I had to work late and needed groceries very badly, after picking my son up, I went to my loacal Albertsons grocery store. Since it was late, I had not yet cashed my payroll check, but since I had bought groceries with my payroll check in the past, I told my son my plan. As I walked into my local Albertsons, I asked the first manager-type looking person that I saw and asked if I could buy groceris with my payroll check. He asked me how much my check was for and I told him the amount, but also that I had alot of groceries to buy. He told me that it would not be a problem.
So I proceeded to fill my shopping cart with $200.00 worth of groceries, etc. Put them all on the conveyer belt, even helped bag them too. The cashier was the same guy I spoke to when I first got to the store. I handed him my check after all the groceries were rung up, then he told me that he could not take it because it had a handwritten signature.
This was not true, but even so, what difference does it make how the check was signed? It was late, there were people in line behind me, and I said, "are you kidding me, you guys want to do $200 worth of go backs?" I work for a large company, we have branches all over the country and payroll is done in Houston TX, and since it was late, they had no way of verifying my company's existance, I said I could give him my office number and he could call and get our company directory to confirm its existance. He refused. I was so humiliated, and I had checked with this same guy when I first got there. It took quite a bit of time too, to fill my cart with that much stuff. I am so mad, I will never shop there
again, and I have a 6 member household, we spend alot on food. I will be giving my business to Vons, Ralphs & Stater Bros. From now on.
