It's a small town so prices are pretty high here, I only get specific items here like dog food and…read morealcohol. Last time I was here though, I had an absolutely horrible experience that made me never want to go back. I don't remember what the cashier's name was but he was youngish (not as young as most of the baggers) skinny, had a beard and possibly blue eyes. I assume he's new because I have never been treated with so much disrespect from the cashier's here and hadn't seen him before. I came into the check out line with my friend who had a SEPARATE order (I had alcohol in my order) was preparing to take out my credit card and ID when the guy tells me he will needs both me AND my friend's ID in order to sell to me. Which is absolutely ridiculous and I have never been asked this before by cashier's here. My friend's product was just a burrito from the deli so she obviously didn't bring her ID for that. I confirmed that it didn't matter to him that all the items were for me and that I would be paying for them separately from her. Had to drive her back to her house to get her ID, came back and they had thrown away her burrito (after being gone for maybe 10 minutes max) even though they had promised to set it aside till we got back. This man tried to tell me it was so called long standing policy which is complete bs, if I had known his name I would have called and just straight up reported him to management. Put a giant bummer on my night for absolutely no reason, plus it's stupid how you gonna ask me to provide an ID for the person behind me in line? Yea we were talking but she literally could've been a complete stranger, so this guy wouldn't have sold me my products just cause I was talking to someone behind me??? Like what if she was actually a stranger, he's gonna expect me to ask her to get her ID just so I a complete stranger can buy my groceries? Make it make sense and train your workers better, even the baggers (who bring me my pick up orders regularly) knew this guy was in the wrong. And going so far as to throwing out my friend's burrito after not being gone for long at all (she literally lives three blocks from the store) then trying to offer to make another in 15 minutes while the store is closing? It shows me this guy didn't expect me to come back and was simply just trying to get rid of me and my friend, like I thought you guys wanted to sell this stuff? Seriously guys you can do better. Two stars are only for the products, and the one bagger who has always been kind and respectful when I pick up my orders, do better with your staff. I won't be coming back unless it's for a pick up order when every other place in town is out of what I want. Horrible

Luckily for him, he wasn't wearing a name tag. He gave me the dirtiest, nastiest look up and down and continued stocking. No greeting, didn't offer to help me find anything, and not even a smile. I'm assuming they have him in the back because he is definitely lacking in the customer service part of the job. What a shame. He ruined my shopping experience.

Usually it's a great experience besides when one certain girl is working. She's extremely rude…read moreeverytime I go in there, to the point I never want to go there anymore. She does not wear a name tag neither. I'd say she's in her 20s, she wears glasses, dark curly hair, an a sum freckles.

I had 1 incident when the owner was there that made me uncomfortable however. Was told I could not have my bag in the store.... I am not homeless, have spent much dollars here, and regardless, that should not be an issue. Other than that, the cook is very disrespectful, and to be honest, is not a good cook. His attitude is horrible, will have a phone conversation while you are trying to give your order, and don't dare complain about the food because his ego will snap and he will refuse service. It's happened to me. However, can't let 1 bad apple ruin the bunch. The cashiers make the place welcoming and I seriously go there for the danishes, occasionally chicken strips (which are overpriced but very tasty), Gatorade, and soda. Do I recommend, yes. Do I prefer? Yes, at night when the cook isn't there. Mind you, the lady cook is great. Dude cook, not great.

Atmosphere is laid back. I have been going to these guys for years, before this store even. They are and always will be my guys for any vaping, and smoking needs and their soda machine is limited, but always tastes great! Also have novelties, snacks, drinks, and ice cream. 1 stop shop!

But where I have to slightly complain is the fuel prices. They can say in Bakersfield you have the market to compete but in Taft you don't is wrong. The places in Taft gouge and this has to stop. Taft is fueled by hard working oilfield families and when we have to go to work and get diesel, we end up paying $1 more in Taft vs Bakersfield. What ever happen to helping out to the unfortunate and the hard working class. Looks like the owner like the government likes to pocket their books with more green instead of having some integrity. If I am wrong please forgive me. I just wished we weren't paying so much around Taft.
