I was helped by the most friendly and pleasant checkout clerk on Tuesday, October 9, 2018 just before closing at about 10:50pm. I had a rather large order and I was anxious about purchasing so much just before closing. I anticipated I might be met by a tired, overworked clerk who wouldn't be so eager to help at this time in the evening, not to mention I had my 4 year-old son with me and he was actively running all over the store. Barbara checked me out and was so nice, I was amazed. She was so polite and positive and conversed with me and my son. She made me feel like I wasn't a burden. She also bagged my large order (using my reusable bags) with the most efficiency and skill I've ever seen. I was so impressed! This was actually my first time shopping at Albertson's with such a large order. I enjoyed it. They had so many items I love and a better selection than I am used to with some of the other markets. (I usually frequent Ralph's / Food 4 Less). THANK YOU BARBARA and Albertson's San Pedro! read more

This location is nice but the wait time is way too long. I usually go to Ralph's but this Albertsons has the granola I like. So the only time I come here is for that specific granola. I'd come more often if the wait time to check out wasn't 4x longer than other grocery stores. Time is of the Essence while on lunch read more

Oh my goodness, so happy there's finally a real Supermarket back in town. I did get used to going to Smart & Final across the street and probably will continue to go to them for a certain items but it's really nice to have this Albertsons back in the neighborhood. Sure their prices are a little higher but what do you expect for a good selection and good variety and good quality? read more

Albertsons - There's Starbuck coffee inside too! - Grocery Near Me - San Pedro, California

The employees here are wonderful, but so long as there is covid I will not be going. Per Albertson's store policy, they do not require a mask that securely covers your nose and mouth. They are allowing people to come into the store with only a face shield. This does not protect the wearer or anyone around them at all. After speaking with corporate I come to find out that this is a company policy and they do not care. I do not feel safe shopping here and will take my business elsewhere. read more

I am always blown away by the people that work here, they are usually very kind and funny. With that being said I will never go to their bakery again. I went this morning and was met by a lovely young lady who was helping me to figure out how many cupcakes to order for the following Saturday for a party. We settled on 48 and I had asked if they could do a lavender, teal swirl so I could later sprinkle them and decor them for a mermaid party. She was very sweet and went to an older lady I'm assuming her boss to see what we could figure out. Within seconds of the other lady came over and she immediately stated she could not do this and they only do 1 color. Before I could even suggest just doing a mismatch and they could be one color she made it known she would not take the order. I am extremely disappointed as they have done many school cupcakes for me prior. I hope this lady was just having a rough day as we all do and does not normally treat people with the such ubruptness and blatant unfriendly attitudeI will say after walking away I grabbed a few items I needed and my bagger and cashier were amazing. I'm not sure if they have new people running the bakery but as I stated I'd rather pay more than ever go back to that lady again. read more

I am a frequent shopper here and have seen this store go from full shelves to empty and back to almost full. I love how hard the clerks are working to move the checkout lines so quickly (even when they wrap around to the dairy section) and are always pleasant and helpful despite the stress they may be feeling about Covid-19 and thier daily contact with people. read more

Really disappointed. Global pandemic. We can't turn around without a notice telling us to stay six feet from each other. This Albertsons has arrows for which way to walk up and down each aisle. Really a shame their own employees doing shopping can't follow any of that. Went at least two different aisles and store employee, nametag (karen) and apron on. Went the wrong way. Okay, I don't care but if I am looking at cereal why stand next to me? Same with another aisle, went wrong way and stood practically shoulder to shoulder while I looked on a shelf. Crowded me at check out too. Why would an employee think she is about this virus or about her own store rules? I don't want any question of was she shopping for a customer krputting items back...NO! She had a purse in the basket. Was buying for herself. I am not happy. It is attitudes like hers that make this distancing go on forever if people like her can't even follow her own company policies! read more

Who wants Chicken!!! I did until I stood in line and waited ..when I finally got to the front of the line the young lady helping ask what I wanted I told her the family deal..while she is getting the coleslaw. The taller lady working there ask the customer behind me what she wanted of course the family chicken deal/ meal thing..while my lady is taking forever with the coleslaw the tall lady starts on the person after me ..so now the chicken is gone..I'm told to wait 15mins or pick a couple dry pieces that are there...ummm no thanks!!..what happened to first come ,first served ..I have to wait after you gave the person behind me all the chicken..you dont communicate very well to each other...They don't wear gloves either ..Albertsons your deli dept sucks. The check out guy was nice that's why you get two stars. read more

