I know this job is sadly all she likely has in the world, but still incredibly unprofessional for how she treated a small issue that could've been reconciled with a simple "my bad" and an apology on my end, instead of a passive aggressive scolding.

Much better prices and availability elsewhere.

They seem to enjoy chatting with each other, even when they are very busy

While I was only visiting in the area and needed to go to a grocery store, I was delighted to learn…read morethat Ralphs was a part of the Kroger chain similar to my hometown Fry's Food and Drug Stores. Recognizing the need for a quick set of groceries, I stopped by this Ralphs with my wife a few days ago. It is a good store with most items in stock. The layout of the store wasn't too different than my regular Fry's stores. It was also well-labeled at the top of each aisle, so I was able to find what I was looking for rather quickly. I was looking for a few specific items from bottled water to sunscreen (summer essentials) and a few snacks. From end-caps to the regular aisles, everything I was looking for was in stock, and I was able to easily check out at a self-checkout station on the way out. I had to remind myself that there was a surcharge for bags (paper not plastic) which was fine as I was able to carry the items to my car. May wife and I did roam the Ralph's website before we went inside to see what was on sale. Ironically, any digital coupons added for Fry's were automatically also added for Ralph's, which saved me the hassle of doing so again. There were a lot of digital coupons available for already low prices. If you go to their website (https://www.ralphs.com), you can find digital coupons, the weekly ad, holiday promotions, 4X gift card promotions, meal planning and recipes, a store locator, and Boost membership information (along with other information). Boost is a special membership that includes double fuel points, unlimited free delivery, streaming options (free Disney+ bundle with ads), and member exclusive offers all for $99 per year. If you're already paying for the Disney+ bundle with ads, you may be able to pay a bit less and get Boost for free. While there are many grocery stores around the country, the Kroger stores including Ralph's are special, and I certainly recommend it to others!

I had a very disappointing experience at this Ralphs, specifically with a cashier named Jason…read more What made the interaction especially frustrating was that I watched him be extremely friendly, talkative, and joking around with the male customer ahead of me in line. However, when it was my turn, his demeanor completely changed. He barely spoke a word to me, avoided basic customer-service interactions, and seemed annoyed by my presence from the start. At one point, I apologized for having several packs of hot dog buns, and he simply ignored me. The only thing he said to me during the entire transaction was asking for my ID for alcohol. He didn't greet me, didn't ask if I wanted bags, didn't thank me, and generally acted as though he couldn't be bothered to acknowledge me at all. He silently scanned my items and then stared at me when it was time to pay. What made the contrast even more noticeable was that before I had even finished checking out, he had already started joking and chatting with the man behind me in line, just as he had with the customer before me. The difference in how he treated me compared to the men around me was impossible to ignore and came across as incredibly rude and, frankly, sexist. The bright spot of this experience was Jilly, who was helping bag groceries. She was kind, friendly, and genuinely pleasant. Her professionalism and warmth were the only reason this visit wasn't a complete negative. Customer service should be consistent for everyone. Unfortunately, Jason made me feel unwelcome and dismissed, while Jilly demonstrated exactly how customers should be treated.

Super good energy. I highly recommend her. There's some other great workers too and it's a great experience going there. They have a new coffee bar and a smoothie bar sometimes takes a little bit of time to get unfortunately but other than that it's everything's great.

Prices are about average for the area, That being said it can be very hard to pull out of when it's traffic time. The convenience store has snacks, drinks, and other basics, and the staff inside has always been friendly. That said, there can be some sketchy vibes outside at times, people hanging around the lot makes it feel a little off, especially later in the evening. Just something to be aware of if you're stopping here.

My husband visited this location yesterday. When he arrived, he said that only one tote color was available, so he picked one up and continued shopping. Later, he noticed that additional colors had been stocked, so he grabbed three more, staying within the four‑bag limit. At checkout, the cashier assumed my husband had already purchased a bag earlier. When my husband explained that he had not yet paid for the one bag he had initially picked up, the cashier insisted he did and that allowing him to purchase another bag would not be fair because some people buy additional bags to resell. He really felt being stereotyped. We are not resellers, he was simply purchasing the permitted quantity for a family celebration. But come to think of it, there is nothing wrong with people reselling the totes, as they purchased them legally and did not steal them.

Good ol' BevMo. This liquor store chain was once my favorite when I lived in Southern California,…read morebut I've found that there's a different one that's a little bigger and better that rhymes with Motile Spine (OK, a slant rhyme). This BevMo has some great things, even if the store itself is a little small. I found a wine with Tupac and Snoop Dogg on it! I also found a couple of great bourbons that I could not find where I live in the Midwest, and so I also bought a couple of bottle protectors, because I would be taking them home with me on my flight home. It really helps, price-wise, if you have a BevMo membership, which is free to sign up. I used to have one, but mine lapsed since leaving SoCal. So the prices I paid for my things were about average. The "Mo" in BevMo means they have more than just liquor, beer and wine. They also have snacky things, candy, barware, and even a few nonalcoholic drinks. But mostly, you will find aisles of great adult beverages. This is a fun place to wander and see what catches your eye.
