I've been shopping at this Grocery Outlet for somewhere around ten years. I usually come here once,…read moreoften twice a month. My complaint isn't with the offerings and I'm pretty tolerant of the shabby customer service from the increasingly surly young women working there as cashiers. But tonight's experience was so obnoxious, I wanted to warn other customers and encourage them to shop at one of the many other Grocery Outlets in the area. I went up to the counter and greeted the young lady. (Silence) I had half a dozen items in my cart and a six-gallon pack of water. I asked her if she needed one of the bottles to scan. She looked the other direction and waved her hand at me like I was a fly buzzing around her head. She totaled everything up and I paid. As I started to walk away, she said "Wait! I didn't ring up the water. My bad." Okay, fine, you're treating me like crap, you've made an entirely avoidable mistake after I offered to help you, but hey, no problem. So she rings up the water and tells me the total - it was over $30!!! I said, "No, I don't think that's right." She pointed to the screen like I was an idiot. I said, "Wait, you're charging me $1.49 CRV per bottle?!? That should be something like ten cents per bottle, shouldn't it? Did the state recently raise the CRV? And Crystal Geyser is only $1.39 per bottle. How could six bottles of water cost thirty bucks?" She told me with absolute certainty (and more than a little impatience) that was the correct total adding "It costs that much everywhere!" So I said, "Okay, well, I'll just put it back because I can't afford five dollars a bottle for water." So I put it on another case of water where the display read, "Crystal Geyser, $1.39/gallon." I wished her a good night and she just scowled at me as she rang for a manager. I got as far as the shopping carts outside when I saw the manager approach. So I went back in and asked, in all sincerity, "Did the CRV really go up to $1.49 per plastic bottle? That's more than the water itself." At first the manager took the young lady's side and I said, "Okay, this is news to me" before she corrected herself to say the young woman rang me up for an entirely different case of 24 bottles and the CRV for THAT was $1.49 for the case. She then told me the Crystal Geyser was $1.39 before adding "Plus ten cents per bottle, so that's $1.49 out the door!" I replied, "Yeah, I know. You two have a nice evening!" No apology, no sign of regret for treating me - inexplicably - like I'm a moron and not an ounce of humility for such a glaringly stupid mistake! At what point did people give up all semblence of critical thinking skills that they would be supremely confident a bottle of water costs as much as a gallon of gas?!? At no point did this young lady even consider that a mistake had been made. She just glared at me like I was the problem. My hand to Christ, I don't want to complain! I don't! And as someone who has worked as a public servant for 40+ years, I'm very tolerant of service workers who are a little unfriendly because, hey, we all have bad days, right? But f*** me! You want to first treat me with indifference, then with annoyed arrogance and then you have the audacity to try to convince me water costs five bucks? I blame this sort of intellectual bankruptcy on Trump. We're becoming a nation where not only do the simplest of facts not matter, but critical thinking skills have been replaced with smug, fact free narratives where something is true as long as someone wants it to be true.

It had its share of creepy crawlies People bringing pet dogs inside and people with knives on their waistbands, though that's pretty standard anywhere you go in East County.. The biggest failure with this place is that there are so many things that aren't 99 cents here. The items that are .99 are smaller versions of what's sold at other stores, factory defects, or are made expecially for .99 cent stores (cheapest quality). Shopping at .99 city used to be fun when everything was the same price, but now it's a hassle trying to verify what the REAL price is. What's good about this particular store? The aisles were nicely maintained and their products were nicely stacked. As always, the best thing about this store are their cheap birthday party supplies. Best deal I found - At $1.99, a glue gun seemed like a good deal. Tip - Two doors down is grocery outlet. Prices do cost more there but it's legitimate high quality product. Also, the clientele over there was vastly different.

I went with the white. I proceeded to the checkout line which was about 15 people deep with only one register open. After a few min they opened a second register and Karen jumped in and cut everyone else in line. As the line cut into two ibended up behind her and with her guilty conscience she told the cashier I cut everyone in line and shouldn't be able to buy what I needed. The cashier I didn't catch his name because he didn't give me my reciept(he was a very small man and wore a shirt that was 2 sizes too small) told her I was very inconsiderate and should care more about everyone else. If I wasn't so cheap I wouldn't come back but I love me some bargains.

All Dollar trees are about the same except some might be a bigger than others. Overall I used to prefer the $0.99 only stores but unfortunately they have now all closed. One good thing about Dollar tree in general is that when I travel, I can find them wherever I go and buy temporary supplies for my traveling so I don't have to carry everything was me on the plane and it's cheap enough I can leave it behind for the housekeepers in the motels to have when I fly back home.

Honestly one of my favorite things about the dollar tree is how clutch it is for party supplies,…read morelike if you've ever had to throw something together last minute or just don't feel like spending a ton, this is the spot. They've got everything balloons, gift bags, wrapping paper, decorations, candles, paper plates, cups, utensils all in one place and super cheap. You can literally put together a whole birthday setup for like 25-30 bucks and it still looks good, which is kinda crazy compared to what you'd spend anywhere else. I come in thinking I'm just grabbing cleaning supplies or dog stuff because yeah they have all that to , and somehow I always end up checking out the party section because it's just too good. If you've got kids or you're hosting anything at all, this place saves you big time without sacrificing the vibe. Customer service is as good as it can get, but there's always a line so come expecting that and then your trip will be five stars for sure. #PartyOnABudget #DollarStoreFinds #PartySuppliesWin #BalloonDeals #CelebrateForLess
