In my experience, this is now the third strike against Shaws when compared to Stop & Shop.
1) Their produce section is terrible. Veggies always look sickly, don't last very long and are always filthy
2) Prices are generally higher than S&S across the board
3) Poorly implemented and managed gas program

There used to be a Shaws two blocks from me before I just moved. I preferred to drive the extra 10 minutes to S&S.

Good for you to speak up about it with them. Hopefully, they'll send you off a $5-10 gift card and be done with it. Cheap for them and would make me happy.

They offered a $15 gift card.

Of course this was AFTER they coyly stat that they're sorry that I didn't understand the rules.

I replied back calmly and flatly stating that the problem was THIERS, and that I would take their gift card and donate it to an elderly person (there's an assisted-living facility right across the street from them) and then stated that I would be re-considering my shopping options from now on.

The final straw was that their website has incomplete, conflicting rules that don't explain much of anything.

Looks like Stop & Shop for me!
