99 Cents Only Store

This is like my mini Target I come in to buy ONE thing and I just can’t help myself! Obviously the prices are great! I love coming here to get things for simple DIY projects and kitchen supplies. I’m not going to lie, the lines can get pretty long and at times, it takes a while for someone else to come help out the lines. The staff? Well, it’s a 99 cent store, you can’t expect too much, some are nice and some just need a happy pill and a little lesson on customer service. Overall it’s a good place to get stuff for a good price.

This 99cents only store need to get better workers their was a cashier she was so rude and then they don’t hire enough workers the lines are long

Shit.

This is a 99 cent store remember that 99 cents —
I was just going in for water and walked out with 60 items.
6 fresh tomatoes — gigantic tubs of salad and lettuce which sell for 4.99 elsewhere
plates — wine glasses — chips etc — the biggest 99 cent store I ever saw.
God Bless America — unreal so much for 99 cents

We all love the 99 Cents Only store. Even rich people love it. Sure some are less sanitary than others but hey, it’s 99 cents. My only objection is this location. You get asked for money like five times on your way to your car and they’re all crack heads. And I thought Walmart was bad…

It’s alright. It’s a pretty big store with an okay selection. Staff isn’t really that favorable though. I can go back, but would like to go to other places like the bargain store just across the street.

This is close to my work so it’s a easy stop on the way home. Lot’s of little things I like like getting lettuce for the bunny save some money. some time they do really good at stocking the frozen goods. Sad to say this location has remodeled and the lines are always too long.

Pros: This place has lots of selections. Almost everything is 99c. They also have a security guard.
Cons: The atmosphere seems uneasy maybe due to location. The tile floor definitely needs to cleaned or altogether replaced. Only one or two registers are opened, therefore slow check outs.
There are other 99c stores that are of better «quality,» but this store still has the same «quantity» as other stores.

My mother in-​law works here and from the things I’ve heard, the guy «Vince» that runs this place is a slumlord. He treats his employees like dogs and has zero respect for their well-​being. He takes advantage of his workers and seems to discriminate against those who do not share his nationality (hispanic) My mother in-​law is not one to make waves and doesn’t say anything for fear of losing her job, however my husband and I aren’t as forgiving. This type of behavior from a superior in a management position is absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional. She is an older woman and has worked at this location for over 5 years, and has yet to receive full time hours as told after her 90 day probationary period. The exact reason for this has not been formally addressed however, I’m assuming it’s so the store will not have to provide her with full-​time benefits.

This place used to be staffed with nice, efficient, and helpful employees. It seems like all of those employees have found a better retail store to work at. The employees that work here now are extremely rude, snobby and just create a big hassle for everybody.
Instead of being patient and explain to customers why they can’t help them on certain matters, they instead start attacking them and bashing them and treat them as if they’re stupid for coming to them to handle a problem.
Also, instead of owning up to their own mistakes, they try put the blame on the customers.
They also need to learn not to make fun of customers. I witnessed three female cashiers cackle like rabid hyenas as they all made fun of customers after being extremely rude.
The cashiers here also do not know how to work a register. They should either receive more training, or the store should really consider replacing these lazy, snobbish employees with more efficient workers.
If you want to quality service yet still be able to get cheap items, I suggest going to Howdy Bargain Center. They’re staffed with efficient employees and it seems like there’s always a new bargain every week.

In general, this store does carry most of the non-​perishable items that I usually purchase (for example: sandwich bags, batteries, etc.). Unfortunately, this location is one of my least favored 99 Cents Only Store. The floors appear like it needs a good cleaning and also some of the produce looks like it is past their freshness. There are vagrants that loiter in front of the store and I have been solicited a couple of times by panhandlers for change inside and outside the store. There does not seem to be a safety issue at this time concerning strangers approaching you at the store, but I would recommend going to another 99 cent location.

I’ve only visited this store once, and it was on the morning of July 4, so the lack of crowding may be due to that. In any case, the layout of this particular store is so much better than the 99 Cent store I regularly shop at. There is space to enter the store without dodging around merchandise or the carts of those leaving. Aisles were not blocked by goods ready to be put on shelves. I had no wait to check out and no complaints. I’m only holding out on 5 stars until i visit this location again to ensure that my experience was not a fluke.

Decent store but be sure you dress well or the security guard starts following you around and goes through your bags before you leave every time. I don’t have a lot of money or a car so have to carry a backpack everywhere and my hair tends to get a bit messy after being at college all day.
Wearing my Fugitive recovery agent badge around my neck seems to keem the dude away haha

Super huge variety of everything. Make a budget and stick to it! I’m surprised at how many brand names I saw on the shelves. Philadelphia indulgence cream cheese, coffee mate natural bliss, pillsbury biscuits, etc. The best 99 cent store I’ve ever been to! There’s been several times when I find Target brand items like Cherokee, or Circo stuff for babies. Recently bound big-​bow headbands for girls, originally $ 5 at Target. Only $ 1 at this 99cent store. Cool!

