Vons

Sabrina from the Vons Bakery is the one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met. She’s always smiling & has such a friendly, upbeat attitude! The girl is like sunshine of a cloudy day!

This is one of the worse supermarkets in the area. I’m still shocked that they are still in business. Even when there’s hardly anyone in the store, you still have to wait in line, because they have only 1 or 2 lines open. Any other market would not make you wait on line to collect your money. No waiting on a Smart & Final, Stater Bros, Ralph’s… Their meat dept. is a joke. You need to take out a loan to afford a stake. Stater Bros. meat dept, or should I say, huge butcher shop, puts this place to shame. Great quality meats and very affordable. As to why, those other markets are ALWAYS constantly busy. This Von’s has a habit of shelving old product first, especially the milk, which goes bad within days.
I complained about the pricing of some of their products, especially their Morton salt being at $ 1.79, and their answer to me, more than once by manager, cashier was, it was the correct price and one cashier to me was extremely rude as she practically shoved the salt in my face and said; «Well it’s MORTON you know. I said NOWHERE IN THE WORLD or any other market sells salt at $ 1.79 I’m sure that it was a mistake of the 120+%, when it goes for .79. But as you can see by this pic I took, there salt Safeway, was .79 while Morton is $ 1.79.
I will never go to this rip-​off customers place. I would rather drive miles than to give these rude, incompetent people another penny.

The white lady that made my sandwich gave me such a bad attitude. She answered my questions like i am begging for her food? The way she made my sandwiches was gross. Seriously? What is her problem? She even mocked me when I accidently dropped my change. Giving a customer such a bad service but not just only me even every other customers. I don’t know what is wrong with her but it such a waste for her to get pay.

I go here out of convenience because of my bank but the produce is disgusting here. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen produce with mold on it or expired meat and milk still on the shelves as well. But their produce is the worst.

I love Von’s! This has been my regular grocery store for about 5 years, love the friendly workers! Very nice and helpful! Get the Von’s app! Save money! I recently started buying seafood here too, very yummy! Great steaks, and rotisserie chicken too! The only thing I would complain about is the deli closes a little bit early around 8:30pm, I come late night after work. It would be nice to get fresh lunch meat anytime. Not a big deal. There is a redbox here too! Don’t forget your grocery bags!!!

I live across the street it is walk distance to me but I can’t buy anything from VONS cause They are Very very very expensive even if you are a club member!.. I can’t believe how busy is here you have to wait long lines for the cashier.

This store has gone downhill in the last few years. Never enough cashiers and always have to wait in line. For some reason the express lanes take forever. Produce items go bad after 1 or 2 days… what a ripoff!!! They are too busy monitoring who parks in the parking lot and towing cars instead of making sure there is no expired product on the shelf. They will have your car towed at night and then lie that they never called the tow truck company when you question them about it.
Also, my mom slipped on an orange peel 2 nights ago and fell. Thankfully she wasn’t seriously hurt — just bruises and swollen ankle. Daniel called her yesterday to make sure she is ok… didn’t offer her anything. Just rushed her off of the phone. Glad to see they care when someone gets hurt in their store because their lazy ass staff doesn’t clean the floor!!!

don’t shop in this store at all !!! besides the fact that most of things are moldy or expired they will TOW YOUR CAR while you are shopping !!! yes they will tow your car while you are a paying customer while the homeless person lays in front of the store in a pile of their own vomit… Unilocal is making me give them a star they don’t’ deserve even one

This store is close to my house but I will drive by it to get to Ralphs or Albertsons. This is one of the dirtiest stores I’ve ever seen, you need to check expiration dates carefully as they don’t monitor that, and it’s not unusual to be in line behind 7 or 8 people because they don’t have enough cashiers and there is no self checkout so good luck if you want a loaf of bread in a hurry.

That Laura lady at the deli is an embarrassment… She always has an excuse of why she can’t ring you up at the deli, so you have to go wait in line for 15 min to get one soup. Thanks Laura!

I love this place especially since they’re open 24 hours! I’ve been looking for a local grocery store open late since I work long hours and at night and I finally found it. Plus going late at night means I’m the only one there + no lines! I love the prices and products! This is my new local spot

15 and less lane went to slow. Horrible person at the cashier. their items don’t has bar cod!

