Fry's Food Stores

Racially Profiled by the same security guard for the past few years. I've been living near this Fry's for over 5 years now, and it amazes me that everytime this guard works, he eye balls me and follow me around the store. Then when it's time for me to check out, he stands near that area until I pay my money, then he leaves to go elsewhere in the store. I have complained to this store's manager at least twice in the past few years and he has never been reprimanded for profiling me. He did it again today, and I again complained, this time to the asst manager on duty. She did nothing. When I asked her why did she let the guard continue to treat me like I was about to steal something, she told me that this is where he is stationed and that was that. I reluctantly put my groceries in my car, and though, "I bet he ain't standing where he was standing while I was checking out, and sure enough, not 3 minutes after I left the store, he left his post! It would not be so bad if it weren't the fact that this is the same guy who year after year sees me in the store, buying stuff, and paying for it. My neighbors don't shop here, and I see why; this store is the pits. From now on I will go to either the Walmart Market across the street, or down the the Fry's over on Swan. I will never go back into that ghetto fry's again; and as far as that security guard with the 'Napoleon Complex' he can kiss where the sun don't shine, he ain't worth a good beat down...

This is my opinion of and experience with Fry's Food Store located at 3920 E Grant Rd Tucson AZ. I had which ultimately became the misfortune of being called for an interview at this location. I arrived seven minutes early for my interview and asked a cashier to page a manger whose name I am not using in this blog. This cashier was obviously annoyed to put it mildly. I find this curious as I was doing as I was instructed. The cashier then yelled at someone else that may have been in management and identified me as a customer. This was not correct as I had identified myself as a job applicant who had an appointment for an interview. The person who I was passed off to indicated that their phones and computers were down and instructed me to sit on a bench which appeared to be located in front of their office. The park bench was occupied by a "customer" who appeared to be one of the city's abusers of crystalized methamphetamine. I could not have sit down at the bench even I wanted to as Princess Meth was sitting in the middle of the bench and there would not have been enough room for a five foot eight inch 140 lb. male to sit without getting very, very close to the scary lady. After waiting for fifteen minutes after the scheduled start time of my interview I was approached by two store personnel stating that they needed to reschedule my interview. One of the persons asked for my phone number so she could contact me to reschedule the interview. This person frankly already had my cell phone number. I told her that I wouldn't have the cell phone with me for approximately two hours. She seemed to be annoyed by this and told me that the interview probably would not be rescheduled for that day. She then said that she was very sure that the interview would not be rescheduled for that day. This was fine by me as I did not expect them to reschedule the interview for the same day considering the issues that they were having in operating the store. She then said to me that "hopefully there would be another day". It was quite obvious to me at that time that these people had absolutely no interest in interviewing me and just wanted me to leave the store. Needless to say I was never contacted for the rescheduling of the interview. I like would to add that the only staff in the store that did not appear to be unhappy to be at work were people who appeared to be Courtesy Clerks which was the position that I was supposed to be interviewing for. The other people that I observed appeared to be unhappy to be at work. My recommendation is not to apply for positions at this location. These people are rude and unprofessional to put it mildly. They may be stressed out that their competition across street, Wal-Mart, is much busier than they are and that store is probably the standard that their store is expected to aspire to. Don't waste your time trying to get a job at this Fry's location. They are losers. There are other Fry's locations in Tucson that are obviously professionally managed. A customer can tell this within fifteen minutes of observing store personnel. My advice is if you want a job with Fry's is to apply to one of these locations. I personally would not buy groceries at this grant road location either as if this is the way they deal with job applicants only god knows what they are doing to the food that you are serving to your family that you purchase from them
