“I have 5 stars so this would go to the top of the reviews!! But it’s honestly a BIG 0!!! They are RACIST TO THE FULLEST!! The Asst Mng was very nasty to me and then two days later the Deli Mng working at the front register cursed me out because I wanted my items rung up together and then threw my receipt at me after asking for the number to the Cooperate’s office!!! Although I wanted to stoop to her level it wasn’t worth it! I said thank you for cursing me out she said you’re welcome!! After calling Cooperate’s office, the district manager “ Rebecca “ said she’d go watch the video the next week, she did and of course she said she’d didn’t see her throw the receipt in the video, she did in fact admit to cursing me out!! So I waited a week are so before going back, and I did tonight and who’s behind the register? The rude racist asst Mng!! I paid for my gas and walked out, he stalled “ as I found out a few minutes later “ acting like something was wrong with the pump all the while he had called the cops!!! The cop pulls up behind me at the pump, called my name and I immediately turned in fear because what happened is what I’m thinking. He said that I was trespassing and I’m startled at this point because what do you mean?!?! I told him I talked to Cooperate and that was never mentioned because I didn’t do anything wrong, HER EMPLOYEES DID!!!!! I’m calling an attorney because how can someone put the cops on you because they treated you like crap while working at Tom Thumb! If I had done something wrong I wouldn’t have called Cooperate, I would’ve just left it alone. But because all of the white ppl say I’m wrong ( the one black girl for wanting my things rung up together and NEVER SAID A FOUL WORD PERIOD) I’m trespassing?!? Plz make that make sense??? I feel some type of way at this moment, and it’s not a good feeling, to know that there are district Mng AND MNGS letting and allowing their employees to treat ppl this way and still have a job AND PUT COPS ON YOU WHEN THEY WERE THE ONES WHO WERE WRONG FROM THE START!!!!!! And yes the deli Mng who admitted to “ Rebecca “ the district Mng that she indeed did curse me out also stills works there.”
“I love this place. It's my favorite stop between Columbus and Atlanta. Coffee soda, snacks, bathroom, and gas. Everything you need to survive the trip to Atlanta and/or the trip home.”
