Her Long fake nails are highly prone to being unsanitary. Studies show they harbor significantly more bacteria, fungi, and viruses than short, natural nails because the space underneath creates a dark, moist trap that is difficult to clean. Common sense 101: Please be smart and stop the spread of disease. Washing your hands often, especially, after touching the 8 POS computer screens at the express lanes all day? Perhaps, long fake nails should not be allowed in a supermarket to prevent illness? Keep it Clean and Safe is very important now. Make it "easy peasy, lemon squeezy" for All customers. I think I will save some time and the hassles, shop online at Amazon.com, delivered to my door, better prices on my few favorites, unlimited quantities, no door dings from parking. Better safe than sorry...

I filled out the order form, and the kind gentleman working at the deli let me know they were out of the hot chicken. No big deal at all. I asked if he had any recommendations, and he suggested the tri tip. I hadn't even noticed it was one of the options, so I was actually glad he pointed it out! I told him to make it however he thought it would taste best since I'm not a picky eater, and he absolutely delivered. The tri tip sandwich was so good! It was packed with flavor, the meat was tender and delicious, and the bread was just right. It ended up being such a great choice, and I'm so glad I took his recommendation. The sandwiches were made quickly, and the customer service was outstanding. He was so attentive, acknowledging everyone who came up to the deli counter while keeping orders moving efficiently. You could tell they genuinely care about their customers. When we checked out, the cashier up front was just as friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Between the amazing service and the delicious sandwich, we'll definitely be back to try more of the deli menu. If you're in Carmel by the Sea, Bruno's is absolutely worth a stop!

I was overcharged during my last visit. I got a three pieces of ribs that were from the deli section pre-cooked and I asked how much they would cost and the gentleman who helped me said 8.99 a pound. When he rung it up, he quickly took it off the scale, but I noticed it said .39 pounds and later after getting rung up and leaving, I noticed that I was charged five dollars!! Five dollars was written on the package. No indication of the weight was written on the package. He was also very selective of picking up the pieces he gave me...and I noticed that the pieces I got had large bone in them and very little meat. Definitely got less than a quarter pound of meat altogether once I removed it from the bone. So I have decided not to return because I don't trust that they're ringing up the meat correctly.

Rather than understand that I wanted to keep the attractiveness in tact, she decided to take exception to my request. Then another employee walking past made some nasty comments about we don't even have those kind of containers. So I pointed them out in a nearby display of baking goods. Then after a lot of sneering and snideness a man came up from behind the counter to gruffly inform me that they are out of those containers and I will have to take they have. The girl knew, because I told her, that I wanted the cupcakes to remain attractive. So as she boxed them up I watched and she made a point of damaging a few. I should have told her shove them! What the hell is not understandable about wanting your carefully decorated baked goods to not get smear in the box?! Why was that so hard to understand? I have a photo of the cupcakes-- the only undamaged one in front. I'm reluctant to make any more purchases because they made it an unpleasant experience for no good reason

Price wise it wasn't much different than most grocery stores, but their select of snacks, produce, and meats offers a much more unique variety of imports and smaller brands.

Filled with pasta salads, couscous, meats, cheeses, and other tasty items perfect for a beach picnic. This is a great place for visitors to load up their Airbnb's or stock that hotel mini fridge.

Unacceptable.This is frustrating since there are only 2 Safeways in the town. Lack of competition allows this store to get away with mediocrity.

This morning, both employees saw me standing at the counter waiting. One was folding towels, the other was facing me. They made eye contact multiple times, then deliberately looked away without acknowledging me. It was very obvious I needed help with something. I had placed an online order for two sandwiches, which came out to $33.69. For that price, the least I expect is basic acknowledgment. After waiting long enough, I finally asked, "Am I in the wrong area?" Instead of a simple, polite response, I was met with an irritated "What do you need?" from both of them, as if I was inconveniencing them. When I explained I had an online order, I was told, "It's right there," with a dismissive point toward the shelves. No greeting, no guidance, no courtesy. I'm a local resident and work in healthcare. Even on difficult days, I make a conscious effort to treat people with respect and kindness. It's not that hard to acknowledge someone standing right in front of you. This world is already full of enough frustration and rage. A little basic courtesy goes a long way. On a positive note, the hot dog stand guy out front is always super nice and friendly, which makes the contrast even more noticeable. Customer service doesn't require perfection, just basic decency. Unfortunately, that seems to be missing here.
