    Imagine walking down the dairy asile and finding a moldy explosion of crescent rolls. My worst nightmare. Mold spores flying through the air duplicating on everything they land on. Eeeewww. This is no nightmare. It was reality!!! The pic is probably better blurred...disgusting. So I pick up said object to take to a manager up front. 1. To rid the space of the flying spores 2. Maybe let the mgr know the employees are not doing their jobs very throughly, putting the customer health at risk. I'm almost wanting to experiment to see how long it would take to grow that much mold in a cold environment and NO-ONE in the store noticed this! No one! It took a customer to remove the science project. Enter Olivia who says she's a supervisor when I ask for a Manager. Fine. I present her with the unidentifiable green goop and her reply? "I don't know how that could possibly be in our store" What?????? As if I brought this disgusting blob in on my own just to taunt them??? She then tosses it in the trash and goes about her business totally dismissing the situation. Did this just happen? No asking where it was so the area could be cleaned. Nada. I go to another checker to pay for my items and he informs me who the Assistant Manager is. Hello, Josh. Get ready for an earful. I retell the story to Josh and he is much nicer and says he will talk to Olivia about her handling of the situation. Here I felt better and was thanked for bringing it to their attention. Who knows if crabby Olivia was talked to or not. At least Josh has good skills in customer service. I normally avoid this store anyway as it's small and overpriced. But it's convenient. That's how they get you. Convenience or not, I will not be back. Who knows how many other areas of the store are neglected in their cleaning practices. I don't want to get sick. I'm out of hand sanitizer after that shopping trip. One star is the lowest option. If Josh hadn't been available it would have received a written zero stars. He is the reason for the one star. Corporate office should be ready...it's going to be a doozy of an email.

    Deli Fried Chicken

    Stopped in for milk and fried chicken. Anyone whose had fresh fried chicken from the deli can not deny it is AMAZING! Unfortunately this location clearly does not take pride in their product. Chicken was extremely dry from sitting under the heater. I would hope staff members would periodically do a quality check and pull meat that has been sitting for awhile. Feeling exhausted and not wanting to make the trek back to the store I filled up on potato salad and sweet rolls (included in their Monday Meal Deal). The milk wasn't much better with a shelf life of 2 weeks and a pint of Haagen Daz ice cream which was..... frost bitten. Three stars for outstanding cashier, ample parking, and location.

    So you may wonder why I gave 5 stars to a tourist grocery store that charges higher prices and has a limited selection when compared to other stores. Well, it's because they are who they are and they understand their clientele. The staff is spot on and they do an amazing job with little space. One of the few stores that has parking behind the building, it is also open to public parking for a reasonable price. They have. Great deli and they make sandwiches to order. Fried chicken, cold cuts, salads...all of it prepared fresh and served with a smile. This store sells more wine than all other Vons and that only serves to point that they know their demographic. I love coming here on my bike and buying what I need and getting a discount with my Vons card. Narrow aisles? YES. Limited selection? YES. Friendly service? YES. Fresh flowers, great wines, great deli? YES YES YES! Nothing but goodness here and they also have an amazing selection of fresh fruit. What's not to love?! If you want big box then go to IB. If you want great service, everything you need and a great deli look no further. Say yes to Vons and come on in!

Always look forward to buying a deli sandwich during my lunch break but just for them to take my order takes them at least 10 minutes! Mind you, I only get a 30 minute lunch break. And the prepping time takes them 15 minutes! That's already 25 minutes wasted of my lunch just waiting for my sandwich. Today I order a Turkey Wrap. Took them 5 whole minutes for them to take my order and a whole 10 minutes to make my wrap. There was no line for sandwiches except an order of two sandwiches but all I saw were the workers chitchatting amongst each other instead of prepping (hence doing their job). Got my wrap and paid which took less than 2 minutes. While eating my wrap I noticed that my wrap didn't even have turkey in it. Headed over to the deli to see if they could make me a new one but immediately turned around because their workers were just chitchatting with each other and there was already a long line of people waiting on their order. Just went to the cashier to ask for my refund. Didn't even take a picture because I was already so disappointed and frustrated that I just wanted my money back. I really do hope that the deli service gets better.

Prices did seem a bit inflated but you're in a Ralph's downtown in San Diego so it was expected. Bathrooms require a code with a purchase from the store which was also to be expected. Employees there are definitely rude and sarcastic which brought down the experience of going there. They do have a patio but there are a good amount of homeless people around there so not sure if eating your lunch there is the best idea.

I entered the store and found my way to the back were the bathrooms are only to find that I needed a code to unlock the door. I suppose that is a necessary evil given the homeless problem in and around the store. For folks like me who just need to pee, it was a real hassle. I scouted around the store for a couple of minutes looking for an employee who might provide me with the code. After not having any luck, I said "F*ck it" and left. I just held it until we arrived at the building where the car was parked and used the facilities there. The store, did however, look like a pretty good Ralph's if you live or were staying nearby.

We live in Coronado so obviously we weren't taking it back so it all got thrown away. We also bought 8 avocados and 5 of them were black inside. They didn't feel soft like we had to hurry up and eat them but they were more hard firm like they still needed to sit out but my husband want to eat guacamole so I opened 1 thinking it would be still firm and green inside but it was firm and black. So we lost several dollars and learned our lesson! I'll stick to La Vallarta where I know their pan dulce is freshly made with fresh products daily and I've yet to get hard black avocados from them, I just pay a bit more for better product. I'd goto food 4 less before trying this place again!

I made eye contact with one of the store associates at the register and instead of acknowledging me, he looked back down. I knocked on the door and he just shook his head at me, indicating he wouldn't be opening the doors. I took a picture of the hours on the window and that prompted him to come outside. He informed me they had had a power outage and were attempting to get the registers back up and working. Understandable. I said thanks and walked back to my car, only to watch more customers do exactly what I had just done and stand by the doors that didn't open. What does it take to write on a piece of paper that the store is currently closed due to a power outage and put it up on the doors? Lights are on, employees are in there staring at you through closed doors.... This place is mismanaged and the employees are SO lazy. I've been in the store many times waiting in a line to check out where one employee is at a register and the other employees are hanging around. Keep in mind they have 4 registers. It might be time to start thinking about implementing self check outs. This store is always very stocked and has a lot of options which makes it a good choice, but I would avoid it if I could. I drove across the street after this to Vons and got what I needed.
