State: Local store mixed old, new meat
Save-A-Lot employee says he was terminated for warning customers
N9771290
State inspectors documented evidence last week supporting a former employee’s claim that a Statesboro grocery store had mixed expired meat and new meat together. Kenny Denson said he was terminated because he advised customers that meat they selected from the Save-A-Lot store on Northside Drive East was unsafe.Termination papers, signed by Virginia Brenneman, a store manager, state that Denson was fired Sept. 27 due to “customer complaints” against him because he approached them and told them not to shop at the store. The termination followed an inspection Sept. 23 by the Georgia Department of Agriculture in response to a complaint filed with the department, according to reports.Another store manager, Sean Brenneman, who is Virginia Brenneman’s husband, said Friday that Denson was fired for telling customers not to shop at the store.
