    Long lines at Vons, TWO checkers in the entire store.

    Have time to kill to write this, I'm sitting in line for checkout, have been for the last ten minutes. It's 5:46 Friday evening. Is this typically a bad time to shop? People stocking up for the weekend(?). I would think it is routinely busy. There were TWO (2) checkers, INCLUDING SEKF CHECKOUT. One of the checkers in a regular line would run back and forth between her lane and self checkout. Really? Needless to say the lines are HUGE. This picture doesn't do it justice as the majority are hidden in the aisles. Two checkers, total during a predictably busy time, Seriously Vons? No thanks, I'll stop somewhere else next Friday

    Fried chicken had a crunchy batter and was nice and juicy inside.  I liked the flavor of the batter which was salty with a good amount of pepper.  The oil they fry in was fresh and of good quality as there was no aftertaste.  In the past I've stayed away from supermarket fried chicken but Vons has a good product now.  I prefer the flavor of Stater Bros fried chicken but Vons is in second place. I showed up at 11am and the chicken was fresh out of the fryer.  Regular price is $7.99 but they often have sales where the price goes down to $4.99 which is a great deal.  Getting that deal is a bit tricky.  You have to register for the Vons rewards program Just 4 U.  Then you have to either download the app or go to vons.com and add the digital coupon which is hidden under the deli tab.  Then you have to enter your phone number at the register to get the deal price.   I also tried the fried chicken at Ralphs but I didn't like it that much.  I would return for Vons fried chicken if it was on sale and I was free around 11am. That's when I'm sure I'll get freshly fried chicken.

    This review is just for the floral department. Aiden, the floral manager, is amazing!! She has helped me put together so many orders. My most recent one was for a friend who was retiring. The arrangements came out so beautifully and the tablescape was so pretty! Even the restaurant manager commented on how lovely it looked Thank you Aiden for always providing me with all of my floral needs! You're the BEST!

    Today is 9/27. They gave me these expired and opened chicken livers dated 9/23.

    I made the mistake of placing another mobile order here. Again, they gave me an expired meat product (today is 9/27, they gave me an OPENED container of chicken livers with a use by date of 9/23). Two items which are very common were out of stock, and no substitutions available (Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella), really? I don't believe that. To that point, their app shows items in stock that they don't even carry in the store. I've become so frustrated with them that I only shop at Ralph's nearby. At least I won't get food poisoning.

    They never employ enough cashiers. It's always 5-10 people deep regardless of coming in the morning or evening.

    Good selection. For some reason every single time I've gone there were no baskets up front. Do they not restock those?

    Very rude cashier. Only one cashier for a line wrapping around the store. Will not return.

    I just started to go back into the store to retrieve the missing bag, when I ran into Darlene in the parking lot.

    Honestly a decently sized Ralph's for being in a major downtown area like San Diego. I was pretty…read moresurprised at the size and how well it seems to be managed given his clean and well-organized it was when I visited. 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.

    We were walking back to our car after an event when we passed by this Ralph's on G Street. We were…read morestill several blocks from the car, and I needed a restroom. 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.
