Piggly Wiggly — Local services in Manchester

My daughter and I were at the store this past Friday evening and although I have NEVER had an issue with my cashier, she was extremely annoyed with me because I wasn’t putting on the belt fast enough for her. She even asked me if she could do it for me and I said, NO, different transactions same cart. The problem was that as soon as the night manager walked outside, this lady turned her face around and all of a sudden was mean and demanding that we put everything on the belt for her to scane . I was fine and cordial but she was apparently training someone else and acting disrespectfully to me as a customer who wasn’t doing things fast enough, in fact that was what she kept telling the other young lady next to her. “I just want to get this done fast “, . Fast is fine but, I got out to the car and my daughter’s soup cans were directly on my two loaves of bread. Between the two of us we spent over 300$ and I really don’t think it should matter how long it takes me to get my groceries out of a shared cart. The trainee behind her was sweet and was sincere when she asked us to have a good night. I got to the parking lot and it was all I could do not to say anything to the night manager who was catching a bit of night air. Nothing wrong with that or her for doing it. I just didn’t want to bother her with drama before getting ready to go home. I don’t need to feel like I have to hurry when there’s two transactions to be done. I was almost in tears, but still said Thank you, have a good night! She shouldn’t make people feel old or stupid, she even asked the young lady next to her bagging my groceries what the code was for cabbage and I I said 4069, the young lady looked it up and said 4069, I looked at my daughter and said “I still got it “, and she said I wasn’t asking you,, I was asking her, I’m sorry 🤷‍♀️ I’ve been living here for 5 years now and I’ve never had an issue until that night. There was no reason to rush me, nobody else was behind us until it was my daughters turn and she said to her PUT YOUR STUFF UP HERE BECAUSE I WANT TO GET THIS DONE QUICK! The other young lady was very sweet and wished us a good evening with a smile on her face, while the other told the young couple behind us with a newborn, I’ll get you over there. Checked them out and went back to sweeping the floor. I will never go to her checkout again or not shop...

Piggly Wiggly, Manchester Georgia is the most expensive store I've ever shopped. I have lived in numerous states and visited 49 of them and am in the resale business 43 years now which I feel deems me qualified to pass judgment on an extremely overpriced store. Grits....5.99 unless on sale. The cheapest, smallest jar of off brand mayonnaise..... 4.00 and for a larger jar..... between 7.00 and 9.00. I went to the deli for lunch to go and got 2 meals consisting of 1 meat and 2 vegetables each. Not large servings by any means. Nearly 29.00. Went back a few weeks later thinking that I would just get some mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese and 1 tiny piece of cornbread......nearly 13.00. (The same meal at Ingles....6.00) went to purchase groceries at 11:45 a.m. and had a cart with nearly 160.00 worth of groceries. Proceded to the register only to find no cashier working and was told by manager I had to use self checkout. I am disabled now and have a very bad heart that limits my abilities. It was all I coukd do just to walk through the store to make my purchases as there was no electric cart available for use, as usual. The space to bag your cart of groceries is approximately 18"×18". If you remove a bag to put in your cart so you can continue bagging an alarm sounds. Not only are they the only grocer to choose from with the same customer service mentality in this town, they are extremely insensitiveto the needs of handicapped people that are unable to manage some tasks. I know that prices are on the rise as national issues take place but this is absolutely ridiculous. Go in....take your phone....video your shopping experience along with price checking and youll see for yourself. There will be friends and or employees to counter this review but all I can say is go in and see for yourself. Youll see what Im...

The only grocery store in our area. Too high priced for a small country town. We want deals, and NOT the meat 5 for $21.!

Some folks can't travel to other stores because their 40 minutes to an hour away, like Walmart. I travel to Columbus or LaGrange for groceries and for my meats Hometown market in LaGrange.

As a small town, with citizens w limited money, like our elderly, this place is NOT WORTH IT!!!

Plus, there's one cashier that's really nasty. Not pleasant at all!!! Never speaks to customers, I could be ugly and tell the truth about how she really acts towards CERTAIN customers, but I'll save her the embarrassment.

Please for God's sake improve this store in all ways!!!! Make it more affordable and it's not just this recession, it's all the time!!! A jar of mayo is...
