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!

I was running on empty after a long day of driving to and fro from different parts of the bay…read more This Sprouts was probably not the most robust you'll find. It did not have a self checkout and the selection was minimal (only one type of small trash bag and low candy selection) however the service was friendly and helpful and we were in and out quickly. Sprouts as a company is great for pantry items but tends to be only a last or local option for me, as their produce is not very fresh and their selection is smaller than either a Safeway or Whole Foods. If Trader Joes is known for their freezer section then Sprouts is where you come for dry goods. But that being said, I don't often use dry goods, so we were only able to pick up a couple items on our list at Sprouts before having to head to Target so we could call it a day.

The title of sprouts includes the words "farmers market." It is not. It is a grocery store. I…read morerecently bought some produce a the items were terrible. The pears I bought went over the hill in two days. I checked on where they came from administration ; they came from Oregon not Vacaville. Just like any other grocery store. Many produce items sat on the shelves even though they were over ripe brown and disgusting. The staff person I spoke to was very nice. She explained that it was a grocery store, not quite at the level of a Whole Foods. .

The first was a tall, thin, female near the check stand who was speaking with other staff. When she saw me approaching she smiled broadly and directed me to a cashier. I really appreciated that since I had just left a (different) store where staff ignored patrons so thank you! My cashier much shorter with gray hair was super nice, friendly, and had a great sense of humor! Can't recall the last time checkout was so pleasant. Lol. Found most of what I needed and their prices can't be beat! I'll be back for sure.

The first time, an employee had the nerve to accuse me of stealing a TWO DOLLAR item -- something I had already PAID for. I literally had to show her the receipt to prove it, and when she realized she was wrong, she just stood there QUIET. No apology, no "my mistake," nothing. Just attitude after falsely accusing a paying customer. Absolutely ridiculous. And today? I'm here with my autistic daughter, who's crying and overwhelmed -- and the employee is LAUGHING. Another one is just standing there staring at us like we're a sideshow. Who TF laughs at a struggling toddler? Who does that? It's disgusting and it shows exactly what kind of people they hire here. I'm an honest person. I work hard for my money, I don't steal, and I sure as hell don't deserve to be treated like this -- and neither does my child. This place needs a complete reset: New staff, new training, new everything. Because the way customers are treated here is nasty, unprofessional, and honestly embarrassing for a business. I will NEVER be back. And I hope management wakes up, because this is the kind of behavior that drives customers away permanently.

Since I was in the area, I decided to stop by this Lucky's to do some grocery shopping before…read moreheading home. Arriving in the middle of the day on a Thursday, the inside of the store was virtually dead with minimal customers. This worked out well for me since I was able to grab what I needed and checkout without much wait. The shelves and grocery sections were well stocked, and all the fruits and veggies were pretty fresh. The parking lot of this complex is pretty large, so parking is also not an issue. I did have to use the restroom before leaving, which required waiting for an employee to walk to the back of the store to open the door for me. It was a code lock so not sure the reason for the huge secrecy when they could have just verbally provided the code instead.

Well, I have tried to use Lucky as my neighborhood grocery store, however since the Manager passed…read moreaway it has gone downhill fast. The employees that were nice, except like one, are gone. The employees seem not to be happy to be there. And when I do speak to staff--I never know if I am gonna barely polite or really no real customer-first response. It was so just not okay today. The carts are locking up before one is able to even get to their vehicle to unload. And the carts are not seeming to be maintained as they once were. Items are out of date and marked incorrectly with their prices. And even sale items are mismarked; so that just wastes ones time when a trip to the neighborhood market needs to be quick and at least a little friendly. No one seems to recognize anyone anymore. We are just no-faces customers it seems. Sad really. And ever since the pharmacy was suddenly done away with... well who wants to go here with the current manner of customer service, not me. :/

I also stopped by the customer service to cash in a few winning lottery tickets (unfortunately only $61 worth). There was a line of people at the customer service desk and only 1 employee working. It took about 10-15 minutes of waiting around before I was served. No other employee in the store came by to help out. The Walmart Neighborhood Market on Elmira Rd usually has 2 people staffed at the Customer Service desk to keep traffic flowing. This store like all the other Walmarts and Sam's Club have undergone the signage and lighter blue/white color scheme to make seem brighter in the store and better navigation of the aisles. I rated them 4 stars (rounded from 3.5 stars) since I didn't really experience anything majorly negative here. Every aisle and the produce section seems to be well stocked and clean.

They've added a lot of self checkout registers, and it appears they've let go of a lot of their staff. Not good. There aren't enough staff to help customers. There isn't anyone bagging and I believe only 1 register was staffed (with multiple customers lined up). While scanning my items I had to request assistance. 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.
