    a notice from the u s

    Today I experienced a complete denial of service from this establishment because I am a service dog handler. The proprietor stopped me as soon as I entered the facility and insisted we leave because dogs are not welcome. My service animal is clearly vested, is task trained to mitigate an invisible disability, and meets all ADA requirements for public assess. I attempted to address with the proprietor that, under ADA law, service dogs are exempt from no pet policies, but continued to be denied service. I took my business elsewhere and have filed reports with both the Department of Justice and the City of Escondido in hopes that these discriminatory practices will not affect other service dog teams, and will continue to take my service elsewhere. For other teams who are looking for a safe and welcoming place to shop, the 7-11 a block away on E Valley Parkway was much more accommodating.

    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.
