    Parking is usually a pain due to the high traffic but it is worth it to pick up a few items while on base.

Always look forward to buying a deli sandwich during my lunch break but just for them to take my order takes them at least 10 minutes! Mind you, I only get a 30 minute lunch break. And the prepping time takes them 15 minutes! That's already 25 minutes wasted of my lunch just waiting for my sandwich. Today I order a Turkey Wrap. Took them 5 whole minutes for them to take my order and a whole 10 minutes to make my wrap. There was no line for sandwiches except an order of two sandwiches but all I saw were the workers chitchatting amongst each other instead of prepping (hence doing their job). Got my wrap and paid which took less than 2 minutes. While eating my wrap I noticed that my wrap didn't even have turkey in it. Headed over to the deli to see if they could make me a new one but immediately turned around because their workers were just chitchatting with each other and there was already a long line of people waiting on their order. Just went to the cashier to ask for my refund. Didn't even take a picture because I was already so disappointed and frustrated that I just wanted my money back. I really do hope that the deli service gets better.

I was pretty…read moresurprised at the size and how well it seems to be managed given his clean and well-organized it was when I visited. Prices did seem a bit inflated but you're in a Ralph's downtown in San Diego so it was expected. Bathrooms require a code with a purchase from the store which was also to be expected. Employees there are definitely rude and sarcastic which brought down the experience of going there. They do have a patio but there are a good amount of homeless people around there so not sure if eating your lunch there is the best idea.

    We were walking back to our car after an event when we passed by this Ralph's on G Street. We were…read morestill several blocks from the car, and I needed a restroom. I entered the store and found my way to the back were the bathrooms are only to find that I needed a code to unlock the door. I suppose that is a necessary evil given the homeless problem in and around the store. For folks like me who just need to pee, it was a real hassle. I scouted around the store for a couple of minutes looking for an employee who might provide me with the code. After not having any luck, I said "F*ck it" and left. I just held it until we arrived at the building where the car was parked and used the facilities there. The store, did however, look like a pretty good Ralph's if you live or were staying nearby.

Produce was beautifully displayed for one to pick their best. So many items in the store were unknown to myself. Would love to learn how to prep them! Associates were super helpful when I wasn't sure where to seek an item seeing as I lack being trilingual-working on that! Greatful for the assistance! The candied yam (or sweet potato) was at the register for temptation- yes I caved in and got it! Its now a favorite! Associates at checkout were kind and attentive! We will be back!

    This place looks and feels so clean and organized, but the pan dulce is disgusting!!…read moreI went in there a few days ago and bought pan dulce that tasted rancio! Did they use motor oil or just haven't cleaned out the baking oil? I don't know but even though the pan looked good the same rancio sabor was on all the bread we bought! We live in Coronado so obviously we weren't taking it back so it all got thrown away. We also bought 8 avocados and 5 of them were black inside. They didn't feel soft like we had to hurry up and eat them but they were more hard firm like they still needed to sit out but my husband want to eat guacamole so I opened 1 thinking it would be still firm and green inside but it was firm and black. So we lost several dollars and learned our lesson! I'll stick to La Vallarta where I know their pan dulce is freshly made with fresh products daily and I've yet to get hard black avocados from them, I just pay a bit more for better product. I'd goto food 4 less before trying this place again!

They have some touristy items in the back in a nook near the stairway to the customer bathrooms upstairs. Don't worry, plenty of signs to tell you bathrooms are for customers only, I have no idea where anyone uses the restroom here if they don't live here bc no one has bathrooms you can use. Anyway.... they have the usual items and have a pharmacy inside so if you are in need of something during a trip you'll be able to come in here and find something. I was able to find the chapstick and snacks I came in to get.

    This morning at 7:30 I came to the Walgreens to get some items and both doors were closed. This…read morestore opens at 7, so I was confused as to why the lights were on inside but the doors were not opening. I made eye contact with one of the store associates at the register and instead of acknowledging me, he looked back down. I knocked on the door and he just shook his head at me, indicating he wouldn't be opening the doors. I took a picture of the hours on the window and that prompted him to come outside. He informed me they had had a power outage and were attempting to get the registers back up and working. Understandable. I said thanks and walked back to my car, only to watch more customers do exactly what I had just done and stand by the doors that didn't open. What does it take to write on a piece of paper that the store is currently closed due to a power outage and put it up on the doors? Lights are on, employees are in there staring at you through closed doors.... This place is mismanaged and the employees are SO lazy. I've been in the store many times waiting in a line to check out where one employee is at a register and the other employees are hanging around. Keep in mind they have 4 registers. It might be time to start thinking about implementing self check outs. This store is always very stocked and has a lot of options which makes it a good choice, but I would avoid it if I could. I drove across the street after this to Vons and got what I needed.
