I recently started shopping again at this Albertsons this past summer. I haven't had any of the negative issues that some others have experienced. Everytime I have shopped here the store has been clean, well stocked with everything I was looking for, and the produce has looked fresh. I usually shop after 4:00p and I have never had a long wait in line and the cashiers have always been super friendly and helpful. When I started shopping at the store again, I met one of the managers named Carlos Parraga when they were having a customer appreciation event. They had free snacks and drinks for any customers coming in. I actually won one of the prizes they were raffling off! Carlos was very interested in my shopping experience and I could tell he wanted to do everything possible to make his store a top notch grocery store. Thanks for making me feel appreciated for my business and I hope you have more customer appreciation days! read more

Decided to head to Albertsons in Escondido at 6:15 pm tonight in hopes that I could pick up 50 pieces to celebrate a very special occasion. Having worked for Albertsons in the past, I had grown accustomed to excellent service from them. When I got to the service deli, I was told by a young woman working there that there was a requirement for advanced notice on orders that large. Cool, I get it. I didn't put up a fuss. The clerk then proceeded to tell me that the maximum amount of chicken I could order was 32 pieces. I said ok. She then told me the maximum was 24. That was not a typo! The maximum number was dropping right before my eyes! I had no choice but to accept what she gave me. I understand the need of having enough in stock to keep other customers happy but why not just give me the additional wait time and allow me to buy more than 24 pieces? I was waiting for her to drop that number to 16. She literally turned down a potential sale. I had the time to wait but she didn't seem interested in helping me. So, I had to complete my order at Popeyes (gross) because I did not want to drive all the way to San Marcos to pour more money into Albertsons. I'm disappointed and likely won't go back. Let this be a lesson. Do not expect exceptional customer service. I was left desiring more. This is not your parent's Albertsons anymore. read more

Kora from deli saved the day!! I realized that I didn't have enough food for my son's party. I went to the deli to ask if they're able to help me place an order a croissant sandwich platter. Given that the party was less than 15 hours away. I didn't know that we are supposed to give at least 24 hours noticed. (My fault) Kora assured me that she was able to help. She totally put me at ease instantly. She took my order and sent me on my way. Following day, with my terrible planning, I had to pick the food up much sooner than my 10 am pick up time. Of course she had it ready. She is one amazing lady! Thank you, Kora! Thank you so much for keeping me calm and taking my order! You are awesome!! read more

I visit this location a couple times a month. It is always clean. The people who work there are friendly if you ever have questions. The prices are typically very fair. The seafood quality is excellent!! The buy one, get one deals are a bit of a scam (hence the 4 stars) since they jack up the prices to nearly $10.00 a pound....I learned that lesson once. read more

Once in awhile you come across someone who truly takes pride in their work. Albertson's bakers exceeded my expectations with the beautiful cake they created for my son's birthday. I looked online from downtown San Diego to Escondido and had no luck finding something this unique. Running out of time I told my husband to just order what he thought my son would like. I think my face lit up as much as his! This cake was boutique bakery quality, beautiful and delicious! If I could give you more than five stars I would! Thank you for making my son's day extra special! read more

SO RUDE! Must have to be Mexican to get any courtesy, especially from Rosie. She was extremely rude to me but then very polite and helpful to the people online who are Mexican. That is not how I would expect to get treated at Albertson's read more

Had to do a late night run to Albertsons and the security guard was the worst. I knew that they would be closing shortly and he also let me know loudly. It felt like he was shaming me for even coming in. I knew that I should have gone earlier but I had just gotten out of work and could not go in earlier and it was super urgent. I felt bad for going in so late and he made me feelworse. No joke I got there at 10:49 left at 10:55. I knew I wasn't going to take that long but he did not care. The women at the register was super nice though. Would not recommend coming here. Security Gaurd even told me "you don't even know what we go through" as I was going into the store. So unprofessional!!! I even told him what I came to do and that it was gonna be quick. Then I realized that I didn't have to explain myself to him and he shouldn't have even made me feel bad in the first place. read more

Super rude cashiers... went in today around 6 and shopped. Went to the express lane since I had less than 15 items and the young male cashier was rude and my boyfriend had to bag our groceries because he couldn't be bothered. I won't be coming back to this location again, it's annoying to be around half-assers. read more

Carlos (manager) was very helpful this morning with a balloon crisis I had! Thanks a lot for your help! Super friendly and super clean store! read more

Update: I tried 2 other pharmacies and nothing compared. I drive from RB to come to this pharmacy when we have prescriptions.

