My first reaction was to NEVER shop at Shaw's again.

Then I called the Barrington Shaws store and spoke with Tracey, who identified herself as the Customer Service Manager.

Tracey stated that "Nobody ever said that" and "We welcome all local...everyone..."

I asked her to contact the East Bay Newspapers to refute the letter and she stated that it was not her job. "Things like this are handled by corporate, but I will pass the message along"

I then called Josh at Barrington Times and left a message.

Let's get the full story before we back it (which I will do if it is true)!

Hoping it was a miscommunication.

From: Letter: This veteran will do his grocery shopping elsewhere

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
