We've shopped at this Bel Air a few times in the mornings and have had problems with items that are…read moreadvertised to be on sale but aren't when scanned at the register. The meat and deli sections of the store seem to have the most problems with mispricing. This morning we bought two different cheeses that were advertised as being on sale but weren't on sale in their system after scanning the items at the register. The store employee manning the self service checkout machine seemed annoyed at having to correct the prices of the items and he had difficulty making the corrections at the register. Service in this store is lacking. There usually isn't an open check stand with a checker in the mornings. You'll have to use the self checkout registers which are tightly crammed together which makes it difficult to check out if you have a shopping cart and there are other shoppers at the other registers. The self checkout area is poorly designed! This Bel Air seems to restock the shelves in the mornings instead of at night when the store is closed. If you shop in the mornings you'll have to dodge food pallets and stocking staff while shopping. The store is fairly clean inside but the parking lot is filthy littered with garbage and debris. A nightly parking lot sweep might help?

I wanted to share something that happened during my recent visit to your store and recognize one of…read moreyour employees, K. Ervita, for her kindness. I had almost run out of shower soap and did not want to wait one or two days for an Amazon delivery. I was also looking for a better option than the liquid soap I normally use, something more natural and free of unnecessary chemicals. I first went to Target on Fulton Avenue and spent about 15 to 20 minutes looking, but I could not find what I wanted. Then I remembered that I had purchased an oatmeal soap at Trader Joe's before, so I drove a few more minutes to your store. I had just come from the gym, so honestly, I was stinky and in desperate need of taking a shower with a good soap. The bar of soap was the only item I grabbed. When I came to the cashier, I realized that I had forgotten my wallet. I tried to use the electronic payment app on my phone, but my card was locked. I had locked it for security reasons, and the app had changed the way to reopen it. I struggled with it for a few seconds. Without a second thought, K. Ervita pulled out her phone and paid for my soap. I told her, "Oh, please, you don't have to," but she said it was okay. I was embarrassed and grateful at the same time. I was so surprised that I even forgot to ask her name, but thankfully, I found it on the receipt. We are all going through different struggles. She did not know my situation. I could have been going through a truly difficult time and not had enough money to pay for that soap. Still, this kind lady simply saw someone who needed help and paid for it. I could return to the store and give her the $5.00 she paid for me, but I feel that might defeat the purpose of her random act of kindness. Instead, I plan to intentionally look for someone else I can bless and continue what she started. I also want to thank you for helping create the kind of work family where an employee would do something like this. Her act made my day and convinced me to become a more loyal Trader Joe's customer. No amount of marketing or advertising can accomplish what one sincere act of kindness can do. When a company encourages employees to treat customers with empathy and care, people remember it. Please thank K. Ervita for me and let her know that her kindness will continue to echo in our community. Thank you for having your store in our community and for having employees like her.

I buy all my groceries here. I found some toiletries and household items as well. I even found some asian food items to my surprise. They have many cashiers and self check out and if you don't go on a holiday or a weekend, it's usually pretty fast. The store is very big and has many different options. They also take EBT card, which is very nice. The store opens 24 hours and it's so close to my house which is another bonus. They usually have good deals on some meat selections. They only take debit card. No credit card. I have no complaints about the store so far.

I have been wanting to update my long overdue review for years now. But after the passing of my…read morefiancée, who was a consistent shopper at Grocery Outlet, and once an enthusiastic Yelp member, I kind of put my own Yelping on the back burner. But I still continue our loyal shopping endeavors, now on my own. I find myself more dependent on this local Grocery Outlet even more than ever! They carry so many items that vary from day to day. This is not a place that I can count on carrying my favorite products to return to when I run out. Often times I buy something I really like, and then it is no longer in stock. As their interior banner says: "stock up now, because once it's gone, it's gone!" However, on the bright side, I can almost always depend on certain staples that they make a point of being consistently available. Such as fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products, snacks, baked goods, drinks, and even wine. Including self care products, supplements, cleaning supplies, household & gardening stuff, pet products, and even toys. I also find lots of frozen, canned, and prepackaged foods that are easy for me to heat and eat. I lack the enthusiasm or the energy to cook for myself. After all, my late fiancée loved to cook and was good at it. I guess I took advantage of that... But I still enjoy wandering up and down the aisles, usually finding new food items that look appetizing enough to try. It's not that often where I have been disappointed in making a purchase. Grocery Outlet has an app that you can download on your cell phone and once you register, they will (if you choose), email you their specials and daily bargains. During check out, enter your phone number at the register, and they keep track of what you have saved after your shopping experience. They even enter you into their "Free Grocery Shopping for Life" drawings. I like to believe that I have saved money here compared to shopping at other grocery stores, which is often the case! I'm not saying that everything in stock is that cheap though! Just like browsing a flea market, you'll never know what goodies you may discover! I also appreciate that this Grocery Outlet is conveniently located near my home, they are open at 7:00 am daily, (so I can avoid the crowds), and they are also open 7 days a week until 9:00 pm!! I will continue to be a loyal fan!

Instead of attempting to de-escalate the situation or communicate respectfully, multiple employees antagonized me, laughed at me, and refused to provide basic assistance when I asked for the store number and contact information.

The hot foods is the best you can get for the price. They have several catering options as well. Must order prior and pay prior to day of for pick up. The lady at the hot foods place is super nice! Be forewarned, if you're rude, she'll be rude right back (I witnessed it myself, though fortunately was not on the receiving end). They have quite a variety of produce, frozen items, drinks, alcohol, meat, etc as well. The ice cream section is pretty stacked! Lots of the trending ice cream and popsicles. My pick for hot foods is the Roasted Pig (they sell a whole one by preordering or they also have smaller options to buy just for lunch), Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings, and Salt & Pepper Shrimp. The fried rice needs a bit of soy sauce, but it's pretty decent on its own. I would not choose the Spare Ribs. It's a little dry in my opinion. The eggrolls was crispy, but lacked flavor. The chow mein is edible. Not bad, but nothing to brag about. Again, add soy sauce. What I really like about this place is that everything is not too salty like most other Chinese spots I've been to. I like that you can add soy sauce to enhance the flavor, but it's not already on there so I can enjoy it as well as my children and parents (who prefer more bland food). This was not our first time here and will not be our last.