This Albertsons is not in the best part of town. The wierdos the loiter in front are strange. However there are quite a few pros: 1. Starbucks inside! 2. Great selection of name brand products 3. Large selection of meat and fish 4. Store is kept very clean 5. Fast self-checkout 6. Decent liquor selection for a grocery store Some of the bad things are: 1. They are not open 24 hr 2. Expensive 3. Again the shady people in and around Albertsons read more

If you're ever in need of a Cake designer...see Tony! He did a wonderful job on my daughter's sweet sixteen two tier cake, sheet cake and cupcakes. The job was done beautifully and reasonably! Thanks Tony! Celina read more

This review is specifically for Tony in the bakery. He is an absolute God send!!! He was the hero of the day today. My daughter bought a cake from someone on "Escondido Friends" from Facebook. Paid for the cake a week in advance, and the final product was absolute crap. My wife went to Tony and gave him about 10 minutes notice and he worked a miracle. He stopped everything he was doing to make sure my granddaughter had an awesome cake for her birthday. If you're looking for an awesome cake, seriously, go see Tony in the bakery. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

I've shopped at Albertsons for years but recently all the prices have skyrocketed to be not only out of my budget but I'm actually insulted! How can they sell coffee at twice the price? Also the meat counter at this store smells so horrible that it makes beach bathrooms desirable. I'm done with this store. read more

I love this Albertsons, I have been going here since I was in 2nd grade when it first opened. Many of the employees have changed over the years, but there are also the trusty and true who I love to see whenever I visit! When my wedding came around in December, I knew that I needed a piece of Albertsons in it and I decided to go to the cake master, Tony, in bakery for my wedding cake! My cake was MORE delicious looking than I could have ever imagined and it tasted decadent AND it only cost me $31!!! My videographer (who has done weddings all over San Diego) said it was the best looking cake he's ever seen at a wedding! See the pictures and decide for yourself! We froze it and ate it two months later and it was still as amazing as our wedding night! Thank you Tony and the rest of the Albertsons family for making all my grocery shopping a blast over the years! read more

Rudest guy in register 3. Never said hi, made me load my own groceries and didn't say by or have a nice day. It was more like I was bothering him. Not coming back. Was a repeat customer for years. read more

I went there in the morning, at about and was looking for a small cart and couldn't find any available to me. It was raining and the employee Raymond R went outside to get me one and even sanitized for me. He was really nice and is the reason I will be coming back! read more

Why is there always only two lanes open. Doesn't matter how many people are in the lines. Doesn't matter if it's during a busy time. Only ever two lines open. Why. I don't understand. EDIT: I'd just like to say the majority of the checkers there are very kind and helpful. Still gotta get your ish together when it comes to opening more lanes. read more

Cheers to Keith, met him at the register. He was very welcoming and went above his duties to give great customer service!

I normally do not review grocery stores- but the people that work here are ALWAYS helpful and kind.

Although a lot of their items are over priced, I do have to say that their bakery and especially their blueberry muffins are delicious! Bravo Albertsons read more

This is my go to weekly grocery store and I love shopping here. I know the checkers and they are all first rate. This review is of the pharmacist from South Africa only. I had interactions with him in the past which were fine. On my last visit to the store he erupted in an anger outburst at me that was prolonged, unprovoked and severe. It was an upsetting experience and I will not return to the store because of it, which makes me sad because I like the store. Beware of this pharmacist. I was shocked by his strange behavior. read more

First off if anyone needs a custome cake. See tony he is amazing and really pays attention to detail I have used many high end bakeries and his work is far superior read more

Blanca was amazing! She was such a sweetheart and put a lot of passion into our short transaction. Makes the shopping experience great!

Newer, tidy store with lots of selection. Pros: meat department They go out of their way to accommodate customers. When they were out of the chicken thighs at the counter (the $1.99 special), they provided the prepackaged thighs instead. AND they recalculated the cost so I would pay the $1.99 price. They could have just issued a rain check or told me to come back the next day. Instead, they made me a happy customer! Cons: cashiers C'mon, please use the quantity key. No point having everyone wait while scanning the same difficult- to-scan bottle ten times. Argh! read more

If looking for a delicious and beautiful cake just ask for Tony he is outstanding very creative and is hands on the best baker I've ever met read more

