Dominick’s Finer Foods

Absolute worst grocery store around. No wonder Dominick’s is going out of business. I’ve seen expired meat on display several times. Only one checkout is ever open. Prices are nonsense. Avoid.

I have been a customer of Safeway/Dominick’s for years. Tonight has ended that for me. There is a cashier at this location who is the rudest I have ever come across. If you see Renee run the other way.
I was using the self check out where Renee was on the phone with another one of her co-​workers chatting away. I had purchased some cheeses and wine for my husband and I and was prompted on the machine to wait for a cashier to check my id. I waited and waited while she chatted on the phone. Finally, after waiting at least 3 minutes I asked if she could put her call on hold to take care of checking my id. She then took her time and finally made her way over to me while complaining that I had asked her to help me finish my transaction. As I am walking out she tells me that she would have helped sooner had I not been so rude! Excuse me!!! I was shocked. I turned around and asked her if this is how they treat all of their customers. She continued to yell at me and tell me how rude I was in front of other guest in the store. The most embarrassing experience of my life. I finally asked for a manager and he didn’t seem to keen on fixing the problem and asked me to fill out a comment card. No thank you, I called customer service as soon as I walked out of the store.
Renee needs to realize she is in the business of helping others when you work retail. Your priority is every guest that walks in that store. Anything to do with chatting with a co-​worker on the phone is not tolerated when you have customers in front of you!

This is the closest grocery store to my house, so I only go there for convenience. I went to pick up some wine and a movie with my boo & since it was about 10:30, there was only one employee at the register and only the self-​check outs were open. Soooo I go to pay for the wine and of course, I look 12 so I showed the employee my ID, then he asked my boyfriend & we just got done playing basketball and walking so he didn’t have his wallet on him. The employee was super rude (I know he was just doing his Job & asked my boyfriend for his ID too). But flipped a $h!t and his tone of voice made me sooo angry, I got defensive & walked out calling him names. Lol-​how mature; I acted as young as I look. Long story short-​everyone u are with at the POS (point of sale) is carded for liquor purchases. Tho my boyfriend is 4 years older than me… so make sure you wait in the car or don’t go up to the cashier if you do not have an ID on you. Also, last few times my items have rung up at the wrong price. A $ 4 pizza was $ 8, 99 cent soup was almost $ 3. I could keep going. Double check, especially if you go to the self check-​out.

I don’t shop at Dominick’s very often (prefer Caputo’s, Mariano’s, or Sunset) but I do have my prescriptions filled here, because it’s close to home.
Everyone that I’ve encountered in the pharmacy has been superb to work with. I’ve picked up 2 prescriptions in the last 4 days, so have seen a few different people in the pharmacy.
Both were friendly and knowledgeable, more than happy and willing to answer questions, and give any «must know» tidbits (you know, the gross stuff they have to tell you about the side effects of antibiotics, etc.)
So, while I may continue to do my grocery shopping elsewhere, this Dominick’s is where it’s at for my prescriptions. If it ain’t broke, y’all…

This location mostly suffers from being short on advertised products carried — quite often you won’t find an item prominently shown in the «Sunday Supplement» coupons — apparently the manufacturer didn’t pay the fee for being carried. Also, often times the «insider» pricing that you must go on line to sign up for, then select each week, rings up wrong — and always higher than the sale price. This has gotten better lately though. Management is nice about correcting it if you notice it. Since its the closest store to me by far, I use it just for basics and specials. One nice feature — nobody seems to shop there. so the aisles aren’t usually crowded. The staff is pleasant enough and most are long time employees who know what they are doing.

At the time I went, there were only self serve lanes open (granted, it was shortly after 7 am on a Sunday). However, purchasing my produce was still very easy even though it was self serve. The variety wasn’t spectacular, but it’s a good place to go if you need something quick. Also, there’s a Starbucks inside!

I am not a big fan of Dominick’s in general. I would rather go to Caputo’s or even Jewel. This is the only Dominick’s location I have any experience with so I am not sure how it compares to others of the same chain. I just feel like after they remodeled Dominick’s it got really dark and depressing. Also, the lines are not usually very long, but the check out people take forever!
I came here yesterday because I was going to make Cesear dressing, but realized I forgot to pick up eggs from the grocery store. Since this Dominick’s is super close to my house I decided to run here. When I went to pick up eggs, I saw that they had a Just for U special– which means if you add it to your preferred card on the app, you get it for a much cheaper price… so I did this. The service at this Dominick’s is terrible and it took forever to load. So I got my 18 ct of eggs since it ended up being cheaper than than a dozen. When I got to the check out it did not ring up right so I asked the lady. It ended up that if you enter your phone number on the website and ring your card at the register (or vice versa) it does not work… The check out lady did not really care and said the sale was probably over (I knew it wasn’t). I asked me if I wanted the eggs or not. I responded that I still need eggs, so yes. This is why I am not a fan of Dominick’s… why can’t they just have simple pricing?

Two things that set a grocery store apart — how clean it is and what the staff is like. Other than that, food is food — not much variance in that sense.
The store is clean and well kept. Produce area is in good order and I rarely see fruit flies lurking in the area anymore. Staff here is always helpful and friendly; managers typically ask if they can help you find anything.
The only thing I’m not fond of is that they keep the place a little too dark for my liking. Other than that — it’s a decent place to shop — usually not too busy there so it’s easy to get in and out.
