Albertsons

We showed up Christmas Eve to buy ONE product. Store hours posted 9PM as closing. We walked to the door at 8:53PM and were not allowed in the store by a very unaccommadatng, unfriendly staff. I’ve worked in retail and service industries and ALWAYS allow the customer to be served before closing hours. They had men at the door rudely telling us we didn’t have the right to enter to, again, buy one product. Reprehensible.

Ummm so you’re totally out of two really basic ingredients. And your shopping cart locks up on me when I’m taking my groceries to my car. Which is the first car in the lot. It’s a crappy cart security system if it causes shoppers to have to physically lift the heavy full cart in order to unload it at their car. A man had to help me carry it back over to the store. Will never shop here again. But thank you to the nice man who helped me.

I do not like this Albertson’s. Produce is terrible.
I am going back to Kroger.

This one star goes to the guy who tried to help us tonight. True attempt of customer service. Now for my negative experience. The door on the west end of the store is locked at a certain time at night. Unfortunately I didn’t know this and parked right outside this door. As I walked past 3 different clerks to exit the store, one of them chased after us and alerted us that the door was locked. No problem. Just my luck. Here’s the issue… As we walked towards the oposite end of the store, we passed the manager speaking to another clerk and shrugging and smirking. «He wanted me to give him my key, I’m not giving him my key!» Apparently the nice clerk asked for the managers key to let us out so we didn’t have to walk back to the other door. This was poor customer service on the managers part and just rude! Never going here again.

This Albertson is pretty spacious. I love the deals they have for meats. If your a couponer like me then you know they always have amazing deals and they are very patience when you coupon here. The cashiers are always nice and it’s never crazy busy here, so that’s a plus. I always enjoy going here when I need to shop at Albertson.

I was none too thrilled about having to go to this Albertsons instead of my usual Tom Thumb. The parking lot is not very well lit and I never feel safe walking in there.
The produce is ok. It’s definitely not the best pick of everything. Their seafood as well is ok. It’s actually overpriced for the weight you get. The store itself is decently clean but some isles have a musty smell to them like they were cleaned with an old mop. The staff is decently friendly. Some are nice and others just ignore you.
Overall this is an ok place to grab small items if in a hurry.

Prices are exorbitant.
Fruit is super medicare.
Customer service is cool.
Location is awesome.
Product selection is okay. Missing some goodies.
Not a regular.

These other reviews have me completely re-​evaluating my self-​professed cheapness, b/​c I don’t think their prices are bad, AT ALL! I shop there, because it’s a nice middle-​ground between Kroger & Tom Thumb. ALL Kroger stores smell ALL the time, to me, & Tom Thumb is just out of my comfort zone, price-​wise.
Walmart, Aldi, & the like … umm, no.

It is a Sunday morning, I am sick as a dog and need crackers and Gatorade. How is it that their prices are so high? Not even in comparison to Kroger, but like high for even ⁷⁄₁₁? $ 5 for saltine crackers? Really? $ 2 for Gatorade?! If I can help it, I’m not going back. I’d rather drive a bit to either Kroger (preferred), or even Tom Thumb.

I only go here when I’m lazy. It’s right in front of my house… yea I’ll cheat when I can. Everything is so overpriced… if you can go a mile down to Walmart, do it. But in a crunch, go for it. The staff is OK most of the time, but friendliness isn’t a top priority.
Because of the prices, you’ll probably find whatever you need… cause no one else wants to pay these prices. Damn, I gotta go there now. I’m outta something and lazy!

I didn’t know Albertsons were still around, I’m from so Cal and they dont exist anymore. I was suprised when we pulled into the parking lot and I saw it, my experience with Albertsons has never been anything to write home about, I’ve always felt they were a lil pricey overall but when they have specials on meat you gotta take advantange of it! …LADIES N GENTS… BUY ONE PACK OF BONELESS CHIX BREAST GET 2 FREE! YOWZZZZZZA! We were all over that deal like a fat kid on cake…
Whoop!

