  I HAVE SUBMITTED VIA THE "CONTACT US" LINK ON THE BROOKSHIRE'S GROCERY CORPORATE WEB PAGE AND REQUESTED THAT MY HOME ADDRESS BE REMOVED FROM ALL MARKETING MATERIAL INCLUDING SALES ADS. I WAS TOLD BY A REP, THAT THEY DO NOT CONTROL THE MARKETING MATERIAL BEING MAILED. I ASKED WHO I COULD CONTACT TO HAVE MY ADDRESS REMOVED AND NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE BACK. WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THAT!! I AM STILL RECEIVING MARKETING MATERIAL VIA US MAIL.

  I live 10 miles from the ********************* Brookshire Brothers Store. Because it's the closest and only store in town & close to neighboring towns, we pay the extra-high prices of your products. This isn't a complaint of gouging the customers that keep this location thriving but, the fact they CONSISTENTLY sell BAD, expired, rotten and moldy foods. From breads, countless produce items, and more. Life is short, I don't have time to complain or want to put negativity into an already spiritually corrupt world but now it has come to complete disregard to human life. It's not just a one-time fluke incident that can understandably happen. This does happen, REGULARLY. Others are also complaining on social media. And when I saw DAIRY products (many, a variety) of dairy products expired in MAY , being sold in SEPTEMBER??? Just jaw dropping. They were marked down but I wouldn't give that to a stray animal. It's not even limited to one department, ************, it's dairy; it's bread; won't even try the meat. How is this even legal? We pay more in costs, and even if we didn't, we need to pay more health insurance for the risk purchasing groceries here. I do not recall in my 50 years and in my travels, EVER experiencing such a high disregard to consumer safety and safe product storage & handling. This is a serious health concern. A restaurant would have had it's doors locked and closed for business. I don't know how much money I have spent, it's been a LOT. This isn't about the money. I look forward to your response and plan of action.Thank you for remedying the dangerous situation.

  Tonight just moments ago I raced from my home to Brookeshires on *********** in ********** ********* to get a cake that someone forgot for a birthday party. Brookeshires hours as posted on the front door, say they close at 10 PM. I arrived at Brookeshires at 9:45 PM. And I was unable to go inside because the store was closed, locked up and an employee, standing outside near me did not even acknowledge my existence. I chose to go to that particular Brookeshires because they have a better bakery. However, I shouldve chose the other one that is equal distance, the one on Highland Avenue in **********, because they actually stay open until 10 oclock. It wouldve taken me less than five minutes to grab a cake and get out of the store , which gave me plenty of time arriving at 9:45. I would have been able to get out of the store and the store still should have been opened for another 10 minutes. I am now driving across town to Kroger grocery store to get a cake from them, which is absolutely ridiculous. If a store closes at 10 PM , that means they close at 10 PM not we lock our doors at 9:30 so if you dont make it by then you cant come in. That would be in the store closes at 9:30. There is a reason people rushed to the grocery store to get there in time for things like childrens birthday cakes and things people sometimes forget it. It is very important that we know the hours of operation at the stores. It is ridiculous if they close early, its not the first time this is happened at this particular location and I am livid. And the fact they do this on a regular basis is very aggravating. I almost went to the other but thought, no, certainly they wont close 15 minutes early,.they sure did and I bet all employees are getting paid for those extra minutes too. As a business owner myself, I would be very upset. That is stealing from your company.

  As I driving home this afternoon March 13th 2023 at 3:15 pm. The driver of R64 **** (***** plate) cut me off and subsequently forced me on the curb if the road. By him switching lanes at the last minute without checking his mirrors I almost ran into him. This drivers driving endangered myself and my young child. I usually wouldnt write something like this but seeing that driver eating and not paying attention to the road triggered me. He is driving a bigger vehicle that myself and there should be more care when operating such.

  We have had 3 (three) bags of Brookshires Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips in the past. When we noticed this last bag was bad, I called Brookshires. They offered no refund on the defective chips.

  

  Business response

  In speaking with the customer, we learned that he had contacted our corporate office and reported the issue with the chips and was told the issue would be reported to quality control. The customer did not realize the issue had also been reported to the store where the chips were purchased to follow up with the customer. The same day, a member of management attempted to call the customer several times but was unable to reach him. Store management will be happy to refund the customer for the bag of chips! I gave the customer the Store Director's name and encouraged him to ask for him or another member of management when he returns to the store. He said he would do so.

  Hello, Not sure exactly how to begin, seeing this problem has been on going for several months now with Brookshires Pharmacy employees in Crossett Arkansas. I have spoken to store managers and pharmacy managers which In turn has made the problem and resentment from the employees of the pharmacy that much worse causing me embarrassment and dread of even going in the store to pick up my medicine. I have gotten mad, cried and prayed on many occasions dealing with the issues. The problem first began when I asked the employees (yes, more than one, on different occasions) to count (have been shorted several times) my pain medication before I left the check out. Several of my family members have witnessed these negative, rude and quite outrageous comments and actions directed towards me. I would like to meet with one of the corporate office members about this ongoing problem.
