TRADEWINDS MARKET — Local services in Milo

Yesterday, late afternoon; before a family barbecue, I stopped at my local Tradewinds located in Milo Maine. What I thought was going to be a simple grocery shopping experience, was the furthest thing from. I had forgotten my ID at home, and usually that’s not particularly a big deal. Especially due to the fact this cashier has sold me alcohol in the past (numerous times), said my scanned ID was okay to use once in the past, and in this particular instance it was my boyfriend purchasing the alcohol and in the past had only asked the person purchasing. I know the laws, and the store should always card everyone. This cashier made it seem like not a big deal previously, and yesterday 4/13/2024 at roughly 5pm the cashier was anything but respectful to me. This cashier said that I needed my physical ID, and that’s fine because it’s law. However, for the cashier to talk to the customer stating “you should know not to roll your eyes at people, you’re disrespectful” I did not say anything out of line other then to my boyfriend in which I said “this is kinda inconvenient because we have to go back to our home to get my ID” (due to our home being an hour and 1/2 in the opposite direction, that situation was very inconvenient.) I did not mind running home to grab it, however, what I had the most problem with was the customer service. To whisper to my boyfriend, discussing private matters, did not justify this cashier’s out of lines comments/ remarks. I felt discriminated, and a male cashier should probably keep opinions about women to themselves (because I experienced a level of sexism via comments made from specific cashier.) I also felt discriminated based off of my attire yesterday. To add insult to injury I’d also like to state that I felt like I was being harassed in a weird way. So, I’d give this Tradewinds a higher rating, but the customer service I experienced yesterday was subpar at best. If there’s a place I can fill out a formal complaint, I...

I usually love to stop at this store and love their deli too but lately the store in Orland has been disappointing as far as the Anchor Deli. My husband and I ordered pizzas from there but tonight we ordered a pizza and we’re completely missing the topping that we ordered and denied cheesy breadsticks when we know they make them because we always get them from other workers, it seems to be dependent on whose working. VERY disappointed with their services and the their deli now and probably won’t be ordering again from them and order from Snowmans or Big Apple instead because at least we get what we ordered and cheesy bread too. As far as the breadsticks are concerned that is a biggie because it’s basically a cheese pizza with no sauce, I guess I don’t quite...

It's just sad to shop here. The crew are sad. The veggies look sad(old and tired). No one is happy in here. No one smiles. The customers just seem to lumber about probably because of the sad employees. The cashiers barely speak. They do blurt out the required: "did you find everything you needed". I usually don't find everything I needed but the staff is very busy being sad about something. Is the pay bad? Is it the town? their life? Even the Dunkin workers are sad. "can I have that without sugar"? They just stared at each other "wut"? I dread going in here but it's the only option on my way to camp. I'm buying coolers so I can shop at another store and just keep it cold and avoid the Tradewinds-Milo. Maybe they...
