Albertsons

It is 3÷13÷16. At 6:15 pm I walked in to this store to purchase some things from the customer service counter. When I walked up, no employee was working behind the counter. I stood there for 10 minutes before a cashier yelled to me, «she done went somewheres, what you need?» I said I wanted to buy some cigarettes. She replied, «oh yeah you’ll have to wait on her to get back. I don’t know where she done went.» Another 15 minutes passed before «Keery/​keely» (couldn’t understand her name when another cashier asked where she had went) finally walked behind the CUSTOMER SERVICE counter, where she asked, «what you need?» with a horrible attitude as if the line that had now formed was inconveniencing her.
My question is… what is Albertson’s definition of customer service? If that employee is your answer, then I will never be shopping in any of your locations ever again.

«Supermarket coolness.». I do not normally shop at chain supermarkets, but when I have been in a crunch, Albertson’s has always come to the rescue! There have been numerous times that I have come in here in a complete hurry, found exactly what I needed and they had it in stock. One thing I cannot stand is when I walk into a grocery store, in a hurry and come to find that they are out of stock on that item! Albertson’s always delivers, plus you will always find a deal that will save you some money! You don’t need a club card to take advantage of their savings! The grocers and clerks at check-​out are always pleasant (unlike other places), so I have always experienced great customer service here! This is one of my favorite Albertson’s stores!

I usually shop here if I need to grab something really quick. They are a little more pricey than the other grocery stores, but they have deals all of the time. The buy 1 get 2 free steaks and pork chops are always the first thing I grab when it’s tailgate season. The employees are always nice and offering a helping hand. The bakery has improved. They have more cakes and cupcakes now :) I’m happy about that since this is where I come to buy all the birthday celebration things for my coworkers.

Good selection, good prices, helpful employees while I was shopping. My only disappointment was the extremely poor bagging – had someone just to bag and she was just tossing things in. I shop with reusable bags which can hold a lot when bagged with a little thought. I had to rearrange to get cold and fragile items out from under heavier items.

Albertsons is growing on me even though I prefer a local or family owned establishment in general. This place has 2 packs of 4 Atkins shakes for $ 9. So that is 8 shakes at basically a dollar a piece. Um yea, that’s a cheap breakfast in my book. Anyway, I mainly come here when I need fresh seafood and meats and also dog food. When I need veggies I’m at Southside produce and when I need anything other than dog food and meats I’m at Mathernes. But like I said before this place is growing on me… I really like a brand of ice cream they carry. I think it is called ridgewood farms. Its in a yellow and red container and it is really cheap. Very soft. Oh, and they have a good beer and liquor section.

The employees are always SOOO NICE, always asking if they can find something for you! They are always having sales, and their produce section is ok. There is an adjoining liquor store that will get you in and out the store quick. If the lines every start to get long, the manager quickly opens up more lanes!

I do enjoy seeing what other state’s food stores are like and heading down to Louisiana, I was most definitely going into one of the local food stores. Albertsons is large and it’s pretty easy to find things but the set-​up is different than mine (for obvious reasons as it’s not an Albertsons). I asked a worker where an item was and he quickly found it for me. The brands here aren’t the ones at my store but it’s because I was 1,350 miles away, it’s to be expected. Overall; nice store, decent prices (one of my items was way pricey which was a shock to me) and they sell Saints and LSU stuff here, such a huge market for it I guess.