I go here for money orders, cakes, alcohol, flowers, redbox movies and cashback. I get so irritated when the customer service line gets long and they don’t call backup. The bakery is fine. The cake and cupcakes I got there are good. I love how u can get the exact amount you want in cashback. No required multiples of 10, or 20s. They always have coolers right out front for 1.00. The security guy is very nice and helpful. They have 2 redboxs which is very convient. But the fish in that place reeks so bad you smell it as soon as you walk in the store. I have always been confused why they don’t stop that mess. Its just gross. Store is pretty overpriced as well. The florist is really good at what she does but can come off as rude a lot of times.

It’s an Albertson’s. ‘Nuff said. Expect little except disappointments. Go when necessary. The food I bought today (bananas, swiss cheese at the deli counter, rye bread from the bakery, and a bag of mixed dried fruits and nuts) was reasonably priced and decent quality.
I wonder if the beer and wine notes are true?

If a large grocer like this has only one register open and I’m customer number 10 in line, there is clearly not even a basic understanding about what is important to customers. If your people are quitting or not showing up to work, then maybe the problem is higher up the food chain? Try harder guys!

It’s clean, organized, and not full of disgruntled workers. Yeah, a little pricey, but I wouldn’t use the word expensive.. . I mean, it’s not bad and it’s conveniently located, so it’s a good place for me to go grocery shopping. I have only experienced good customer service here. I’ve never run into a worker who was rude or uphappy. That’s worth it to me, alone!

This grocery store is a little dirty and old. It’s overdue for an update and the aisle are a bit crowded. The prices are only good on the weekend if you need to pick up your proteins.
Watch out for the meat sale. They usually have ground turkey for really cheap under $ 2 on ads. As well as very cheap 1.98 lb chicken breasts.
This place is full of fun characters.
The best part of this store is the fish market guy. He’s literally over the counter trying to sell you his fish. He’s a really nice but weird post middle age guy. He’s overly enthusiastic and seems to really care about his job.
There’s also an older gentleman that does the checkout. He’s really nice and friendly. He’ll tell decent stories about the day and is always cheerful.
Also, finally the bread guy always cracks me up. He has as a very strong accent. He only works during the weekday evenings. He pushes a cart around with his black chef’s hat chanting, «Hot hot bled!».
The bad part of the establishment are the prices. It’s a bit costly for the basic items like milk. It’s about double here than the Target down the road.
And the worst part of this place is the self checkout. The machines are really slow. I waited 2 minutes for it to process my debit card.
This place does double and triple coupons. But i’m not sure about the exact policies.
They recently added beer and wine to the store too. That part of the store has made the store a little nicer.

This is the worst store I have ever been in. i only go there if I have too! Everytime you walk into this place it smells like FISH! The meat selection is horrible. i would never buy meat from there. You can tell that it has been there for some time. I went there for lettuce one time and every bag/​container was browning with liquids sitting in the bottom. I find it hard to find things in that store too. It just doesn’t make sense. Oh, and there is the same guy going through the store yelling about some hot bread, like there is anyone in the store to buy it. I don’t want to put the man out of a job, but they can just buy a hot box.

The worst part about this store are the prices, I try to go only on Sundays with my Cowboy’s jersey on so I get 10% off, but it’s just so damn convenient for those little things you need during the week! We live a block away and this is just so much easier to get to than CVS or anything else on Frankford. The store itself is neat and clean, but I still don’t really understand the layout, there are 3 different places for cheese so I feel like I’m running all over the store to get my cheese. Don’t even get me started on Albertson’s self check out stands, they are terrible! For the location, I’ll put up with it all.

Ok. I will admit it. I am a grocery store SNOB.
My dad has been in the grocery store business since 1959. He ran epicurean style grocery stores for most of my life. My life as a college student in Waco turned depressing when I had to buy groceries. I still maintain that Waco wouldn’t know a decent grocery store if it hit it in the @#%.
Back to Albertson’s. Last Sunday I ran in here because I was in a hurry and I just needed what I would have considered a small handful of basic items to make a salad for a work picnic.
Unfortunately, this was not only a wasted trip, it made me furious. Why in the world would you need 18 facings of Red Wine Vinegar and not a single row of White Wine Vinegar?
I called the manager over to explain the issue and he explained to me that «I don’t know what happened, we just reset this section». Um, what happened is your set was wrong and no one caught it.
There is a reason Albertson’s is going out of business. It’s because they can’t even carry common basic ingredients on a regular basis… and with Market Street, Tom Thumb, Central Market and Whole Paycheck around… they just can’t compete.
