The Tortilla, fresh deli & alcohol is about the only thing worth going in there for now. The store use to be packed with 4 or 5 cashiers now there is one same rude guy every time. Very disappointed in how the store is now. I shopped there for nearly 40 years. Not my main choice anymor.

Ever since…read morethe new system has been switched over, we've only experienced terrible customer service, terrible quality of produce/products, and overall negative atmosphere. As there aren't many grocery stores in Carlsbad, the options are limited and we would normally choose Albertsons for convenience and quality products. Not the case anymore. Their points system has been overhauled and made more difficult to receive customer service for points specifically. The management bullies and belittles some of the checkout staff that are merely trying to work, not a good example to set in Carlsbad.

One couple with 2 carts and little kids walking 1 mph spanned the whole aisle so nobody could get through. All the pass thrus had stock carts blocking them. Why the store can't do all the stocking at night when there are much fewer shoppers I don't understand. Every time I've been there it's a claustrophobic nightmare. And trying to see prices on ground beef? No prices, just scan tags. WTF!? And I won't even get started on finding someone to help. This store has most of what I need, so I go there. But the stress level is climbing and I might be going somewhere else from now on.

This is legitimately amazing Mexican food. The chips they give you while you wait for your food are so good and the salsa is solid as well. I had the carne asada burrito and it was easily the best one I've ever had. The best tortilla I've ever eaten, incredibly flavorful steak, and onions and cilantro if you want it--that's it. This is a seriously amazing spot, and if you're looking for Mexican food well worth the stop.

I have visited this store several times and have always enjoyed browsing their selection. While it…read morecan be uncomfortable to feel watched as you shop, I simply continue with my visit and ask for assistance if needed. The store offers excellent products and is kept very clean. On one occasion, I mentioned that the entrance had an unpleasant odor like body odor it hits you in the face when you open the door the next time, I did come in the smell was not there. Today, I called the store to schedule a Hydrotherapy appointment. I spoke with a gentleman who informed me that Amy's available slots for these appointments are at 1:00-2:00 PM or 2:30 PM. I explained that these times wouldn't work for me and asked if there were other options. He mentioned that Amy might be flexible with her schedule. I then checked my calendar to see if I could accommodate one of the regular times, as he also mentioned there were available slots in August. He then asked what time would work for me, and I replied with 5 PM. He immediately responded, "Blah, I don't think Amy will do that," cutting me off before I could finish. I was about to suggest 5 PM this week or 12:30 PM next Monday if that was possible, but I never got the chance. So, I said, "Um, okay, never mind." He responded, "No, Jessica, what is it? Well, what is it?" I told him I would find another place for the treatment. He said something I couldn't hear, and I ended the call by telling him his response was rude before hanging up. I already felt uncomfortable discussing this appointment with a man, and his rudeness made it even worse. Hydrotherapy involves being partially exposed, with only a blanket covering you, so it's crucial for me to feel comfortable with the staff and the environment. This comfort is essential for a positive experience. I will no longer shop here!

Then the one who was verbally assaulted said (again in a polite manner) do you realize how dangerous it is to leave an infant in a car? The "parent" of the year then proceeded to say excuse me its been 3 minutes. At that point lady a says it dont matter if its 1 minute or 1 hour... leaving babies in cars alone is dangerous. It kills babies, cars get stolen with kids inside. And its illegal.... Then the cashier who is clearly a genius comes from behind the counter saying nonits fine she comes in here all the time and leaves the baby in the car. Serious? That makes it better? No that makes her a repeat offender. At that point the cashier started yelling at and belittling the concerned customer and screaming right into the customers sons ear.... i dont know any of these people but props to the woman who stood up for the baby and shame on ms perfect mom and the rocket scientist cashier. Lucky i had things to do or i woulda blocked her in til cops arrived. Both need to get what they deserve and rot in you know where. Nm CYFD AT ITS FINEST, do BETTER AGAINST SO CALLED "PARENTS" PUTTING THEIR CHILDREN IN DANGER! Side note when i walked outside i confirmed the baby was no older than 8 months in her car windows up screaming as loud as he could.
