Marketplace Foods — Local services in Clintonville

They are selling rotten food. We bought deli ham that was completely rotten. As soon as I got it home I could smell it. I made the mistake of opening the bag and almost lost my lunch over the smell. We immediately took it back to the store with receipt in hand only to be told they don't do returns on deli. My husband made them open it and smell what they just sold us less than 15 minutes ago and told them they needed to check their deli meats. I also don't know how the deli clerk didn't smell the rotten meat she was selling us. I am absolutely certain she did smell it but just didn't care. After smelling the meat and almost losing his lunch the manager did the right thing and gave us our money back. Their deli sucks. We later found out our chicken we also bought from their deli was also rotten. They cooked rotten chicken and had not problem selling it to unsuspecting customers. Not only is that dangerous but it could very well be deadly for people who are immune compromised or elderly. We are never shopping...

Extremely helpful guy in the aisles but when we got to the register it was a bit strange. Sandy the cashier almost had a heart attack in front of us at the sight of black women buying groceries from their small town store. When we asked about a coupon book or if they had sales, she yelled at us "Well how long are you guys going to be here?!" As if that would've made the answer any different. She tried to justify it and say if we would be there long they had something. Lol Whatever. We could visibly see her shaking and turning red and all we were doing is buying groceries.

Clinton the bagger was super fun and cracked a lot of jokes with us but I could feel his uneasiness as well. Maybe it was when I started looking for my sister and he replied "she's not hard to miss" referencing her skin color compared to the rest of the people in the store. Smh We did get our groceries with no problems and LOVEEEEED the corn we purchased for the grill! So I can laugh about it now but the sentiment in this town...

I entered the store this evening thru the door by the produce section ..as I entered I could hear a woman yelling from the service desk at two younger check out people at least six isles away....her tone was insulting and rude and what she said was completely inappropriate...upon leaving the store I asked her why she would yell across the store instead of privately talking to the employees....at first she denied it...than she was rude and snotty to me a customer...this place is costly the selection is not as good as festival or charlies....but if they have managers like Rebecca....I will not be back! She owes those employees and me an apology. My guess is they won't keep employees the way she belittles and talks down to them. Shame on you Rebecca....I quit as a customer because of you...and had you talked to me like that as an employee i would have told you to shove your minimum wage job. There is no job worth putting up with people like Rebecca! She is NOT...
