Extremely Disappointed & Will Not Return
Just visited today, and I will never go back. As a Black woman, I felt blatantly profiled and followed around the store for no reason other than how I look. At first, I tried to brush it off—it’s 2025, maybe it was just in my head. But after my husband joined me to shop, the same thing happened again. That confirmed it for me: we were being watched like suspects simply for existing while Black.
It’s deeply upsetting when one minority group discriminates against another. I came in hoping to support a local business, explore new snacks, and spend money—but I refuse to spend my Black dollars where I’m treated with suspicion instead of respect.
Racial profiling is unacceptable and can destroy a business’s reputation. You can’t assume someone is a thief based on their appearance. I’ll be filing a report with the Better Business Bureau.

Since I am handicapped and I can not drive I can not just get my husband to "go" immediately" He keeps telling me how great my pork chops were. The only thing I did differently was add in that package. I just LOVE Jasons they even have FRESH fish brought in daily and they clean it for you for free. I am from Hawai'i and they have everything we have from there- my Japanese Plums I especially LOVE. Plus I always buy new things to try out. Love Light and...
Read moreGreat place but double, triple check your receipts because on several occasions they have rung up more than what had and we're tired of having to go back and complain about the extra $1.50 - $3 they're charging. This has happened to us multiple times as well as relatives of ours who were charged almost double for what they purchased.
We have a feeling they're doing this on purpose and playing it off as, "ooops!" and since this has happened way too many times for this to be an accident, we're 1 more time away from filing an official complaint with the BBB, City of W. Melbourne, Brevard County, the State of Florida, or who ever you have to file with because this is starting to look more and more like...
