Albertsons

Here’s a story that pretty much sum’s up my experience here.
So I go to the gym right next to this place and I used to go this Albertsons after to get some food in me.
So this one day I’m buying some groceries, decided to buy one of their rotisserie chickens for dinner that night.
Go to checkout, scan all my shit, everythings fine, until I get to the chicken. I scan it and it says I need some kind of verification code from an employee. Ok that’s fine, probably because they don’t want me stealing chicken or some shit like that, cool. So I wait for 5 minutes with a rotisserie chicken in my hand with a red alarm light going off above my head, the manager (I think? since he was in a suit and tie), is completely ignoring me for this time, and doing something on his computer. Okay that’s cool.
So he finally comes over after 5 minutes and types in the code. «Thanks bro». I continue to scan my other shit and I get to scanning my credit card, BOOM asks for another verification code. So I’m like bullshit man, the alarm light goes off again and I’m standing their with the chicken in my hands still, this time I wait 10 minutes.
Just so everyone knows, the fucking store WAS EMPTY. I was the only dude their, it was at like 7 p.m. so it was rush hour or anything.
So anyways, I’ve been at checkout holding a rotisserie chicken in my hands for like 15 minutes with a red alarm light going off above my head, no one wants to fucking do their job. I’m sweaty, I’m wearing gym clothes and i want to go home. Manager is back at his computer doing computer shit. He finally stops doing stuff and walks to me, HE ENDS UP WALKING PAST ME AND GOES TO DO SOMETHING ELSE. He completely ignores me.
So you know what I did? I just left. I just left all my shit there at checkout and went to Food 4 Less by my house. They also have some damn good rotisserie chicken.
1 star for the atmosphere. 1 star for convenience, 1 star for pity.

This is by far the best Albertsons in the area. We have been getting all our cakes here for the last couple of years. Again, this year for my sons birthday-​you made an amazing cake! Holly, the baker worked with me to create the perfect cakes for our Ninja turtle party. We couldn’t be happier! Everyone was also shocked that we got them at the grocery store since they were decorated so well and taste great. Holly, you surpassed our expectations and made the birthday party spectacular! We have also purchased deli items, veggie trays, etc. Everything is always ready when you pick up and delicious. Thank you!!’

There’s no point in offering coupons for things if you never keep them in stock. Everything is slightly more expensive than competing chains, and anything with a coupon is either grossly overpriced to begin with, or stocked in such small quantities that there’s no point in trying to get them after the work day. Find another store. This chain is useless. At least service is courteous.

Just wanted to say that my visit to your location 6235 East Spring Street, Long Beach, CA 90 808 was a good one yesterday.
I was in the area (I live in Los Angeles), and had decided to stop at the grocery store to pick up a few things and was torn between Stater Bros (which is across the street) and Albertsons. My son said, «Mommy let’s go to Albertsons!». I obliged, and glad that I did. My son and I selected the items we needed then went to the deli counter for a couple of more items. One of them being the Chicken Cesar Salad (which is AWLAYS so delicious!), but unfortunately when the croutons are added to the salad my daughter can’t eat it because of her food allergies (peanuts & tree nuts). Lola was the associate who helped us and filled my request to make 2 family size containers of salad NOT containing any croutons. Her Customer Service was awesome and she smiled, and talked to us the entire time letting us know it wasn’t a problem with me placing a special request. I truly appreciate employees like her because we have come across plenty (in other places) who just don’t care that I have a major concern of the ingredients in the food. An allergic reaction with your child is terrifying for a parent because it is literally a matter of life and death. Thank you Albertsons for hiring such OUTSTANDING employees such as Lola. She was awesome!

Hard to rate a grocery store. The only thing I don’t like about this place is that when they have a sale of «3/​$ 3.00»… you HAVE TO buy three! At Vons the sale would be 3/​$ 3.00 or $ 1.00 each. Sometimes you just need one if ya know what I mean.
Otherwise some of the freshest produce of all the chain stores and very good prices on all items.

