The absolute best thing you can do in the case of a small grocery like this is to shop elsewhere if it is feasable. Also advisable is to mention your problem to the owner of the market you end up going to. We had 2 small groceries competing for business in the medium sized town I grew up in. my mother was going thru the same thing you are with the one and finally said the heck with it. I was with her the day she walked into the other store and asked to talk to the owner and told him what had been going on at the other store. He gave her 10% off her groceries for a month (what he gave his employees) and for the rest of the time that man owned that store ( a good 12-15 years) on the front page of his little 2 page (double sided) ad that he put out weekly it said " We don't kid around about our sales. if its in this ad or in our window, thats what it is. If you are charged a different price than what the ad or window says, that item is free."
Oh and a sidenote - their business increased by 35 % and the other store went under within the year.
