I did loose my composure and use some choice words that I should not have used. I apologize for that Kai. This morning I went to the store to talk to the manager and explained to her what happen and she said the csr was following policy. I said so policy is to call the cops before the manager? I asked Kai to call the manager several times and he refused, is that policy?So I am asking when can my wife buy me a beer? Is it a waiting period before she can purchase a beer? Will she never be allowed to be me a beer at that store...because the intent is to give it to me every time. I would like an answer to that.

The door to enter the store is a pull door, and once you enter it is very air conditioned inside, a huge difference from the 91 degrees it is outside today (09-11-2021). It is well lit inside and they have a great selection of snacks and cold drinks, along with a restroom. Finally, they have a car wash if you want. Experience: I will now go to this gas station over the one next door and the one across the street. This one is way better! It's all on flat ground so it's easier to access, they have a restroom, the store is air conditioned inside, car wash, and there was a young male employee with dark hair working today who was super nice!

This Albertsons has recently been remodeled yet again, probably to encourage business since the…read moreVons on E Valley has closed. That makes this the closest Albertsons/Vons to me now. A good addition is the sushi section, because not many locations have that. They often do $5 Friday sushi offers, but obviously only at locations that carry it. The front of the store is rearranged slightly, but a lot of the aisles are similar. Across the sides and back haven't changed much, so the front is changed the most. The self checkout lanes are now in the more common feeder style, as opposed to back to back style like before. They also rearranged the parking lot slightly, including adding a couple of the strange straight-in handicap spots that you see at some of the Walmarts.

I usually buy meat and seafood at Major Market across town, but was in a hurry so on 6/10/26 at…read morearound 4:30 PM I stopped at this nearby Albertson's. It's a fine store, especially after the remodel. I needed Italian sausage and was at the meat counter looking at options. A woman called out from the back asking if I need anything, so I told her and asked if the only Italian sausage they have is the mild one in the display case. She said they have more in packages around the corner and there are two brands, Cantellas and Johnsonville. I asked which is better quality and she said in a snotty tone "I don't know, I don't eat sausage". The fact that I was asking for her professional opinion and not personal preferences was lost on her. I'm never buying anything from that meat/seafood counter again. I tried several times to report this via the Albertson's website, but their contact form was not working. Anyway, I went around to the packaged options and bought some Johnsonville mild Italian sausage. Damn if it wasn't the absolute worst chewy tasteless sausage I've ever had. Literally threw it away.

Then added "Is there anything else I can do for you?" I replied "No" and she waved and wished me a good day as she went back to work. That's why I love this store! Kudos to Elsa!

The parking lot does not have enough spaces to accomodate all of the businesss and there are only a few ways to get in and out. People do not pay attention when driving here, so be vigilant. They do have a large selection of products and there are several specialty rows with several houseware items. They have a few fresh food options, sushi bar, salad bar, etc. and a Starbucks inside. It always seems to be overcrowded due to all of the housing in the area and the UCSM campus. Ralphs is way better than their competitors in my opinion, too bad the one in Vista/Oceanside closed.

What is supposed to be a time saver turns into an ordeal because you start getting never-ending texts about everything that they don't have in stock and they wanna substitute this or that and this isn't available and all of this nonsense so in the end my bill came out to just under $100 which made it full price and because they couldn't just handle it over the phone and just give me my $20, I actually ended up just returning the whole order so now they get to put it all away and that's what bad customer service gets you.
