For example, they had a big bag of pizza rolls for $1.99 AND they were on sale with a BOGO (buy one get one free) price! Lots of good deals like that. I shared photos of a few items I have purchased at Grocery Outlet. The most recent being the loaded chicken pot pie nuggets. They were very salty. But quite tasty overall. I wish they came with a dipping sauce. Something similar to the chicken pot pie roux. The crust on the outside of the nugget was good too. I cut mine in half, to let the steam out. They cook for about 15 minutes in the air fryer.

I am writing to detail my shopping experience at Grocery Outlet Market located at Oakdale Road in…read moreModesto, California on July 17, 2026. During my visit, an in-store employee engaged in conduct that is considered to be racially-motivated discrimination and harassment against me. This violation of my civil rights occurred in the personal care items section. After I entered the store and headed left to walk towards the personal items section, a female store clerk was working in the immediate area. We greeted each other then I walked and turned right to the personal item aisle to pick up soap. Right afterwards, the clerk came over to me and - without provocation and out of the context of any standard retail customer service - began to discuss the consumption of alligator meat from Louisiana. During the conversation, the clerk deliberately made unsettling comments about the origin of the alligator, how she wondered what alligators taste like, that some people said it tastes like chicken, and stated that her husband had bought a skinned alligator and that they were going to consume it with friends. I told her that I have never eaten any alligators so I would not know what they taste like. She took out her cellphone and showed me a picture of the alligator that - according to her - was skinned except for its claws. I eventually told her to let me know what it's like and the conversation ended. I selected a pack of soap, left the area and went elsewhere to pick up a few more items to buy. Given my identity as a Black female customer wearing an African-inspired scarf, these comments regarding a skinned animal from a Southern state, unprovoked and directed at me, served as an implicit and highly offensive reference to a deeply disturbing and racist historical trope from American history. Historically, the term "alligator bait" and horrific imagery of using Black children as bait were utilized against African Americans. While the clerk did not explicitly state the historical phrase "alligator bait," the confluence of her unprompted comments about the origins of the alligator, Louisiana, and the specific context of her knowing that I am a Black woman wearing an African-inspired scarf, constituted an egregious act of racial microaggression, implicit racial hatred, and the fostering of a highly offensive, hostile environment. In American history, the phrase "alligator bait" has been used as a derogatory racial slur and historically references abhorrent and insidious acts where Black babies were used to bait alligators. By intentionally singling me out as a Black customer wearing African-inspired attire to discuss this topic, the clerk engaged in targeted racial harassment. The juxtaposition of these topics directly targeted and weaponized deeply painful, historical racial trauma against me as a Black customer. During the exchange, I kept very calm, maintained an oblivious demeanor for my own safety and comfort and navigated the conversation to defuse the situation, however, the employee's actions greatly angered and offended me, making me feel targeted and unwelcomed based on my race. Any business must provide an environment free from discrimination and racial hostility. Unsolicited, racially charged remarks constitutes a hostile public accommodation. It is illegal for a business to discriminate against a customer because of race, gender, disability, religion, citizenship, or other personal characteristics. The clerk's behavior legally constituted a public accommodation violation based on race and racial harassment. By using or evoking historic racially derogatory imagery - like the insidious legacy of alligator bait - directed at (me) a Black customer, the employee created a hostile environment that denied me equal access and enjoyment of a business. Although the store clerk did not explicitly mention "alligator bait," the historical event of "alligator baiting" invokes a horrific historical image towards me for targeted race-based microaggression and form of intimidation. The combination of my African-inspired scarf and the clerk's unprovoked pivot to alligator meat and Louisiana history strongly implied her racially targeted microaggression. Although no one else present in the personal care lane when this occurred, there are surveillance cameras all over Grocery Outlet. I documented the entire incident, notified Grocery Outlet via Certified Mail of what happened and mentioned that the video footage would demonstrate the employee's actions on July 17th. Before July 17, I patronized Grocery Outlet for many years. I - like everyone else - have the right to patronize a place of business free from discrimination plus harassment. I post this review to make other customers and would-be customers aware of my recent experience.

You just have to have patience and be kind to people while waiting in line. Several people on here claimed they waited in line for 45mins and the employees were rude....Lol....I only waited for 10 - 15 minutes each time. Time flies fast when you are talking with people next to you. The employees were very helpful and nice. One of the cashiers gave me a free small ceramic Christmas tree set because the tip was broken. I guarantee the people who are complaining are liberals and don't like Hobby Lobby because they are Conservative and Trump supporters....,Lol

I used to love this store. Being a teacher, I thought I could get some great deals at Hobby Lobby…read moretoday. I did. However, the customer service I received from Carina, the cashier, was so herrendous that I will not be returning. The 1st incident... I stood next to my mom with my shopping cart as we were discussing other items I needed to purchase from another nearby store. Right before I could finish my sentence, Carina LOUDLY said, "Ma'am, we only have one line so please get behind her." I mentioned we were together and she ignored me. 2nd incident... While I was shopping, I found a toy in the clearance section that I wanted to buy for my Special Education class that would have been a GREAT non-edible reinforcer. When I told her I got it from the clearance section, but it didn't have a tag... Right away her response was, "Well another customer put it there." I responded with, "Well there were about 3 or 4 of the same toy in the clearance section. So, if it isn't clearance I don't want it." She told me she'd check. She called someone and hung up and said, "Like I said it isn't clearance and someone put it there." I let her know again, "Then I don't want it." As she finished ringing me up, I asked, "Do you have a teachers discount?". Very rudely, she said you need a teachers card. So, as I reached for my ID badge and said, "Like my ID?" She rudely said, "No, a teacher debit card." I explained to her that wasn't a thing and the majority of school district uses PO's. She completely rubbed me the wrong way from when I first got in line until I left. Tried to see if I could contact Hobby Lobby, but they only take phone calls or you can physically write a letter. Maybe you should have a survey on your receipt, so Ya'll know how your employees are treating customers. The people stocking the store were much more helpful and cheerful than she was. Maybe Carina should be pulled for a bit, if she can't show GREAT customer service.

The cashiers have to go on the floor and verify and then I'm not giving you the sale price even though it says it they says in the wrong spot the cash register is not ringing up the right stuff. It's a madhouse in here and it's crazy and it's not fun. The store is cluttered stuff is on the floor stuff is not where it supposed to be. They should have hiring now for seasonal so they can have people stacking up on the baskets outside and keeping the area clean in the store at all times now the question is do I go to Walmart and deal with them or come back here and deal with this all Big lots stores have closed around except for this one so I came here to support, but the staff is not helping!
