Providence Produce Markets, Inc., Deceive Customers, Owner Has DUI, Scam Matthews, North Carolina
David White is the owner of Providence Produce. The produce stands that are set up in South Charlotte on Providence Rd, in Matthews on Monroe Rd and in Mint Hill on Hwy. 51.
He is a drunk. He received a DUI at 6am in the morning on 485. I dont know how his wife, Christine, puts up with him. She is the nicest person in the world. She has the biggest heart and will do just about anything to make your day better. David is an absolute jerk.
The funny thing is, most of their produce isn't local. Only about 2-3 months out of the year its local. The rest comes from Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Mexico and Guatemala. So unless there is a Guatemala, NC that I haven't heard about; then it's not local. They even remove the "out of state/county" stickers off the produce to deceive the customer.
If you go at the right time in the afternoon, around 5pm (rush hour), you can get some nice rotten tomatoes and potatoes that have been baking in the sun all day long. Mmm yum, nothing like a good rotten tomato. Where's the sanitation grade? Produce stands aren't required to have one, yet they have refrigerated items.
David constantly is getting tickets on the highway for not maintaining a safe weight in his big truck. David constantly overloads his truck, putting the safety of other drivers on the road at risk as he trys to get every dollar worth of produce he can back to Charlotte to sell to customers. NC State Troopers have detained him for hours at a time, for an overloaded 18-wheeler.
At nights the even worse beast comes out in David. He drinks until he is flat on his face, smokes cigs until hes practically burning himself and then turns right around and wakes up at 3am, gets IN HIS TRUCK and drives for 2 hours to get produce at a big market then drives back after drinking all night. Each time shoppers go here, they are essentially supporting this behavior. Be responsible and choose a company that does not jeopardize innocent lives for the almighty dollar.
