Giant Food Old Court Rd. Pikesville MD
Giant Food, with the narrower aisles, and “dividers” of unnecessary display boxes and products in the middle and ends of EVERY aisle, you risk hitting someone when you round almost every aisle due to their blind spots. Grocery shopping is bad enough. But what I'm NOT going to do at a grocery store? Utter 50 "s'cuse me's" as I pick up butter. Who wants to spend their energy having to "size up" the mood, temperament, disposition and attitude before deciding if it's "safe" to utter a "pardon me”. Each time I was looking at cereal, a cut of beef, or the best-looking smoked turkey necks, I had to move forward and away from what I was looking at, because there was no room for anyone to get around me. My tape shows how the store has narrowed its aisles, making it hard to navigate the store without constantly bumping into other carts or having to spend time waiting to get around a cart. I have had to put up with so many changes at this store, since it was affectionately called the “Gucci Giant”. Last year I accepted the store now has scales to weigh groceries at the register. It let me know that incidences of theft have increased. But I'd always had an enjoyable experience, even with the increased "security". I'd never had a negative experience, so I was never hindered at shopping here. But TODAY?!! Giant owes me an apology for speaking me in a very derogatory manner and threatening to touch my purse and put me out of the store for NO just cause. I did not commit a crime. In a video I was expressing my exasperation at the new, awful, crowded design. Yes, the CHEAP doors on both sides of the dairy and breakfast meats aisles was not thought-out. When you add two aisles of people and carts, its mass congestion. This is the first major establishment I will no longer visit, because of its poor decision-making skills. Any executive within The AHOLD Companies should question the basic thinking skills for all who signed off on making this store a battlefield of angry customers who can’t shop proficiently because of the narrow spaces, especially when the shelves are being stocked.
