They have everything from high-end champagne, cognac, wines (import & domestic), beers (import & domestic) down to Boone's Farm, Cold Duck, MD-20/20 and all in between. There is not a single kind of booze not sold in this store. Best of all, their prices are fantastic, service is very friendly and hours are decent. I just wish they were here in San Francisco! To the good people at Bernie's liquor, keep up the good work! :)

Raley's is undoubtedly my top-choice grocery store in Merced. Not only is the quality very…read moreconsistent and top-notch, the prices are also very fair. The meat selection is great and cheap, and the produce here is always fresh. The deli here is awesome! You can build your own sandwich with a wide variety of ingredients or select from their menu of sandwiches. I also really enjoy their fried chicken and found that it is extremely affordable and still of quality when compared to places like Popeyes, KFC, or El Pollo Loco. The sushi here is also of decent quality and way more affordable than Sushi Cuisine next door. They have the widest and cheapest selection of alcohol, and not all of it is locked up like at SaveMart or FoodMaxx. I like my liquor so it's very convenient that I can just go grab it without having to wait for an attendant to grab a key and help me out. I live pretty close by and honestly have a small fridge at home. What this means is that I go grocery shopping a lot and will only do small hauls at a time. I love the convenience of Raley's self-checkout, and regardless, the cashier lines here move pretty fast. The staff here are pleasant. I see them almost every other day and my interactions are always pretty decent if I'm not just doing self-checkout and going in-n-out. Don't forget to download the Raley's app and become a Something Extra member! Some of these member deals are SUCH a steal and you may have to login to the app first to CLIP your coupon to get the deals. Raley's also has discount Mondays, where they'll feature discounts on various items each week.

Unfortunately this was one of my worst experiences at this store. I went in and talked to James…read morewho is always very nice and professional. I let him know I had a return and asked if I return it first? He said if I was doing shopping just hold it until I go through the line. I asked if that was the same if I went through self checkout. He said yes. So I went shopping and was very disappointed that they were out of items of the 3 day sale and no rain checks were being given since it's a three day sale. To be out early on the second day on two items was very disappointing that the company would not make sure they gave stock to support their customers needs. Than to top it off when I went up front to pay for my groceries the young lady up front who was doing self checkout gave me a disgusted look when I told her I had a return. I told her the manager James had instructed me to do it this way. I asked her if she needed my receipt and she ignored me so that I spoke loudly and asked her again. She asked me why I was yelling. I told her I wasn't yelling I was just speaking louder so she could hear me and answer the question. I asked if she wanted to call James and ask him if the directions he gave me were wrong. She gave me a refund but never apologized or smiled or did anything to resemble good customer service. She was a young brown haired young lady and this happened at 545pm at terminal 8 if you want to research store #309. 5/16/26

I was trying to get $20 cash back, so the cashier (big guy with a turban) agreed to let me do it…read morefor $2. I gave him the card, and as he began working with it, I asked if the dog at the front door was friendly (intending to pet it). He completely ignored me, giving me a sense of what was to come. I noticed that there was a sticker on the card swiper that read "ATM Fee: $0.75", so I brought this up (since he was charging me over double instead) and his demeanor immediately changed (from neutral guy ignoring me to offended guy defending his ethics). He began loudly fast talking, saying something like "ATM card means debit card, that's if you do a debit card transaction." I responded that my card is debit (otherwise cash backs don't work). He then changed it to "that's if you buy something, not for cash back" (stores get charged the same exact fee whether cash backs are involved or not). So I nicely offered to buy something instead, but then he loudly replied "no no no that would count as a separate transaction. If you want to buy something I charge you two times." (Why would you need to run a separate transaction and incur double the fees?) At this point I clammed up and stopped talking to him. Since my demeanor had been so gentle before, he noticed this contrast and realized that I myself had realized I was being screwed, so he responded with "hey, it's business". In my mind I agreed; it is indeed (bad) business to nickel and dime a local resident into never returning. Had he let me buy something (in a single transaction) instead, I would've spent at LEAST $10 (and who knows how much more in the future). Since I didn't look local to him as not many Asians live in Merced, this never even crossed his mind. Instead, I won't be returning and get to play with the beautiful dog either, so in the end everyone lost because he wanted to earn an extra $1.25 off me :(

I only came here to buy a mega millions ticket when the Jackpot was at $670 million and from what I…read moresaw this place had everything and anything the average liquor store should have. There are a few knocks I have to give this place though. First off, the smell just blew me away.......in a bad way....it was terrible. Also, she had a German Shepard inside walking around the store which I am assuming is there for protection. Also, the woman who I am assuming is the owner didn't acknowledge me for a good 5-7 minutes while I was at the counter and she was watching her international TV show. My biggest gripe though would have to be that I cashed in a lotto ticket for $5 and she immediately purchased another one for me without giving me my cash back.....I didn't give her permission nor did she ask me. I thought that was extremely rude, and I wanted to do something about it but since the smell was so rancid I decided to just take the ticket and run since I couldn't tolerate it anymore.
