    Everything here is WAY marked up from the Bakersfield locations. You could shop literally ANYWHERE…read moreelse amd save money. But you cant beat the convenience and selection.

    It's a small town so prices are pretty high here, I only get specific items here like dog food and…read morealcohol. Last time I was here though, I had an absolutely horrible experience that made me never want to go back. I don't remember what the cashier's name was but he was youngish (not as young as most of the baggers) skinny, had a beard and possibly blue eyes. I assume he's new because I have never been treated with so much disrespect from the cashier's here and hadn't seen him before. I came into the check out line with my friend who had a SEPARATE order (I had alcohol in my order) was preparing to take out my credit card and ID when the guy tells me he will needs both me AND my friend's ID in order to sell to me. Which is absolutely ridiculous and I have never been asked this before by cashier's here. My friend's product was just a burrito from the deli so she obviously didn't bring her ID for that. I confirmed that it didn't matter to him that all the items were for me and that I would be paying for them separately from her. Had to drive her back to her house to get her ID, came back and they had thrown away her burrito (after being gone for maybe 10 minutes max) even though they had promised to set it aside till we got back. This man tried to tell me it was so called long standing policy which is complete bs, if I had known his name I would have called and just straight up reported him to management. Put a giant bummer on my night for absolutely no reason, plus it's stupid how you gonna ask me to provide an ID for the person behind me in line? Yea we were talking but she literally could've been a complete stranger, so this guy wouldn't have sold me my products just cause I was talking to someone behind me??? Like what if she was actually a stranger, he's gonna expect me to ask her to get her ID just so I a complete stranger can buy my groceries? Make it make sense and train your workers better, even the baggers (who bring me my pick up orders regularly) knew this guy was in the wrong. And going so far as to throwing out my friend's burrito after not being gone for long at all (she literally lives three blocks from the store) then trying to offer to make another in 15 minutes while the store is closing? It shows me this guy didn't expect me to come back and was simply just trying to get rid of me and my friend, like I thought you guys wanted to sell this stuff? Seriously guys you can do better. Two stars are only for the products, and the one bagger who has always been kind and respectful when I pick up my orders, do better with your staff. I won't be coming back unless it's for a pick up order when every other place in town is out of what I want. Horrible

Selections are not fresh and most are farmed fish selections. The fish is defrosted and seems to sit for days. The shrimp is from Asia- Thailand and Vietnam - those are the shrimp you want to stay away from. I sometimes buy beef there, but if I do it's mostly organic ground beef. If I want fish, chicken, or beef, I will most times go elsewhere. This makes my shopping trips more complex. I know, first -world problems. The deli-counter is ok. I don't order from the deli. I asked and from what I was told, the deli selections are not made from scratch. The ingredients come pre-packaged and are put together. They are not freshly made, not the best ingredients. The produce staff get my award for the unfriendliest group in the store. The produce manager is NEVER friendly. Never says hello. And the staff pretty much follow his lead. Oftentimes the produce manager is chatting it up with the staff, talking sports and stuff, but the staff don't seem to acknowledge customers. I find it entertaining, and irritating. I do buy some produce, but the organic items are from Mexico. We've started going to the local organic farmstand for our vegetables instead. I'll buy select pantry items and such. And I do like their fresh flowers. The store manager seems to be nice. I've talked to him a few times when I had comments or questions. He is polite. Seems to care. Sometimes I think he has his hands more than full with this store, and the staff. It's hard to get good employees obviously. Too many of the employees are indifferent and unfriendly. A few are friendly, but most don't give you a greeting or eye contact. I understand that we all have bad days, but these few employees apparently have a bad day everyday. No, it's not just with me. I watch and notice with customers ahead of me. You could walk the aisles looking around, obviously trying to find something and employees will walk by you and not say a word. Oftentimes when I see people looking lost, I'll ask if they need help. I figure that I can help. The curbside shopping employees will cut in front of you to get what they need, and they block aisles with their rolling bins. The store employees seem to be scheduled to minimize staffing and maximize customers using the "self-checkout" terminals. I find it irritating at times. If I'm expected to work as a cashier, I should get a 15% discount for using self-checkout. I don't mind self-checkout when I have a couple of items; however I do not want to self-checkout when I have a full cart. Sometimes there are two cashiers and long lines of people waiting. I try to be patient, but at times it's not easy. One time I needed assistance at the self-checkout and the asst manager came over and told me what I should have done. She sounded irritated. I responded that "I must have missed that section in the training class." It seems that I'm expected to know how to use the self-checkout terminals without training. Please don't be cranky. I know it's a tough job, but it's your job. My experience is not the end of the world, but it is frustrating at times. I will continue to shop here because it's close to my home, but it's not my number one choice in markets. It is what it is, and I am glad they're here, overall.

    Albertsons - Yuck! They need to clean their produce section. Dirty gunk dripping all over the veggies!
