

They have a new produce section, that's great. (It was the only thing previously lacking.) The selection throughout the store is very well thought out. They even have beer and wine!

And I can't say enough about the staff. They're absolutely wonderful. Friendly and helpful - You're always welcomed with a smile. I always look forward to going there. (I know. That's an odd thing to say about a grocery store, but it's a special place, and I always leave there, a little happier than before, from...

I've never been treated so poorly at a grocery store. I recently relocated to Maine and had been issued a temporary paper driver's license and they refused to sell me a six pack of beer. I had my out of state license (stamped void by the Maine DMV) and other forms of identification, but it didn't seem to matter to Brackett's. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't already been charged for the beer before they decided to march me over to the customer service counter to be stripped of the beer and refunded cash. Despite their high prices, I went to support a local business. Now I know better, I'll go to the large chain grocery stores and not be treated like a second...
