Convenient and easy to find items I need. I've been coming here from day 1 when they opened the place. Much better than the tiny store they previously had on Alondra many moons ago. Anyway, employees are friendly and mostly a young crowd, which is good for a change. I guess Covid has brought many changes to this store as well as many other grocery stores. Beware, if you don't have a face mask, don't even think of walking inside. The security guards are pretty strict about you wearing one and will turn you away. So, as a responsible adult do your part and don't expect to be allowed to shop without a face mask. Keep in mind that Lines can sometimes be long and a bit frustrating; However, it is a wholesale store and it will not have all the items other groceries stores may carry. Happy Shopping! read more

Very rude cashier. We were up next in line with 4 items in our basket, and she proceeds to tell us she can't take us next but she can take 4 people (1 in front and 3 behind us) because they have 1 items (they actually had at least 2 a piece) so that's over 8 items. We felt very discriminated against and I express that to my mom, why if we're next she can't check us out, she then proceeded to interject herself to say "because I'm off and they only have a few items" I said well you about to do 4 transactions with at least 8 items, when you could've taken us and been done.. if your off, then go home girl???I don't appreciate her trying to escalate the situation by trying to argue with me, not a good look for the store. read more

this place has a serious staff management problem. how do you guys only have 1 register open for 30 people waiting in line? all these employees in the store and only 1 knows how to man the register? you see the employees just talking and ignoring customers. they shoot you a dirty look when a customer interrupts their conversation to do their job. what is this place? read more

Check your receipts every time you come here‼‼‼. Second visit and same scenario. Price tag did not reflect price being rung up. This time got an excuse that the worker that changes the prices did not show up to work!!! read more

No one at this Smart n Final wants to help customers. Tried looking for someone who works there in the aisles and around the store but couldn't find a single person working. So I asked a cashier who just blew me off and told me to ask someone else. So I left and now I'm heading to the Whittier location where I'm hoping to find some better customer service. read more

I go here a couple times a month to pick up an item or two. I appreciate the staff, who are friendly and helpful. Always a parking spot available too. The prices are a little high, but I think it's because it's more specialty than a typical grocery store. The lines can be long at a times too, but if you need water, frozen items, good cuts of meat, and produce, they'll have a good selection. You pay a little more for the convenience, but not so quick to get in and out. I'll keep stopping by because it's close and the staff are cool read more

I am always impressed with the service I get from your store in Bellflower. I am writing this review, however, because of the outstanding way Joel treats me as his customer. Today, again, he helped me then asked me if there is anything else he could do to help or advise me. He is truly a dedicated employee. I just had to take the time to thank him and your organization. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Olivia Y. Prieto, a truly satisfied customer Five Star read more

I visit the Smart & Final near my house pretty often, and I'm always greeted by an amazing cashier named Stephanie. She's such a hard worker, but what really stands out is how much she seems to enjoy what she does. Stephanie is a true people person, and every interaction with her leaves me feeling refreshed. She's a great example of excellent customer service! read more

My problem wasn't going into this store in Bellflower, CA, or anyother Smart & Final store near me. My issue is when I ordered my groceries online or I should say, "behind the scenes of my order either at the store or delivery". When you order something thru Smart & Final, you have to pick a store near you. I picked store #311, 15930 Bellflower Blvd, Bellflower, CA 90706 My order was somewhat complete. There was a couple of items missing but that wasn't the problem. I didn't get a call or a knock when my groceries where delivered. But when I opened my front door and started to grab my items, a bunch of flies flew out of the bag I was holding. I looked and it was the Rotisserie Chicken I order and paid for. The lid was off and the chicken exposed. I can't tell you by writing this how livid, hostile and angry I became. But I did not want to get my child upset. I was afraid of going to the Smart & Final store because I can get very loud and physical when I become angry and I didn't want that to happen. I didn't want to go to jail for punching some careless dick who didn't take the time to package and secure it correctly. All of my canned items where fine, no openings, no cracks, no lids ajar, no breaks whatsoever. I don't order or use Smart & Final online since and I would recommend it. I don't know why Yelp has me listed in San Francisco? I tried correcting this. Wouldn't take. read more

