Save A Lot — Local services in Middletown

This place needs to be held accountable for the way they treat their employees. It's no secret that working at a place called "save a lot" pays barely more than minimum wage, but the owner of this store, Thad, is just a complete and utter actual jerk. Upon being given a two weeks notice, all of which was worked to scheduled completion, attempted to completely withhold that last paycheck from a past employee of well over a year. Let me reiterate that this was FULLY WORKED, and he was still disrespectful even though the former employee was unnecessarily polite when they had to come into the store a week after their two weeks ended to actually try to get their paycheck. Not to mention this is literally illegal, but incredibly rude and shady. Upon telling my friend they would get their overdue check in a week (his words were "I usually wouldn't pay you but I don't feel like fighting today"), they were told they were on the 'do not hire' list now (i'm sure my friend will really miss that $10 an hour) despite being disrespected for the past year, scheduled when they clearly told the company they were unavailable and way more than I can explain here, including being stalked by another employee that took the company way too long...

Went there this past Friday overall my shopping experience was perfect . Till I laid for my cart full of items and overheard a cashiers conversation with a customer . Apparently the customer had bought items , went to get a box to come back and find her items stolen. When she went thru the store and came up to the register to pay for her items once more . The cashier asked her what happened , so the lady explains . That's when this young blonde child made a comment that honestly infuriated me . She said to the customer that one of the people who had a full cart , prob stole her items . Well I was one of the people she was attempting to accuse out of the other four . When I told the manager all she could say was she was young . To me this girl should of been written up for blatelently making false accusations against customers . Just because someone has a full chart. Why would anyone need to steal a few items if they have a full chart . As a cash paying customer. Who works to put food on the table this pist me off . What happened to respecting customers . By the way the people you are accusing help pay you for your job little girl. I will be filing a...

Store itself it's ok. Cheap prices and most food is ok. Some complaints is their Cottage cheese is gritty, and I got frozen Manicotti. that was obviously spoiled once. However, The main complaint is on most of the employees and rules. I'm disabled and this is the closest store to walk to since I'm limited transportation. Most of the employees seems to judge you on what you buy. I the other day overheard an employer openly ridiculing & laughing at me on my way out. I'm nothing but nice to these people and feel I don't deserve this treatment. Heck, I had even collected carts at times for them. So, I'm beyond nice and treated as a joke. As for the rules 'I see why' but find it sexist how woman can carry purses no matter how big and bulky but there's a no backpack rule, and at times a have a small bag on wheels to help heavier items I was told I had to leave it in front of the store while in the store. I have no problem over this until someone took some other personal belongings and I overheard the employees flat out say "we're not babysitting peoples things" PLUS, How can you have a no backpack rule BUT sell backpacks during the...
