99 Cent Only Store

Like Geof said in his review very dishonest .just when you think you’ve found an awesome deal .nope and they don’t care to honor their prices
I saw they had oil there for my car at what I thought was a good deal. when I went to pay the register showed over $ 100 for 30 cans of oil and a few drinks. I asked the cashier about the discrepancy and she just said thats the price, do you want it or not… WTF, I informed her that there was no price on the shelf or anywhere in the area. then i talked to the manager and he didn’t seem to care that there was a price difference either, he said people pay for it anyway. I don’t like to be fooled or deceived by anyone. To me that is very deceptive to not have a price and then you go to the register and are charged 3 times the amount you expect to pay .99 cents. not really

Dirty store inside and outside. Better off going to the one in woodland hills. There are flies all over the fruits. And they won’t allow you to go outside with a basket.

All 99 Cent Only stores are not created equal, either in terms of items stocked or quality of merchandise. Compare the Reseda outlet with the one on Ventura near Winetka. The latter location has much more merchandise, and it is better organized. It also has fresher produce. Recently the Reseda store has allocated even more space to junk food which even at «99.9 cents» is not a bargain. Perhaps this is because the Winetka store is in a more upscale neighborhood. Frankly, I am getting tired of the 99 Cent Stores selling ersatz, faux, fake food items, such as «imitation cheese» (c’mon, give me a break), «guacamole» that contains «less than 2% avocado or onion,» and «lemony pie filling» that consists only of artificial flavoring and «mung beans» or some similar substance. You can almost always find some real, actual cheese (like from cows, not brewed from hydrogenated fats) at Winetka, but only some of the time at Reseda. Fortunately there’s a good reliable Jon’s market a couple of stores down with a fine selection.

Two gallons of milk for 5.38. You cannot find a better price than that even at the grocery stores. One thing that I believe they can improve on is the variety of product that they have. I can’t say quality because you are merely paying $.99 for things so that’s out of the question. However they can also move their lines quicker. It’s rough going in there when all you’re buying is 2 gallons of milk and everybody else and light has a cart full of groceries. The cashier who was helping me did say she was new and in my opinion she handled things quite nicely especially since she had to call management three times over the speaker system for a key to override the customer in front of me and her stuff. I am giving them five stars because I’m able to keep my son and my family fed for really really inexpensive prices.

Disgusting and dishonest.
This evening, I visited the 99 Cents Only Store, #47, in Reseda, CA. I made my way through the store, and, really, most of the fun is gone. Previously, I knew what to expect for 99 cents, and occasionally, I’d find a bargain! Not anymore! If I find something that looks like a bargain, it’s now somehow marked much more than 99 cents, either through a shelf tag, other sign, or a tiny label on the product, or pasted over the bar code. And, if I find a bargain that is clearly marked 99 cents, that doesn’t matter. It too, is probably not 99 cents.
Such was the case tonight. I was shopping, and stumbled upon Old Spice Cruise Control Forming Crème for hair. I looked around, and it was clearly labeled 99 cents on the shelf tag. I congratulated myself on a good find, and put two of the items in my cart.
Upon checkout, I noticed that the price on my two Old Spice items had magically changed to $ 1.99. I pointed this out to the cashier, Yenelin, who asked, «So do you want them or not?» I did want them, but I wanted the proper price. She had to call a «person with the key» to remove the items, but as I wanted them for the clearly marked 99 cents, she had to call a manager. After waiting for approximately 10 minutes, the manager arrived. Cesar Perez, as he told me his name, was the manager, and he was unable to honor the price. While I had been waiting for him to come to the front of the store, I had returned to the aisle with the product and taken a picture, clearly showing the 99 cents price tag directly below the item. I showed this to Cesar, but he just smiled and chuckled, and said that the price was not for the item that I wanted.
I encouraged Cesar to walk back with me to the aisle and see it for himself. He stated emphatically that he did not NEED to do this, as he knew the price was wrong, and was for another item. Again, he smiled, and chuckled, and seemed to get great humor out of the situation. I asked him why he was laughing, and he stated, «Well, I’m not going to get mad over $ 2, so I might as well laugh.»
Cesar refused to give me the price, find me another manager, call a person who could help, go to the aisle to see the price for himself, or do anything useful. He just stood there, chuckling and smiling. He and Yenelin even told the customers waiting in line that I was the reason the line was getting longer.
Eventually, after about 10 minutes of my repeated insistence that the store honor the price noted, he decided I wasn’t going to leave, and, eventually instructed the cashier to remove one of my items from my receipt, effectively giving me the proper price.
This is not the first time I’ve had trouble at this same store, over the same issue. Many times products have not been marked at a higher price, and have wrung up that way. And in fact, I think the company counts on this. They’re hoping that people at the register won’t notice the higher price, or will simply allow it be charged to them. When they raised their prices from 99 cents to 99.9999 cents, as their receipts now say, they claimed that their pricing hadn’t changed in years. But product sizing, and quantity and availability sure did. Now they’re doing it again, and I’m going to speak up.

