I was looking for a pocket sized hand sanitizer and the cashier grabbed one for me and showed me the different options he had.

I was so grateful for that especially during these crazy times - it showed that he really cared. Come here for your late night snack or if you need a mask!!!

Before heading to Pasadena yesterday, my car gas gauge was at 2 bars. I said I'll just get gas…read moreafter my workout. Sure enough... my gas gauge was blinking upon leaving my workout location LOL. I had to quickly find a gas station. Well, the nearest gas station was at least 5 minutes from where I was at. It was between Chevron or Shell. Guess who won? You got it... Shell! Funny, as I was driving to Shell, I saw Chevron, but it was on the other side of the street that I was driving on so I said I'll just stick with Shell. Great corner location on Del Mar Blvd and Arroyo Parkway. Clean exterior. Prices were several cents cheaper than Chevron... yay! They also have a food mart, but I didn't go in. I prefer to pay at the pump unless I really need to go inside. If they run out of paper, I just make myself a note on gas cost and be on my way and not bother going inside to get receipt. Anyway, thanks Shell for being present when I needed you most!

My experience today with the pharmacy technician, Gaby, was completely unacceptable and upsetting…read more I was under the impression I could pick up both of my prescriptions, but instead of handling the situation professionally, Gaby exhibited a deeply disrespectful demeanor. She forced me to repeat myself multiple times and essentially made me yell out the specific medication I needed in a public space, which felt like a massive violation of my privacy. Even after I went and sat down to speak directly with the original pharmacist to sort out the issue, Gaby continued trying to shout things or talk over to me across the room. The pharmacist's excellent customer service AFTER HER was completely overshadowed by Gaby's unprofessionalism and total lack of discretion. I hope management addresses her behavior. Thank you again to the lady after, and I apologize for my part in the matter.

It's the…read moreother clerks by the cash register and around the store that act as if you'd entered into their house, uninvited, and started asking them about where the bowls are, so you can help yourself to some of their food, haha, yeah, they're THAT lackadaisical and disinterested. Even my constant polite phrases along the lines of "thank you so much" was met with coldness and indifference. I get it, customer service isn't where you wanna be in life, but if you do such a simple job in such a poor fashion, who would be dumb enough to entrust you with something more complex or involved? Anyways, mid service, but for the most part, the store is well stocked, and the people at the pharmacy have slightly better social skills, so not that bad.

Dear Pasadena Public Health Department Environmental Health Division,…read more I am writing to formally report a serious health code violation and unsanitary conditions observed at Ralphs Grocery Store, located at 160 N. Lake Ave., Pasadena, CA 91101. Incident Details * Date of Observation: Monday, July 27, 2026 * Time of Observation: Approximately 3:00 PM * Location Inside Store: Self-serve bagel and bread display cabinet Description of the Violation The self-serve bagel and bread display case was teeming with flies. Numerous insects were actively flying inside the cabinet and crawling directly all over the uncovered food products. I have captured clear video evidence documenting this infestation, which is available upon request for your investigation. Public Health Risks and Concerns This environment poses an immediate and severe health risk to consumers for several critical reasons: * Pathogen Transmission: Flies carry over 100 dangerous pathogens. They easily transfer hazardous bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Shigella from external waste directly onto the food surfaces. * Direct Contamination: Because flies liquefy solid food, they regurgitate digestive enzymes and defecate on the bakery items. This leaves live bacteria and viruses behind. * Ready-to-Eat Hazards: These items are sold as ready-to-eat foods. Consumers eat them without cooking or heating them first, meaning there is no kill-step to destroy the transferred pathogens. This creates a high probability of foodborne illness. * Prolonged Exposure: The enclosed nature of the display cabinet traps the flies inside, leading to a high concentration of continuous contamination on the food. This active infestation indicates a critical failure in store sanitation, inadequate pest control management, and a clear violation of California retail food safety codes. Please initiate a health inspection of this facility as soon as possible to address this hazard and protect the public. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Shopping for groceries in this environment feels unsanitary and unsafe, especially when selecting food items that I'll be taking home to eat. Homeless people demanding I buy them things and getting mad when I decline makes shopping extremely uncomfortable. It's disappointing that management doesn't address this issue more effectively to maintain a clean and hygienic space for paying customers. I won't be returning.

I just wish it wasn't inside the Target store as the hours are quite limited vs the stand alone CVS's.

It's the Pharmacy team that keeps me coming back. Thank you all and keep up the good work!
