Saw this and immediately thought of my friend. You can have anything Tony's way! LOL

Two weekends ago, my dear friend & her family plus my eldest daughter & I enjoyed a delicious All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) sushi dinner at Show Sushi in San Dimas. Afterwards, I suggested we get some ice cream from Rite-Aid. Hey, just because we had AYCE doesn't mean we can't have ice cream LOL. Well, it turned out Rite-Aid is no longer in business at that plaza... bummer, I used to go to that Rite-Aid to fill my prescriptions when I used to work in San Dimas. There was a sense of sadness as I had a nostalgic moment. I didn't tear, but if I thought long enough, I may have teared... it's just sensitive me. Anyway, we walked down the plaza and saw Smart & Final Extra. I said let's check it out... they may sell ice cream. Wowza, I did not know it is like a miniature Wal-Mart. It has changed a lot since the last time I step foot into a Smart & Final or maybe this one is different since it has Extra in its name... who knows. Nevertheless, glad to have them here. I walked around and finally arrived at the freezer section, and found my ice cream. Yay! Since we had a heavy dinner, we wanted something very light and small... Haagen-Dazs mini caught my eyes... BINGO! My friend got some avocados and we were on our way to the cash register. Staff was okay not too smiley. Prices for ice cream and avocados were reasonable. I have to say it is a cozy and quaint place. I may have to visit Smart & Final more often for some of my shopping needs. Stater Brothers may have some competition since that's where I normally shop for my fruits and vegetables LOL. Anyway, thank you Smart & Final Extra for your presence when we needed a little something sweet after an AYCE sushi!

I bought My Mochi ice cream 2 days ago. Today I opened the box and found that all 6 mochi balls were squished (see photos). How did they get destroyed so badly? The box was in good shape, but the mochi balls looked like they were dropped from a five story building. So disappointing!!!

Cheese purchased on April 13th 2022.

I came here on 4/13 to buy some food for the upcoming Easter weekend. I picked up 4 different cheeses along with my other foods. Opened one of them today April 16th, a chipotle gruyere. Was surprised to find it had a real funky blue cheese flavor. It was terrible. Checked the expiration date, and it expired 7 months ago in September 2021. It prompted me to check the expiration date of the other cheeses. The brie I grabbed was also expired, but only a few days before purchase (4/9/22). I get it, it's only a few days. And I guess I should have checked the expiration date. But I never would expect it to see a product 7 months past the expiration.

This isn't the first time I've seen this at this location. Inventory and such happen...but effort to be neat, folks.

I'll tell it like it is then I'll tell it how it could be... - 3 Stacks. The largest issue with this store is the inconsistency of product availability...if I may be so formal. Simply put, one day I can go in and get hella organic fruit, the next I am making a pointless trip for an empty organic section. I can get a bevy of shrimp...then the next time they are out (Pro Tip: Go to Trader Joe's for the Argentinian Red Shrimp in lieu of Smart and Final's version...bigger for the same price). Smart and Final, as a brand, tries to be all things to all people. This is why I can get eggs, milk, deodorant, light bulbs, aluminum foil, charcoal, garlic, and baby soap in one trip. That's fine. But if you're looking for something in particular, like organic selection, grass fed meat, specialty wine...the pickings are slim. The best part of this particular place is that the employees are friendly. Friendly like when you are walking around the store and only the two of you are in the aisle and you have to awkwardly walk past them...they will make eye contact and smile. All the time. S&F is fine for overall shopping but if you have some pet brands at other stores (like Argentinian Reg Shrimp) then go ahead and make the trip elsewhere. Lots of parking, though.

I love most Smart & Final stores. This one is one of my favorite. It's huge. Clean. Large selection of veggies, fruits, frozen foods, meats and most items. I also love how each registered has its own "street name". I do not care for some of the cashiers. One in particular from this morning. She was nice and smiled, but only bagged most of my items. I ended up putting them in the cart myself. I mean, once she was done, shouldn't that be the next thing they do? She just stood there. I didn't know I'm in "Food 4 Less"... bag your own groceries store. Then, there was a sale on their cereal. According to what was written on the wall, you get a discount if you purchase two or more. I brought that to her attention, and she said I needed to get three or more for the discount to kick in. I told her what I read on the wall, and she continued to with "no, it not two, it's. It's even right here on my computer (or register)". Hmmm... then maybe i'm seeing things. It's only a few dollar, no stinky big deal, right? So, after I paid and was leaving the store, I took a walk over to the wall, where I read the info on the sale. I wanted to prove to myself, that I was not seeing things, that she's sorely mistaken. YUP... I did see TWO!!! I read it out loud for her to hear, and another employee walked up to me. I told him that the cashier's register has the wrong information, compared to what's written on the wall. That its false advertising or misleading. Call it whatever you want. No big deal... its an honest mistake. Hopefully, they will change it. I walked out of there with the "I told you so" attitude.

