Big parking lot!…read more Inside, very large. A market and really great food to go. (We ordered sandwiches and went to sunstone winery around the corner. ). You write on the paper and just leave it on the counter. Took about 20+ mins to prepare , maybe because the Rueben takes much longer ??? Busy place. Sandwiches were exceptional, not just great ! If camping at lake chacuma or going to a winery - an excellent option. Restroom was in the back , follow the yellow line on the ground, lol. Basically in the warehouse area. Strange , but that's fine.

I am a regular customer and I know what to expect at this store. If I order from the meat counter,…read morethey're usually friendly and do their job very well. The staff know me after so many years and they know what I like. That feels good as a customer. If I need deli-service I can toss a coin on the level of service I'll get. One time a young clerk stood in front of me and stared. No "hello, may I help you." I smiled as I looked at him and said- "Good morning?" I held hope that my example would help him mirror my behavior and be friendlier to the next person. At the coffee counter, my chances are 70/30 that I'll get poor service. It feels like they're doing me a favor. I drink black coffee. Simple and easy, yet it's usually an awkward experience. The supplement department staff is usually excellent and very helpful. The inventory is good. I usually find what I need. The produce section is well stocked. I like their avocados. I rarely need help, but the staff is always helpful and friendly when I do. I love the self-serve bulk spice and tea section. You can save so much money buying in bulk. Check-out cashiers can be very good and friendly or tepid. Considering how much I'm paying for the privilege to shop here, I shouldn't be so casual about this store, but there are few markets in the area. Customer service is a tough job, I understand.

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.

I'm l lover of game such as venison and wild boar. Both are hard to get. I found a place in Texas…read morewhich has both. I love to support local vendors. We were at a wine pick up in the village and walked by this butcher store. They had wild boar but ground. I asked about wild boar meat for a goulash/stew. I was expecting a response such as we can keep wild boar for you and not grind it for you because most customers like it ground. I also asked about venison. I explained that I have an online source but prefer to buy local. Rather than telling me they could obtain both for us on special order, we were just dismissed. We pay an enormous amount of money for expedited shipping from Texas. And the meat is not cheap. It's just bad business practice not to cater to local patrons when you have access to "exotic meats".