Love this store! It's always well-stocked and clean. Most of the employees are very friendly, except for the older woman in customer service, who never once has cracked a smile or acknowledged my existence. Other than that, it's great. Amazing selection of wines, and I highly recommend the deli too. Plus, Starbucks! read more

WELCOME BACK !!!! So tired of not having a full/complete grocery store in the area for a few years now and I couldn't stand that joke of a company that took over (GOOD RIDDANCE to them)! I have made do w/ Smart N Final across the street, but they don't have EVERYTHING - so I'm glad to see you are back Just wanted to say thank you for the free sample of Artisan bread when I came to the store for the first time after learning you had returned - it is DEEELISHHHHHH and I definitely will be getting it again. 4 stars because of prices - place across the street does seem to be cheaper, but I still will need to go to Albertson's for some things including sale item$ and BREAD ;) read more

This is my second experience where the cashier did not even look at me or say hi I didn't think much of it the first time thinking maybe they were just having a bad day the first checker who did this to me was Wendy she looked irritated when I told her I'd be using my snap benefits but at least she told me to have a nice day whether she meant it or not .. now this time the checker did the same thing except when I told her thank you simply no reply then she greets the next customer with a big nice hello ..ouch I don't know if it's because I use ebt to purchase my groceries but this is extremely rude. read more

Another frustrating shopping experience, uncaring robots were here warning, a big market like that often only has one cashier only, have a drink take a hit of your cannabis before you shop here , you will need it to keep calm read more

Albertsons - Stay away from this place if you don't want to get waiting in a big slow lines Ito get frustrated - Grocery Near Me - San Pedro, California

The lines here are always long. And they usually have one line open with a bunch of employees standing around. Some times I will go in for a quick trip for 1 item and be in line for 15 min. The cashiers are super slow and rude. I go to Costco and the lines are larger then this and I'm out quicker. They need self checkout. read more

I rarely shop at a large chain grocery store anymore, and this experience reminded me why. I went to the fish counter and rang the bell for service. Someone came out no greeting nothing asked me what I wanted, I let him know I wanted two of the largest tilapia filets that are the same size. He first grabbed two of the smallest, I asked for a specific one he got a new bag grabbed one large and one small and proceeded to bundle it up and ring me up. I once again said I really would like two large ones of the same size he opened my bag with his bare hands and said they are the same size (clearly one was half the size of the other). He bundled the package again placed it on the counter and then walked away. I am so very sorry sir for asking you to do your job. This was the worst customer service experience I have had in a long time. I will never return to this location. read more

3 strikes and your out. On my first order they gave me the wrong cake flavor and filling, Back in March I ordered a cake from this Albertsons for my sons 13th bday that was never made. Now currently in December I give them another chance to make another cake. I talked to the cake decorator on 2 separate occasion to let them know exactly what I wanted done ( just because of all this mishaps we have had before) They literally still failed. The cake was misshaped instead of round it was egg shaped. I told them to write on the cake.... Absolutely NO writing was on the cake. When I called the store to let them know of there mistake once again the store assistant manager had the nerve to blame the customer for the outcome of the cake. The audacity of this stores management has me finally saying that I will never buy a stick of gum from this establishment. Furthermore when you call the Albertsons corporation they send you on a run around of collecting information just to refer you back to the local Albertsons so they are also a complete waste of time. If you are looking for bad food, bad customer service and unanswered question then run to Albertsons. If you want cleanliness, good service and better atmosphere head to Ralph's it's right down the street. Even food 4 less is better at this point. read more

Hands-down without a doubt the worst grocery store in the San Pedro Palos Verdes area. Always missing something you need, and never enough checkers. Always a long wait. Management here has to be the worst anywhere I've been. Wake up Albertsons Management you need to replace people here desperately and get people that can manage. read more

Customer Service NO SERVICE! When they're out of stock on an item, they give a lame excuse and never bother restocking or ordering, or even looking into WHY the item is no longer stocked. Leaving Emails at Corporate office are simply ignored, with no return comment from them. Examples: 1. Mama Bella Garlic Bread Parm Cheese. There is a barcode label on the freezer shelf: Barcode 2732600011. SKU No. 43150012. Shelf label reads $4.99 ea. Store has not had this product for over 90 days. I ask weekly at their Customer Service desk. They say it's not their responsibility to stock that item. 2. Hostess Ding Dong ice cream sandwiches. Have been missing for SIX months. Barcode A0007255416563. price $3.49. Customer service says it's a seasonal item that's not available year round. If so, then why does the RALPHS store ALWAYS have it. They're only a mile away?!! If not for such a poor customer service dept, this store would rate 4 stars, because it's a beautiful, clean store, and is conveniently in my route of travel. Unfortunately, I must shop at Ralphs because they always have what I need. read more

