Albertsons

They do not have a variety of cupcakes. Please never leave cupcakes or cakes sitting in the sun..

Albertson’s isn’t usually my go to store. That would be Ralph’s. However, Albies does have good deals from time to time and that’s when I visit. Non sale items are definitely too expensive but when it’s on sale, it’s a good deal. The reason for the 4 star review is the customer service. Every employee I’ve met here has been super friendly. Cashiers are talkative and you can tell they like their jobs. There have been times I’ve come here for items in the sale ad and the shelves are empty. Stock employees will take the time to look in the back for you and bring more items out. I’ve even had an employee carrying a 6 pack of iced tea bottles around the store looking for me. Now that’s awesome customer service!

One of the best if not actually the only Albertsons around this area. I come here weekly for all my veggies or small things I need. They always have everything in stock. The staff here is amazing, ive been coming here for over 10 years and the crew doesn’t change much, I usually only see a few new faces around the holidays. They crew is always friendly and always willing to help. Lots of parking :)

I dread coming here, but being that its a few blocks away, I come here for quick items. It’s always crowded, and there are so few humans manning cash registers. I have to use the human cashiers if I’m buying beer. The humans are so slow, scanning one item at a time at a snail’s pace. They are friendly for the most part, but some are too friendly, often chatting with customers after they have been given their receipts while the line of four or five people wait. Ugh!
I will drive the 4 miles to Ralph’s if I’m getting a larger order.
Come on management or corporate, get your stuff together here, I want to frequent you more often.

Updating my review. Albertson’s has done a nice job with updating their produce section as well as offering some organic produce. Staff is very friendly and this store has become my go-​to for any quick grocery needs on the way home.

Just went to the Starbucks inside. The barista’s name is Alisha. Great person, hard worker, and super friendly. Be nice to her, cranky morning people! She’s by herself and working so efficiently. Ordered the Toasted Graham for the first time. Oh my gosh… it’s delicious!!! If you haven’t tried it yet, go get one before it’s out of season! This Starbucks is definitely a hidden gem inside Albertsons.

One of the only local Albertson’s around 626 now!
Friendly. Good meat deals on hoildays.
I recycle my cans and bottles at the RePlanet here.

Nothing really special about this Albertsons. Its like every other Albertsons I’ve been to.

My family and I have been going to this market for over 21 years and we will not go to any other market. We LOVE every employee that works there! They treat us like family.

Their cherries were insanely priced ($ 9 for a pound) and the manager was very grim to clarify the details of a coupon we were using. She could have seemed happier to help us.

I absolutely LOVE this store. I’ve lived in arcadia for almost 3 years and I visit this location almost twice a day. Every employee is always so helpful, nice, and I really enjoy everyone. They do their absolute best to make sure everything is in stock, and Richard is really on point. They have barbecues on the weekend, easter egg hunts, and other fun stuff like chili roasting. I have even had a hard time thinking about ever moving because it’s just such a nice place to do my grocery shopping.

I want to start by saying I wanted to buy 20 cases of canned soda while my aunt also bought 20 in a separate transaction for a different reason. That’s a lot. I know it. She knows it. The rude customer behind me «just thinking out loud» clearly knew it.
The register lady saw my aunt’s cart and said she had to call the manager. He showed up and questioned us about what we needed so much soda for. Not that it’s any of his business why we buy what we buy, but we told him it was for a party (separate parties, but we didn’t say that). He clearly didn’t believe us and talked about not wanting to fund mom and pop shops or liqueur stores or anything like that. I said we understood that.
He kept stressing it which is fine — I understand the reasoning– but there was something else he said that just bothers me so much. He said something along the lines of «if we followed you out of the parking lot, we don’t want to see you turn into your store.» It was hypothetical, but why even say that? That’s so creepy and possibly illegal.
I admit we got a ton of soda, but it was on sale, there was no limit, and we’re having parties. Of course we’re going to hoard it.
He made me feel bad about going to his store for something I needed. He let us buy it, but he said it was only okay that time. Well yeah, it’s only okay that time. I’m not going back after that.
Oh and we both got overcharged after all that. Honest mistake? I’m thinking no.

Review is for deli. Went to get 1lb salami for a picnic. Waited politely as 2 workers chatted for 5 min before even acknowledging me. Serviced by heavy set, short Hispanic woman with glasses. Asked her to give me 1lb of hard OR regular Genoa salami and that I wanted the one with less salt. She shrugged her shoulders and said «I don’t know». Couldn’t help but respond «You can look at the label right?» Hesistantly, she did. Really??? This is a time I really miss my Ralphs. Maybe worth it next time to drive a little further to get the same priced product but better customer service.

