    I saw a post on Instagram about how good the sandwiches are at Oates' Country Store and that it has been in Vacaville for 44 years so I figured we'd to give it a try and support a long standing local business. It was a little bit of a drive out off of 505. We pulled up and I felt like I went back in time. The Old West to be exact :-) When we went in the guy at the counter greeted us and we told him we were there for a sandwich. It's such a cute store and they have a little bit of everything which is reallly convenient for those living out in English Hills. They even have a 2-pump gas station and dvd rentals! The sandwich choices are simple as they only have rye or sourdough slice or roll and only ham, pastrami, roast beef, turkey or salami. You can also have it hot or cold and have 5 cheese choices. The prIce was decent and we got out to the car and dug in. The bread was fresh and flavorful, there was a generous portion of meat which is good quality, lean and tasty and the dressing, lettuce, pickles, onion and tomatoes all fresh. The sandwiches were really good and if we were ever driving down 505 we would definitely stop in for a quick bite. A+ for customer service and food. I just wish they weren't so far out as it was a really good sandwich.

    Should be called No Banos Country Store

    I love old country stores, but when your kids got to pee and this place and the saloon are the only game in town, a country store without an outhouse is a sad thing! They've got a well stocked hard liqour section, a sandwich deli and an old white lady manning the counter. All that is missing is the shot gun to deal with the miscreants from the Wild Wrangler Saloon next door!

    DON'T ORDER ON LINE UNLESS IT'S PREPACKAGED DRY GOOD. We've…read moreshopped Raley's for years back to when it was "The" grocery story in Sacramento over 50 years ago when my parents shopped there. A locally owned, dependable, friendly place to shop. We've shopped the Alamo store on and off for the 40 plus's years we've lived in town. The store is clean, employees are friendly, helpful and the prices very competitive. We've been ordering delivery lately due to our age and current health. Those days are over, done and I'd advise you to do the same. We ordered $205.60 worth of groceries. I ordered them Saturday night for delivery between 8-9 am Sunday morning. The order was delivered about 7:55 am so points for great delivery time. Now comes the problem. The package of fluid dripping raw chicken in the bottom of grocery bag without a plastic bag on it so the liquid almost leaked through the bag. In addition to the chicken several other meat items were thrown in, 2 pounds of ground beef Harris Ranch Prime and Wagyo ground beef along with a package of sausage mixed with the raw chicken juice from the leaking thin sliced chicken breast package. The bananas were old, soft and covered with black bruises like they'd come from a discard bin. Those went straight into our compost bin. Tomatoes that were bruised and split, also now composting. All of the vegetables, iceberg lettuce, loose corn on the cob, tomatoes, green onions and an open bag of Dark Cherries were thrown into a bag without any produce bags on them. The rest of the order, bread, yogurt and frozen fruit for smoothies were fine. The unfortunate part of the transaction was the absolute refusal of anyone to take any responsibility for the condition of the items received. When my very nice wife called the store to ask about the condition of the order we got this immediate response, "Oh, that's not us. That's DoorDash not us. You need to call DoorDash". Imagine my shock and I'll admit, some anger. The employee my wife spoke to was very nice as he politely dismissed our concerns and he was very polite. The anger came because, stupid me, I thought I was ordering from Raley's. Raley's, with their history, great quality control and dependable service we'd had for years. As we discovered, we were actually dealing with some random DoorDash subcontractor driver who picks and bags the order while all Raley's dose is collect the money and when you try to talk about any issues, throws back to DoorDash. The response from DoorDash was, "we'll let the driver know." So the chicken will be cooked well done today and our dogs will enjoy it. We've washed the contaminated packaging on the other meat item, hopefully well enough. The bananas and tomatoes are happily composting. We're done with online grocery orders and Raley's. That's a shame that I almost feel guilty about but in this economy, I'm not gambling with our grocery budget. I think the worst part is I tipped the driver at checkout. I actually tipped through Raley's so I could have this eye opening experience. In the end it was probably the most educational I've ever done. It's also a good reminder that you never know who you are really doing business with online. Stupid me for thinking using the Raley's app was Raley's when it's actually some random DoorDash subcontractor with apparently no concern from either one.

I had three packages of meat and four or five produce items. There was hardly anyone in the store and NO ONE in the self check out area. I did not notice the 15 item sign on the kiosk I chose. The machine did not like that I had my own bags and kept stopping for an attendant. The lady who came over stated I was having trouble because I had chose the 15 item register. There was still NO ONE in the self check area. The machine kept saying "item not recognized" when I tried using the scan code on the fruit items. She then came over again and said their machines rely on weight and that I HAD to put in the four digit code and then get the item on the scale before the thing said not recognized again. I said that's ridiculous, they should hire me if I have to ring in the codes. She said that's why she SHOPS AT WALMART! For real, that's what she said. I then tried to put in the four digit code for the two apples I had and the machine took the weight right away, before i could set both down. It said $2.03 so I assumed that was for two and I put them in my bag. Again, the stupid screen said something is wrong. She cleared it and rang up for me-$4.06 for two apples!!! She did not offer to help in any way except to show me how to "properly use their machines". I've shopped at Lucky's previously and not had this problem. She really seemed annoyed that I WAS causing all this work for her. I also noticed that Lucky's prices seem way more than my last few shopping trips to Walmart and Winco. Hate for that big store to go empty, but their prices, customer service and stupid machines just sent me elsewhere.

User error yes but when staff arrived I got the feeling they weren't interested. Upon ringing my first item I realized that item wasn't correct for my coupon. So I asked the female manager who was standing around if there was someone who could go get the right item for me since all my other items were on the belt already. She said no. So I had to leave it. I miss the days when staff cared and went the extra mile for customers.
