This was a garbage experience and I did not feel welcome or safe there. After my experience there, I do believe this Piggly Wiggly in Birmingham, Al has high internal theft and there are a couple of local employees vicious, and conniving enough to instigate negative attention to steer blame from them and onto the customer. I said ok sarcastically because I did not believe him and he literally yelled "I will and thank you very much!" It's obvious this store was in the business of instigating its customers in the hopes of meeting some type of quota to justify the high theft in the store. I asked the male cashier why did he ask that and he said he's thinking about getting some too.

He then glanced over at the female officer to signal to her that somethings amiss.

I said 'chicken', as it was labeled on the sticker from the deli cashier. The male cashier asked me what did I have in the container from the deli. The same female police officer was at the counter I was at. I went into the store and bought a meal from the deli, some yogurt and utensils. That moment I thought about turning around and finding another store to find affordable sustenance. The male patron was offended because he was with his pregnant wife.

Even before I entered the store there was this female police officer questioning patrons if they had anything else in their bags. I visited Birmingham, Al Piggly Wiggly late January 2023 while visiting some relatives.
