I have been shopping at this place called Price Mart at Marine Way in Burnaby since it opened. However, for the past two years, I been harrassed by this jerk supervisor named Roberto Leon. Everytime I shop in that place he always seems to be following me around the store as if I’m going to steal something. I often take some extra coupons from the shelf and bring in lots of coupons to shop, but that’s about it.
First off, I would never steal from a place I shop at. I don’t want to be a criminal. What am I going to do stick a ham down my pants or place some buns in my shirt. I have always been taught it is wrong to steal.
Whenever I use multiple coupons for items I am purchasing more than 1 of he tells me that I can only use 1 coupon for only 1 item. I am not stacking them. I am simply using 1 coupon per one item. Like, one time I bought 3 jars of pickle and gave 3 coupons, this jerk told me I could only use 1.
Then there was this other time, I used up all my free item coupons from Nestle. He noticed I was getting everything for free, so he makes this remark about that I was basically making a steal on my free things I was getting. He looked them carefully as if I made them or altered them myself.
What really p$$$$$ me off was last Friday night around 10 pm (they closed at 11 pm) when I brought some pop and juice empties for deposit. He was such a jerk that he took his sweet time to come over to count them. I returned 12 cans in the case they can along with 2 loose cans, 6 empty plastic 500mL bottles and 5 - 2L pop bottles. He thought I was trying to trick him by putting less cans in the case, so opened up it up and counted them. He looked at each can carefully. He even ripped me off by only giving me back $1.90 instead of $2.00. I asked him what about the rest of my change. He said that he only counted $1.90 worth of cans and bottles.
After that, I thought I would look for something to eat and maybe get a magazine. The whole time I was shopping this Roberto a@$hole kept following me around as if I was going to steal something. Well I decided to pick out a magazine when he came up from behind me as I was flipping through the magazine. I said to him, ” Look man, I’m going to buy this magazine, okay.” As I was walking around some more, I became really irritated with him so I decided to drop everything I picked up and ditch the place. As I was exiting that place and getting into my car and driving away, that a@#hole Roberto ran out after me as if I stole something, which I swear to God I didn’t. What the Hell. Does this jerk do that to all his other customers?
After this experience, I don’t think I will shop there again. I am curious if any coupon people who have shopped there with lots of coupons has ever experienced such wacko service.
I was thinking of writing a letter to the manager, but I have been told by employees that he is a##hole too.

Ok thats just creepy having an employee stalk you in the store.
Joe says...
You should follow up with the store manager and stop shopping there immediately.

This is totally unacceptable service from a store. I would call the main office and write to them. How dare he make you feel like a criminal.We are the customers and we are there to make THEM money. Also ask for their coupon policy. I would complain. He is unprofessional and is almost stalking you.
Lol you should have asked him if he had a crush on you!

Yes, I have stopped shopping at that store. I am in the process of contacting the Overwaitea head office. That store won’t getting any of money anytime soon.
Nadine says...
Badlady - please keep us updated. Robert’s behaviour is unprofessional and I hope head office deals with this inappropriate behaviour.
Ron Simmons says...
Maybe he wants a date.

I sent my complaint letter to Overwaitea and left them my number. They have not contacted me back yet. I probably won’t be getting an apology anytime soon. I spoke to someone else who also has stopped shopping at that Price Smart. She agrees with me and says that many of the supervisors at that store are jerks and a$$holes. So nothing to worry about. I don’t feel that bad anymore. That Price Smart is just shooting themselves in the a$$. I believe Karma going to be a B@#$% when that A$$hole gets his.

If you were smart you would notice I used wildcards to block out any profanity I might be using. I do not think you actually read what you are responding to. So stop making assumptions.
Yes, this is a family site. So that why I edited out the language so young children can’t see what I actually say. A@$Hole could mean “ape”hole. If you are offend by my message then stop attempting to read it and coming back to reply to. And stop making fun of a bad situation already. There is such things as bad customer service and we have the right to let others know about places of bad service.
