  Date of Transaction: 09/01/2024 Order Number: ******** Store Manager: ***** ******** Drive ******* Manager: ***** My wife submitted an online order on 09/01/2024 under her Albertsons account. Unfortunately, not all of the items could be fulfilled. As a result, the charge for the remaining items that were available was higher than had the full transaction been able to be fulfilled. Albertsons has coupons who's parameters must be satisfied completely in order to utilize those coupons. Since they did not have all items available the next day on 09/02/2024, the bill resulted in a total of $76.92 as oppose to $38.71. My wife drove to the aforementioned Albertsons location to pick up her items and had to request to speak with the Drive ******* manager to resolve this issue. ***** could not comprehend that if the missing items could be replaced with other ones that were available at the store, then the coupon parameters would be met and the final bill would still be $38.71. I know this because my wife had me on the vehicle bluetooth system connected when she was dealing with *****. ***** was unprofessional, incompetent in her job knowledge, and rude to my wife. In the end, my wife requested a full refund and did not take the items. Albertsons sends an email when a refund has been issued. I know this because I've had refunds before. My wife has yet to receive an email as of today 09/20/2024 of an issued refund. We've spoken with customer support at ************** and have been told on three seperate occassions now that we need to wait 5-7 business days for the refund. Also, that an email will be sent 24 hours after a refund has been issued. No luck as of now. Albertsons has a *********** Team. They rejected our refund request. I've tried contacting the store manager ***** ********, but am always unsuccessful in locating him. They always tell me that he is not in that day that I call. It has now been 18 days since our refund request. No money has been returned as of today.

  I had the worst experience at the Albertsons location at *******************************************. I had an Instacart pick up order that the associate refused to bring to my vehicle, then I went inside and ask if they had single fork so I can eat an item I just purchased and the agent lied to me and told me they dont after I went to the deli and it indeed had free forks at the food section. It seems to me that these agents are racist, the manager was there it she didnt make the situation no better today date is 09/14/24. I been ordering insta cart every week and this is by far the worst service I received. After I came out another associate brought someone order out after telling me they dont bring out order to their pick up area

  I cancelled Albertsons annual fresh pass on 3/17/24 AFTER they fraudulently double charged $99 annual fee for a total of $198, which my bank refunded with dispute. Now, as email upload shows, Albertsons sends harassing monthly emails describing annual account I previously cancelled, with future threat of 2/5/25 renewal to debit card on file I already cancelled. Several unsuccessful emails led me here. Every shopper, run don't walk from this fraudulent company.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Your intention to fraudulently charge me for a CANCELLED account is crystal clear, as I CANCELLED because you double charged for an annual fee I NEVER enrolled in as it was always a monthly plan Albertsons converted to annual without my authorization. I spent hundreds there, past tense, so if Albertsons is TRULY sorry, an apology gift card is in order, you have my email address. ***********************

  the employee purposely insulted and refused to address by concerns. she thought my concerns were funny and to be ridiculed that "its not my problem". when informing her that she was representing customer relations and services, she said "no i don't". when she invited others to join in she lied and acted like a victim. She is sadistic and fraudulently represented the interaction as my confronting her without a need. I can't feel safe as an elderly citizen customer in this store as long as she serves the self checkout line.

  I placed an order for pickup on Aug ******* -Order: #********.Because of some sort of computer glitch, the order was assembled but never released for pickup on the 11th. I called the business multiple times that day, and eventually asked to cancel the order and was told "of course".At 11:30 pm that night I received an email from ****** advising the payment had been processed & another email from the store that the order was ready.Because of the hassle I had the day of order, I decided to pick the order up and be done with the situation. I picked the order up on August 12, 2024 at 9am.Upon putting away my groceries, I discovered missing items - 3lb.of ground beef = approx. $18.00 & 4 six packs of ********* bottles = $12.00.I went to the website and requested a refund for the missing items, and was immediately approved for a $6 refund, while the additional amount was under review.I received an email from the corp. on August 17, 2024 advising the refund request was denied - because the $6 refund was processed.I am out $24 for groceries I never received & have no desire to deal with them again.