I've been going to this store for the longest time way back from old location. I never had a problem until today. I bought worth $100.00 items and gave my old & bags. He rang everything and i paid. Then he started talking to his coworker so i asked are you not going to bag my groceries? His response was "we're not obligated..... ok , this other bag is dirty. It's ok I'll bag." I paid a new bag to put the rest of the items. I told him how sure i am if these bags are clean? Because the a can of crushed pineapple is dusty. If i buy something i do clean or wash before cooking or serving and i do emphasize good washing technique. I could have just left and cancelled everything or return or bag it myself and take my time. I will not mention his name because he's a young man and will have more years to go. I tried to call the 562-920-6268 no answer. read more

This store has all the basic necessities that you're looking for in a typical grocery store. I haven't had any problems with the staff or produce. The store is huuuge so I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. If you find spoiled produce, that might just be a one-time unlucky sighting because it hasn't happened to me yet ever since I've been coming here. Checkout is extremely fast. Some are friendly and may initiate small talk while others may just want you to pay and go. It's a hit or miss on who you get. read more

I wasn't going to say anything but it's bothering me too much. I have to say something. Yesterday around 4 pm a gentleman put money in the lottery machine and I guess the machine wouldn't print out his ticket requests. So I guess he was asking for help. They were telling him sorry. You have to contact the company to get your money back. Out of nowhere one of the cashiers made a nor so smart remark of...that's what life is a gamble. Completely sets the customer off. I'm standing in line watching them go back and forth. Wasn't a good look at all for the cashier to keep going. I too buy from that machine. I hope it never happens to me. read more

I have been coming to this store for more than 15 years, when they had a club card, for my family needs and when they carried club size items i would shop here for my business. In all of my years coming here ive never had a problem with unhelpful or rude workers like some of the reviews are saying. Parking lot is big so no problem there. But now they have remodeled the store and i absolutely hate it. It would have been ok if it made navigating the store easier, but it doesnt. Basically they tried to make it look like Trader Joes and Sprouts, 2 stores that i hate. They should have just gotten the empty Ralphs spot across the street to add more square footage. And for some reason now the produce always looks horrible. They basically just made the store worse. Unhappy shopper. read more

I wouldn't buy meat here. Managment doesn't seem to go through the trouble of verifying the quality or expiration of what is on the shelf. I've had this happen before, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt... no more. Wild caught shrimp severely freezer burn, meat smelly and slimy. Their response... "No problem, just bring it in". No problem? As if I have nothing better to do with my time and resources, but to make multiple trips to the store. Be cautious, as the issue goes beyond their meat department, last time I was there their organic red onions were rotten. I notified the checkout clerk as they seemed to be clueless. read more

I would not recommend this store. after parking i opened my door realizing there were roaches crawling on the floor. thought that's not normal, but I let it go because at least it wasn't inside the store. however, I went in started shopping and I noticed I was getting bit. after standing still for a little while I noticed mosquitos flying around me and ended up killing 3 during my time there. when you see 1 roach you know there's more around and once mosquitos come in numbers it's not a good sight. have no interest in coming back read more

This Store has the most incompetent workers I have ever come across. I had a question regarding a carbonated beverage (I just wanted to know whether or not it was carbonated because it was in a can) I had to go through three clueless vendors and two employees before receiving an answer. Everyone I spoke too seemed very dis-interested in assisting me, the customer. This all happened around 6:15AM so it's not like the store was crowded. Luis who works in produce told me he could not help me simply because he works in produce (Now that's bad customer service, this man should be fired). Miguel ended up helping me after I pleaded with him and told him my question had NOTHING to do with the specific area in which he worked... this is why technology and Amazon is replacing these service jobs. The best part of this horrible visit was Erika the cashier who has always demonstrated outstanding customer service! The store manager should hire more people like her and if they choose not to, I believe this store should and will be shut down for incompetent workers within the next five years. ** WARNING to future customers!! you are on your own if you have a question while visiting this store. Bring your cell phones because Google is better at assisting then the people who are paid to do the job. #retraining #replacements #Amazon read more

