Albertsons

I have been going to this Albertsons since I moved to Texas 15 years ago. It is not my go to grocery store but it is convenient and that is what keeps me coming back. Unfortunately, after my experience today, (12÷20÷15 around 3:30pm) I will not be returning. It had nothing to do with my own experience but with the way I saw one of the employees (I believe her name tag said Dena) treat one of the customers. Completely yelling at an older gentleman for coming to her 5 items or less checkout lane when he had 10 items. Making a scene and embarrassing the gentleman. After she agreed to check the gentleman out, she shoved her way to his cart and began slamming his items down on the table in frustration. While Dena needed an extreme attitude adjustment, the most disheartening part of the entire situation was that there were a couple other employees standing around and not one of them intervened. Even the nice lady who checked me out couldn’t help but stare. I have seen Dena at this Albertsons several times (I have even been in her line before) and every time I see her, she is overwhelmingly unfriendly. I can not believe someone like this can keep their job.

We are in this store frequently because of the convenience of its location. The employees that work here are always very nice, very friendly. HOWEVER. what is up with this store and products with EXPIRED DATES on store shelves and in refrigerator and freezer bins!!! I have reached a point that I am afraid to put ANYTHING in my basket without verifying the date! Found two more items this morning, purchased two days ago, that I failed to check in the store, and must now take back. On three or four different visits to the store I have pointed out to store personnel items that I came across that were expired and needed attention. Twice it was meat/​pork products; another time I looked through eight cans of biscuits before finding one not expired; another time fruit juices… which is what I have now to take back!!! (The one I opened this morning– purchased day before yesterday is expired by THREE WEEKS) When we first started shopping here, we were not experiencing this problem… quality seems to have changed/​deteriorated in the last year or so. Hate to have to write a negative review, but perhaps it will get someone’s attention for improvement.

The grocery store is not so bad for being, well, Albertsons. The pharmacy experience was really bad. There is a clerk there who seems to like playing the pill Nazi. We waited over 90 minutes for a prescription that we went to try to pick up 2 times but he needed more information that he had neglected to ask for. There were several other customers similarly frustrated by long delays and out of stock drugs that they had waited on.

I wish there was a separate listing just for the pharmacy and not the whole store as this review is for the pharmacy only. I have been a customer for more than 10 years. Its like visiting with family when I go in, catching up with whats going on with everyone. Some of the medications I get are unusual and the pharmacy manager makes sure to always keep them in stock for me. The staff are always ready to help i f you have an insurance problem, often coming up with a less expensive alternative. I even get my flu shot there and didn’t have a copay thanks to my insurance.

I usually go to this place when I am trying to look for sales with brisket meats or pork ribs that show up in their weekly ad. Otherwise, the price is okay like any other Albertsons here in Texas. The staff is friendly. The only issue I have is that they still use the old school check out and no self check out. Its nice to have someone there but its also nice to have these self check outs for quick items… because when its busy… its really busy in there. Otherwise, I have no issues.

Really nice Albersons. All of the employees greeted us as we walked through the store. The store was very clean, and the product that we looked at was all fresh. Albertsons is hit and miss on pricing. You need to check the circular for sure. They have been crushing Kroger on meat specials recently, and their meat is better grade normally. Other product is typically high when not on sale.

I would not recommend this store to anyone. Service was bad and checkers are absolutely rude. Seems like they don’t like their job. I will honestly never go back to this location!

Overcharged. Then told customer service may not help me since the lobby was closed. Unbelievable.

I stop here often especially for «some» of their specials. I have a couple of thoughts though about stopping this week. The store ad had a terrific price on a 10 pound box of cherries. I went in to purchase and notice the box was sealed and you could not see what was in the box. I ask a woman in the produce section about the product and was told they had to keep the box sealed as customers would eat the cherries. I advised her I wanted to purchase but not until I looked to see what I was purchasing. She reluctantly oped the box and I immediately noticed the cherry was bruised. A good percentage of the cherries would not have been eatable. I advised her I did not want the product and she stated she saw nothing wrong with the cherries. She should definitely should not be working in the produce department.

I’m not trying to berate the place too much, but this place really is a dump. I only shop here when I absolutely have to. If you just need to pick up something frozen to nuke, fine. But meat/​produce… you need to go elsewhere.

Well, nothing to brag about here. It’s a simple grocery store without the frills. It’s an ok place to go grab a quick set of food items, or maybe to do a full grocery shopping trip if you dont wanna drive too far out of the way.

Not the best grocery store, but it is quick & convenient. We haven’t had a problem with the produce, but we really do just get the basics here. Usually end up at another grocery store the following week.
Their roasted store brand turkey is really good.

I’ve never really been impressed with this place, and have been going there since the mid-80’s. There is no rhyme or reason for the way their groceries are laid out, and there’s always been a weird smell going on from the meat counter running all the way to the pharmacy. Their grocery selection sucks compared to other stores in the area, but their prices are also cheaper. If you’re looking for the basic necessities, yeah, it’ll probably work. But for anything else, you’re probably better off at the Kroger up the road at Custer & Park, or the Tom Thumb in Richardson at Custer & Renner.

Not a great grocery store. Most of the other Albertsons I have been to in the area are much better. Meat prices are good on occasion. Pretty poor selection of groceries overall at this one. Strangely though they have a great haircare section. Lots to choose from there. Meat dept is okay but not great. I used to buy my Parmesan reggiano here but they recently stopped carrying it, now just romano and asagio. There are definitely a lot of other places in the area with a much better selection.
