Albertsons

You know it was coming Albertson’s bakery. There’s No denying the fact that the cake we ordered and the cake you said was ready for pick up were from opposite planets. The truth is it looked like a kindergartener tried to ice the details of the wedding cake. It wasn’t centered and the edges were mounded and extremely rough. The only saving grace was the desperate need to fix this cake after the pickup time. Even the manager could not stand behind this work. It would have been better if you had refunded our money, but you didnt. Even though you called someone in to re-​ice and center the cake it was already over, the Man had already popped the question and there was no cake until hours after our celebration had begun. I cannot ever buy another cake from you.

I’ve purchased premade guacamole and prepackaged fruits that were both days past their expiration date. I now check every time, and have noticed too much of their products seem to be expired. I’ve let the cashier know when checking out once and they really didn’t seem to care or put any urgency into it. Please be careful shopping here! Would hate to see someone get sick on expired food!

I shop her only because of location. The staff is typically slow and unfriendly. The deli does not have the cleanest habits and do not change gloves after touching phone, door, exterior meat case etc…
Be careful, it’s not uncommon for items on the shelf to be expired.

Albertson’s prices are high. This isn’t a place you want to do all your grocery shopping. That said, they do have some very good sales. You have to watch and see if it’s worth the time to stop. I use to live by this one and would frequent it for last minute items I needed. Now, I stop for sale items that are priced well and because I’m in the area.
The store has clean, wide aisles, and a fair selection. I’ve always like their deli salads. They have one of the best selections of salads and even have seasonal foods available around the holidays.

I only come here because it’s close to my house other than that there’s no other reason to come here. The selection is small and the prices are high and a little outrageous it’s like a bigger convenience store. I don’t know how they stay in business with other stores around that have a better selection of products and cheaper prices. I guess they do, people still shop here.

Cakes and flowers! They never disappoint! Been getting my sons cakes here since he was 3. They will do any theme I want. They taste delicious! Oh and the new boneless wings are great too. Just got a pretty Bouquet of flowers tonight for my niece!

I have been coming here for three years mainly because of John and Daniel. they help me get all of the discounts and have actually help me fill my card as they were closing. This place is great very clean and very friendly I recommend coming here.

I am a fan of this location of Albertsons
Albertsons seems to be the only place i can find Arm & Hammer woman’s deodorant.
I like the unscented kind, but they didn’t have that one this time, as you can see in the pic i took. Super nice, friendly, helpful employees, always happy to help.

I really don’t know why I continue coming to this store. Every time I either leave with expired food or a item that rang up wrong. I am currently at the customer service desk getting another price adjustment since it rang up incorrectly. What a waste of time. I am washing my hands of this place.

This needs to start with being clear that I have been shopping at this particular Albertson’s location for about 8 years. It is cleaner than any of the other local supermarkets, not fancy, but then again it’s in a relatively low income neighborhood where you wouldn’t expect to find an upscale supermarket.
I’ve seen a lot of staff come and go, including a manager who should not have been a manager. This is probably the most expensive grocery store in North Phoenix, in some cases so much so that their high prices almost seem to be pushing the button to see how far they can go (example, one particular product I bought in one local store for $ 15 I saw down the street in Albertson’s an hour later for $ 29). To be fair, as is true throughout the grocery business, you can also find some items discounted to surprisingly low levels.
So, overall that doesn’t make it a bad store to shop at. When the bare-​bones discounter from the Northwest moved in a few miles away I started doing my weekly shopping there and have estimated that I get about $ 200 worth of groceries (compared to Albertsons) for each $ 100 I spend. But I have to shop carefully at that store … most of their produce is wilted and rotting, their perishables are more often than not at or past their pull date, and you get what you expect in terms of customer service — in other words none. But saving 50% on the things I do buy there makes it worth driving several miles further than Albertsons.
I do shop at Albertsons several times a week for things like ground beef, chicken, dairy products and fruits/​vegetables, all of which I would never buy at the Northwestern warehouse store. Over the years they have had some outstanding employees. Most of them have lasted a few weeks to a few months. And they have had some of the worst I’ve ever seen in any store. It is apparent that the worst of them are bored, hate their jobs and operate with zero supervision. The butcher department, which used to be easily the friendliest place in the store when the young man was the primary clerk has turned into a place I dread going, I’m not sure I want to be around an angry butcher with a knife (j/​k).
The adjacent packaged deli department is hovered over by a woman who seems to move quickly but never seems to be doing anything other than avoiding any eye contact or 3′ zone customer care. I saw one employee in that department violently push a stocking cart away and it hit an elderly customer. She didn’t go get the cart nor did she apologize or ask of the customer was okay. And another young man in the meat department likes to pretend he is playing bumper cars with his restocking cart, pushing his way without any form of courtesy in front of customers making them have to jump out of his way.
In fact that’s the summary … a few of the employees are rude, a few of them simply lack customer service skills, but the majority of them are oblivious to customers’ very existence as they push by them or cut them off as if they weren’t even there. The store needs a major infusion of courtesy and the manager needs to put the word out «be nice or get out».

I always go here for our meat. You can’t beat the quality & price! It’s also the only place we can find ranch market seasoning.

I only shop here for little stuff when I run out of it at home. But I like it here the meat is so good and is some of the beat prices around here. You won’t find buy 1 get 2 free at wal-​mart. Overall I like it here

I agree with the vast review assessments below. The workers are very nice and really cant do anything about corporate not investing in updates to the physical location. All the vacuums, buffing machines and Clorox wipes in the world can’t fix the dirty in this place. It just needs a remodel overhaul. If you must go here, buy only pre-​packaged essentials and meat from the fresh deli section (excluding the chicken — don’t buy any of the chicken in this place).
Oh, last but not least, short of carrying Jenni-​O brand ground turkey there is NOTHING organic or organic-​like in the entire place. Bummer. Gotta go to F & E or Sprouts (and occasionally Target has some decent chemical free foods).

This is by far the grocery store I try to never go to. However, since its down the street, its an easy place to get a missing ingredient in a pinch.
The store itself is very worn down and just has a feeling of dirty. It’s in desperate need of a remodel.
I’ve seen bugs, yes bugs, in the onion barrel a few times, which made me vow to never by produce here. Huge gross factor.
Also, huge creep factor, don’t go here after sundown! This is when all the tweaked out folks come out from their hidey holes and bum money from people. It’s really quite scary.
The only reason I have two stars is because of the convenience when absolutely needed and the Starbucks. Yea, thats about it.

I only come here in the most dire of circumstances. This location is dirty and outdated. The checkout people are slow. Even when my husband goes out for groceries I tell him not to go to Albertson’s, but to Fry’s instead.

This Albertson’s is decent to shop at but I prefer the one at Desert Ridge as that one is larger and feels nicer. It’s small but conviently located on my way home from work. I’ll give them one thing though. I bought a couple rib-​eye steaks from this location and they turned out to be very good. It’s small but

Bought some pre-​cut cantaloupe in the refrigerated fruits section.
When I came home and tasted them, they were very SOUR.
They were spoiled :[ Disappointed.

This a good, cheap place to shop that is convienent for people in nearby apartments. The parking here is great and it’s not hard to find sutff here. The selection may not be as big as some other grocery stores, but it’s sufficient enough to get what you need. It’s a relatively clean facility, I’m guessing about 10 years old maybe. What I really like about this store is that you don’t need the stupid club card to get the discount, you just get it. You will see some interesting people here. Maybe not like the people of Wal-​Mart, but remember, the Candy Store is right across the street.
