I…read moremust say though, my shopping experience at Food 4 Less in National City was surprisingly a vey good one. Compared to Chula Vista, this location was much more quiet, calmer, and not crowded. Lots of available carts. Registers had no more than 2-4 persons in line. I was happy. There was lots of parking, but the parking lot itself looked ragged and old. I would return to this location, even though Chula Vista location is couple miles from my home

But today was outrageous!!! I was charged THREE TIMES the same bill?!?! I noticed when I got home and checked my bank account. This is obviously THEFT!! And when I went back to the store a I was told that they couldn't do anything about it, that I could go back on Sunday at 4am to speak to the accountant?!?!? REALLY?!?!? What's wrong with you?!?!? I didn't want to spend more than I did! I didn't planned to spend more than I did!!!!! The less you could have done is give me my money back!!!! And it get my attention to see that this kind of "transactions" are made on weekends, when a customer can not complain?!?!? Mediocre service, mediocre crew members who most of them have very poor customer skills.... All of you should be coached on how to give a GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, how to solve situations like this in the absence of the General Manager because it is evident the lack of knowledge this employees have. And to the cashier EVERETT, you had only one task to do and you failed miserably... To every one who is a customer and read this, if you happen to go to this location BE ALERT!!!

I still wanted to purchase it, at the register upon opening it to see if it had any damages it looked like it had a scratch. I politely asked if I could get some sort of discount. The cashier said normally no but that she would ask her team lead. The cashier was sweet no issues with her. The team lead on the other hand, rose or Rosa she was very rude. She told me to my face that she wasn't sure if I had opened it so she couldn't offer a discount. I asked her if she could check the cameras then because I didn't mind waiting and again that's the condition I found it in. She continued to have a rude tone with me and gave me 11¢ off. Not what I was hoping for but I accepted the¢ discount. I then told rose or Rosa with a very polite tone that she was rude and she said back "I'm not being rude" and refused to check herself. Rosa or rose also told the cashier to go on lunch so she turned off her sign but the rose or Rosa turned it back on then got mad at the cashier for not turning it off.

I appreciate the great staff and they have great customer service. My go-to for toilet paper is here. I have been a Kroger Brand toilet paper customer for about 16 years now. I stopped buying Costco TP. Kroger TP is perfectly thick, soft, and does the job well. The deli has more hummus, cheeses, meats, and options now. The bakery is the same but they offer great filled cupcakes that taste better than some bakeries; at a great price too! Overall, I am now happy with this location. Thanks Erika, Martin, April, and Winter for being great staff here.

The ahi bowls are probably the most popular, and most people take their food to go. Chef Jeff prepared food to order for 5 of us.

Chef Jeff and Chef Austin are inside (Sushi on a Roll). Everyone there is hella friendly and loves sharing the history behind the shop. Chef Jeff's story is seriously inspiring, and you can tell how much he's impacted the local sushi scene.. apparently a lot of sushi chefs and restaurants got their start through his mentorship. I recently came for Chef Austin's omakase, and sheeesh... absolutely worth it. Every bite was on point. I even met a woman visiting from Japan who said it's the closest she's had to back home, and that's saying something. Not much seating just bar seats about 6 if I counted correctly, so you have to come at the right time. If you want quality sushi, authentic Japanese ingredients, and a little glimpse of Japan without buying a plane ticket, this is the spot. Austin could also do private dinners which we'll be hiring him soon!! If you love sushi and have not been here you missing out player!
