      Since May 2023 I have called Albertsons 13 times to see why my email address has not been removed from marketing solicitations. When I click on "unsubscribe" I am told that I am unsubscribed but clearly I am not, as I receive 1-2 marketing emails from Jewel (Albertsons, parent). My 13 wasted phone calls represent 10 hours of calling to customer service. I am continually told that my issue has been escalated to their IT team. Nothing changes. I am even told I will be called with an update or that a supervisor will be returning my call. Never a phone call to me. Albertsons is in violation of the email marketing laws and as a customer who is in the business, am appalled that 6 months later this basic customer service issue is not resolved. I am always told this is a priority---it clearly is not and not solving this issue is wrong. I merely want my name removed from their email marketing list--it's that simple. And it is my right as a consumer.

      Albertsons and Vons grocers both advertised boneless beef short ribs on sale for five dollars a pound. I went to Albertsons to buy some, and I couldnt see them in the case. I asked the woman at the counter and she pointed out a boneless picnic rib and said that was what I was looking for. I said no I dont think so. That looks nothing like a short rib. And she said no its the same thing. I said the picture in your ad is a short rib. She said thats just the picture that marketing put in there. But this is a beef short rib. And I said Im sorry, but its not. And she said would you like to talk to the butcher. Yes please. So he comes out and proceeds to tell me the same exact thing. that the picture that they uploaded into their app was from marketing and has nothing to do with the item that they have on sale. I left there very frustrated. And went to check out in the front and told my frustrations to the store manager. She called the butcher and spoke to him, and then repeated the same story to me all over again. And said if I needed to talk to somebody, I could call the marketing department. so I came home and I called Albertsons. **************** line and said I needed to talk to the marketing department. She of course had no idea what I was talking about but took my report anyway. I heard back from the store manager yesterday. And he didnt have anything to add, except to be more sympathetic towards me and said yeah nobody likes a bait and switch. he offered to give me the bone in short ribs for the same price per pound as the boneless. I said Ill consider it. But if you do the math on that, I would be getting all kinds of bone and paying five dollars a pound for it, which is why you buy boneless. so that would cost me more money. The point of all of this is that I cant believe that this is what theyre doing. This is illegal bait and switch. Advertising one thing with a photo and then selling you something else and swearing that thats what it is

Ive called customer service and the chat line and they have not been able to update my email.

      I placed an online grocery order for delivery July 31, 2024. My order was never delivered and show in "picked up" status from July 31, 2024 to August 13, 2024. In between this time frame I spoke with multiple online support chat agents that confirmed the order was refunded and I should wait the 5-7 business days. August 12, 2024 marked the 7th business day with no confirmation from Albertsons's or my bank that the refund was pending. August 13, 2024 I reached out yet again to a chat support agent and asked for confirmation email to be sent. The chat agent ignored my request and ended our chat suddenly. I called to get a real update and the phone agent confirmed she saw multiple requests put in for my refund but it was never submitted. She could not tell my why it was Never submitted other than *********** system may have glitched. The phone agent was the first ****** to successfully cancel the original order and process the refund and proceeded to tell me I needed to wait another 5-7 business days for my refund. Throughout the entire process I had been understanding, patient, and respectful to the agents but to find out that after multiple agents told me my refund was submitted only to find out that it was not was extremely frustrating. I am a single mother on a fixed income so imagine how difficult it was having to tell my child that we not only did not have any food for home but also no money for the next two weeks until my payday before I would be able to buy more groceries. In fear and stress from my online experience I had no option but to pay for an **** to Albertsons and pay for an **** home when I was able to afford more groceries.

      Dates(first-time money was withdrawn until the latest): 6/11/23-7/23/24 Monday, ****** took $170.91 Short-term loan. They connect with your bank account to ensure you have a steady income. You borrow the money and pay a fee if you pay it back on time. That was supposed to be the end, but then ****** started charging me for an investment add-on. I have no idea what it is, but they automatically put in five dollars for you even though I didnt sign up for an investment account. When I went to try to close the account because, they charge a $14.99 a monthly service charge, they said I couldnt close out my account until my balance was zero. Still, you cant withdraw five dollars so you have to put in more money to have enough to withdraw but It says nowhere exactly how much money that has to **** says nowhere exactly how much money that has to be but it does say that theres a hold once you put the money in to be able to withdraw it. Th. It says nowhere exactly how much money that has to be, but it does say that theres a hold once you put the money in to be able to withdraw it. The whole thing is a scam.

      We live in a community of predominantly elderly people. Albertsons has an app that you can look at their ads. Then you have to clip coupons on the app to get deals, now even if you clip the coupon some things you have to ************** or have delivered to get the special, also some items you have to buy 4 to get the deal, or they have a limit as to how many you can buy. I find these rules extremely unfair especially to older individuals who cant navigate the phone easily. Also what senior citizens needs 4 carton of sour cream? I watched an elderly lady get over charged in the check out & was told to go to customer service then was told we cant help you but you can call this number. Then I go to check out & the sale price on the meat doesnt ring up right. The clerk says I have to go to customer ************ took 10 minutes for them to figure out what I was over charged. It is 112 degrees here, so by the time they were done my ice cream is melting. I am so stressed that I will not be going back to Albertsons again.

