Piggly Wiggly — Local services in Macon

Great place to go for a quick trip for a few items. The manager MR SUMNER is what customer service is all about. He's friendly and helpful. I remember him from about 35 years ago at the location on Shurling Drive, the store was known as Food Max then. I worked in the shopping center and it was great to to have everything right there. I would become a permanent customer if the prices would decrease to a level that matches the neighborhood. We live in an area that is known as the poverty level of Macon and most of us who shop here are senior citizens on disability / food stamps etc. However, Mr Sumner is the reason we visit the store. The deli employees are great except for the older lady who acts like she is the owner. The other employees are wonderful and kind with a pleasant attitude. I witnessed the older lady giving orders to one of the people there as if she were a warden in a prison. We ordered a lunch plate and as I spoke to her, she nearly threw our plates at us while telling me she would walk out if things didn't go HER way there and that she run a tight ship with "those people"......I was shocked at the way she described the other employees. I have worked in retail all my life and this was an unacceptable way to treat others. This happened about a year ago or so and I didn't speak about it until now, I am sorry I didn't. In my defense I simply don't complain about things in businessesas I know everyone needs a job and sometimes a poor comment will result in a termination of someone.

I went to piggly wiggly this morning, to get stuff for breakfast and a few items I thought of, enjoying my Friday morning, I got to the checkout line, it was kinda long. I was having to wait while a manager was having to process those papers for food for a customer, bag and you could tell she was working hard even though one of her hands was bandaged, meanwhile as our line was growing you could see a cashier standing by produce just watching the crowd build, that happened to be the same woman I saw in the meat dept. behind the glass looking at someones phone, maybe she was on break, but I wasn't, I have a schedule, so instead of standing there any longer, after I watched that poor manager have to ask the lazy cashier for help, I left instead of waiting for your cashiers convenience to take care of customers. One line is not really adequate on Friday morning. But then seeing a cashier standing there while I am getting nowhere, has decided for me that this customer of 40 years, will now shop at Kroger, and will be recommending that NO ONE ELSE WASTE THEIR...

Nice clean little store. Wish they would've kept the Eisenhower pkwy. Location open #840 #476. We had some amazing times there are employees. Great benefits and vacation time. Great health , vision and dental plan. We slang groceries on the stock team like it was nothing. We all had ups and downs. The company at that time was not good with promotion of its long time workers. We were bought out several times them sold again. We went from 7 + stores in Macon to one now. Wal-Mart killed a lot of dreams. We were like family..shout out to all the legends Lorne, casey,lisa J, Linda H. , Stacey F. Gail B. Charles T., Howard, Tim H, Katrina,Tim R.,Cathy, Virginia, Somonia D. Elaine B. I can't remember all but we all keep each other uplifted in prayer. Good ole days. 1995 my...