I love this store, I'm so happy it's back!, the store is cleaner and remodeled! The florists was so helpful, she knew exactly what I wanted and what I was looking for!, super friendly! Definitely will be back! Thank you ! read more

The Management here needs work @Albertsons!!! My bestfriend worked here and worked his tail feather off there even though he wasn't a manager...Now my bestfriend was tired of over working there and he put his two weeks notice in and the guy who was supposed to put in his two weeks joked around "I hope I don't loose your two week notice"and my bestfriend laughed it off haha ya right ok...NOW THIS IS WHERE MANAGEMENT NEEDS SOME WORK the manager couldn't take his two weeks notice BECUASE she was on vacation for the multiple time...and so this guy took his two weeks lost it and she finally comes back from vacation basically the two weeks of the two week notice and comes back from vacation like oh I don't have your two weeks notice I'm going to have to terminate you...like really? That's how you run a business that's wrong full termination right there and their lucky my bestfriend didn't go to court with it read more

Big, clean, spacious. Friendly staff, good selection, easy parking. Plus....there's a cool little Chase bank outlet inside. Yes! read more

I like this Alberton's. They recently moved things around (breads to the back right corner, etc) but this place is pretty nice. When they first re-did this store though, the lights were super bright and because of customer complaints (like my gramma in law), they adjusted to the customers which is fine with me. The thing I really like about Alberton's is their Chicken Caesar Salad though. You guys must have that at the Deli section... I always call in to check if they do. read more

New managed Albertsons are back. My favorite spot. Potato wedge is amazing. Very clean inside. Same sales Assitant as before. We are in same community always. Let us buy something at local grocery shop. read more

This place has the worst lines ever. Bring back Haggen. Or at least bust our the self checkout lines.

I love this grocery store it's so big and clean. The produce is always fresh and the staff are very nice. I have to pass five other stores to get to this location and it's well worth my time driving. Love it! read more

Albertsons is the grocery store for me. I'm from Bosie so they hold a spot in my heart cause I knew the family and saw what Mr. Albertson did for the city with his hard earned money! Plus they've always got a great selection of meat & fruit. read more

Albertsons - Correct your stamps to get free dinnerware. I'm almost up to a full set of 4 of everything! - Grocery Near Me - San Pedro, California

Amazing selection of food here! Really impressive, but three stars because they need to fine tune their customer service skills a bit. Some of the cashiers are a tad rude. But so glad they finally put an Albertsons here since Ralphs up the road is so overpriced. read more

WILL NEVER SHOP AT ANY ALBERTSONS EVER AGAIN. Albertson's Truck Driver hit our parked van with my wife and 4 year old daughter inside on 15th August 2012. Since then, Albertson's has wasted over 16 hours of our time on the phone and maintains that their truck driver 'allegedly' hit our van (even though the driver took photos and filled out an accident report on the spot) and will not do anything to pay for the damages including our deductible from our insurance company. We have talked to Kevin, John R., Fritz B., Richard Lusaro, Steve Weissenbach, Nickoalus Levan, Ryan Belton, Michele R., Anonymous Woman, Michele M., Stephanie B., John R., Tyana L., Sandy, & Jack Downey to no avail. Our case was escalated so many times that we were finally escalated all the way down to John R. again after 30 days... who is at the bottom of the chain of command. Two months later, we give up our useless fight against Albertsons for the damages however, now begins the season of telling our story all over the internet. IF YOU can spare to go shopping somewhere else for at least one trip, you can support us in costing Albertsons some money on our behalf. We will not ever get our van fixed by Albertsons, yet hopefully they will lose that money through loss of grocery sales through our campaign. Thank you and Peace One person we spoke with actually answered the phone by saying, "Good morning, how many I mislead you?". read more

sad to say for two night straight they had no soy milk, and the cashier rudely interrupted me as i asked a question. He even answered a question he thought i was going to ask but I wasn't going to, I don't know his name and I don't care, never going back.... read more