First things first, I love that they sell a dozen of eggs for only 99 cents. The store is somewhat clean, and organized. Their milk, of the same size, also is cheaper compared to the other stores. Very cheap merchandise like Colgate toothpaste, they used to have the Dove moisturizing soap. Cheap plastic containers for food storage. Vitamin E oil for 99 cents way cheaper of the same brand from the other stores. Produce, like my organic fruits and veggies for 99 cents, which most of the time are fresh (I am addicted to fresh), what can I say.
During checkout however, you have to wait forever (my time is precious so I prefer a speedy check out, as much as possible). The line is not that long, they’re just super slow, and they don’t make use of the other lanes.

A 5 star review of the 99 cent store? You’re darn right, I love this place. They have a great selection of produce, a pretty fair dairy section and more ramen choices than you could ever imagine. Yes, it is kinda ghetto and yes– you’re on your own to find stuff. But don’t let that deter you. We’re all trying to save our money, and this is a great place to do so. You’ll go in for a couple things, and walk out with a cart full.

If you’re part of the 99% revolution I know I haven’t seen you at the 99 cents store. I use to shun the 99 cents store but after shopping at Von’s for eight months (it’s close by) I came to realize it’s not that bad at all. A friend recommended I start shopping there to save money and I checked this one out and made out with 4 huge bell peppers, La Victoria enchilada sauce, 2 cans of Campbells pork and beans, a pint of milk, green onions, a bottle of garlic salt, a bottle of cumin spice, and a pack of hot dogs for ten bucks.
Before I got to the register I figured at Von’s this would cost easily $ 18 — $ 20. The Bell peppers were huge and fresh and cost $ 0.50 each! The spices alone would cost close to $ 3 at the regular store. Don’t believe me? I don’t care, but there’s a Ralph’s in the same shopping center and you can compare prices there. Definitely need to check expiration dates, and just use common sense and look at produce to check for any oddities but other than that it’s where you should shop if you’re part of the #OCCUPY L. A/O.C/NY/SF crowd. All you revolutionaries claiming you are the 99% but yet you’re still shopping at Henry’s, Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods… or Vons.

Had enough of this store! I’ve made several complaints, all of which resulted in a canned-​response:
1. The bathroom in the back had no working lock on it. I raised hell about it. Last I checked, someone screwed in a sliding-​latch that probably wont last long.
2. They openly sold expired milk. Some of them up to a week after the date. They wanted my home address to send me a «Refund», most likely the 1 $ plus an implied invitation to their mailing list. Believe me, I get enough junk mail as it is.
3. Just recently one of their neanderthals demanded ID for a credit card purchase, illegal under california state and a violation of merchant agreement. If you want to look it up, its CA civil code 1747.08. You’d think a chain wouldn’t try to go up against the state with the biggest book of privacy laws written to protect us from places like this and Frys Electronics.

By far, one of the bigger 99 cent stores I have seen. The place is clean and everything seemed pretty organized to me. I even bought a watermelon here for one dollar!!! Rather i should say, 99 cents, since food is not taxed. I’ll be honest with you I normally would not buy food from here but I really wanted to try what a 99 cent watermelon would taste like. And by golly, it was darn good!
However, I would recommend that you definitely check the expiration dates on the food that you purchase here if you plan on doing so. It is, after all, «the 99 cent store». You don’t wanna get sick over $ 1.
The cons: I spent $ 29 here the other day. On what you ask? I have no freakin clue. haha I just went there because I was bored.
Anyway, this place is entertaining to me. You can buy almost everything for a buck. I believe there’s a Stater Bros. right next to this location. Why go there to buy a tube of toothpaste for $ 3 when you can go right next door and just like the store name it will cost you «99 cents only».
Goodnight.

Wow! I m definitely surprised that I m the first to review this place. I think I m probably the only one that owns a computer that shops at this place, but anyway, I love it. I love the prices, and love the of brand products they sell for 99 cents. Once in awhile, you can score on a «named» brand product such as the Clearasil face wash, or maybe even toothpaste by Colgate, but most of the times you just gotta deal with the off brand items. Fabulouso, an all purpose cleaner is a product you can only exclusively find at the 99 cents store chain. If you ever wonder why your hispanic neighbor’s floors and laundry smell so good, just come on down here.
I usually come here when I m buying miscellaneous stuff that costs an arm and a leg at the grocery store, such as paper towels. You only use em when you spill something, and it goes straight in the trash. It’s not like you are rubbing your precious booty on it anyway. Giant paper towel rolls at 99 cents are worth the prices. Ultra thin 3 pack toilet paper rolls at 99 cents are probably not worth the price. You gotta choose your battles here.
This store has a small crowd control issue, and limited amount of check stands. If you guys want the deals, a little wait in line shouldn’t be a big deal.
