The aisles are crammed with displays trying to entice you into buying more. It is hard to maneuver through the aisle. I feel sorry for the elderly shoppers with mobility issues as they try to navigate the store. I've seen a wheelchair user have to turn around in the aisle since they could not make it past the display. Definitely an ADA violation. As if they care! This is on top of the carts left in the aisle by employees as they are stocking the shelves. Their convenience is more important than blocking money-spending customers. The cashiers are busy on their phones, so checking you out seems to be a secondary priority. When the bagger falls behind, the cashier will not help bag the groceries after ringing you up. Instead they start ringing up the next person while you are still waiting for your groceries to be bagged. Makes it easy to mix up whose groceries are whose. Anything to get back to their phone quicker, I guess.

I enjoy shopping at this grocery store because it is always very clean and organized. If I have…read moretrouble finding something, I can always count on a store employee to assist me. Another reason I choose to shop here is because they have self checkout which is something that is lacking at Vons Encinitas down the street. It allows me to get in and out without having to wait in the checkout lines. A plus is that the store is located in a shopping center with other businesses like Trader Joe's, CVS, Citibank, Sephora, Discount Tire and a multitude of eateries and coffee shops making it a "one-stop" destination.

It's nice to have a Smart and Final close to us. They have a good produce selection and fresh from…read moreorganic and non-organic. Very limited mushroom selection they have portobello, cremini brown mushrooms, and white button; I was looking for shiitake, inoki , king or even shimeji mushrooms. Produce are all as fresh. I wish they would have a better selection. They have a great floral department, fresh flowers, orchids, bouquets, and more very reasonably priced. Their checkout counter people are very friendly and very quick. They sometimes can get crowded but when they see more than three people in line, they open up another cashier. Good prices very casual. They also have a few restaurant type equipment from small wares to storage containers I like their storage equipment that are 1 quart or 2 quart that come with lids.

It is located in an overcrowded strip mall, with way too many businesses, not enough parking spots, and some of the worst and rudest drivers around. People fighting over spots, because they are afraid to walk a few hundred feet. The staff was very nice, friendly, helpful. The person giving out the samples was warm and friendly. Free samples add to the ambiance, and like Costco, I think it helps get people in, buying the sample items, and more food in general. I am surprised that more stores don't do this. This location seems to be not as big as some of the other locations that I have been in, but I didn't notice any products missing. It was relatively crowded on a Saturday morning, but we were able to get in and out in a timely manner.

They have ample parking. Trader Joe's offers a diverse selection of products. For example; high quality olive oil, fresh meat, seafood, dairy and non- dairy products, salad, salad dressings, cheese, candies, chocolate, and bakery. In addition to their frozen section, beauty products, and fresh produce and fruits, and canned fruits. They also have wide variety of wine with affordable prices. Their flowers and roses come in myriad of colors. They have wide selection of beautiful bouquet. The service is excellent. The staff are very friendly. I love to shop at Trader Joe's wherever I go.

Tip: Flip all your items in cart so Barcodes showing. It makes it easier for staff and super fast for you. Huge selection of items here. For some reason, they don't have frozen Atlantic salmon like other costcos. Great value on everything including gas. Food court closes at 8:30pm.

Racism, rudeness, and hiding behind "company policy" to avoid taking any responsibility…read more The customer service line is either never answered, or they pick up only to immediately hang up. They will politely offer to take your name and number so the GM can "call you back." But as noted in other 1-star reviews--and likely due to their ongoing lawsuit--this is just a cheap "power move" to shut you up and get you off the phone. They leave you hanging like a flaky high school crush who promises to call but never does. Are we back in high school?? I guess ghosting customers is just another strategy they apply to "everyone." Go somewhere else. Not all Costco locations are like this. I genuinely wonder why this specific branch operates this way and why corporate headquarters hasn't intervened. I wasn't even bothered by the terrible parking since it's a busy area, but after reading countless other reviews about customers being mistreated, I only regret not seeing them before I became their next target. To the employees who are so obviously miserable in their jobs: Life is short; stop wasting it bullying others. If you are that desperate for a power trip, run for office or join the CBP. Costco should not allow its employees to aggressively patrol a warehouse like badgeless police officers. Customers are expected to be polite, yet here, it is the staff who go out of their way to be hostile. Living such a grumpy, toxic daily life is not only unproductive but actively harmful to yourselves. To my fellow 1-star reviewers: There is currently an ongoing lawsuit against this specific location for mistreating its customers. While there is no verdict yet, according to reports, the customer who was offended enough to file the suit had his and his family's memberships abruptly canceled by Costco and was barred for life. What a stellar business model for handling customer relations. My sincere respect to Mr. Michael Ydigoras, who stood up not only for himself, but for all those whose voices may never be heard.

This Ralphs is one of the bigger ones in the area, and a while back it was pretty fresh and modern…read morewith the remodel back around 2016, especially when compared to some of the much older Ralphs stores. The parking lot does not have enough spaces to accomodate all of the businesss and there are only a few ways to get in and out. People do not pay attention when driving here, so be vigilant. They do have a large selection of products and there are several specialty rows with several houseware items. They have a few fresh food options, sushi bar, salad bar, etc. and a Starbucks inside. It always seems to be overcrowded due to all of the housing in the area and the UCSM campus. Ralphs is way better than their competitors in my opinion, too bad the one in Vista/Oceanside closed.

So being me, I of course ordered $105 worth of groceries. What is supposed to be a time saver turns into an ordeal because you start getting never-ending texts about everything that they don't have in stock and they wanna substitute this or that and this isn't available and all of this nonsense so in the end my bill came out to just under $100 which made it full price and because they couldn't just handle it over the phone and just give me my $20, I actually ended up just returning the whole order so now they get to put it all away and that's what bad customer service gets you.

I needed a few items for a party that I was attending, and I found several things that were very reasonably priced. The store itself is huge and they have so much inventory of different items. Their bulk section is bigger than any I've ever seen and they have a little bit of everything. Their produce department is big too. They have some premade items in the deli area as well as breads, cakes and pastries. They have a good selection of pet food and treats. They also have rows and rows of refrigerated foods and frozen foods. I'll definitely come back and explore when I have more time but I found everything I needed without issue. They have a lot of the same brands as most stores do and some that I don't know.. I did have more than 15 items so I had to check out through a checkstand, but I could see if I needed to come and get something quick, It would be much faster to use the self checkout. Also they only take, cash, checks or debit cards. I'm glad I knew this in advance.
