I guess this a joint Albertsons and California DMV review. I tried to go pay my car registration at the local AAA office but forgot that they accept cash, check, or credit card only. I didn't have cash but had my debit card which they would not take. I was told Albertsons has a kiosk to pay there and get the registration. I was pleasantly surprised that the machine was there and working. It took a total of 5 minutes to do the whole thing which is a lot less time it takes at the actual DMV or AAA. Thanks for the assist. read more

This is a bunk butt Albertsons lol Outside, totally fine and normal looking Albertsons. At first look inside, it all just appears to be under temporary construction. Some seemingly normal, temporary, remodeling. No, no. This construction and remodeling has shown itself to actually be permanent. It's a sad sap of an Albertsons in the local area, which already seem to be sub par to any other local grocery chain. For real, dramatics aside, this Albertsons is basically half full with entire missing aisles lol read more

Searched high and low for the new high protein Doritos I saw on TikTok and finally struck gold! I had given up hope and was preparing to leave the store until I spotted them! Original nacho is my favorite Dorito flavor so I only purchased the nacho cheese but the protein variety also comes in BBQ flavor. The store was well stocked overall but most importantly, plenty of high protein Doritos! read more

We bought a tray of hoagie sandwiches for a party they were delicious, fresh and included condiments

I found this really cool ice cream that looked like a peach and was pretty good! I love that this Albertsons has Asian candy and snacks. There is also a Pokémon machine here! Nice workers and pretty well organized store as well! read more

I have done drive up & go, along with delivery. Will the employee who shopped my items was such a gem. There is a chat option & they communicated w/me on what was not available in a kind manner. I've used a few other stores but I'll keep this store as my #1 Thank you read more

I really don't have too many negative things to say about this Albertsons just one thing I wanted to point out. They like to make up their own times for when their lottery machine is down. I've come here before late around 9:30 and have cash tickets before many times but when they don't feel like doing it, they'll just say unfortunately the machine is down.. I have also been here on Sundays and have no problem cashing tickets but when it's a certain individual, they'll say the machine is down. Not that big of a deal, but just something that I wanted to point out. Best to take your ticket somewhere else. read more

Took a while to get recognized by the deli staff. I was the only one there at 6:30 pm. Asked the server if the food was burnt was told not. Took a picture just in case I was overreacting. Not a busy place considering the time I was here. read more

Albertsons - Asked if they were burnt was told no. - Grocery Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Every time I go to this location, I shop around and would like to check out the Pokemon machine. However, there's constantly a group of people waiting there despite the machine clearly stating that loitering is not allowed. When I try to tap it, they tell me that there is a line and they block the machine so I cannot tap it; even though loitering is not permitted. When I spoke to a manager named Karim, he said that many people complained about the people who wait at the machine, but they are not "the Pokemon police." This is unfair to all the customers who do not have the time to wait all day. read more

I've always been a fan this grocery store. They have a large produce section with a local and organically grown area. They also have a ready-made food counter serving finger-licking fried chicken and other main dishes, tons of sides, and a great bakery. I love their brand packaged chocolate chips cookies. Always soft and delicious! They also display the new items by the registers. This weeks is Coca-Cola Oreos, and Oreo Coke. Mind blown! Plus you can usually save $1 on many items with their rewards program. I just did on a dozen organic eggs. Love it! Love it all! read more

Albertsons - Oreo Coke & Coke Oreos??!!? - Grocery Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Cashier, Leah, rang up 12 $5 items totalling $60. Display showed running total at $72+. Informed cashier, who had no idea what I was talking about, saying it was tax. Explained that would be 20%+ tax. She still looked blank, gave some attitude, & asked if she should call the manager. Manager also didn't seem to see the issue. Then cashier started over, rang them up, & running total was corrected. Cashier then lied to manager, staying total was same as before (with more attitude). Called her out, asking how she didn't see the difference between $72 & $65. More attitude; pathetic. Not the first time I've had similar experiences at this location. read more

What I bought Just tonight .:: do not buy food here without checking carefully.. you will get sick I kept on throwing up and have my friend came back the manager look at her like he is not sorry at all .. tell her she has to come back tomorrow.. what kind of customer service is that ? read more

My Mom and brother stopped by to get a quick cake. Unfortunately they dealt with the poor customer service by the hispanic girls working at the bakery. We need management to check them out. How could they be rude and get away with it? Perhaps related read more

This Albertsons is hands down the best albertsons ive ever been to, it has nothing to do with pricing or product. it is the staff. everyone from the cashier, meat section delai and especially the bakery. My son really wanted garlic bread and the ladies at the bakery overheard. they told him they were out but they'd go back amd make him a fresh one. we waited about 5 minutes and they brought ot out for him. he was so happy. Thank you Bri and Ashley!!! your kindness did not go unnoticed and I hope the management knows how good you are and that you go the extra mile for the customers. WE APPRECIATE YOU! read more