3pk Velvet hangers for $ 1.07! Seriously, who can beat that deal! Screw my stores like Target and Ross when this is the best deal for these type of hangers. I easily buy 30 packs and rack up on the savings. Hangers do last a long time and they do hold up heavy jackets.
This is actually the only 99cent store that carries these type of hangers. I also come here for my black and white socks.
Only have one problem with this store which I always seem to let go because I’m usually here buying stuff, is that when I’m getting ready to pay there always 3 cashiers and about 15 people in each line. They really not to stop doing that and have cashiers up all the time. Other than that I love this place.

My favorite 99 cent store I can buy some of the cheapest and good things all found here!!!

This store is «A-​OK» — Didn’t find what I needed last visit so went to Big Lots — but most of the time — have the proper selection. Awhile back — while looking for other items at this location — saw a Donald Trump Signature Collection Shirt for $ 3.00 :-)

I’m an avid 99 cent shopper. Shouldn’t we all be? As a manufacturer I understand all too well liquidation and trying to not create consumer waste. The 99 cent store provided an easy way for folks to buy n try or get some basics at a reduced cost.
Any store with that much foot traffic and turnover of product is bound to be dirty. Get over it! If you want whole foods clean then go pay $ 15 for an apple.
The staff here are nice but quiet — gee maybe because they are exhausted? Be nice to them.
Parking — well you can fight the Jon’s crowd or you can go in the back where it’s wide open!
The goods: they have produce. That’s a huge plus. You could literally live on their fresh produce section. Yes you have to check and be careful, but for the most part all is good. As with any produce you wash it before eating.
While this is not my favorite location, it comes in at #2 because of being next to Jon’s.

Most 99 cent stores are ghetto. Some more than others depending on which part of the hood you’re in. This one in particular is one of their locations I would never go to at night alone. Yes, you can find awesome stuff at the 99. You can’t beat finding $ 1 Toblerone, make-​up remover wipes, rabbit food, or other essentials. Just have your hand sanitizer ready to go.

It’s a 99 cent store but has a ton of stuff. I come in here from time to time and haven’t had a bad experience. I don’t like that there are weirdos in front of the store often but they don’t bother me. The lines aren’t that bad and staff is helpful.

I love this 99¢ store but even the 11 different active air fresheners present in the washroom can’t quell my nightmares.

This is my go to 99 cent store, mind you the place is always packed and shots everywhere, but their always well stocked and you feel like your on a mission when you shop there. Jesus candles!

99 cent store… c’mon people really? You get what you pay for…99 cents with on grocery items and more. Really good if you are on a budget and adventurous enough to risk your tastebuds. Lol. Over the store was ok…

Wow, seems like there are some pretty high standards for $.99 stores here. Honestly, it’s no better or worse than any other store of this type. This particular store is a good sized and they actually carry produce. If you come on the right day it is fresh.

This store is very busy but for some reason generally there are not enough workers to take care of customers. The lines are long and the cashiers are very slow. It’s worse if you try to return something.

Yuck!. I agree with the other UnilocalERS this place is DISGUSTINGLY filthy!

I have to agree. the Dirtiest 99 cent only store I’ve been to…
the only good thing about this place is they have a lady making
LA dogs right outside the store…

Probably the most disgusting 99 Cent Store I have ever seen! You don’t need to leave the Valley to experience Tijuana LOL. Sorry if this is snobby, but you will know what I mean if you go there.