A mixed bag, selection vs service and atmosphere... Inaccurate pricing and extremely loud music on the floor are a turn off. Why are ads for Alberston's screaming at me while I pay at Albertson's? Do you think I didn't perceive how great it is and won't be back? That's telling... I can't help but think the higher food prices pay for the purchase, installation and maintenance of this unnecessary and annoying audio-video. What a waste of my money. It's a big store, allowing room for a good selection of items and they have it. It is pretty clean, carts are always stocked, the parking lot is large. The Starbucks is nice and so is the deli. But... The produce, check it out carefully, moldy small tomatoes, produce is sometimes old and battered. Takes thorough and careful picking through. Watch the pricing, often items of higher prices are put on shelves where the sale item has sold out. Guy stocking milk argued with me about putting the higher priced milk on the sale Alberston's shelf, when I took a pic of this he moved them back to the proper shelf (with a sour look at me), deliberate? Yikes... Last visit, Jennie O turkey burger was on sale, sticker on burger says, "buy one get one free with club card", tiny sign on shelf says "buy one get one free with club card AND COUPON", I took the time to ask for the coupon I needed... had to get the help off the phone... Finding the item not the price shown is a common problem. Sometimes two different prices on displays, you will pay the higher unless you complain. And the attitude of employees, stocking shelves during store hours making aisles and products inaccessible, I understand it is awkward but the sour looks are unprofessional. Too often an atmosphere of being annoyed by the shoppers, guess that goes with the loud music, that hanging out at home with they guys feel instead of work-like professionalism. I'm going to try out some other stores. read more

While I like the convince of this Albertsons, I'd rather drive to the Vons on 25th and Western. This Albertsons seems to be more expensive and have less friendly staff. For instance, while I'll usually get a friendly greeting at Vons, here I'll get a look that just says "What do you want." In addition the prices seem higher then there competitors and the prepackaged meats that I buy always seem to go bad rather quickly. Also, although it's not their fault, because they are in L.A, there are no free grocery bags, while if you stop by nearby Smart and Final or Trader Joes (which are in RPV), you can still get free bags. The positives of this store? Redbox inside, recycling machine outside, discount bakery section and SOME friendly staff...but they are few and far in-between. read more

This Albertson's sells The Kobbler King miniature sweet potato pies, and I have eaten them in the past, and they were very tasty. However, the last two times I attempted to buy one THEY WERE SPOILED!! I figured the first time was a fluke but the 2nd time...... I told Albertsons about it the first time, I guess they don't care.... Hey Kobbler King you're getting a bad rap! read more

I always enjoy the employees. My favorite grocery store in town. Shout out to Cynthia for hyping up the cookies. They're amazing :)

Do not buy the donuts here!! I went in for a couple of glazed donuts and there were Nat's(little fly's) and bugs inside the case. Pretty disgusting read more

I like this Albertsons. There is never trouble with parking, and there is never trouble with waiting too long to checkout. They have a self-checkout area that is awesome. Many times I would buy a six pack of beer and the person who manages the self-checkout doesn't even bother me even though I look like I'm 17 (I'm 22). Friendly staff. There is a Starbucks inside of the store, even though there is one in the same plaza! It's a very new place so all the infrastructure is new and kept very clean. When I was in there one time they had created a mickey mouse head out of coke and diet coke 12 packs near the west wall. It was fun to marvel at how much time the employees there spent making that. Maybe if it's still there I'll take a pic of it the next time I go. I got an Albertsons card there when they had a deal on bottles of Muscle Milk. They were $2.00 each when the sale was going on. Not bad! Oh yeah they also have professional Crest whitening strips, which if you have never tried them, work very well. They make your teeth super freaking white for like fitty bucks. Okay there was absolutely no structure to this review. Sorry! Either way, this place is an above average grocery store! :D read more

Yay!!! FINALLY! Oh how I missed Albertsons glad to be back shopping and having my drinks made at Starbucks by the best barista!!!

I've reached the end of the road regarding the meat department and I am looking for an alternative meat market. The beef, any cut, lacks flavor and is very, very tough. I cooked chicken breasts last night and they were just as tough and tasteless as the beef. We have tried the premium beef and it is not any better. read more

Better selection of food and better prices than any other supermarket in the Pedro area. It's also very clean and organized.

Deli staff rocks....puts the deli staff at Vons on Lomita/Crenshaw to shame...all employees are very nice and appear to love their jobs and not just to collect a paycheck. I live mid-way between both stores...I will go out of my way to visit Albertsons in San Pedro...I will NEVER again go to Vons on Lomita/Crenshaw....rude employees all around....seem only wanting their paycheck. read more

customer service at this location is deplorable. seems like there's a need to train staff, specially cashiers, in how to greet customers. most are "mute" and show no expressions. they make you feel very uncomfortable, unwelcome and definitely wondering if want to go back to this store. we as customers pay to be served, we go in your store to buy. fortunately, this store just reopened, so there's hope for improvement and looking forward to see changes. good luck and hope u stay open many years. open your eyes and learn from ur starbucks and the specially young staff u have on site, they have a great smile. read more

Not really special but its got everything a grocery store should have and its clean.