I have been an Albertson shopper for over 30 years. This current location is my home store for over 15 yrs. All the employees are very friendly, helpful and always greet you with a smile! I have ordered cakes only from Albertsons for the past 40 yrs and let me say they don't disappoint at all! My Albertsons also has a Starbucks! Everyone behind this counter will always greet you with a smile and make your coffee just the way you like it and let me say I'm 1 of the pickiest customers when it comes down to placing my order for a Mocha Frappuccino! I love my Albertsons Michele Williams FV CA read more

They are open on Thanksgiving! Goto Albertsons they have ton of the organic produce. Clean store and staff is friendly!

tl,dr: Super convenient grocery store for me. Likes: + Found just what I needed: an assorted fruit bowl. + Huge parking lot. Located just across Brodard in the same plaza. This is very convenient for me, because that means I can grab good food from Brodard as well as any extra items from Albertsons all from the same plaza before heading to my potlucks. + Also conveniently located just across the street from Mile Square Park. Easy to prepare for picnics. Neutral: . decent amount of shoppers here. Not too crowded; I was able to quickly grab what I needed, waited just a few min for the next available cashier, then I was outta there. read more

Overpriced, rude staff (cus they're understaffed which is plain to see). Worker behind the deli yelling at me with her back turned that the deli is closed when I'm just looking and haven't asked for anything. Leaving the building putting the cart back and getting yelled at by the lot worker that THEY'RE DIFFERENT SIZES and then trying to mutter under his breath while I can hear him. Sorry I tried to help for 3 seconds. I can drive a little further to a different store. Will never come back here and can say with the prices and the rest of my experiences I don't see a reason you should either. read more

I came here to shop. I asked Daniel to put my laundry items on the self check-out counter to be able to go to the bathroom quickly. A worker named Ashley did not let me talk to Daniel and yelled at me -- even though I was not talking to her. As soon I as started recording she stopped yelling and started to speak quietly. She kept speaking to me even though I clearly did not want to. She is very strange, unprofessional and maintains bad service. Ashley has yelled at customers many times I have been at this Albertsons location. She thinks she's the boss. read more

I was shopping for a few things off the weekly ad. I had a few minutes so checked on the hint water to see if they have the Georgia peach in yet. I see that the 12 packs of water had been placed in the shelving of the loose bottles, and the signage said 10 / $10. The 12 packs are usually stocked on the lower shelf. I took pictures of the error and went to the front to ask for a manager was told the assistant was in charge at that time. She came to the front, and I told her I want to take advantage of a lazy employees stocking. Right away she said that the signs must be in the wrong place. I told her no its the merchandise that was stocked wrong. She sees it and right away says a customer must have put them there. That does not set right with me I was in retail 25 + years. I could see that these were placed by and employee because the shelves were front faced. She started moving things around and it showed the trash that was pushed back behind the waters. It annoys me greatly that the 1st thing is to blame customers. I told her that I will contact corporate to let them know the store needs help with guidance and training. Obviously, management doesn't check the store as they should. Even if this was a customer rearranging their shelves they should know if the managers walked the store every few hours. I as a customer knew as soon as I walked the isle the stocking was wrong. Management needs to own it and take responsibility for the employees taking short cuts. The store and employees are only as good as the management. If the managers are lazy why shouldn't the employees follow the example. The store location on Westminster and Goldenwest is great the managers are always in the front never hiding in the back. They are there to take the responsibility of the employees positive and negative actions. read more

The cashier on Checkout Aisle 1 today 10/24/25 at 3:25pm is consistently the worst. I try to give the benefit of the doubt, maybe a bad day here and there, but I come here a few times a week and dread any time she's the cashier of the only open checkout aisle. Bad attitude, seems like she doesn't want to be there, complains about workload to the guests, throws food across the counter, reaches in bags and touches fruit and veggies with her hands often. Her hands always look gross and she's handling cash, double gross. The guest experience absolutely tanks when she's checking guests out. read more

Ok this place has low ratings but I really think it deserves better. Sure the floors aren't as sparkly as newer grocery stores or Amazon swanky like Whole Foods but this Albertsons has been here since my parents moved to SoCal in the late 90s and it's more stable than many marriages in the area. There hasn't been a time where we needed to get something and they didn't have it at Albertsons. Even on holidays they are open for those last minute forgets. The produce is fresh and I haven't seen such vibrant greens. The workers are always helpful and friendly. Parking is pretty ample and there's also a Starbucks to the left as you enter. This plaza has changed a lot over the last 25 years and I'm grateful the Albertsons anchors this strip mall. read more

Albertsons - Fresh produce always - Grocery Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Albertsons on Durango and Flamingo the bakery department customer service was excellent. We order our grandson's birthday cake and cupcakes, Toy Story theme, awesome job! On time and very reasonable pricing, cake was delicious...too sugary but kids love sugar. My husband tried to tip the baker only to find out that Albertsons has a policy of absolutely no tipping or they could lose the job if tip accepted. Funny that we go thru a drive thru at any fast food place and the first thing you see is a tipping jar for what??? To hand you over your order which many times is not even accurate, yet Albertsons bakery team doing an awesome job if the customer desires to tip them they can't ..... read more