I came here for grape vines and broccoli! Lollll

Quick bulk and small item selection. Cashier lines are short and provide a fast checkout.

TJs is on my rotation of grocery stores. I have a primary market to buy the basic essentials, but…read moreI switch and have places to buy specialty items. TJs carries their own brand that cannot be found in other stores. Their produce, dairy, bread, meats are primarily organic grown/made. The most sought-after item is their TOTE BAGS! They are made of denim, good for taking your lunch or snacks. It has an outer pocket and different color straps/handle. When they are released, there is a limit of four per customer. Be prepared to wait in line, but do not delay, they are guaranteed to sell out. The employees are the nicest and most friendliest of all grocery stores I have ever been you. It's easy to see they "like" their job and value the customers. You can buy flowers, ready made salads, canned and frozen foods, cookies, ice cream, and greeting cards at a bargain price, etc. The infamous TWO BUCK CHUCK wine is now three dollars, still a good value. On this visit I was pleasantly surprised to see Pumpkin Wine! I chilled it at home, it tastes like spiced cider. They also sell their own brand of Mexican beer, cleverly named Trader Jose (available in Dark or Light brew). It tastes just as good as the competitors. Sincerely, Rosemary

This location is always a great stop! The store is clean, organized, and well-stocked sometimes…read more.. i prefer going here on weekday mornings to avoid the crowds. The staff is friendly and helpful, and checkout is usually quick and efficient. I also love that the prices are reasonable, especially for the quality of the products. There's always something new or seasonal to discover. Overall, this is a convenient and close location for me but I prefer La Verne location. Bigger store and better selections.

I'm still going to give them 5 stars. That is my favorite grocery store. But!!!! Don't get mad at…read moreme meat/sea food department for paying $9.99 per lb. for devained shimp And having vains in my shrimp.I wasn't a Karen. I called respecfuly cause no one is perfect. I waited patiently to just swap them out. No bitching, no trying to get anything for free. But I was treated like an inconvenience. That kind of ruined my Sunday

Customer service? What customer service?…read more The meat department employee, Devan, was openly rude, argumentative, and seemed personally offended when I wanted to make my own selection. Apparently, customers are expected to accept his choices without question. If you disagree or ask for something different, be prepared for him to raise his voice and challenge you. God forbid a paying customer wants to choose her own steak! What is even more disappointing is management's apparent unwillingness to address this behavior. Poor service is one thing; tolerating an employee who speaks to customers this way is another. There are plenty of better options in the neighborhood where customers can purchase quality meat while being treated with basic dignity and respect. No one should have to settle for subpar products, rude service, and employees who appear to lack both proper training and professionalism.

I've been meaning to post this for a very long time because exceptional customer service deserves…read moreto be recognized. A special shout-out to Amir in the produce department. He is consistently a ray of sunshine every time I shop. He always greets customers with a genuine smile, is incredibly kind and helpful, and goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcome. Outstanding customer service like Amir's is rare, and he truly sets the standard. His positive attitude, professionalism, and willingness to help make every shopping trip a better experience. Stater Bros. is fortunate to have such an exceptional employee representing their store. Thank you, Amir, for reminding us that a simple smile and genuine kindness can make someone's day. You are an incredible asset to Stater Bros., and I hope you receive the recognition you so richly deserve!

Review For Produce Department " Felicia ".! July 3/2026…read moreTime we visited: 2:00-2:30 PM Excellent customer Service. Felicia went above and beyond for us.!! Felicia was busy putting out fruit trays, and I saw an employee behind the fruit counter shopping up fruit, he was so busy too. I asked are you out of corn ?. Felecia said we have a big stand in the front of the store and I said oh we never saw the stand of corn. Felecia said I have a BIG Fresh box in the back and I will bring it out for you. Felicia didn't just bring the box of corn out and place it in the Ben, she brought it to us on a big cart and Sette pick what you want. We said thank you and we picked five years and they were beautiful and big and fat so nice of her to go out of her way to take care of us and I greatly appreciate that. Felicia is the reason I will keep coming to this stater brothers over any other grocery store service like this is one in 1 million and Felicia is one in 1 million service with a smile even though she's busy in the store is crowded she was so kind and so professional and so thoughtful.!! we truly appreciated Felicia service today and we will be back and I highly recommend stater brothers market on Route 66 in GLENDORA. If you see Felicia say hi.