      On Sun, 26 May 24, my husband and I visited the *********** store at ***************************************************. We entered the store and proceeded to the meat **** to purchase ribeye steaks. As we were discussing the meat cut options with ****, Mgr at the butcher counter, ******, the Night Manager and ******, Cashier, aggressively approached us and stated that ****** got a report from someone else that we were shoplifting. ****** demanded that we leave the store. This was an embarrassing moment for us as we both work in professional fields for the feds and this behavior can negatively impact our security clearance. This unprovoked behavior by ******, not only astonished us but also **** as he had engaged us the entire time in the store. ****** and ****** admitted that they did not observe us concealing anything or change price tags or shoplift. They admitted someone else reported it, neither could elaborate on what we were falsely accused of shoplifting. We asked to see video footage, call security or LE- they refused. ****** walked off rudely and dismissed her improper contact and false accusation without an apology. We asked for store mgr as we were being racially profiled. They had no factual basis to accuse us of shoplifting. We were informed by the Front End Supv that *****, the store manager would be in the next morning. The next day, we madean official complaint to *****. She reviewed the footage and confirmed that the tape did not show that we shoplifted. ****** had no probable cause to stop us. ***** said there were person(s) who were shoplifting and ****** and ****** made a mistake and approached us instead. ***** stated they did not follow proper protocol. They must observe the customer concealing an item or change price. ***** promised to call me back to resolve this matter and she has not. We would like compensation for the ********* employees unprofessional treatment and harassment, the ordeal was embarrassing and has caused us anxiety.

Based on the Manager and employees unlawful actions, our expectation is that the ********* Manager/Executive Team will extend an offer of a substantial gift certificate as a fair compensation for the atrocity we suffered in the ********* store and as a start to win back our trust and business as loyal customers.
      Sincerely,

      Greetings *************************:

      Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. 

      We reviewed your account and did not see a refund request for the first order, so we went ahead and processed a refund of $23.98. For the second order, you submitted a refund request on the 4th. Refund requests take ***** hours to process. We can see a refund of $41.14 was processed today within that timeframe. You should have received receipts for both refunds and should see those back in your account within 3-5 business days, depending on your financial institution. 

      We have also shared your customer service concerns with the appropriate teams for their review and improvement, and again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. 

      Thank you,

      Complaint: 21948476

      I am rejecting this response because:

      *******, is to Refund the FULL Order Refund in $146.41 not $23.98. The initial $23.98 was more in refund as I sent you, that breakdown for the 3rd time! Your Staff were ignorant in processing, the Initial Refund in $29.47! <from 6/24 to 7/5 you, plating yoyo w/my refund!> Far worse ******* your Staff not once 3 x I inquired all docs are provided to you! As I also advised you, in email not once BUT, 11x Email w/its breakdown & full proper explanation! None of you, have the right to not process a refund and hostage Customers Money. Take weeks to refund us and to drop an *** in overcharges  yALL charge! (More than needed or any Retailer does). Amazon for instance **** ***** the refund takes less than 24 hrs. Then w/SNAP you, abuse your power badly, SNAP Refunds are an instant and mot days or weeks! Strenuously, I been tolerant and far too kind. Always, giving you, chances to improve your deliveries and yALL get worse! Your shopper Associates instead of shopping, like they doing it for themselves they dont! They ignore the notes and on double items instead of expiration to be longer than the other its days away from expiration! They dont look to give the freshest because ******* Mgmt obliges them to get rid of the almost days to expire or actual are expired! I have not gotten the emails to any refunds you, claiming! (Yet at least)

      The Actual & Correct Refunds are:

      1. Order Number # ******** Is $146.41
      2. Order Number # 93956111 is 
      $42.00 

      Totaling Refund Amount is:$188.41

      this is whats due! $188.41 Please advise when these refunds will be returned to my OFP! This will be ASAP not days, weeks either!  Its the only and proper thing *******, needs to correct ASAP pls! 

      The lack in respect and dismissive attitude yALL Have is DONE! I had to resort to this outcome to get a response! ******* SHAME ON YOU!! FYI Your Apology, means nothing as we are past such created by your staff in **************** its supervisors and you, *******! 

      Sincerely,

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. <because I received a Full Refund to these problematic order/s!> ******** corrected their employees improper handling, including the Shoppers! <w/a Full Refund for  both orders which I appreciate> BUT,.
      I truly, hope ******* rectifies the structure within their company, w/their employee/s! Moreso the Shopper/s to shop as if they, were shopping for THEIR OWN FAMILIES, as well for THEMSELVES!!!<actually, read the customers notes that is their purpose!> The expiration date/s should be afar not a day, or days away especially, for multiples of the same items purchased. Bakery, should be always, FRESH not like a rock stale, moldy, and exploding in overpowering, yeast stink either! ******* cautious in nothing but, Freshness for/to: fruits/veggies, dairy, meats so forth. As for their customer service they, need a major restructure course in entirety! Their employee/s are obliged to actually, in doing their job! <in a timely fashion too foremost for refunds to expired and spoiled foods!> An employee should not have an attitude nor an option in using, their positions to vent their own misery! <power trips,  need to be disallowed too!> As for their supervisors better leadership, is a NECESSITY! This avenue would actually, create better employee/s a motivation, <if you,will> to  be more diligent, kind and utmost courteous within their job/s! <and not creating, unnecessary drama to ******** Customers!> I AM DONE! In cloding, ******* there is your much needed both true and honest FEEDBACK!

      BBB THANK YOU, for existing!!! Stay safe!