It’s an average Vons. What it does have going for it is the convenient location and the Starbucks located inside. The produce is average, and not that a great a price unless there’s a sale. The staff isn’t super friendly nor are they rude or terrible as some other Unilocalers have expressed. The Starbucks staff IS super friendly and quick. It does get really busy weekdays after 7:20 am due to the high school kids grabbing their morning fix before heading across the street to Marina High School.

What happened to Vons? I used to do all of my shopping there. Steadily they have become the most expensive of all the chain stores. It’s not worth going there anymore unless something is on sale.
I’ve always found the staff to be real nice and friendly, but they don’t set the prices. I bet they get bought out in the near future.

I’ve been to this store twice only because it is convenient when I’m leaving the gym. The first time I went the cashier was sort of rude and after I got my groceries he didn’t even give me my receipt (I didn’t realize this until I was ready to my car). The second time I went, the young cashier was texting on his phone while proceeding to scan my grocery items, then mumbling my total to me. The bagger just stood there and I had to grab my groceries quickly before he bagged them up for the person behind me. I’m not sure if I’ll be back because of the service. Ralph’s has better prices and selections anyways.

Vons… now wonder they don’t seem to be too busy these days.
Sirloin steak on sale today but the ad does not mention it is for max pak
So of course the freezer bags come in handy but I wish I would have waited until Itasted the meat before freezing it. It tasted like liver, not sirloin… How does that happen? Im done with Vons. You have dissapointed me too many times.

I only go to this Vons/​Pavilions because it’s close to my house and is in the same plaza as Target, which makes it convenient. Compared to other Vons locations, this one lacks in the produce department and carries a lot less unique items. The produce is always low in stock and the fruits look dry… like they’ve been sitting there forever and don’t show the vibrant shiny colors you’d normally see at other supermarkets. Coincidentally, their meat/​seafood dept don’t look that appealing either.
There’s also a Starbucks, Round Table Pizza & Wells Fargo inside which is nice and convenient as well. The checkout lines are always long… Not sure why they don’t just open more lanes. The only good thing about this store is the dairy and bakery dept. The items there are always in stock and new

Long lines, very limited selection, except in the beer department… but hold on, you might as well start drinking that twelver of IPAs while you’re waiting in line. With no express lanes or self check out, you’ll be lucky to get out of there in 10 minutes flat with 1 item purchase.
Don’t fret! There is a Albertsons minutes away on bolsa chica and heil. Head over there for a better selection and fast service.

I just got groceries today… am a new arrival, visiting for a few months. I had no idea there was a new ordinance here about having to purchase brown paper bags. When asked if I wanted to buy bags.. All I saw was the cloth ones hanging there & I have alot of them so I said no thank you. I paid & then the checker told the bagger I didn’t want to buy bags so they threw all my groceries back in the cart. Wow. I explained that I was new to the area… «big deal «was the attitude. I’m 100% for banishing plastic bags, encouraging the use of cloth bags & even paying for the paper ones! I had to ask a lady in the parking lot how she managed to get her food «bagged» in the store! Glad I didn’t lose my temper or return rudeness for rudeness, not worth it… but I won’t be shopping at Vons, which is kind of a bummer as my grandmother shopped here for years.

1. July 26 2013 between 5pm-​6pm.
Pros:
2. Brittany Deli Sandwich maker made my sandwich better than the other Vons I’ve visited.
Cons:
3. She didn’t indicate the options of what types of eggs they had (just omelette, no hard boiled, no sunny side up, no egg salad, but had white omelette). If I knew earlier white omelette was available I would have requested it but the fact that she didn’t but was suppose to tell me was lame, just automatically gave me regular omelette.
4. Felt rushed b/​c there was a queue at the Deli and she needed to go on break.
5. She didn’t practice sanitary prepping: didn’t wash hands, didn’t change gloves, cross contamination.
6. She wrapped my sandwiches shoddily.
7. It was a Friday evening: Vons only had 2 cashier lanes open = FAIL.