I used there app to order groceries & mind you this is the 2nd time they miss my items: I called directly to the store & night Mgnr Laurie just only apologizes but cant do anything because it is a 3rd party does the distribution.....So knowing that there is a Pandemic & your trying to get groceries correctly to your home safely; why cant they take responsibility? Well suggestion to call 3rd party I did & they hung up! So other suggestions to talk to Direct mgnr- AAron....so putting fingers to each & no responsiblity.....wow I never thought this store doesn't keep there customers with no satisfaction.....Beaware this real! This happened 2 times! read more

If you want to wait 39 mins just to check out then come here. The line goes all the way to the back coz there's only one cashier. This obese worker Daniel warring a 5xl black polo shirt had a stank attitude. It's not your job that sucks, it's you. read more

No membership dues, most brands available at the mega superstore are available here, in a more compact warehouse & smaller quantities. This particular one is in a smaller, less busy area. Good deals on seasonal products, best deal on paper goods particularly party supplies -a HUGE assortment in terms of quality , size or quantity (that is good enough for a party or for your own restaurant!) Larger supply of fresh produce, but I think the prices are comparable or equal to other grocery stores - I was hoping for cheaper. Good for meats and meat products. read more

I usually come here when I need something in bulk. Their kinda like Costco, but on a smaller scale. They are pretty good with helping out around the store, and the cashiers don't fuss when you use manufacturers coupon. The produce is usually fresh too. Overall, a good shopping experience. read more

Smart & easy! I love shopping at this store. It's new, clean and it pretty much fulfills 90% of my shopping list for my home bakery! There's just one big problem, the beggers outside the store. They harass you as you go in and leave the store. Ok, sure an occassional bum or beggar when you're out & about is one thing, but I shop here weekly and it gets old. Oh, belive me the variety of loiters is interesting, we have a guy playing guitar, an older woman who always wears hats, a young woman, they're all shape, colors and sizes. Either way, there's always someone there. Plus, they're rude, pushy and demanding. They demand you walk over to the bench and donate something to them. If the store was bum free, I'd give it another star. ***smart, ehh*** 1. Clean store & friendly staff 2. Covers most of my shopping needs 3. Beware of the beggrs read more

Childish employees, who bring their horrible life problems to work with them and include random customers in on their dramatic lives. I went in without a mask. From the get go I was like ugh I have my mask from yesterday I'm not wearing that. They normally give you one when you go in. I went in, nobody greeted me I just kept walking. I walk through one isle and this big guy stops me and says I need a mask. And I said I don't have one, and he looks me dead in the eyes like he's stupid or something. Didn't understand it. Then when stupid doesn't understand, stupid gets pissed, and that's exactly what he did he didn't direct me to where I can get a mask, he berates me and tell me it's in the front and if I don't put one on they won't tender me. What, he wanted me to Sri everything and run to front of the store to get one? Nah. You know what that's called, covid or not, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. Bad customer service from people who have no lives or bitter lives that bring all their shit and drama to work with them. I'm a quiet and reserved person and I couldn't stand all this of this shit novela they brought me into. I yelled! And I NEVER yell. But at the end, I did. From the first encounter, to the last, didn't even know that smart and final was there but I passed it and it's the last time. And complaining now a days, you gotta jump through so many hoops because of the pitfalls of covid. It's truly ridiculous to be treated like a second class citizen, for what? Forgetting a clean mask at home? And NOOOBODY has the common sense to slow down and think logically or critically about it. Just immediate I was cast into their drama, without warning or notice. They even made a special shout out to me over the loud speaker. I'm telling you, I was the guest star on their shit show of a life! In my heart I can promise, and I don't swear, but I KNOW in my heart I was gonna get a mask upon entering. Nobody greeted me and instantly attacked me. They also filmed POV for their drama, he started filming me and I guess expected a reaction and to know how those abusive toxic af ppl in your lives are crazy as shit but when ppl are looking they're like the most proper eloquent individual?? Psychotic. So yea, he starts filming and totally drops the aggressive crazy behavior and is like " I'm the general manager, I have already asked you to put the mask over your nose and mouth.." (mind you, they said it ONCE, and yelled it at me and chased me because I didn't have it over my nose. But the other guy who gave it to me didn't mind it not being over my nose OR mouth, just as long as I had it on. Makes a whole lot of sense I now understand why ppl go crazy in those videos. They antagonize the HECK out of you. They don't even have the understanding to know that if I was asked, not aggressively since the beginning, and given a mask and not treated disrespectfully, because anyone in their right mind wouldn't tolerate the bs, if have the mask on no issue?! Yet others with no mask over their nose can shop peacefully. Why? Cause they weren't drama material. But apparently forgetting a mask and having a shit day makes you prime for their casting call. Literally. Felt like it was a joke. Grown men acting like a babies. And the woman who gave me the mask, gave it to me like I was some sort of leper. You a different kind of stupid not sick but chances are it'll come back to you and you'll end up getting it. I don't wish it on you, but they have a way of happening like that. I'd say me ignoring them after being followed, yelled at talked about assumed guilty disrespected and even talking to other customers about me... when I was gonna put a mask on ugh the stupidity. THAT would make anyone not want to listen. What? Let you bully me til I put it on? That's never worked in life, only for a slave, not a free woman. small d*** issues they got there. Not my problem. read more

