Raley's is undoubtedly my top-choice grocery store in Merced. Not only is the quality very…read moreconsistent and top-notch, the prices are also very fair. The meat selection is great and cheap, and the produce here is always fresh. The deli here is awesome! You can build your own sandwich with a wide variety of ingredients or select from their menu of sandwiches. I also really enjoy their fried chicken and found that it is extremely affordable and still of quality when compared to places like Popeyes, KFC, or El Pollo Loco. The sushi here is also of decent quality and way more affordable than Sushi Cuisine next door. They have the widest and cheapest selection of alcohol, and not all of it is locked up like at SaveMart or FoodMaxx. I like my liquor so it's very convenient that I can just go grab it without having to wait for an attendant to grab a key and help me out. I live pretty close by and honestly have a small fridge at home. What this means is that I go grocery shopping a lot and will only do small hauls at a time. I love the convenience of Raley's self-checkout, and regardless, the cashier lines here move pretty fast. The staff here are pleasant. I see them almost every other day and my interactions are always pretty decent if I'm not just doing self-checkout and going in-n-out. Don't forget to download the Raley's app and become a Something Extra member! Some of these member deals are SUCH a steal and you may have to login to the app first to CLIP your coupon to get the deals. Raley's also has discount Mondays, where they'll feature discounts on various items each week.

Unfortunately this was one of my worst experiences at this store. I went in and talked to James…read morewho is always very nice and professional. I let him know I had a return and asked if I return it first? He said if I was doing shopping just hold it until I go through the line. I asked if that was the same if I went through self checkout. He said yes. So I went shopping and was very disappointed that they were out of items of the 3 day sale and no rain checks were being given since it's a three day sale. To be out early on the second day on two items was very disappointing that the company would not make sure they gave stock to support their customers needs. Than to top it off when I went up front to pay for my groceries the young lady up front who was doing self checkout gave me a disgusted look when I told her I had a return. I told her the manager James had instructed me to do it this way. I asked her if she needed my receipt and she ignored me so that I spoke loudly and asked her again. She asked me why I was yelling. I told her I wasn't yelling I was just speaking louder so she could hear me and answer the question. I asked if she wanted to call James and ask him if the directions he gave me were wrong. She gave me a refund but never apologized or smiled or did anything to resemble good customer service. She was a young brown haired young lady and this happened at 545pm at terminal 8 if you want to research store #309. 5/16/26

I got wine on sale at a decent price. My husband was looking for a beer and walked around and…read morecouldn't find one. He found a soda, eventually. This place was just sad. It reminds me of my local Lucky store, which carries a foreboding that I didn't see coming. This place had the same energy. But finding a single beer, which is something you can do here, eluded us. The soda was fine, but it took such a long time to find. Maybe it's a Merced thing, or maybe it's an issue in this tiny pocket. The Dickie's BBQ had the same issue. Low standards, low energy, not caring so much. I say that because the Smart and Final near me is a bit more perkier and energetic and doesn't leave the sense of foreboding that this store has.

In addition to this, my son's shop for me and yesterday they were accused of stealing from them. Needless to say the new employees. and management are extremely rude to their customers. Unfortunately, this market that use to be a friendly place has turned into a racist, rude, overpriced worst place to shop for anything. DO NOT SHOP AT THIS STORE. I am telling everyone to boycott this business. If I could give them a negative rating it would be a Negative 10.

Lately I would go in only for one to two items due to the fact I can't hear myself think over the noise the carts make. A few weeks ago I was at the deli and they had no deli meat. It was explained to me the meat was in the store, but no one could find out where it was. (I went to Raleys and they had the deli I was after at a cheaper cost, fluke) also the shopping carts are far from user friendly. I see a mood change in all the departments. The entire vibe is off. It's like a best friend marring that person you know is toxic. I do hope this nothing more than a temporary situation.