It’s not often that a grocery store leaves an impression on me worthy of a review.
This Albertsons knows what’s up! I had a number of employees ask me how I was doing, if I was finding everything I needed, etc. One of them even appeared to be going to break/​leaving for the day and still stopped to make sure I was satisfied. Now that’s service.
I don’t usually go to grocery stores for the service, but this one is great!
The interior of the store is also nice and clean, with great displays that are constantly being restocked.
Great store!

Sorry to trash this Albertson’s but I had a very bad experience tonight (Wed, 6÷11÷14).
I walked up to the deli and there was nobody waiting. The girl behind the counter was mopping and did not acknowledge me even though she clearly saw me. Finally, she put the mop in the dirty mop bucket and walked directly to me. When I said never-​mind and she gave me a dirty look; I said that I was a germ-​a-​phobe and that she did not wash her hands after mopping.
She then said (somewhat snootily) that she would wash her hands «If I wanted her to». She would be doing me a favor that is… no thanks. Some people get it and some people don’t. There are 3 other supermarkets within 2 miles of that place… Bye Albertson’s.

I have been shopping at Albertsons since I moved to the area. They offer great customer service and their pharmacy prices are amazing. I have transferred all of the family prescriptions here. They have a free pharmacy discount card and a generic price list for numerous medicines. I was getting my prescriptions filled at CVS but they were way too expensive. I beg you to see how much money can be saved here at Albertson’s. You will be pleased!

This is a good Albertsons producr is fresh and they have good selections. Staff is helpful and they are easy to find if you need help. parking is convenient with the lot. They have a starbucks and chinese food restaurant inside. Cashier and friendly and make conversation with the customers and they seem to enjoy their jobs.

Alright… Alright ALRIGHHHHT!
i work pretty close to this joint, and might i say…
im here about 1nce every week to say the Least…
Let me start with their fabulous choice in my regular lunch special, which i enjoy every week… wont state the name because they might raise the price!
This place continues to deliver to me the BEST deal in lunch in regards to $/​Quality/​Health.
ALSO! if youll promise to keep this between you and me they have Great specials on brew (Singles) which is lovely around the… uhh… Noon Time… Shhh to go with the lunch special.
Granted the portions do vary depending on whose serving its always a value no matter.
They also have a build your own six pack deal with an awesome selection.
Great store with good service and great quality.
Give it a whirl!

The staff is always super nice and friendly here. I just had a random wine tasting here on Friday (?!) but the space is clean and organized with good variety. I think the customer service here stands out most here, good job everyone!

Clean. Quiet. Organized. Fresh Produce. Good costumer service. Safe area. Great place to go shopping!

Wow! I have never been to this store but my husband always loves coming here. I tend to go to the TJ or Vons in Los Altos but was at the dental office down the street and stopped for some quick dinner items and my goodness!
Was super impressed by this store! It is huge, clean and an extra star for having kiddie shopping carts to keep the 5 year old busy while Mommy was shopping.
Their fruit section is FANTASTIC! They are a little pricey but it has been three days and the sliced fruit is still good so I will gladly pay more for better quality!

This is definitely one of the better Big Box grocery stores around, as they do have a decent selection of Organic and non-​GMO foods, but they could definitely do better in this area. I rarely buy any groceries at the Big Box places, but when I need to, this is my go-​to store. If they could get some organic cheeses and more organic fruits and veggies it would be fantastic! Overall the store is clean, and there is usually no line, as there is hardly ever anyone in the store. Sometimes it feels like they are open just for me. It kind of makes me wonder how they stay in business…

Great customer service, clean and they have a starbucks inside. I placed a rather large order a month ago and misplaced my original receipt. When i went back to the starbucks, the cashier was unable to pull it up. However, the manager was able to go into his archival system and pull the receipt. Appreciate them going out of their way. Only negative is the parking lot at times…

Poor customer service… Louis the manager is disrespectful to customer.

