    I just made a wonderful discovery. Pokerville Market is not just an all-around fabulous grocery store. They've got an incredible deli, too. I'm glad to know they keep surprising me! I'd never considered them as a deli option, in part because it's not really advertised. I guess the better places are harder to find. The lady behind the counter made us up some fantastic sandwiches. Not wishing anything fancy, I went with a classic turkey and swiss with all the toppings on sourdough. The perfect mix of flavor and texture; the perfect balance of ingredients. Throw in some chips from a couple aisles down and you have one of the better sandwiches I've come across in Amador County. Now I have yet another reason to stop in to this small-town, locally-owned establishment went I'm in the area.

    Assorted local honey. Blueberry,blackberry,and more

    This market doesn't always have the lowest prices but it has what you need, and there is a clearance section near the front where you can get some good deals. The pizza is pretty good here and makes a great snack while out walking. I like the combo a lot and they often have pepperoni by the slice. You can finds lots of varieties of local honey like pine ,blueberryand wildflower,among many others.Great place to find wine for your meal as well. At the deli there are some good salads like the Greek salad,and the bakery has interesting items like Nanaimo bars. They didnt have turnips last time we were there.Good one stop shop.

    One slice of meat ! There is more bread than anything !  So disappointing !

We live about two miles from this Save Mart in Jackson, California... Our population is just over 5,000... Virtually any store we walk into is staffed by neighbors, friends or others we know... All those disclaimers said, let's look at this store... The first thing you notice is that it is spotlessly clean... Next, you are likely to be greeted by not one, but several members of the staff... Always with a smile that says they are happy to see you... A left turn will take you into the produce department... For a rural community, we have a better selection of top quality produce than most of the stores in our larger neighboring urban communities... The prices are fair and competitive -- again, not always the case in rural stores... Other reviews have mentioned Phil, the store manager... He is well worth those mentions... His crew has been trained to be just about everything you could hope for in a grocery store staff -- friendly, informed, helpful and willing to go a long way extra for their customers... Ask where is something in the store, you do not get directions, you get led to the aisle and shelf... In most cases, they will also mention similar items on sale or better quality at the same price... Now the problem with a small community: the meat and seafood staff have become so familiar with our preferences that they will go out of their way to snag us in another area of the store if they see us when they have received something fresh that they know we will like... Fresh Dungeness crab, true cod or lovely ahi, doesn't matter... They'll find us to let us know they have it... Best grocery in Amador County, hands down...

My strawberries were not coming up with the discount, which was posted by the strawberries that they were two for five dollars. I spent a little bit of time searching for the right berries and put them in my car and along with some other things that weren't coming up with the discounts I had somebody come over that worked there. A woman with long dark gray hair and glasses. I showed her that the discounts weren't being marked off on my list of items, and she said these strawberries were organic so they're not that sale price of two for five dollars. And I said no the sign clearly is posted on both sides of the display regarding The berries that aren't organic and the berries that are organic and I offered to show her the sign. She continued to argue with me and then literally took my two boxes of strawberries out of my cart and voided them on my checkout list. I thought she was going to go look at the sign or something. I didn't know so I grabbed my purse and followed her across the store to where the strawberries were, and she threw my strawberries back into the display and grabbed the sign out of the bracket that did say two for five. I said are you kidding me right now? And she just marched past me with the sign under her armpit after putting my strawberries back and taking them off of my checkout. So I went back and looked through and grabbed two more boxes of strawberries and went to the manager. Because also this woman gave me the same kind of grief about cheese that was supposed to be 399 instead of 499 in my cart and was really abrupt and abrasive and rude. This woman should not be in customer service let alone helping people and self check out if she literally cannot stand being around customers. I was shocked because I've never had an experience like this at the store, I told the assistant manager and I hope she tells that main manager about the behavior of this employee who was pathetic and so completely out of lying over what was gonna be a couple of bucks difference and then clearly the sign was posted at two for five dollars and it should've been honored immediately.

At 7:01, an announcement came on saying the store had been closed for one minute and to head to the register. Totally fair. I needed one more thing from produce so I hurried- another announcement at 7:02 said to "stop shopping- we are closed" I grabbed my last item and went up front. By 7:03, I was already being checked out. And yet the reaction from staff was... unbelievable. There were several employees standing at the front just staring at me--clearly irritated, like I'd personally ruined their evening. It was three minutes past closing. Not 30. Not 15. Three. Then it somehow got worse. They were out of bags (understandable), so I asked if I could use the hand basket to carry my items to my car, which was literally parked right in front of the doors to the store. I was told no, "these baskets cant leave the store"--and that I needed to go outside and get a cart instead. So I had to run out, grab a cart, and come back in... while the entire staff stood there watching me. There must have been 6 or 7 employees glaring at me with dirty looks like I had insulted them personally. The older checker was grumpy and rude, but honestly the whole team contributed to making the experience feel hostile and unwelcoming. I completely understand wanting to close on time. But if ringing someone up at 7:03 feels like a crisis to your staff, that's a management issue--not a customer problem. Also- why not sell reusable bags if you run out of bags so often? I would have bought one to make it faster for me to exit the store. Seems like a simple solution to avoid the extreme stress your staff is experiencing