Terrible!! I always shop at Albertsons! I was treated by the chubby with glasses butcher like a thief when i literally returned the meat to the fridge He was following us weirdly through out the store then walked all the way to the door when we were leaving and asked us in front of everyone " what happened to the meat " as if we stole it I told him i returned it to the fridge, he said " can you show me " I walked back to the fridge to throw it at his face and he was following me embarrassingly until I proved it to him, he had a stupid look because he was wrong Then he took it back and walked back Never ever shopping there again! It's not my problem the all your meat look sadly old and dry AF! You guys should be ashamed of selling people old brown meats! This store should be closed for good! Never ever going back there! Disgusting and disappointed! I will not let that go! I'm calling someone to check the meat! This is dangerous to even consume! read more

Come on man why are you guys rating this great supermarket so low, it's almost the only one left standing, I remember when I 1st moved to California there were like 8 chains now they all merged n there are now just 2 I think Stater brothers n Kroger which had just bought Vons, Ralph's, Safeway n Lucky etc.. I'm like a tourist here, we eat out almost every night so I rarely shop, I marveled at how beautiful n clean the store was, the Asian stores are just competing on prices, they don't care too much about esthetics. I bought ground beef at Green supermarket to make spaghetti $3 a lb!! $6 at Albertsons! But Green didn't have meatballs so I had to come here. Albertsons also has all kinds of chipotle n Melinda salsa made in Costa Rica. I 1st had Melinda in Costa Rica n loved it, well nobody else had them except right here. Meats are really expensive here, people can't afford groceries anymore but blame the skyrocketing inflation on Brandon not Albertsons! I buy the roast chicken here too, it tastes better than the joke they have at Costco. They deserve 4 stars, I missed the good old days when they used to have a party like atmosphere bbq in front of the store every 4th of July, the best BBQ ever all kinds of meats, support your local supermarket or they will all die n you'd have to get ripped off at Amazon which to me was not a pleasant experience. read more

I've been standing in front of the customer service line for the last 10 mins. This dude, Dan, is standing making balloons and not acknowledging the wait. At least you can do is say I'll be with you in a second and thanks for the wait. Radio silence and this is customer service? You mean no customer service? read more

Disappointed in this Albertsons. They advertise Friday Only Specials and then don't have the item in stock that was just advertised as a Friday Only Special in their weekly ad, specifically, the hot deli! False advertising! read more

I would give less than 1 star. I needed a birthday cake last minute and thought "it can't possibly be as bad as last time". Wrong. 6pm. I wanted a cake from the case and asked an employee if I could have help in the bakery dept. He didn't even look at me and goes "no" and walks away. Bakery dept manage (incredibly rude woman from my precious review) was about 25ft away and with major attitude goes "uh yeah case is closed because I'm up here helping them because they're short staffed." Annoyed I just said "okay" and chose another cake. I turn around and she's glaring at me as my son and I said all to the register. Albertsons should be embarrassed that they have such rude department managers. read more

Had the worst experience in this Albertsons. An employee by the name of Leah was so rude. I spend thousands and thousands of dollars in third store. My boyfriend's currently in the hospital and I'm struggling to survive right now! Any other Ralphs, Whole Foods, mothers even Trader Joe's and sprouts have understood my situation and have give above and beyond to accommodate me in my situation right now, considering how much money I don't at these grocery stores. She was rude the second she realized I was paying with ebt. Let's just ly employees! But don't get me wrong I love this Albertsons and they do have great employees like Luis uu read more

This one-star review is for the overweight lady at the bakery who has provided poor customer service for the past two years. She always has a poor attitude and is rude to customers. When you're kind and respectful to her, she doesn't know how to reciprocate. She has a serious superiority complex. read more

Seriously I haven't seen worse customer service. The bakery lady was going to punch me in the face because I asked politely for a cake. Then, I told the cashier also politely that I don't need the receipt, thank you, she just gave it to me and ignored my request. For the little interaction offered ay a grocery store, they truly have the worst!!! read more

So easy to place an order with the bakery! Called in a couple days prior, ordered a baby's plain white 5" cake for my daughters photoshoot, and to also act as a smash cake, and it was perfect! Sooo affordable as well! It was only $17 for a 5", 3 layer cake. You can even do 4" or 2 layers as well. I called around and many other bakeries only offered 6 inches which I felt was too big for a 12 month old. read more

5/7/24 around 1:07pm Racist white bitch didn't want to sell my wife flowers saying that they didn't have ribbons and tissue paper. A few moments later, she served a white lady who requested the same order and obliged her. I can't believe this is still happening in this day and age. Albertsons needs to do something about this. read more