I’m kinda thinking albertsons may be losing some money as an organization, so they’ve lost the member cards and have been having frequent sales
well, enough of that. a couple of the staff can be rude, but most are cordial. but even if i encounter someone rude, it’s nice when a very attractive lady named yessenia rings me up
oh my my my
parking lot is pretty spacious but can be very packed during holidays. lowered cars should enter on the second ave side

What can I say about A Supermarket? Lots! They have the greatest customer service! When you’re pushing the carts around, any staff that sees you greets you & asks if you need any assistance. The store is usually well stocked, clean, & organized.
The Butcher Dept has friendly and wonderful service. They are always cheery & helpful. They’ll cut majority of meats for you, take special requests, & hold orders for if you call in.
I was once over charged for something. They refund my money & gave me the item for free. How could you not be satisfied with such customer service? My go to supermarket. See you guys soon!

I think you get better service at Pavillions or Ralphs personally. Being that this grocery store is 3 doors down from me i come her often. There’s this lady at the Deli here that must hate life or her job. The last 2 times I’ve used the Deli, she’s been rude and unfriendly. I don’t want to put her name on blast but the next time she’s rude to me it’s strike 3 and I’ll update my post and post her name.

They did away with the Club card, but I find that the sales are not as good as Vons and Ralphs.
I split up my weekly grocery trips into 3 market types… Asian grocer, American name brand (e.g. Ralphs/​Vons) and Trader Joe’s.
I browse the weekly circulars and plan my shopping accordingly. I notice that I rarely find deals there and I only go if beer is on sale (usually need the coupon from their ad for the beer)
The best thing though.. .. their fancy new black shopping carts. I mean it, they’re pretty sweet!

Convenient location with a Starbucks and Wells Fargo inside. Store is organized, clean, and includes a deli, pharmacy, and sushi section. There’s also 2 Red Box kiosks inside!
Albertsons is pricier than other markets, but it’s worth it for the cleanliness and is one of the only American markets in the Arcadia/​El Monte neighborhood. Sometimes they BBQ in front of the store on the weekends.
Private parking lot with plenty of parking. There’s even a Subway and Optometrist in the same plaza.
Great neighborhood market!

There is a certain necessity of visiting a neighborhood grocery store from time to time; despite the fact that I don’t do my grocery shopping at these stores since their whole service model and employee training programs went the way of the dodo in the post-​strike era, there are times that it’s easier to duck in to Albertsons to pick up some coffee creamer or a bag of ice.
And in each of these moments, I am reminded that this store, like so many other grocery stores that once catered to customers and not corporate masters, has various tragic flaws. In no particular order:
— Attention cashiers: When you’re scanning my groceries, it is not appropriate to ignore me, fail to acknowledge my presence, reprimand me for selecting a piece of fruit that doesn’t have the sticker with the SKU you can’t seem to remember and are now «forced» to look up in the cheat-​book with a heavy sigh, tell me how much dry ice I need (as opposed to me telling you how much I need), act annoyed when your haphazardly-​wrapped chicken drips blood all over your conveyor belt despite my efforts to bag a 20 inch polystyrene meat boat in a 16 inch long plastic bag provided by your company, and/​or have a personal albeit PG-​13 conversation about the would-​be sexual exploits of the high school kid bagging groceries.
— Attention in-​store Starbucks workers: You have the Cinnamon Dolce Latte and the Tooth-​Enamel-​Destroying Mint Latte containers mislabeled. Please look into this.
— Attention cart-​retrievers/​store managers: I appreciate your concern for my health by providing anti-​bacterial wipes to dab-​off the remnants of whatever detritus the cart pusher before me was pawing through. However, please note that when all of the carts available to me for selection from the front of your store (or more likely, from somewhere in the parking lot) contain those used and hastily discarded wipes… along with other assorted trash, store ads, and used Starbucks cups… well, I don’t really want to place food I hope to purchase and ultimately consume in close proximity to that stuff.
Long, slow lines due to only one register opened is something of an expectation here. As grocery stores go, this one is not the worst… If I didn’t hate Wells Fargo with a fiery passion, the in-​store bank would be convenient. There is a good selection of produce and products, a pharmacy (if you’re into that sort of thing), a hot bakery with a small selection ranging from donuts to sheet cakes, and a hot deli that always seems lively.
THis is not my first choice for weekly grocery shopping. But at 7 a.m. on a quiet Saturday morning, when you discover that you’re out of International Delight, and your sweetie won’t drink her coffee any other way… Albertsons: It’s Your Store!
