Bad customer service I was shopping at Giant Eagle in Akron on Waterloo Rd and went to pay for my items at a self checkout lane. Immediately a woman who works there came over and started bagging my items while I was scanning them. An item had part of the label ripped off of it which had the bar code on it. The woman took the product and did not apologize for the inconvenience scanned a similar item and told me the item that had damaged packaging.was going home with me. She acted as though I was trying to do something bad. I have been shopping there for 20 years and I was treated very rudely to a point that I may go somewhere else to do my shopping. I was very upset. I realize shop lifting is rampant but I am an honest person and have been shopping there a long time. I also work for a pharmacy in the area for 5 years. I will write and call to everyone I can to let them know how horribly I was treated.

Institutional disrespect If I could give Giant Eagle a 0 today I would. I’ve been a customer for at least 15 years, and I’ve held a fuel direct pay account for about 8 years. Unfortunately, fraudsters tried to empty my linked bank account and I had my bank freeze the account. The next day I attempted to link my fuel card to the new bank account. It took GE a couple days to send the test deposit. Once they did, I tried to reinstate the GE card. After an hour on the phone it was finally handled (phew… terrible system. There’s an advantage pay and a full perks and the old system wasn’t quite linked to the new system, so it’s a problem if you need to update your info. Thanks GE for rewarding my loyalty with a nice time-eating smack down). In the meantime, however, I’ve been harassed by bill collections for a gas purchase made 5 days before I froze the account. Yup you got it- they took 5 days to process the charges, but turned me in to collections the very next day! The VERY NEXT DAY! Not only that, but they added a nice $30 surcharge (for my trouble?). I explained the situation and was told I needed proof from my bank on bank letterhead. Ok- no problem. My bank rep was kind enough to whip that out immediately. Shouldn’t you show your loyal customers who have spent thousands supporting your business over years just a small amount of respect for their time by having a system that is easy to navigate? The credit card companies regularly waive a $30 fee for loyal customers who pay bills on time but have a 1-time circumstance. Honestly it took me less time to open all new accounts with my financial institution. Deplorable, GE. Catch up with the times.

Untruthful ads In Giant Eagle (I prefer to call it Giant Vulture), you get these ads saying, for example 'Buy 4 for $5 - before was $1.79 each'. What they do NOT tell you is that now, if you buy one, it's down to $1.25! So they make you think you must buy 4, but no, only one is enough. So they trick you into thinking you must buy a lot to get a discount, but that's not true

Feeding the opioid epidemic How dare you feed the opioid epidemic....and settling out of court,paying an undisclosed amount of money, all because you know you were GUILTY of abusing your right to fill prescriptions for opioids. Shame on your company....I will never shop there again, your stores always were less than desirable.

Issue is with digital wallet Issue is with digital wallet. I have several hundreds of dollars in my E-card wallet and cannot access any of my E-cards. Have not been able to access any of my E-cards for over a week. Called customer service which was unable to address my concerns and had no idea when problem would be resolved. Sent email voicing my concerns with no response. Very dissatisfied with Giant Eagle main office customer service.
