Virtually everything is overpriced, their digital coupons are a time consuming gimmick, their produce such as oranges, melons, grapes are often bitter and never ripen to be sweet. And now they put detergents ans health items behind glass, employees often do not show up to unlock them. I go because it's convenient. I'm always trying to go somewhere else.

This is a grocery store but kind of pricey. But you're fine everything that you were looking for in a grocery store. Is a deli department and bakery department and butchery.

I hate how their receipts are designed to make it impossible to tell if you got the discount you were expecting. Outright fraudulent. But it's not this location's fault, blame corporate.

What does annoy me tho is you can call an order into the deli but they don't start making it until you show up. What's the point of taking phone orders if that's your policy?

So, I've been going here 40 yrs or so. I loved this store..its close and convenient . But now its Albertsons and now all we deal with lately during the day are long lines...and at night we deal with stock being all in front of what we want to pick out and purchase...there must be an osha or other regulation saying the aisles cannot have this much stuff in them until customers leave!! It's crazy that at 1030pm @ night stock was piled everywhere over my head even. And 2 days ago the check out lines were super long, so I went through the new self serve line where I waited for seniors who were having fun trying to use the new computers. But this gets better. We you leave Vons the carts will lock at the front tire if an item purchased hasn't been demagnetized by the checkout system. That means your cart just locks up making it block the exit, alarms and lights blaring... a cashier came to me and explained the self service registers didnt have the demagnetizer working, rendering my cart useless. Alarms blaring. So I took all my stuff out, and carried it to my vehicle. Between the horrible check out and the exit, This took about 25 minutes. On top of that they completely changed the location of everything and stopped carrying many gluten free items. This is difficult for me and my daughter as we both are allergic to flour. Luckily Sprouts is only a few blocks further, and has increased their gluten free products to around 45 percent of the store. Way to go Sprouts! Boo on Albertsons..workers have also been more strict with Albertsons compliance with coupons as well. So please dont embarrass yourselves when a worker denies giving you that deal you got when it was VONS. Its Albertsons now, and those days of having happy help that go the extra mile, may be over...although it seems to have settled down a bit there now. Look guys I'll always go to Vons and I love some of the old Vons staffers... but that store lately is just really very frustrating...Albertsons in general actually.

COVID19 FOLLOW UP!! I bought on accident the wrong package of Kcups. They were 29.99 plus tax. Upon realization i brought it back to the store right away. The store refused to take the return back even with the receipt. This was the same sealed package that i walked out with 30 minutes before. Not only that, i was told to come see a manager, and ive now been there donning a mask and gloves 3 times. Theyve refused based on a new corporate Covid19 policy of no returns at VONS/Albertsons. I called corporate and the agreed. So they told me to hold on to it until they take returns again. Can you imagine? A food store making you hold onto to something you purchased until THEY decide for you when theyll take it back? Funny thing is i bought an open ice cream a few days before and i brought it back. After validating there were no seals on all the DREYERS vanilla. They told me to throw it in their trash and gave me a 6 dollar gift card, without ever collecting my inventory. You have sold me bad salmon straight from the meat dept, and black oscar meyer packaged chicken. The entire OM chicken packages were black that day. RUDE every time to the customers. And Very arbitrary on their decisions. And they were rude about it in each case. ALBERTSONS, VONS Covid does NOT give you a reason or excuse to be rude to your customer. And even thou you are open YOU CONSISTENTLY SUCK AS A CORPORATION! You can do better by your patrons...you must do better. THE RESULT IS THAT VONS/ALBERTSONSS IS IN VIOLATION OF THEIR CREDIT CARD AGREEMENTS WITH YOUR BANKS (IE MASTERCARD AMEX) AND WHEN I CALLED MY CC COMPANY THEY GAVE ME AN IMMEDIATE CREDIT AND TOLD ME TO KEEP THE PRODUCT

Pretty standard grocery experience and don't love that now they lock up toiletries so we shop for those elsewhere, BUT I want to give a shoutout specifically to the bakery at this location.

Every time we visit we stop to look at the fun cake designs. With our combined bachelor/ette party this weekend, we wanted to bring a cake to share with our friends. All the premade choices were fall and halloween, so we decided to lean into it. When we told the woman at the counter what it was for, she offered to add on some ghosts and a heart. It was such a nice gesture and our friends raved about how cute the cake was and how good it was too. I'd definitely recommend stopping here if you need a cake. Their decorating is great and we've never had a bad cake from them.

Always seems to have low stock and never enough registers open. It's the closest Vons and I'm always avoiding it unless I'm in a hurry....then it still probably makes me make another stop elsewhere.
