Albertsons

I love this location! The guacamole that they make in the store is always fresh and the employees are always nice except for one woman there named Jennifer. She is always rude and looks like she is miserable and hates working there. Her customer service is always terrible and I don’t even remember the last time I’ve seen her smile. I usually ignore it because everyone else here is always nice, however, tonight was the last straw. I called ahead of time for an item in stock and when I got there is was not in stock. I actually wasn’t mad because I know that this is a grocery store and items go all the time (especially around the holidays) however when Jennifer walked me back to show me that they were out of stock I asked her if she could ask any of her employees to see if she might have put the item on hold for me or not. When she said no I asked if she could see who answered the phone considering I call just five minutes before because I was already on my way to the store. She was very clear that she was not going to help me in any way. My boyfriend and I actually found the young woman we were talking to (on our own, it only took a minute) and she double checked for me and apologized numerous times) I wish I got her name because she was an angel. Like I said, the fact that the items were out of stock was not the problem. I just think that Jennifer should not be working in a customer service field with an attitude like that. If anything they need to put her in the back. I have no problem going to stater brothers (down the street) from now on. The store deserves five stars but I subtracted two JUST for Jennifer’s rude attitude every day

This used to be my favorite store and I wouldn’t even think about going to Staters but I am finding myself there more often lately. Today’s experience really irritated me. I gave two stars because the store is clean, I was able to find what I needed, and most of the employees are pleasant. However, I have noticed a decline in the quality of the produce over the last few yrs which used to be my favorite part about this store. At the deli today there was one lady multitasking (very well I might add) but I waited forever to be helped and the line was growing. She clearly could have used some help. My biggest complaint about today’s visit was when I got home to unload my groceries the young man who bagged them had put the following items in one bag. Hot chicken from the deli, cold deli meat, milk, and bananas. In another bag was my produce and raw chicken. I think the people who are bagging groceries need to be educated on what items are appropriate to place in a bag together. Hopefully my milk and deli meat haven’t gone bad from being in a bag with a hot item. Albertsons you need to step up your game. I used to pay the higher price because I felt I was getting better quality items but I think I will be going to Staters for a while.

I come to this store a lot, the fact it’s maybe 2 minutes away from my house is very convenient. The recent times I have went to the store, my visit was not pleasant at all. I felt like I was being followed and watched. Basically racially profiled against. The first time I thought maybe I was being a little dramatic, but went back a few days later and felt the same way again. I honestly rather take the extra 7 minutes and drive to the Ranch before stopping here again, for any type of grocery.

Once upon a time and many years ago in Highland, this Albertsons was a Lucky’s. Remember Lucky’s? So do I! When they went Chapter 11, many Lucky’s became Albertsons. For a long time, this was East Highland’s only real supermarket. Those who breathed the rarified air up in «The Ranch» hardly ever ventured down to the Stater’s on Highland where we, the great unwashed «down the hill» lived to shop.
Fast forward to a few years ago — and now there’s a Stater’s up in East Highland Ranch proper on Greenspot Road to compete with Albertsons. Competition is good! *sage nod*
This Albertsons is located just where East Highland ends, or begins, depending on how you look at it — in a large plaze on the corner of Boulder and Baseline. I have to give them credit on many accounts — and criticize them on others.
The good…
They have a really good selection of foods and merchandise for a grocery store. They carry brands that are harder to find. Their deli and bakery are really great, and their gourmet selections are pretty decent.
Also of note is their liquor/​beer selection. Gotta give props here — for a grocery store, their beer selection is close to epic. Its no Gerrard’s. mind you — but its pretty damn great! A wonderful selection of ales and lagers from all over… with a great selection of micro and craft beers. They also represent Hangar 24 very well in their selection of not only beers, but other merchandise as well (shirts, etc). Their selection of wines and hard spirits is also very good. Its a great place to go if you want to stock your bar.
The employees are also friendly and helpful.
The not so good…
The prices here are expensive! I would never come here for my normal two-​weeks shopping trip. In fact, I think I tried that about a decade or so ago and I’m still walking a tad funny from the reaming I got! Its a place to go for splurgy stuff… or if you can’t find a particular item at your local store… or if they are having a great sale on particular items.
Also — the meat counter/​butcher area here is a bit of an afterthought. Its small, the selection of meats in the butcher case is small — and the prices are, again, expensive. I admit I’m VERY spoiled when it comes to loving Stater Bros. for their full service meat counter/​butcher.
All in all — Albertsons is a pricey place to shop at. If you can afford it, wonderful. Otherwise its a great place to go for alcohol or for splurgy, special-​occasion stuff. Its great, however, that Highland has a nice range of markets spanning the spectrum of prices and selections. I think the store, overall, is a nice fit for its area.

pretty good store.
everything is clean and it is easy to find stuff

Prototypical grocery store, not too fancy, not too plain. Just what you’d expect in a grocery store. Convenient location if you live in Highland and plenty of parking.

all it takes is one RUDE unprofessional cashier to stop me from shopping at this Albertsons, lots of other store to spend my money

This is my default grocery store in Highland.
Oh you know… it’s an Albertson’s! Nothing really special here, just your regular supermarket in Southern California. However, I like coming here because of my Albertson’s card. you can save a lot if you have one (it’s free!). Oh yeah there’s a Bank of America inside the store :)

This is a pretty nice Albertsons. It is conveniently located right by the hotel I was staying at so it was nice to be able to drive 3 minutes to pick up some supplies for the event I was doing at Snow Valley Ski Resort. Self checkout was open each time I went there and I was in and out within a couple minutes. Staff was helpful when I encountered them. If I’m in the area again, I’ll be making a stop here when I need supplies.