Hello. I'm writing this because this store not only has a horrible work environment for the employees but even for us customers. A manger there named Blanca is nothing but rude to her employees even as we wait in line. Also have had more than one time where cashiers said they were going to quit just because of this manager always making work more like a place to suffer than to honestly get the work done. I can't see how they can deal with an environment that seems nothing but hostile from the outside. I feel that this store should be looked in to for numerous reasons by the City, County, State and federal regulators who deal with this kind of thing. This work environment is horrible the way they treat employees and costumers. This is not expectable standers to be working or living by. This store is unprofessional and lackluster at very best and must be addressed before someone much more important steps in to fix it. Get on it on this before someone reaches out to someone to fix for you! read more

The cashier Brooks today was the worst service we have ever had at this store. He rung up our $200 of groceries, and bagged them really bad. Then he told us to put them in our cart. I didn't not know this was our job. He was pretty rude. read more

I usually shop at Vallarta because they have everything I need at affordable prices...one day I decided to try Albertsons. 2 things happened: 1. The same brands I usually buy were there, same sizes and everything, but were nearly $3 more, some items were worse! GROSSLY OVER-PRICED! No wonder the store was virtually empty. I'd estimate that there were 5 people shopping there, including me! That was convenient but the prices WERE NOT. 2. There was only 1 lane open, had 2 customers in it, so I decided to use the self checkout. I've used self checkouts a million times, never really had a problem until THIS DAY. The machine kept telling me that I had an unexpected item in the bagging area, but I did not. Everything that was in the bag had already been scanned and rang up. The man who was standing there, the employee, just stood there and watched me. Didn't offer any assistance at all. So after about 2 minutes of trying to get the machine to work I grabbed all my stuff in the bagging area and took it over to the lane that was open. At that point the employee from the self checkout came to me and said "oh did you want to cancel all this over here?" I said "yes go ahead and cancel it the machine is giving me problems." He said to me "all it's asking is how you want to pay for your items." I said "yeah maybe now it's asking that, but for 2 minutes straight it was saying something else and I was trying to figure out the unexpected item in the bagging area and you just stand there and watch me with no help at all." So I cancelled all his self check out garbage, checked out at the lane and left. I was two seconds away from punching this guy in the face. He had a major attitude problem too. Albertsons sucks and so does the guy at the self checkout. NEGATIVE STARS! Between the prices & customer service it's a wonder that they're still in business read more

This is my go to grocery store. The lines are short the checkers are friendly, things can be pricier than other grocery stores, but the short lines make up for it. Convenience trumps a couple of cents everyday in my book. Keep up the good work alby team read more

Clean, well stocked location. Employees are very friendly and cashiers move the lines along at a good rate. The downside is I feel the set up is a bit awkward. read more

This is an awesome albertsons and the manager she is great with customer service.

I would have to say this is probably the grocery store I prefer to use as opposed to Ralph's or Vons.. They are pretty clean at this particular location and generally you don't have to wait in a crazy long line. Helpful staff and a lot of places nearby it. read more

Your typical mismanaged store. Never no more than 2 check out stands open, and cashiers are incapable of telling customer age and card everyone when buying alcohol. Use your brain, be alert, not asleep. No longer a customer. I'm 55, not cool to having to show ID! read more

This place has the worst customer service at the checkout than any place I've ever seen and rude cashiers no one wants to help you but I have to say the people at the deli are awesome except the lady forgot to put the lid on tight on my salad so when I got to the register and fell over in my bag so I tried to clean it up while I was at the register and all the young girl could say was ma'am you're not supposed to bring bags inside I said I think I have a bigger issue here do you have any napkins and she was so rude to me she said let me stop my line and turn off my light and let me get it just the way she talked to me I didn't mean to bring my bag but I had it in my purse cuz some stores let you use your bags and bags of food yourself and then she spent even longer wiping it down Andre bag and everything for me but before I even got to her ask for two people at the self-checkout to help me and nobody would help me I just stood there and waited people ignore you there it's horrible and I am a quality control inspector I'm very disappointed and from the reviews apparently so are many others retrain your people especially the younger kids to talk nice to people I'm a senior read more

Worst grocery store ever. At least Vons offers sales for beers and other stuff. The produce items are old and overpriced, and the meat sucks. Do you like Jalapeños for $1.99/lb? Cilantro for $1.00/bunch? Then this is your place. read more

This use to be my favorite starbucks, but lately it take almost 20 minutes to get a drink. There training new people , but they need to realize when the line gets longer than 5 people they need to switch. read more
