    Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2021 The Quarantine Chronicles January 9, 2021 Recommended: Yes. Dear Yelp Fam, My little family decided to head down to Monterey today and check out Cannery Row. We miss going to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Parking was easy and there were not many people out. We arrived early and spotted the 5 and Dime. I've been here before as a kid with my parents and brother. My husband, son and I stopped by. There is one entrance and one exit. There were two employees that greeted us from afar. We were just browsing. My son picked up a few items: one shark puppet one shark missile ball one gun with darts one jumbo bag of toy soldiers one shark magnet for our fridge I picked up a California Bear jute bag The 5 and Dime is awesome as you will find endless souvenirs and toys. What was impressive was their sundries aisle with medicine (headache pills, allergy medicine like Benadryl, etc.) they also had a decent selection of snacks and candies. The only issue was there were certain parts of the shop where items were dusty. It's a huge store and for the most part super organized and cleaned. During this pandemic they have sanitizers for their customers. They require mask wearing and social distancing. The prices seem fair and on par with Amazon. Amazing selection of small gift items and good customer service. Hugs, Noelle Noelle's Notes They have the a huge selection of souvenirs They have an excellent selection of OTC meds They have an excellent selection of candies & snacks

    Lots of great stuff but the awful music cranked up made me have to leave after two minutes. Do you really think your customers want to hear this stuff???

    This is a decent little store. If you're in need of snacks, drinks, toiletries, or souvenirs, you'll find a good selection here. We came here for water and to check out the souvenirs. We found a lot of unique mugs, magnets, postcards, toiletry items, apparel, hats, and other accessories. I can't say the service was great here, but we did find almost everything we needed. If you're staying at one of the hotels in Cannery Row and need some items quickly, this Five & Dime is a good find!

    $13 wasted

    Bought a shark tooth necklace for my son and it was broken. Brought it back the next day and they wouldn't let me exchange for the same product. I had the receipt.

    This is only one of two CVS's in the area that made it to the 2.3-2.5 range and was not marked down…read morefor serious customer service issues. (Like fast food that typically sits around 2.0-3.0 stars, CVS usually has a 2-3 star rating and 1-2.2 means it's pretty bad don't go there and 2.3-3 means it's typical. Anything 3+ means it's an exceptional store and few in fast food or pharmacies have such a high score.) We have been going to this CVS for years when visiting this area. Never really had a problem buying waters, sodas, and basic medical supplies or snacks here. Primarily we just purchased convenience items, but this last time we got a prescription refilled. Would have to say that the people at the pharmacy registers did seem less competent than at CVS stores back home. The lady who helped us was ok. She did have to go fetch our prescription as it was not in the bin even though the app said it was ready. We did not have to wait long and this sometimes happens back home. The man at the register next to us seemed far less competent. Per Gemini AI, use the app, have your doc phone in a refill rather than having CVS contact your doctor for a refill, and do not bother calling CVS or waiting for a text, just check the app and/or go into the store and ask to wait for your prescription if your doc already called it nor you had refills left. We used this general procedure and got a refill next day and did not spend a lot of time at the store or have to argue with register people. Their lot is pretty big for the area. Never had trouble getting parking. Just beware that you cannot turn left on Lighthouse, so plan to turn left or right and circle back through the side streets to be able to make a right turn into the lot off of Lighthouse or from the side entrance on Prescott. Would definitely come back here for convenience items and would get prescriptions refilled here again using my own doc and the CVS app rather than relying on CVS to get it done--just go to pick up.

I understand that many people use Yelp as a vehicle to vent or complain, but it'd be nice to get reviews for the things that they do right. I decided to walk off a big Friday night meal by walking here to help a friend find a particular shampoo brand. I found it and decided to browse the refrigerated drink section to get something for my room. It is only two blocks above Cannery Row if you're staying in the area and a good sized parking lot if you're driving in. As I considered using the self checkout my machine, a kind lady behind the counter offered to check me out and did help me. Thank you, Martha, for making me feel welcome. Our discussion sheds light about the community, both safety wise and friendliness.

A man cashier kept talking away with someone else whether that was the owner or not he was speaking with I was waiting during his conversation and yes I interrupted him and stated "could you please check me out" when I noticed there was also someone else behind me waiting after that. This horrific cashier much older who should know better claimed that he wouldn't service me because I was "rushing" him and "clearly" I had to be somewhere and he responded with "I'm going to be here until midnight" as if that's my fault he chooses to not check out a simple protein bar. This was simple all he had to do was ring me up check me out, check out the person behind me and the continue with his non work related conversation. Because he proceeded to lie and at random claim that he refuses to service me because I "interrupted his conversation" (actually admitting he was just chatting away) of course I made a call and as I was stepping outside he still had the audacity to follow me outside the store minutes after the door was closed behind he proceed to instigate me while I was on the phone with dispatchers because no I have actually shopped at this store prior no problem. Hence a cashier who proceeds to follow you once you left out the store is clearly a danger in addition to claiming you're the supposed issue clearly is lying and honestly providing the worst customer service. From an individual who has actually dealt with customers being racist and demanding--me asking him to please ring me up should not have been an issue at all. I shouldn't even have to request a cashier do his actually job. Mind he's complaining about being there till midnight? Some of us get up as early as four am grind go to school take care of our families and go to sleep after midnight no complaints. For an older man "cashier" to be upset at his job just tells me he should consider quitting and not projecting his nonsense. This happened at 19:15 hours I really do hope corp fired him because he is not a safe cashier ladies please do not go there!

    I really wish this Safeway would reconsider how they handle checkout in the early mornings. I…read moresometimes shop here around 6:00-6:30 a.m. before work, and it's frustrating how quickly a long line can form with only one cashier open while self-checkout is still closed. What makes it worse is that even when the line is clearly getting backed up, it can take 10-15 minutes before another employee is called up to help. At that point, several customers are already standing around waiting. A lot of people are working much earlier schedules these days, and you can tell many of the customers shopping at that hour are grabbing breakfast, lunch, drinks, or other things on their way to work. People shopping that early are usually trying to get in and out quickly. If there are enough customers consistently shopping at that hour to create a line, Safeway should either have additional cashiers scheduled so 2-3 lanes can be opened when needed, or simply allow self-checkout to open as early as 6 a.m. It would make such a big difference for early-morning customers.

For the most part, going to most any restaurant was a waste of time and money. A better choice was to let them shop and choose at Safeway and then bring it all back to the Hotel. Our choices weren't all that nutritious over all, but it did reduce the drama and later cries of "I'm Starving"! My most pleasant surprise here was that my old California land line number was still linked to the Safeway Loyalty program. Past that, the combination of an unfamiliar store, and so many choices made this Safeway trip a fairly lengthy one. And later back at the Hotel, all was well.