This Albertsons used to be my go-​to supermarket until a Stater Bros Market opened up closer to my house. I started noticing that my produce at Stater Bros was being ringed up incorrectly on a frequent basis and decided to see how Albertsons fared in this area.
I went there today to purchase several different vegetables and the cashier (Kathy C.) rung up everything PERFECTLY. By perfectly I mean: everything was rung up exactly as advertised and the correct unit amount of each produce (which is how it should be done) and that made me SUPER HAPPY. Yes I get super happy about being charged the correct price and so should you. Thug life.
Their produce prices were actually better than I expected as well (of course it helps a bunch if you have the preferred card membership which is free anyhow). I also like their bakery offerings (they actually sell small and normal sized cakes too, not only huge cakes like some places). I haven’t been to Albertsons in a while but I’ll definitely be coming back more often.
They also have those self-​checkout lanes for people who are in a rush or are having those «I don’t want to talk to anyone but I need food» days.

I actually do like albertsonms; but this review is for the bank of america located inside the store.
OK, so I was there [B-​A] today 2−15−12 to get some money out of my account. I hand the teller my bank cark and I say I want all the money. She then replies that this card is linked/​functions as a checking card and there is no way I can tell how much is in there. I thought nothing of it so I say I want to take out «X» dollars. The teller ask for my ID and proceedes to say its expired and I can not accept it.
That was no real problem since the california DMV gives out a sheet of paper that has the same authority as a drivers liscense until you receieve the new one.
The teller then proceeds to tell me that I can not handle the transaction (even with the paper). When I inquired why, she exclaimed that we have to scan it. I then ask if I can slide my bank card and enter my pin; to which she says «NO».
That sheet of paper from the DMV is legit and carries the authority of the agency. I do have a different bank and all the clerks have sought approval from the manager on duty and processed my various requests.
Everyelse I have done business at has accepted that paper, but not this bank.
The teller at B of M (yes; I did mean to say BM), did not even ask for a managers approval or suggest any other way this could be done. I then got almost what I needed from the ATM, and when I get my updated ID I will close my account with B of M.
You think Albertsons would be respoinsible for the actions of what goes on in their store, but I guess the extra rent generated is a nevermind to them.

FYI: Effective this week, spend $ 100 in gift card purchases and earn $ 20 grocery cash. For last minute gift card buyers. ;)
Although a lil more expensive than other markets in the area, the chicken and meats behind the counter are GOOD! great to take to a BBQ, just an FYI for next summer :)

went to buy one item and only one check-​stand open. A customer with a full basket in front of me and the checker never called for help. now there are about 4 – 5 people waiting and the checker still not calling. when I bought my item (1) I was pissed, and she knew it by my body stance. Then she gives me that «have a nice day» attitude. what the heck?

wow! I paid them a visit yesterday after the redlands fiasco visit.
We were there for about 3 hours. I had a ton of coupons to use before they expired. I went through the line every thing was perfect then the store manager came and voided my entire order. Said that I could only used 1 coupon per transaction. Ok, fine, I will split all 80 items up and pay for them separately. So i WALK around and look for the store manager because I want HER to check me out so she will maybe realize how retarded this policy is.
So she is kinda pycho looking in the first place, she does not blink and she smiles alot. BUT I could tell she is hating me! She tossing some of the stuff, and I know she is restaining herself from jumping over the counter and strangling me for using so many coupons. I could see it in her crazy non blinking eyes.
So we get to the meat. I had the deli girl weigh the meat so it weighs exactly to equal $ 2.00.
My partner tells the store manager, hey I would like to compliment your deli girl, she was so patient and nice to us. we were VERY happy with the service she provided to us. We had her package all the meat individually and she was very patient about the entire thing. THe store manager looks up and says, she must have done something wrong with a false label, she mumbled something about intregity and she RAN back to the deli counter and was talking to her. Poor deli girl, we could see her eyes get big. the idiot sm comes back and says, she did everything right. WE say, we KNOW she said we were COMPLIMENTING her service. I then tell her, why would you accuse your employee like that, she did nothing wrong. The idiot says nothing.
wow, impressive! I am not going to shop at a store where the managers treat the employees AND customers like theives.

I used to frequent this joint a lot. Now that my rents live down in beautiful San Diego, CA, I thought I would be the first one to review this place. This place is usually busy, because it is nicely located in a strip mall, but the places surrounding it are neighborhoods. They usually had everything I needed. Though when I needed to buy booze, i usually went to Stater Bros, because they were a bit cheaper. But other than that they met my needs. The aisles are always nicely stocked, and the staff there are usually friendly. If you bank with Bank of America, they are also located in here too. The parking lot was ok, but during peak hours be careful. Crazy people, crazy parkers, crazy drivers. LOL!