I like this Albertsons. It used to be a Lucky store for the longest time.
It’s a very big store in comparison to other stores I’ve been to. I like that it has a small Bank of America ATM machine inside. A Starbucks kiosk, Coinstar Machine, Red Box DVD rental and a Chinese fast food resto complete the rest of this grocery store. It has the usual deli, pharmacy and floral department along with meat and produce section. So nothing really more out of the ordinary.
It’s a pretty clean store. And if I don’t want to check out at a regular register, I can go through self check out. I almost forgot my $ 18 and some cents change when I did the self check out. But good thing I remembered and was able to run back into the store to retrieve it. Whew! That Dr. Pepper almost became a $ 20 drink! So don’t forget your change.
I like that they offer you stickers to collect when you spend over $ 10 increments of grocery. A coworker of mine was able to collect a bunch and got a skillet. That’s one pricey skillet because she needed 60 tix for it but she did put it into perspective and told me that she’s spending it at the store anyways so she’s getting a small reward for it. Makes sense. I now am collecting those stickers. So if you don’t need it, I’ll gladly take yours.
They recently had an incentive for buying GCs, for every $ 100 gift cards you buy Albertsons will give you $ 20 store coupon for groceries only. Hey not bad. Its the gift that keeps giving. Wifey bought a lot of GCs for gifts this year.
Parking can get a little busy and the driveway closest to the front of the store is pretty steep so watch your speed when entering cuz you’re guaranteed to bottom out. Learn from my experience.
So I’m definitely a fan!

I have to agree with Daniel O. on this one. This particular Albertsons is one of the best grocery stores around. It has great lighting, always very clean and organized and you can’t beat the staff. This is not even my neighborhood market, but I certainty come here a lot. I have come here with my kids and people will come out of nowhere with a coupon for a free cookie or banana, I even saw Santa pop out of an aisle and offer to take down my daughter’s Christmas wish! This Albertsons is really something special. And you can’t beat the location… right next to Grounds! My only complaint is that the fruit is not the best here, I go to sprouts or the farmer’s market for fruit.

Very clean, newly remodeled store. Employees are great, in fact, they act like neighbors. If something’s wrong with pricing or the product, they fix it right away and just out of inconvenience, make it up to you.
This would warrant a four-​star review, but one thing stood out to me that persuaded me to tack on one extra star:
One of the workers looks like Ben from LOST (played by Michael Emerson). No joke. I was walking through an aisle and looking at the fine selection of bread when out of the corner of my eye, I saw him. Immediately I wanted to call out to Sawyer and Jack, but realized that it would be a mistake since Ben’s «others» might be lurking in the next aisle over. I quickly made my selection (grabbed a high-​fiber loaf) and walked away… I glanced around to see if Kate was there so I could ask her out (and tell her that the island is just a complicated sham), but I couldn’t spot her.
In the end, I checked out, looked back and saw Ben standing there, working, pretending he’s off the island… but we all know… you can’t escape the island.

Wow! I love this albertsons. I have been shopping here since I had to involuntarily move to long beach back in 2003.
The newly remodeled look as of a year or so is very nice. I feel like I am shopping in a very fancy Bristol Farms, but without the Bristol Farms prices. The lighting is so modern.
During the holidays it smells just like the holidays should smell throughout the store! Like cinnamon! They sell these cinnamon broom thingies, and as soon as you walk in, you are hit with a one– two cinnamon punch! Ilove it!
In the summer, this is the best place to cool down if only for a moment while you shop.
The aisles are always clean. Food is always in it’s place and well organized. Everything is always where it should be.
Parking is great… for ME! Because I always park as far and away as I can from all the chaos of the other cars and people in the lot closest to the burger place. Otherwise, the new parking lot in the front, can get kinda hectic.
Keep in mind that this is a small albertsons, at least compared to the other ones I have seen, and specially compared to the one in my hometown of whittier, but I’m used to it now. The employees are also friendly, and kind.
The only downfall to this store, which I guess is not really their fault but my own, is that we like to go shopping really late at night. Yeah, I hate crowds, and people in general, so for our weekly shopping trip, every two weeks, we shop around 8 or 9, and by then all the good romaine lettuce and good cilantro is gone. Bur other than that, this albertsons is awesome, and I love shopping here… really late at night… during the day, that is another story.
You got Milliken HS right up the street so you will definitely encounter a LOT of traffic and teenagers roaming about this shopping center, so pick your poison. I have, and it is a sweet, sweet, crowd free, late night poison.mmmmh.
