    Pumpkins!
    Auri L.

    Food is always fresh! Great selections all the time! Friendly crew members and best service in the location! My go to the store for 20 years! New and delicious varieties of food. The ambiance is warm and welcoming at all times. Always feels like family! It is my family, it's not just a market. Oh yes! I love the seasonal items also.

    Sheep's milk feta cheese
    Wayne W.

    Great store. Somewhat smaller than others but a great source of things you want. Except sheep's milk Feta, for some reason it has disappeared. A busy but well staffed market with helpful people. Of the things I use, if I can get it here then make a point of doing so. Parking is a bit dicey, move slowly and check often, there are lots moving parts in a small area.

    Who doesn't love traders Joe's.. Everything is fresh.. An excellent alternative to whole foods. Friendly helpfull employees ie real people. There is a reason folks have been shopping here for 50 years highly recommended.

    I like a lot of things about this supermarket. Most of the…read morestaff are nice. I like the Murray's cheese dept (now owned by Kroger?) Good parking situation. It's great to have this supermarket oasis on the peninsula. The loss of one star is that they sell The Epoch Times. That's not a fair newspaper and should not be sold next to the Los Angeles Times. While Conservatives and Liberals should all be less antagonistic towards each other and be free to think what they want... having this newspaper in the store is like selling MAGA hats at the check stands. Feel free to wear a MAGA hat but if you push them on me while shopping, I will shop elsewhere. And if I continue to see the Epoch Times being sold alongside real newspapers, I will shop elsewhere. At least with MAGA hats, you know what the deal is. But the Epoch Times is a little more insidious because it's disguised as real journalism. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/epoch-times-falun-gong-growth-rcna111373

The deli for example have one person who regularly jumps between the busy deli & fresh fare sections while the other employees are standing in their adjacent sections like cheese and bakery without any customers and not helping the deli section when there's a long line of people. The deli employee then needed change for the register and nobody came to help or cover so she went away to get cash for the register. Unfortunately this isn't one off. I've been here at different times of the day as this is my local grocery store and have witnessed this repeatedly. Several of these employees were vocal about how they've asked the manager Yoli for help and she doesn't care. They say they're told by Yoli to stay in their sections and not help each other. Either staff the busier sections with more than one person or allow nearby employees to jump in and help. Inefficient managing.

My main gripe about today's visit is that there was only one cashier who was in deep conversation with the customer in front of me. Granted she was assisting the customer with a concern, but I was in a hurry. I could have used the self service checkout, but I had fresh poke which I love from the self serve station. I didn't have the code to get a price ($22.00 for a pint), which is way out of line for the size of the container, but then again they used fresh fish in the poke and not fish that was previously frozen. The store is well stocked and neatly organized. The meat counter and deli service is outstanding. They just need more cashiers at this store, at least one more to accommodate the line.

It uses a similar but separate smartphone app than Von's, though one can use the same login. The flyer and sales are similar. Since my wife, her mom, and I were in the area, we decided to stop in to do a little grocery shopping. I did find their wine and beer selection to be quite good (it has a beautiful open view wine room in the middle of the store, with OK prices.

Definitely indicates the type of clientele this store in Palos Verdes attracts. -- there is an official Pokemoncenter vending machine in the store, selling product at retail price. It is not listed on the tracking sites, so thinking it's relatively new. Of course, it displayed all items as being sold, once I was able to get close (after the young lurkers had left).

Unfortunately, the issue is not the age of the staff -- it is the consistent lack of training, accountability, and respect in how they handle customers and online grocery orders. Ralph's - Rolling Hills frequently substitutes items incorrectly, without proper attention to what was actually requested. My most recent order included five wrong grocery replacements -- not small mistakes, but entirely unrelated items, despite clear instructions. When I attempted to call the store for a refund and speak to a manager, the lack of professionalism was shocking. The associate I believe was named "Sonia" repeatedly cut me off, insisted my issue should be routed to the deli because "she handles Thanksgiving dinners," even after I clearly explained multiple times: "This is not a Thanksgiving dinner order, these are my personal groceries." She denied interrupting me and immediately placed me on hold -- after I overheard her announce she was going to do exactly that before even greeting me on the phone. I called back hoping for better service, only to experience more defensiveness from another associate, Austin, followed by a manager, Adriana, who picked up the call with attitude rather than empathy, professionalism, or a basic customer-first mindset. To be clear: * I support youth employment * I do not support poor training, argumentative responses, or disrespect toward paying customers * I expect proper order fulfillment and professional communication when mistakes happen What this store needs is leadership that leads, training that prepares, and service that listens, rather than reacts. Until that happens, I'll happily take my business elsewhere.
