I have shopped at Shop Rite in CT on Tuesdays for years to take advantage of the 10% senior discount. Today I was told they no longer offer a discount to senior citizens.

What a slap in the face! I will certainly stop shopping there and go to my local grocer who offers the same discount on Wednesdays. Shame on you, owners of Shop Rite Waterbury for closing the door on seniors.

Did that 10% put such a hardship on your profits that you had to take it away from the elderly living on fixed incomes? I thought this was a family run business; I certainly hope you treat your elderly family members better than this.

I too am surprised at no senior discount. Not only that but bringing your own bags does not earn you 5 cents each either.

Sunday mornings my produce dept is a mess! Norwalk Ct

I've never heard of a senior discount day at Shoprite. But this post is over five years old.

Yes, this is so cheap of such an enormous very profitable corporation.Shame on you Shop Rite.

Discounts are a courtesy not a right, and this post right just confirms why people do not deserve them. You are so stingy and actually have the nerve to say something bad about a company who no longer wants to offer one to selfish, greedy expectant people.

These elderly people are living on fixed incomes! Most of them have worked 30 to 40 years of their life for a company or Federal government.

A lot of our retired adults don't have a 401k or a pension plan! What do they get, Social Security? The government gives them a little more in their Social Security so they can not be eligible for any Govt. programs or Benefits!

If you are a grown adult, paying your own bills all by yourself, then you might understand and sympathize what others might be suffering financially!

"ShopRite" is a huge chain of Supermarkets which makes Billions in Profit every year. Actually, ShopRite is owned by "Wakefern Food Corporation" and in 2015 they made 57.4 Billion.

So can this company afford to give Senior Citizens 5-10% Discount 2 days out of the week?

I think so! You had one thing Right "LADYSCOT"... ShopRite does Reserve the Right to decline Senior Citizens their Discount. Is that right on Moral grounds and do you think that is a Wise Business decision?

I think NOT on both accounts!!! YEP, I AM DONE!

SO LADYSCOT, U R NOTHING BUT A DISRESPECTFUL, LITTLE B!+โ‚ฌH WITH VERY LITTLE UNDERSTANDING ON HOW HARD LIFE CAN BE!!!

U MUST HAVE BEEN BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON IN YOUR MOUTH!!! HAVE RESPECT FOR YOUR ELDERS!

THANKS & EFF U LADYSCOT FOR YOUR IGNORANCE!

She's selfish, greedy and expectant because she wants to eat and be able to afford food. "WHAT" she wants to eat. Shame on her.

what a *** you are!!! Stingy, greedy expectant people?

GFY... this is a senior on a fixed income. i now pray that something happens bad in your life so that you can't afford to buy the food that you want.

I pray that you live the rest of your life on a fixed income that is the slap in the face from our government. GFY with your fancy car and expensive gadgets.

We are not selfish greedy people, we are senior citizens on a fixed income. You obviously have no common sense.

I stopped shopping there when they took my mom's lousy 10% discount away.

Guest

Philadelphia pa port Richmond shop rite gives 5 % gonna stay with pathmark they give 10%

Guest

Some offer the discount-West Haven, CT did but now you need a coupon for it- seems to me there should be a way to put that info on your profile and on the day they offer it, it should automatically register. Hey it's only 2014 how hard can that be?

Derby, CT SHop Rite DOESNT OFFER ANY DISCOUNT FOR SENIORS unless you have the coupon from West Haven, or Milford.

How do I get that since I live in Derby? We love our customers?

Guest

I just went to shoprite in manahawkin NJ. And they told me they don't offer a senior discount.

The website Seniordiscounts.com includes Shoprite.

Also our local competitor offers.

10%. I will be going there

Guest

So because you don't get special treatment for being a senior citizen you throw a temper tantrum.

Why not. The libtards can do it why can't we seniors.
