Adding a quick note about finding gluten-free pre-made cake at this Von's. Our neighbor, who's a…read moredear friend, has to have gluten free baked goods. It was her birthday this week and while I'm stuck at home recuperating from a medical thing, I had helped out Dear Hubby by doing research online for who would have gluten free cake near us. Vons and Ralphs came up with options. Ralphs is not as convenient, and I like this Vons store, so I suggested he go there. Once he did, he had trouble finding anyone who works in the store who knew where said cakes would be. Even at the bakery counter they sent him off in a vague direction. He wasn't finding the gluten free baked goods at all until just before leaving the store and heading elsewhere, he saw a supervisor. Once he explained what he was looking for and how he'd been to different locations in the store without success, the supervisor walked him to the correct area. The supervisor also made a point to tell the bakery clerk where the right spot was, too. I'm sure it's frustrating for management at stores to have employees who either haven't been trained properly or who don't retain information that would make for a better customer experience. At that point in DH's description of his visit, I would have given three stars. However, the strawberry cream layer cake looked very yummy once he bought it and brought it home. And, best of all, our friend loved it! That was a special treat for her as she wouldn't normally go out any buy such a cake for herself. That, along with a homemade card, made her feel special. For that, Vons will get a bump to four stars. Still, it would be helpful to have staff members be familiar with special request kind of foods - like plant-based cheeses, gluten-free baked goods, etc. Just saying.

Vons/Macys gift card final review. Part 3…read more After shopping at Vons for over 35 years were done. As for Macys, were done with them too. Vons in both Simi Valley and Moorpark have been steadily declining most notably in the last five years. Both their selection and service has become very sparse. I for one do not like the obvious corporate decision to herd shoppers to the "self checkout" line. Now they are down to one live person available for checkout, it's just pathetic. The straw that broke the camels back was poor service I received when I purchased a Macys gift card at the Vons in Simi Valley on Cochran Street. They informed me that the gift card was tampered with and the $200 dollars on it was stolen. They contacted Macys gift card department "GC" and had me wait on phone and deal with Macys poor service. Sorry Vons, I will be shopping at Gelsons going forward, although they are more expensive, at least I will get better service and nicer cleaner environment to shop at. Now, as for Macys, just like most of big brand stores these days, customer service is non existent. My simple claim for $200 dollars could have been resolved within a week. But after exchanging emails with someone named Sean, at Macys GC department, and complying with what they asked for, (photos of the card in question and the receipt given at point of purchase) he responded twice that the receipt in the photo did not match with the card sold. After i informed him that store managers confirmed that was the receipt and card that was paid for, and he could contact them (store number included) to verify that, he just replied that the receipt was not a match. Sorry Macys, we will be shopping at Kohl's going forward.

I stopped by the Sprouts in Simi Valley while traveling from out of town, and I was genuinely…read moreimpressed with the entire experience from the moment I walked in. The store was busy, but everything was so well organized, spotless, and welcoming. You could immediately tell the staff takes pride in maintaining a clean, comfortable, and inviting environment for customers. What stood out the most was how helpful and friendly everyone was throughout the store. Every employee I encountered seemed positive, attentive, and ready to help with anything I needed. That level of customer service is rare these days and definitely deserves recognition. Assistant Manager Kim was especially amazing. She was energetic, vibrant, and incredibly kind. Even while she was clearly busy handling other responsibilities, she still took the time to personally direct me to the sandwich area and made sure I knew exactly where to go. Her attitude and professionalism truly made my visit memorable. The sandwich deli team was also outstanding -- fast, efficient, friendly, and professional. The deli area itself was immaculate, and the service was seamless despite how busy the store was. Overall, this was one of the best grocery store experiences I've had in a long time. I would absolutely recommend this Sprouts location to anyone in the area. Excellent customer service, a beautifully maintained store, and a team that genuinely cares about their customers.

Not trusting me with his precious alcohol that's locked up like I'm a criminal; trying to figure out which car belongs to everyone in the lot so he can leave saying things like "Which car is yours? The black one? What no car? You don't drive? Is something wrong with you??" Half of the employees are chill, the others obsessively scan the back of the ID when I'm clearly much older than 21 (and recognize me) when it's the store's cheapness to close all their checkout lanes early. Thus forcing anyone buying alcohol to beg at the self checkout lane.

I went in today to purchase flowers and had quite a few bouquets. Samer immediately offered me a bucket to make carrying them easier. I asked if the bucket was complimentary, and when he said yes, I said, "Oh wow, okay! Do they come with water?" Without hesitation, he said he could definitely put some water in it for me. He ran to the back and added some water to help keep my flowers fresh on the drive home--especially important since it was over 100 degrees outside! It may seem like a small gesture, but it made such a big impression on me. I've purchased flowers there before that unfortunately didn't make it through the heat, and when that happened, the manager was incredibly helpful and replaced them without any problem. Trader Joe's is already known for great customer service, and every visit I've had at the Simi Valley location has been pleasant. But Samer truly went above and beyond today. His kindness, attentiveness, and willingness to do something extra for a customer is exactly what exceptional customer service looks like. Thank you, Samer! Please keep doing what you're doing--you made my day and definitely deserve to be recognized!
