Wow y'all, wow. I…read moreknow tensions are high and we're getting cabin fever, but can we please show some empathy for the people that are out on the front lines? Fred Meyer's employees put themselves at risk of infection every day. They are overworked and understaffed and underpaid. They, along with medical professionals and first responders, are keeping us alive right now. The only difference is that they are paid and respected much less by our society. To clear a few things up: Instacart: is not owned by Fred Meyer. If you have a problem with them, you shouldn't put that on Fred Meyer. Also: Instacart workers are also on the front lines, and need your compassion. It's a GOOD THING: that grocery stores are being strict about returns. THIS DISCOURAGES HOARDING, in addition to being SAFE. In times like this, we should only buy what we NEED. OK, so with that soapbox out of the way: Freddies is doing a great job, all things considered. Social distancing markers are in place on the floors. Employees are constantly sanitizing and/or changing out gloves. Food is getting re-stocked only days after the hoarders take it all. Despite all the added strain, employees remain cheerful and eager to help. Oh, and they are keeping alcohol sales going...essential indeed. Let's be nice, and keep it classy, Anchorage. We'll get through this.

How the hell is this not listed on Yelp? It's not even a new Carrs!…read more This is similar to all other Carrs in Alaska (except the new one attached the "Sears Mall"): it's a Safeway posing as a local Alaska business by having a family name bolted onto it. If you've been to a Safeway, you know what to expect: A-OK selection, high-ish prices, but with the bonus of having later hours than a place like Fred Meyer. This is one of the smaller Carrss, but the location is convenient. Close to: Midnight Sun Brewing, Homebrew Shop, Qdoba, (New) Seward Hwy, etc. If you don't like Carrs, there's a Fred Meyer right next to it.

Then I was passing by their Kimchi refrigerated cooler and I was like it's nearly all gone hmmm that means people must like it. So I grabbed a container! I usually get my Kimchi from Costco, but not anymore. After eating their Kimchee there's just no comparison. If you're into Asian and Indian foods I recommend coming here.

It was made through the app and I could edit it in the app until the purchase was actually made. I received an email with a link but it doesn't take my to my receipt. Customer service helped me with my request and said they would send a pdf copy of my receipt. They never did this. Instead I'm now getting an email from someone saying I owe the store more money. They acknowledge I was charged $74.73, they won't tell me how much more I owe, and they're asking permission to charge me more. Even my email with my receipt says the final amount was $74.73.

I decided to stop into Carrs on Huffman for their $5 Friday deals and I was pleasantly surprised!…read more First of all, I always find Carrs to be quite expensive but if you hit the right deals on Friday AND have the app on your phone you can walk out of there saving more money than you spent! But the real bonus for me was the INCREDIBLY friendly staff! It was a really nice change of pace. I absolutely will be making this a regular stop on Fridays.

Today I was searching for Taiwanese rice vinegar. When I was about to give up, I found it in the vinegar isle, not the Asian sauce isle, like I would have suspected! New Sagaya Midtown has a fantastic selection of all things one might need to make some killer Asian or Mexican dishes and I love coming here for that. The main downside is that they are expensive, typically in the L48 stores like Uwajimaya and Hmart are cheaper than Safeway/QFC but that is simply not the case here. The store is relatively clean and well lit, there is no funky odor which is greatly appreciated. The cashier is always quick, but that's the extent of the service I have received at the store. I will keep coming back when I need to find a special ingredient to keep exploring the culinary world.

Go to the deli, the meat counter, customer service counter, it's always the same. No help available. Plenty of employees standing around chatting amongst themselves, but no one for the department you're trying to get assistance in. When someone finally does show up, I'm usually treated as if I'm annoying them. Unless I just need something quick I can get at the self checkout, I avoid this store.

I honestly should have written a…read morereview months ago (like last summer) I just had another bad encounter but I already know this review will be long talking about the previous problem I'd had. (Will try to make a 2nd review) because I encountered a super rude guy in pick up while working for DoorDash. It was my 1st time picking up at Walmart for Grocery Pickup via DoorDash so I didn't go to the correct area and I was chastised for going to the wrong place/area & then because I was waiting for so long for an employee to assist me. By the time, he came to help I'd been waiting over 10 min. (Long story short he read the app wrong and accused me of being too late (I was not, I wasn't the 1st person assigned this order) and he had a total attitude and I was mortified by him yelling at me and basically calling me stupid for my mistake and I was damn near in tears (maybe he read me wrong) so then he proceeded to cancel the entire order on me and gaslight me, like I had the attitude. I'd gotten up early and accepted this reservation order and drove across town and was on time only to be devastated due to the my 1st cancellation ever . (1st time and only ever that I had an order cancelled especially under these untrue pretenses. I was actually told by customer service to go to that door and then after being yelled at by said employee, I then went back to customer service to inform to them of how I'd been treated only to have this guy come back up to me and yell at me some more. Meanwhile, he never listened to ANYTHING I said or tried to explain to him. He was obviously having a bad day and pushed that onto me. Unfortunately.

Carrs Oaken Keg states that the store policy is to not accept federally issued Certificate of…read moreIndian Blood (CIB) cards with photos or Federally issued Veteran spouse or Veteran ID cards. Both of these required me more documentation than to get a drivers license, contain a photo and DOB and are approved by the State of Alaska for buying alcohol, not to mention multiple deployments and my family being separated etc. Not at Carrs, although they did say they would accept active duty identification for buying alcohol, but no active duty spouse, Veteran, or Veteran spouse. This is really insane because my husband served 30 years in the military and ID cards are made the exact same way in the exact same place and I've never had a problem anywhere else in town. Now that my husband is a Vet, I just wanted to make others aware, this entity does not support the veteran ID cards and Certificate of Indian Blood, very discriminatory when the law says otherwise. I was told, "We can't sell you alcohol with a Tribal ID." BTW, CIB and Tribal ID and not the same thing. After I waited for some time, spoke to Manager and got the same response at Carrs, I went to Winehouse and was immediately told that I get a service discount with my veteran spouse ID for the same bottle. I'd recommend going to "Winehouse" less than a block away. No hassle. Thank you, Winehouse!
