Really, what is going on with the management of this store? Since

John Redmond came into running the place we all have seen the

decline of this store. From out of date products on the shelf to

the deli meat going bad days after buying it. The passing out of

St. Patric's day cookies in the deli to children for free that are

2 months old. I remember when Foodland used to donate things or

help with community organizations w/o question or being made to

feel like pulling teeth. Now it seems that the store wants rent for

the flower stand using the lot. When all the proceeds go to the

Vets. Wrong pricing on sale items. The constant turn over of

employees. I can say first hand when I worked there he was not even

adhering to the proper labor laws, and when I made light of it I

was met with nothing hassle and retaliation from management. I had

to literally force John to read the WV Labor website to look at the

laws he was breaking himself. Come to find out he had violated

laws for a long time before I was there. Allowing middle

management to threaten co-workers with violence w/o reprimand. He

allowed a for hostile work environment and if one spoke out was

made to feel like they were wrong and endangered of loosing their

job for doing so. Not to mention monies missing from the store. He

fired the one person that did their job correctly accusing her of

stealing (w/o any proof), only to promote one that robbed the place

into a higher position to continue.(case pending) Also using the

shady business practice of suspending people to deter them from

returning to work so that he can attempt to deny unemployment. And

these are observations that occurred in a short time-span of 2-3

months. Who knows what went on there before or what goes on now.

All I know is this store needs looked at seriously and cleaned up.
