Albertsons

I just moved over to this Albertsons from one that’s closer to me house. I was estreamly please by my first experience. Didn’t have much interaction with t
Staff but the staff I did was pleasant. Not today. I felt the cashier Micheal was cold made me feel like he was bothered. But your store is still the best I’ll come back. Just avoid that line from now on.

I suppose a grocery store in a rich area or with slightly higher prices could offer better service and overall shopping experience, but I can’t see very many improvements this particular Albertson’s location could make. We know most of the staff by name and go here for almost all of our groceries (some things I get at Costco still). The management takes their commitment to short lines, a clean store, and well trained staff seriously and it shows. Plus, I think that Albertson’s has found the correct balance between price and presentation; I know I can get canned goods cheaper at Food4Less but who wants to go there when you can be greeted at the door, at the register, and wished well by a bagger… all for a few cents more per item.

Ever since Von’s/Haggens closed, fletcher hills is held hostage by Albertsons.
I went in today and found they had turkey meat on sale. Limit was 2. I had my wife and son there so I picked up 6 pkgs. The guy working the meat area gave me so much grief about it that I put it all back and left the store. Thankfully Smart & Final is close, and their everyday price on meat is close to what Albertsons charges on sale.
I bet this guy wouldn’t have cared if Von’s was still open.
In the past I’ve had checkers recommend that I do exactly what we were going to do by having the wife buy her limit of 2.
We miss you Von’s!!!

There is one particular reason I’m writing this review on this grocery store. Everytime we go in its not busy and super clean and everyone is so friendly. We also go to the produce section first. A couple of times we usually see Enrique and he’s always so pleasant to the kids and I. Today my husband was with me and we were getting fruit. AGAIN Enrique was extremely kind and not like a robot but he took the time to make sure we had what we needed. So much that my husband knowing I Unilocal most really good experiences says «you should Unilocal him… well not him but the store but make sure you point him out» okay so I’m doing just that. Enrique goes above and beyond for his customers no matter the time and day he always has a smile on his face and always glad to help!

I used to come here from a fair distance because of the QUALITY of their meats… d;^)
They had a Labor Day ad for rib-​eye steaks (my favorite kind) so I went to get some!
I was thinking of 6 maybe 8, but only bought TWO because they did NOT include the rib-cap…d;^(
The single best part of a rib-​eye!
The ‘old boy’ behind the counter told me they did not come with it any longer (company policy), BUT he had that cut separately for $ 6.00 a pound!
This was rather odd since I’ve only seen it for $ 30+ dollars per pound!
I took a small cut kind of suspecting something fishy… d;^(
I was right, cooked to a nice ‘rare’ 123* my wife with bad teeth could not eat it!
BTW: The ‘choice’ rib-eye’s look more like ‘select’, but my wife prefers a less fatty cut.
Will not go back to a place that ‘misinforms’ AND fudges on QUALITY…

I’ve been going here since I was in middle school, and I went today since the Albertson’s I go to in Spring Valley is quite disappointing. I was very happy that the produce is fresh and the packaged food and dairy products were not about to expire the following day (like the other Albertson’s). The cashiers are really nice and they get you in and out with a quickness.

Not my primary shopping stop but I drop in know then when I need something & working in the area. Place is clean, lot of parking, and easy access. Last visit I was looking for something in the pharmacy area and everything was organized. It took me a little time to find the one item I needed but found it in the end. I did not realize how much they carry. I needed an eye glass repair kit and it was so small I did not see it mixed in with the eye drops. Prices looked reasonable to other places I shop at. It was not busy when I stopped in so in and out pretty quick,

I now find myself shopping at Albertson’s because my usual stores only either carry organic fruit & veggie jars or organic baby cereal, never both. Before I had to make the choice in which one was more important but now that I know that Albertson’s carries both, I’m switching grocery retailers.
My son’s health is important and if only more people knew and understood the environmental, and health difference between organic and Genetically Modified Organism (GMO).
The other store I went to had gas kick backs to the only gas station chain I buy from, but this is more important to me than that.

It was my first time coming here to this location; I haven’t been to an Albertson’s in a long while. This store is very close by though so I thought I’d give them a shot.
Apparently they have done away with any rewards card or loyalty program and the girl who informed me of it was none too polite or flowery about it. She simply stated when I inquired, «We don’t have one. It’s already there.» By «it» she meant savings, I can only assume, and by «there» she meant «in the price.» I am only assuming that was what she was trying to convey but I have my doubts because I saw the prices and they were pretty steep.
The stars I gave for the selection of items, which was impressive. Minus a star for prices, minus a star for no friendly faces. And heck, minus a star for it being way too cold in there.

Fix your phone. Spent way too much life trying to figure out when your recycling center closes.

Albertsons. I haven’t been to one in such a long time! Its nice and clean here and basically another Ralphs & Vons.

This is not my primary store for grocery shopping, but there are a few things I like here and the service is always great.
I bring my son to do his recycling and he turns in his little slips at the customer service desk and the manager is always very friendly and remembers him. He offers to exchange his smaller bills for larger ones. They talk about video game systems, ect.
I have been ordering cakes from the bakery here for years, they do a great job and they always remember me when I come in. The last few times my son has requested things they didn’t have available but they worked with me when I brought in the decoration kits. Bonus, it’s much cheaper than Flour Power, which I used to go to and everyone likes their cakes just as much.
The deli is also a nice stop. My son loves to do some sampling there. The guys there always humor him with a cheerful smile. He drags me over there for his sandwich pepperoni and samples all the cheeses they let him.
I can’t seem to leave this store without buying their spicy guacamole. I can finish a container of it in less than 24 hours by myself. Maybe because I put it on everything.
The store is always clean. They have bathrooms in the front of the store, by the registers, also clean. They have a well lit, huge parking lot. And the self-​checkout is always open and staffed.

