Professional Complaint Letter Subject: Urgent Complaint…read moreRegarding Harassment and Verbal Abuse by Store Employee - Ruler Foods (Date: Jan 22, 2026) To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report a serious incident that occurred at your Ruler Foods location on January 22, 2026, at approximately 6:15 PM. I have been a long‑time customer, and I have never experienced anything as disrespectful, hostile, or unprofessional as what took place during this visit. I attempted to purchase a pack of pretzels that was displayed for $4.00, but it scanned at $6.99. I informed the clerk, Matt Munier, who went to check the price. He confirmed that the sign showed $4.00 but stated it was "in the wrong location" and refused to honor the displayed price. When I asked to speak to the manager, he claimed he was the manager and walked away. Another clerk, Helen Robinson‑Godsey, approached and asked if I needed assistance. As I explained the situation, Matt walked by and loudly stated that I "must have been drinking," which is completely false and inappropriate. Helen then called the Assistant Store Manager, Lydia Tenwalde, who corrected the issue and honored the displayed price. As I was leaving, Matt stepped away from his register and began yelling multiple derogatory names at me, including calling me several types of "bitches" in front of other customers. He then escalated the situation further by saying, "When I become manager, you Black bitch, you'll be the first one not allowed back in this store." This was racially charged harassment, verbal abuse, and a direct threat of discrimination. Other customers witnessed the incident and were visibly upset by his behavior. I requested that Assistant Manager Lydia contact the Store Manager, Chris, but he refused to come in. I am requesting the following: 1. A full investigation into the conduct of Matt Munier 2. Appropriate disciplinary action 3. Confirmation that customers will be protected from this type of harassment 4. Follow‑up communication regarding the outcome No customer should ever be subjected to this level of disrespect, hostility, or racial abuse in your store. I expect this matter to be taken seriously and addressed promptly. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Rita M. Totty Lima, Ohio Ritatotty12@gmail.com

I shop here often and the variety of discount food changes day to day…read more They have the part of front and back stocked with food that is consistent. They also have a discount row in the front. But most of the action is in the second part (back)of the store. The Deli is amazing and they expanded it not long ago to accommodate the clientele. The staff is very personable and helpful. The rest of the discount food is wonderful as well. They post specials on Facebook and also recently the update about the road closure availability. They posted 2 ways to still get to their store and also put up signs along the road. Will continue to but good quality food from here! Also they do have more than just food.

My Steaks that I paid for ended up in the next person's cart. Store refuses to make it right. I drove 30 - 40 minutes to get there to help out small a business and this is how I get treated. Also they don't always charge you what price is marked. Very shady business practices.

The prices are high at times so you have to watch that when purchasing from there. The staff is usually always super friendly and very helpful. The store itself could use a good update as it's sort of drab-looking and outdated. The variety of things they offer is decent. If you are in the middle of cooking something and need a simple ingredient, it's great to run there quick and grab what you need. Now for regular stocking up grocery shopping, I do not do that shopping there. Prices are a little too high to do that. Fresh meat selection there is good and sometimes they do offer really good deals on certain items.

And they refuse the return "because I need to go through the manufacturer" kinda ridiculous as almost all places take care of that for you.
