This one star review is only for my experience on Fri Nov 18, 2022, with employee named Paul, short guy with short dark brown hair .
I found four 1.6 lb bags of shelled pistachios on the clearance rack for $9 a bag. I know the cheapest pistachios where you pay for the shells cost $5.99 on sale at Sprouts, usual sale price is $6.99. Costco's shelled pistachios are $18.99 for 1.5 oz. This clearance label does not say like the other clearance labels say, what the "WAS" price was. Employee was adding a cartful of clearance bakery items to the rack, so I asked her what the regular price was of the bag of pistachios marked down to $9.00. She said to take it to the cashier up front and they will tell me.
When I asked Paul, who was at the self serve cash registers to help me find out what the original price was, he put up a wall of an unwilling attitude and said it could not be done. When I told him that his co worker stocking the clearance rack told me the cashier's would be able to tell me, he said that his cash registers in the self serve were "too sensitive" and he did not want to subject them to my request.
When Paul saw me starting to peel back the clearance sticker from the original barcode, he said what I was doing was "illegal".
I got in a female cashier's line. She peeled back the rest of the Clearance sticker, that I had started, and scanned the original barcode. It said $19.95 was the original price. Wow, I told her. I am going back to get the other two bags I left on the Clearance shelf, cos not knowing what the regular price was, I only brought two of the 4 bags to the cashier just to find out how much the discount was.
When I told my cashier to charge me for 4 bags, Paul told the cashier in front of me and the customer behind me "make sure you write this down, because she may return the next day, after I peeled off the Clearance label, in order to return the 4 bags and get $100 refund at regular price.". I was shocked.
I thought Paul's conduct was so unprofessional that I am going to tell the store manager what Paul said and give this Ralphs a 1 star review about my experiences v--- - with Paul. His whole demeanor from the time I asked if he could to me the original price, will last in my memory everytime I come to this Ralphs.
I see this Ralphs has more 1 star negative reviews than any other star rating. read more
