This story has been updated to correct a typo. Stop bowing to these ungrateful communists in our country who are trying to take over! I love my country and my freedom…and I want to keep it! The staff is just rude.. Every time I shop there their specials are listed at regular price. I have to walk around with their flyer and show the clerks the correct price. Have been buying there for years, but now buying at Karns. Been shopping there for years, have very good credit.

Most always pay by check. We are not welfare people. Our funds are always there to cover our bill. Been there for at least 40 or more years. We spend a lot of money there, always liked the service, the checkers, pharmacy and more.

We are senior citizens but we are not senile. For my husband to have a check denied today is very embarrassing and humiliating. We have the funds to pay for our bill. We will be leaving this store if this should ever happen again, why shop where you are treated like idiots? I personally will spread the word to other shoppers to stop shopping there too. Word of mouth works. There are individuals that are disabled and single and need that help so it is not fair to state something like that!!!

A few weeks ago I came in your store Callaway store , their was a young lady and not sure what her name was any how, my mother was their shopping and for some reason my mom was having a problem with her bank card, well this young lady was doing her best to help my mom so this lady went to her office and came with her own bank card and paid for my now grocery, I want thank her for doing this, their is not to many people that are good, for her to do.

Please give her my blessing and thank her for us. Michelle stone. My mother said this lady has her hair up in a bun.

The tendency of the company to only make acquisitions that paid for themselves in three to five years was considered by some an impediment to Weis' growth progress. The company was also criticized by some for its resistance to unions and for hiring mostly part-time workers.

Weis took on the positions of chairman and treasurer, while Norman S. Rich, formerly director of the company's quality control division, was named president. In September , Les Knox was named vice-president of merchandising, a newly created position. Jonathan Weis, son of Robert, also began working at the company in the early s.

Groomed to eventually take over the business, Jonathan started out working in the real-estate end of the business. In the early s, Weis embarked on the most ambitious growth program in its year history. In December , Weis purchased 14 Mr. Z's stores IGAs at the time , eventually adding five more.

This acquisition greatly expanded Weis' market in the northeastern region of Pennsylvania, including the popular Pocono Mountain area, and provided a strong base for expansion into New Jersey.
