Vons

(First off this review is strictly for Vons’ parking lot) 8÷12÷2015
Well what can i say about their parking lot besides that its my favorite. It’s pretty big. I had my first date with my current girlfriend here. She was pretty nervous, since we had met on Instagram. She was a bit squirmy, my charm and good looks were too much for her. She had driven all the way from the valley to come see me in the hood. I don’t blame her lol. Well we first went to Tierra Mia Café. When they closed we hung out outside the car at Vons’ parking lot. We people watched. Or should i say we «Hipster watched» lol. A lot of strange people park here at night. We sipped our coffees and got to know each other. This is where we first kissed. Every time we drive by here we laugh.
I recommend this Vons parking lot for all Instagram date meet ups. It’s spacious and quiet. And there is always parking. Thanks Vons for providing me with a dope ass lot to get to meet my current girlfriend.
Tip: For all you single kids out there, Instagram is better than Tinder for dating. Give it a try. You might fall in love in a Vons parking lot, just like I did.

I was just at the store an hour ago with my son and husband but there but we received a huge lack of respect in customer service. A worker named Isidro (cashier) was very rude towards me once he saw me with my WIC pack. Now first he does not know I am a university student with a child and a part time job, thus the reason I require some help from an outside source as WIC. I work hard to provide food, shelter and clothes for my child so I see no reason to be treated as Isidro treated me. He made my trip to the market unpleasant by treating me poorly and with a horrible attitude towards me and my family. I myself work in customer service and treat others as equal individuals with respect because we never know others situations. Other than The situation at the checkout, the other workers who helped bag my produce were great !

This is a really bad supermarket. They have horrible produce. The meat section is surprisingly expensive with poor quality meat. They used to stock the shelves with expired items, but I haven’t seen that in a few months. Several times the seals under caps have been partially opened or pushed through. It’s always an argument to exchange them. Always watch the checkout screen as they scan your items and check your receipt. I’ve been overcharged three times. The floor staff have absolutely zero knowledge about where items are. Checkout staff range from very friendly to rude and apathetic. Lines are usually long and move very slowly.

First off, there’s a huge parking lot, which is always a plus in LA. The downside is that this is he most strangely complicated and labyrinthine parking lot I have ever encountered. Enter from Montana, across the street from the McDonald’s, as opposed to entering from Alvarado, which is usually congested and pretty impossible to cross unless you have a powerful engine and a lot of balls. Inside, this Vons is almost like any other. There’s a deli to the left that does slices meats and cheeses, but no fresh meat or seafood. The produce section is woefully small but he alcohol section is HUGE and very well stocked. You can find everything here from a thirty rack of Corona to a holiday gift packs of Crown Royal and Grey Goose to bottles of Delirium Tremens. The prices are eh, acceptable.

This place is actually pretty cool. It’s Von’s, pretty straightforward here. Not much to rave about, but not too much to hate on either. Staff’s fairly friendly, and the selection is standard. What more can you ask for?

Nothing special, but a convenient place to pick-​up basics when I’m in town.

The worst checkers & staff EVER. Every time I shop here I leave disgusted, every time I have to stand in long line while the staff talks among themselves. It’s 0.2 Miles from my house & I refuse to spend a dime here.

Vons has a rule, 3 or more in line and they are suppose to open another register. The manager was busy chatting with the security guard about nothing. I brought up the policy and she acknowledged it. Los Angeles is so wrong in so many ways.

Really nice grocery store, wish we had one in my area, I’m from Ft Lauderdale and we were visiting in LA and went to this location, really lovely store with a great selection, not a hugh store but thats why I really liked it. It has really nice ambiance for a grocery store! Be sure to sign up for they’re rewards card, really saves you a lot of money, our original bill was like $ 80 and once I signed up for the card it brought it down to $ 65, thats a nice savings!!! Thank you to the cashier for advising me to sign up!!!