I have shopped here at least once a week since 2008. I drive across town past two other grocery stores to shop here.
The parking is easy with lots of wide spaces.
The store has many of conveniences: clean bathrooms easily found at the front of the store, pharmacy, coin counter machine, dry ice, lovely floral department, and great greeting card/​seasonal/​holiday items.
The store is spacious, clean, well-​lit, and has a large selection. I’m an avid cook and hate to have to drive to Whole Foods to find something… I want to leave my money in La Mesa. The shopping carts are clean and the cart wipes are always available.
What really makes it a pleasure to shop at this store is the team that works here. From the management team, to the checkers and baggers, to produce, deli, bakery, and meat counter, they all care about the customers and are friendly. I’m greeted warmly by everyone I encounter and they make me feel like a «regular». I am probably Manager Rod’s most «demanding» customer, but he always tries to help with my questions, special orders, and requests (and there are a lot of them). He has a great attitude and customer service spirit and that sets the tone for everyone who works at this store. The checkers are always friendly and remember me as a frequent customer. A special shout out to the lady who stocks the cheese fridge area who ALWAYS gives me a great big smile and hello. It is SO nice to see the same team members here year after year. The baggers actually receive training here which results in grocery bags not over-​stuffed, chemicals bagged separately from food, and frozen items tucked in together, etc.

I like this grocery store. I come here to do couponing. They have a lot of stuff on clearance and it’s not picked over! Check out the clearance! It’s in the back by the meats. Last week I got 2 bottles of booze for 5 dollars each! And 3 bottles of All laundry soap for 4 dollars with my coupons. This store is clean and never crowded. I like that the selection is ample and not ran through. I come here at least once a week.

I just come here to buy my bus pass but let me tell you, the manager Rod… he is great! Definitely can see why he is manager. I come here with my grandma & she can sometimes be a bit rude (her heart is in the right place, she just doesn’t realize) but Rod is still always there, ready to lend a helping hand, with a huge smile on his face! I very much appreciate his service & the way he handles customers who might not be that awesome. He is always helpful, & friendly in a genuine way. You can really feel that he is a motivated & hard worker just by the way he speaks to you. My grandma & I enjoy seeing him & have even begun to call him by him name. Also if I might add, my grandma is one tough customer. She doesn’t favor people very often!

Another neighborhood Albertson’s that is a convenient place to shop, especially after I leave the local gym.
I drop by for sale items and water. Outside of that, there really isn’t anything too special about this place other than I am a fan of the bakery/​deli area as it seems to be a little better than the location closer to home.
This store is always clean and the staff is always friendly. Easily navigated aisles tend to make it a breeze to chop at and it is easy to get in and out. The parking lot is never packed when I shop here so I never have to keep driving around looking for a place to park. Their self-​checkout is always open and at the times I drop by, they never seem to be backed up.
I’ll continue to shop here because it has a few things I need and it’s convenient.

This review comes after a horrible experience I had at this location with a sad excuse for a man named Rod. I frequent this location for my job, the employees at the bank inside the store are awesome and always very helpful. I wish I could say the same for Rod who accused me of stealing and tried to keep the items I brought back to return, saying that he thought I stole them. Management stood around and listened to him treat me like a scum bag piece of shit and never stepped in. After contacting corporate and still not having the problem resolved, Unilocal is my last resort. If I didn’t have to come here for work, I would never return to this location. It makes me sick every time I have to see Rod and know that nothing was done about the way he treats hard working professionals trying to make a simple return for their business.

This happens to be a convenient location for me to stop by regularly. Albertsons in general has more affordable groceries. This location is well kept and organized and spotless. The bakery is decent. The deli is where I frequent the most.
I’ve has the most helpful encounters with genuine recommendations samples offered and quick efficient service AND I’ve dealt with the slow poor communication and frantic careless service. Keep in mind I’m not referring to their Monday night chicken special… just mid week occasions. The experience varies greatly on the staff helping. The product is always fresh and delish it’s the help received (or lack thereof) that determines if you’re leaving with a smile or rolling your eyes…
Check outs never a prob. Most of us all know how to self check out at this point right lol?
They have a coin star, red box and a recycle center so perks for that! 3 stars for now until I get routine consistency from deli. Again, the main reason why I’m there…

This location is convenient for me and nicer than other locations I have been to.
Since my husband and I frequent here, all of the employees are super friendly to us and joke with us weekly.
I don’t have any complaints about this store. For someone who is a little strict about their diet, they have everything I am looking for including Walden Farms products. Let me tell you, the maple syrup and chocolate syrup tastes EXACTLY like what they should taste like and if you add them to your plain oatmeal in the morning your mind will be blown. The bacon ranch mayo is okay on plain tuna and on ground turkey with taco seasoning. If you’re a peanut butter addict like me, whatever you do, DO NOT GET THE PEANUT SPREAD!!! You’ll be wasting your money because it simply just taste like shit!!! I have been to Albertson’s locations that do not have Walden Farms so here ya go!
(Don’t send me compliments about how these products are chemicals and bad for me. I see all of your check ins at McDonalds and Donut shops, my friends.)
Parking is pretty good here. The restrooms are clean here. The employees don’t kick out my husband and I for being inappropriate and obnoxious. The girl scouts are outside the doors annually to sell delicious cookies.
5 stars from me!

This is a really nice store. I fell in love with their premade chicken salad sandwich when I came the other day. Joyce is a sweetie pie. The butcher guy Al is also very friendly and helpful!
