WinCo Foods

New to the area and never been to a WINCO.
Was surprised that most of the items were either less than or comparable to our usual grocery store. It was clean and staff were polite.
Great selection of granola and flax. Trail mixes etc.
Meat selection looked great and fresh.
Got our normal stuff plus some extra goodies!
Will be back.

The only reason they got a one is because I couldn’t go any lower but the store was extremely racist my husband and I. One day we went in there and we were standing in line a lady was going to open her register she turned and looked at me and said I will not take you guys I’m not open then turned around went to the people behind us directly behind and grab the lady stuff and then turned around and assisted her, when speaking to the manager he tried to tell us it’s not a racial problem I don’t know why she did that. Ok she did it because we were black standing in line and she went to the white bitch that was behind us to assist her. I hate this location.

If you are handicapped, or just less able to walk, DO NOT SHOP HERE. They have four electric carts for the people who can’t walk around this football stadium of food and seldom are they charged. The manager lied to me when I complained that the carts should be by the front door not in the far corner, but according to him, there was no electricity there for carts.
There is plenty of electricity for the dishonest «games of skill» where you put in a dollar but never get anything because they are rigged to just take your money as the merchandise slides out of the mechanical gripper.
The new Stater Brothers just about a half mile down the street has eight electric carts as you walk in the door and unlike Winco, the employees are happy to have you shop there and help you. At Winco you are a BURDEN to the employees if you need a cart to shop, at Stater Brothers you are a valued customer.
I spoke to Corporate in Idaho and this @$&!)^+%head said that we were lucky to have the carts there at all. The store is supposed to be «employee owned» and it appears they only hire people who don’t care if you shop there or not.

GO TO STATER BROTHERS!!! This grocery store is full of workers who treat customers horribly. Not worth your time & they definitely don’t deserve your hard earned money.

Went there tonight at 11pm. Left at 1145. Took 15 minutes to get my 8 items and stood in line the rest of the time or had to walk around all the pallets everywhere. I get your trying to stock for the next day but blocking isles seriously? Also I know its Hemet and all but all the weird customers were out tonight. The cashier apologized for taking a long time and some of that had to do with waiting on a manager to help clear something on her register. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

If your new to the area like there is something you need to know.
Winco is amazing and it will blow your mind what they sell and how cheap all there products are. The first time i went in a thought it was so e generic store or a cheapy place like the 99 cent store but it is truly a very interesting store. I recommend you give it a try

Employees are VERY rude, but they have good prices. 3 star rating.

I only shop here because they closed my VONS and the closest Stater Bros. to my house sucks:-(. Prices are decent and the checkers are always polite. We’ve encountered many rude floor employees though. Sorry but customer service, as a whole, is seriously lacking here. Employees who stand in the middle of the aisle chit chatting about their weekend when multiple customers are trying to navigate around them is ridiculous. I could care less that they were talking but the fact that they didn’t have enough courtesy to move to the side and allow customers to pass by is outright rude.
We’ve also come across rude restocking employees on numerous occasions. From almost hitting us with their cart to actually running into our cart when it was stationary. There was also an item I needed, I said «Excuse me can I get by you real quick to grab something.» her cart and her were blocking the item I needed. She not only gave me a dirty look but her reply was «I guess so.» You guess so?
I’m big on customer service and I hate their lack of it as a whole but, options for grocery stores are seriously lacking in Hemet. People say to try Wal-​Mart, um NO that place is even worse. So unless I wanna drive to Sun City to shop at VONS I’m stuck shopping at WinCo, land of the rude floor people.

Excellent WinCo store!
Clean, good prices.
Ruby at self checkout is awesome!
Good pizza!

If you want to stay in good mood dont go to nickie. She is a horrible cashier. She actually was talking to another employee out loud while cashiering about how much she hates cashiering and dealing with customers. How rude. If you dont like your full time, over minimum wage job, then quit. Cus there are 100 people who will gladly take it.

My husband’s favorite grocery store — he loves Winco. We always find something we didn’t know we needed — sometimes a lot of things. But that’s what happens when you let husband’s shop I guess.
Always clean, the cashiers up front are very efficient. The inventory is good.
I’m not thrilled with the staff in the bakery some times — not terribly friendly.
And you do have to watch the prices — many many are great, but some are not at all competitive — sodas come to mind.
But, all in all — we’re very happy going there.

Typically I love Winco, so this is really saying something. I’ve been going to Winco since I was a kid & out of most grocery stores it’s my first pick-​except now that I’ve moved to Hemet. I visited this location the other day & was super surprised to see sub-​par greens & veggies on the shelf. Lettuce heads were not fresh, neither were the potatoes … And after I seen the horrible selection of portobellos I walked out. Yup, cart half full & I just walked out & drove over to sprouts-​where I know the produce is ALWAYS fresh. No more wasting my time here-​I like fresh groceries NOT groceries that will rot in less then a week.

staff is friendly, store is cheap and well stocked, cant beat the prices

Winco has a large selection of excellent produce. Their prices are lower than other competitors, which allows me to stay on budget.

One of the best store in town WinCo. Were you can find a lot of good deals and prices. ‚“OZ” :-)

This place really has it all. We stopped going to Walmart for major grocery shopping recently due to the sheer fact that our savings are off the charts. They really have everything we as a family need and for great prices.
What I still love is the bulk department, great prices on things from candy to dog treats, and some gems like their butter toffy peanuts!
Oh and did I mention they have a friendly staff and a pizza joint with some of the best pies around? Hit it up, you won’t be disappointed.

This is my second favorite grocery store in Hemet. I come here when I do my once/​twice a month trip to grab all my major items. They are priced very well. You do have to bag your own groceries which is okay by me. I never have to wait in a treacherous line like the ones at walmart. The store is huge, they have everything you need.
One IMPORTANT thing to note. They only accept debit cards or cash. No credit!

Honestly, way better than Walmart for food. Most of their items you can get for way cheaper than normal grocery stores. Cereal can go either way. I like how you can bag your own candy and they have trail mix too. Good selection of Frozen Food items. Don’t get their produce here… yuck! They only accept cash, check? and debit card only. NO CREDIT CARDS!
When you’re on a budget (and who isn’t these days?) come to Winco.

Hey Winco fans who talk about how Winco products are cheaper than Walmart’s: They freaking better be. Winco doesn’t have to pay their staff to bag your groceries. They give you the honor of doing it yourself.
Produce here isn’t the freshest, but they do have a good selection of things, and *some* things here are cheaper than Walmart, but most items I found are comparable. I come here only when I’m passing it because I don’t like having to bag my own things. I’m just not used to it. I’m no professional bagger, so I’m a little slow and don’t want others to have to wait on me. I’ll probably be nixing Walmart soon too, though, since they bag at the speed of a turtle. Time is money!

Wow!
Seriously items here are cheaper than I have found in Lucky, Wal Mart and Target. All name brand items and some generic stuff too. But it has everything you need.
Staying in town for a couple of days for a girls weekend and we needed snacks and foods. I was able to get the items for my famous spaghetti dinner, cinnamon rolls and breakfast items and a bunch of chick food! Cart full and spent about $ 100! AND I found my Hormel Beef Tamales in a can!!! I have been looking for them since forever! Not sure if I still like them since I am not 12 anymore but I bought 3!
The aisle are so wide you can have two carts spin inward and still not hit eachother! The store itself is pretty big too!
Had to bag my own groceries which is ok — that way I can put things together that should go together. But it can slow things up too. If you have to bag your stuff and then also use the Debit/​Credit Card thing to pay out — can be a little time issue.