This is simply not the best Vons. It’s always busy and has only 1 lane open. The cashier’s keep chatting and pay no attention to you. Not good customer service. With the Ralphs recently closing just north on Glendale, there are not a ton of a nearby standard no-​frills grocery stores. That’s why its always busy here, because people have no choice.
Unlike, say, the Hollywood Vons, this store feels too tightly packed and somewhat disorganized. I have a hard time finding anything and the produce is never fresh and rots pretty quickly when i take it home. Very poor selection of produce, by the way… I needed fresh parsley and it was no where to be found. Who doesn’t have fresh PARSLEY!!!
I can’t hate on it too much, this grocery store has what you need if you need just essentials but I would rather not come here if I had a choice.

This is simply not the best Vons. With the Ralphs recently closing just north on Glendale, there are not a ton of a nearby standard no-​frills grocery stores. Nonetheless, I’ve never really had great experiences here.
Unlike, say, the Hollywood Vons, this store feels too tightly packed and somewhat disorganized. Nuts, for instance, are not packed with the other snack foods, but instead are stacked next to soda, across from the fish. There’s also less selection in produce than other Vons that I’ve seen.
I like it for the convenience, the employees I’ve interacted with there have been perfectly nice, but all in all, I don’t think I’d be shopping here if it wasn’t just down the street.

I hate this place and I hate that Ralph’s closed, giving me no easy options. EVERY time I’m here there are crazy lines and they close registers. It’s extremely cramped, so the lines cause big congestion in the front of the store.
I even took the time to go through one of their surveys to provide this feedback. Never heard a peep. Very poor approach to customer service.

It’s been remodeled and is really nice! Perfect size. Great selection and Friday $ 5 specials. Staff is friendly and helpful. Manager’s specials. Variety of kombucha. Plenty of parking.

Went and ate from the deli today. A nice man named Johnathan helped me out. The sandwiches were amazing, heavy, good, and a great price. He was very friendly and put extra effort into making the food.

Store feels cramped, but the lot it’s on seems quite large. Parking lot itself feels like an accident waiting to happen when you enter from Alvarado, plus the spaces are either very slanted, or people park oddly like they don’t have any fu€Ks to give.
Build a multi-​level structure? Expand the store? I
Store is clean and organized. Service was a bit slow when I went. Not quite sure how to make this neighborhood store feel more inviting.

Doesn’t readily take off expired products, so take a good look at those «best if consumed by» dates! Mom bought a salad that should’ve been taken off shelves 2 days ago. Talk about a lack of quality control.

I don’t’ usually come to this Vons, but I remember this Vons being VERY, VERY crowded back in the day. I am happy that they renovated the place. The bakery has fresh goodies, and the employees are always friendly.

RUDEST CASHIER.
A ton of improvements in the last two years but one rude cashier always rubs me the wrong way. Her name is Jean. I’ve seen her before become really rude with an older woman who didn’t speak english well after she asked about a price check or coupon concern.
I had her many times, and she doesn’t say HI. She doesn’t tell you your total. She doesn’t tell you how much you saved. She doesn’t even ask you if you need a bag. Just the rudest, ZERO conversation woman who spends the entire checkout huffing and rolling her eyes as if its your fault for making her scan your groceries. Also throws around fruit and eggs into the bags roughly. This happens on an empty day when there’s not even a rush.
Store is merchandising 100 times better than it’s been. Incredibly cleaner. More organic food options and new products (cold brew iced coffee) that I would normally have to go to ralphs or gelsons for. Liquor is open and available.
Floor staff however is nice. Always get help from the men stocking the produce. Everyone’s always personable, says hello, asks if you need help. Once saw a produce guy showing an old lady how to pick the right watermelon (large yellow spots).
I say promote the produce guys to cashiers and let people like Jean mindless stock apples all day.
Homeless camp on the sidewalk outside has got to go.
They’re always out of Smart Water.

I hate leaving bad reviews but this Vons is horrible. I think the main reason that it is always full is because it is conveniently located and most of us just figure «well at least they’ll have everything we need, whether it be low quality or super expensive at least it is all in one place».

I mainly shop here for just staple items. The staff is very nice, however, this is a small store in comparison to most vons. Great if you’re just in and out, but always clean.
