The "DISCRIMINATION" in this store is alive and well and (on camera) but the manager Jeff refuses…read moreto do anything about it. Let's see if we can find someone who will. The man over at boar's head had been mocking me for the past couple of years. This started when I was working as a doordasher. I asked a lady over the counter for some help and nobody wanted to assist. I asked again for the 2nd time politely and this guy screamed at my face and told me to stop asking the people over the counter for help. Not raise his voice, screamed at my face. I asked for a manager but nobody was available. Another employee walked with me to the counter and this guy just laughed at my face mocking me. I wonder if he would do that if I wasn't working for doordash. I sent the manager an e-mail and never got a response. This went on for a couple of years, this guy would always smile and laugh at me still mocking me to this day like i am not a customer. I've complained about this guy multiple times and everytime I was told there is nothing they can do because he's not a safeway employee. Another incident happened on the 24th of june last month. The last time I spoke to the manager complaining about this guy I was told that he was told to ignore me because that is all they can do. This idiot not only mocked me again, he even saluted. I waved my finger at him and said don't disrespect me and nothing else. This idiot started screaming and cursing at me on the top of his lungs in front of other employees and customers. He had the nerve to act like the victim when he's been mocking and disrespecting me for the past couple of years like i'm not a customer. The manager came and I told him what happened. I think he even saw the guy acting up while he was walking towards us. I told Jeff everything that happened and he accused me of "instigating" like cameras don't exist. He then gave me a speech of how nice the guy is and how everyone likes him and how he's known him for 10 years. He even said that reputation matters to him, discrediting me right away. I don't know how dumb you are Jeff but your experience with that guy from boar's head has nothing to do with my experience with him. I hope that's not difficult for you to understand. Jeff said there's no way this guy would ever do that when it literally just happened 2 minutes ago "ON CAMERA". Again I was told that there is nothing they can do and adviced me to ignore the guy after screaming and calling me a "mother effer" on camera. I also brought up my other previous complaints of discrimination. Employees being extremely rude to instacart and doordash shoppers. Refusing to help, walking away and refusing to bag groceries once an instacart shopper and a doordasher is detected. The employees actually fish for shoppers to not help them. They even watch instacart shoppers bag everything, refusing to assist no matter how long the line is. One time I had to help another fellow shopper because an employee just flat out refused to help. This discrimination happens all day everyday on camera. The crazy thing is, i'm still treated like shit when I shop because i'm already a known instacart shopper. Remember Jeff when I asked you what the difference is between "eff that guy" and "don't help them with anything because they are shoppers for instacart and doordash". You said nothing remember? I even pointed out to Jeff another employee and before I can finish he accused me of making it up and had another wonderful story for his employee. Jeff, what is so difficult to understand about the workings of a camera? Are you just avoiding evidence or just completely unaware of how cameras work? I mentioned this to you many times. Everything I said can be proven by your cameras. All our transactions are time stamped. Easily provable that discrimination is very rampant in your store and you refuse to do anything about it. This happens to hundreds, probably thousands of hardworking shoppers on camera. I like to repeat the word camera because maybe you're still confused about how it works. Just google it to avoid further confusion. I will try to contact your regional manager and Albertsons to find someone who wants to protect the store and not their shitty friends. I bet you didn't even report that incident to boar's head and swept what your friend has been doing to me and other shoppers under the rug.

As a reflex I said "oh excuse me" and tried to dodge the broom. Not only did he not acknowledge me or say anything, but he didn't even skip a beat. He kept sweeping at the heels of my feet without even a pause, as I was trying to rush out of his way. Maybe he was annoyed that customers are in the store during working hours while he's sweeping.. but I'm surprised because I didn't expect to be herded like a cow through the store.

They had the usual array of nonstick pots, which don't work very well for me. They had a small but useful section for clay pots. I thought Amazon and AliExpress had overpriced clay pots, but I was wrong. These prices were significantly higher. I can only hope these are the best of the best. Checking up on 99 Ranch, I couldn't even find clay pots in there more limited kitchen utensil section. I ran across one item where knockoffs are ubiquitous. They've completely flooded AliExpress and you have to watch it with Amazon. Hankook had the authentic item and at significantly lower price than both Amazon and Aldi express. I found a tea section to be well stocked. I also recognize some of the tea brands. 99 Ranch has gone with lower cost options, but if you buy 6 ounces of tea, are you gonna be stuck with an enormous supply. Better to go with reliable brands that I have enjoyed in the past. I loved the produce section. It was nice and fresh. It also had wider selection of produce than other supermarkets. The store itself is stunning. The the aisles are spacious. The store is meticulously clean. The shelves are fully stocked. There were only about two items which were shopped out. The snack area and the frozen foods were even more interesting. It's obvious in those two sections that there were many more Korean brands. I should've tried some, but it's hard for me to resist snacks and there was a good chance that would finish the entire bag in one go. Better to skip it entirely. The parking lot for the supermarket is spacious. I had no trouble finding a spot even though I arrived in the late afternoon when everybody has gotten off work. I live about two hours away. And I am very jealous because there is no Hankook near me.

We have purchased a wok from here, twice, and they were reasonably priced (around $35 if I recall), and we got a spare lid for a reasonable price as well. They always have inexpensive produce, lots of fresh stuff. I got a bag of bok choy for $2. I think if you are looking for Asian produce, a great place to shop. They also have a lot of prepared foods, snack foods, etc. Everything is reasonably priced. They do have a large enough parking lot, and usually we park on the side to avoid the chaos.

Wow what a great representative, in fact all the other clerks are great as well. I think this is just a nice and friendly store. Super clean and tidy store, super nice friendly staff and located in a nice area, which means something. Always stocked with the items that one is looking for. Awesome!! If and when you are in Central/Downtown Sunnyvale, make this place your TJ stop off point.

I had a delicious truffle ham baguette and ordered a loaded up chicken salad on rye. I couldn't leave without adding the anti-pasta, pesto pasta salad, and the pea and cauliflower salad.

There was a bit of a crowd on a Monday morning, but the staff was fast at making sure each new guests was served promptly and sent back on their way. It was a more pricey lunch for 3 (luckily, one of the sandwiches was split between 2 people). But if you don't mind paying a little more for quality food, and much less than a restaurant, I think you'll be pleasant surprised at what you can find in the deli.

So, besides a coffee respite on historic Murphy/Evelyn streets, I now had a reliable source for a green/mineral-rich banana that was more carb than sugar. This busy market certainly had the green bananas I needed (its maturation into more sugar was now stopped because my much better half peeked and froze them); the highly efficient clerks steadily checked out customers, all of whom patiently waited for our turn. I was tempted by other fresh fruits/veggies/other foodstuffs, but we gave a limited amount of space available in our tiny temporary address/fridge.