I shop here frequently since I live in bellflower and this location is close to home. The selection is decent and produce is somewhat hit and miss. They do have everything I need and some good bulk buys which I like. What I don't like is how this location seems chronically understaffed, or at least the staff seems generally unhelpful and unfriendly. Multiple times I have been at the check out stand and the person work I g the register did not say one word to me until they had the total payment amount. Today for example, my wife and I bought 230ish dollars worth of stuff for an event we are doing, and the girl at the register just seemed irritated that we had so much stuff. Granted, this may be a management issue or corporate climate bla bla bla, but whatever it is, I wish they would start creating a more customer friendly culture so that shopping there is not so taxing of an experience. read more

Absolutely gross place to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables. I was disgusted enough to leave without buying a single thing! Who puts/leaves out molding tomatoes? Wow...just wow read more

I came to Smart & Final today for just a couple of things forgetting that it was Saturday afternoon. I should have realized with the full parking lot that the store was going to be crowded. I walked in and it was crowded. I wandered about picking up the things and a couple of "Impulse" items (dill pickles for one) and made my way to the front. They had four check stands open. One of these was a express (10 or fewer). The other three lines had several people in line and they all had full carts. The Express lane had a couple of people in it and the lady at the end of the line had a basket full of stuff. I always get angry at this because they call it an express lane for a reason. I have actually taken items out of my cart in order to stay under the limit. When the lady got to the belt the cashier asked the "Lead" cashier about the full cart. As the lady put her first item on the belt, the cashier apologized to the lady and told her that it was a lane for 10 or fewer items and she was going to have to go to a different register. Well the lady was unhappy about it but did so without creating a disturbance. The rest of the people including me got a very satisfied look on our face. I thanked the cashier for doing it. So did everyone else. This is the first time in my life that I have ever seen this happen! read more

Buying lasagne fixins' :) They would have had more stars but I couldn't tolerate the number of wild kids running loose in the store. There should really be laws about this, first of all it's unsafe to have them running around banging into people and products. Secondly, it's annoying to those of us who didn't bring our kids and are trying to concentrate on not missing stuff on the list. The store itself is awesome, nice aisles, plenty of product, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Ok, just read the other reviews and hopefully the store manager will also, the only thing keeping this place from five stars is the location I guess ...someone else mentioned the beggars outside the store. Which I didn't see. Anyway, i guess this location has a few issues. As I said, friendly staff, lots of room in the aisles, super clean store. Except for the screaming, distracting kids and their lame parents who ignored them, an awesome place. :) read more

Only one cashier working, that's horrible for s busy place like this, it's 9pm and there's a line of people with handheld items that they want to pay, maybe they should hire more cashiers. Lucky for us our cashier of the night lily is pretty darn fast so kudos to her. read more

First time at this location today very unpleasant experience! Cashier unfriendly with BAD customer service. She did not greet me or ask if I had found everything okay. Literally just started ringing up my items, only words she said during my cash out was "Do you want cash back" and after that handed me a receipt. Not even a goodbye or have a good day. I will not return to this location, even if it is of convenient ! read more
