Save Mart

They’re so so. Lately, I’ve been going to lucky’s across the street since they seem to be friendlier. Not that this store in unfriendly but there’s that feeling of it. Maybe annoying is better word. I don’t really care if they do or not say hello. It’s probably best that they don’t. Then there’s this big African-​American cashier dude who seems to need a vacation. He’s burnt out. The only time he is friendly is when there’s a teenaged gal in his line.
Grocery wise, they have what lucky’s have. Clean and looks good.

I have been coming here since I was a little girl. I do prefer it better, the layout is just something I am used to, but driving wise, it is smarter for me to go to their sister Lucky’s.
I feel like the customer service is wayyyyy more friendlier and family inviting wise. People do not look away for fear you have a question and they take you to the damn aisle where you are looking for something. For this reason alone, is why I make the extra bit longer journey to come here.

This is not my go-​to grocery store to do all my shopping. I find that unless you are looking for something specific and on sale, then that’s the only time I’d come to this store or if it’s like an emergency and I just need to pick up something really quick. Otherwise, it’s not very organized sometimes and it seems like it’s a very outdated store. It just feels and looks old to me. The workers there are really nice and they do have a nice bakery section.

I hope the store manager can read this message. I’ve been a regular customer at this supermarket, and I’ve been treated nicely by most of the cashiers and workers in the store until today.
While I was getting ready to pay with my credit card, my husband called me on the phone. So I answered my husband, and I accidentally pressed the debit button. I told the cashier, Eric J, that I pressed the wrong button. He told me with a loud and disrespectful tone,“put the phone down!“
I was shocked to hear that. Maybe he’s had a bad day today. But he has no right to yell at customers. I hope he gets trained again on how to address customers respectfully.
When I got home to write a review, I found out that he’s also been rude to another customer this year, Ms. R. I think the manager should do something about him before this Save Mart loose more customers.

This is not my go to grocery store, but it has some good fruit on sale currently which is why I stopped by. This is your standard grocery store like Safeway/​Luckys. It has everything you need grocery based from fruits/​veggies to baked goods to frozen foods and everything in between.
Parking: plenty of parking as it’s located in a shopping plaza that doesn’t get too busy.

I have been shopping this store for about 20 years. Loved it when they sort of remodeled it a few years ago. The problem is they changed the cashier staff for nights and the two guys leave a lot to be desired, namely Eric Johnson, I was in the store about an hour ago and mentioned that Safeway had Haagendazs on sale for a lower price. Eric replied. «Then should shop at Safeway.» When I called him on being rude and sending his customers elsewhere, he had nothing to say. To bad that he was the so called Manager on duty for the night. I went to the back of the store and sought out another employee that had helped me search for a product earlier. I told him what happened and he apologized and credited me the difference. I also addressed Eric and he then changed his statement in other words –he lied. The guy has no integrity and I told him so. This used to be our Go-​To store and because of Eric’s consistent lack of enthusiasm for his job and disregard for the customers, my husband calls him and another cashier, Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum. They just plain do not care to move fast, nor will they open up another register when there are multiple (5+) people in each line. I have overheard him make smart a** remarks to other customers and it needs to stop.
I like Save Mart but can’t say that I will have to join my husband and NOT continue to shop there with his behavior.,

I go here normally with no problem but last night I went to buy some beer for a thanksgiving party with some friends (they are all 26+). Before the clerk even started ringing me up, he was already giving me and my bf with this look of disgust (I’m guessing he doesn’t like asian people?). There were two separate parties in front of us that bought wine and the other bought a case of beer, and they were not even carded. (They were not asian). In one part, the woman had her prepubescent son with her and no one was carded. Now I was the one buying the alcohol, reasonably, I was carded. I thought That wa already weird because she looked my age.
Now tell me why the f*** did he ask for my bfs ID also? My boyfriend is 32. It MUST be because we were asian. I checked Save Marts website later to look for some kind of policy on this but did not find it. However, Walmart does have similar policy, something along the lines of checking ID of everyone with that person buying the alcohol «at the clerk’s discretion».
Now you could say that this policy «prevents underage drinking» but it really doesn’t. People would just wait outside instead.
So why wasn’t the lady in front of me not carded even though she was with her son who looks underage? She looked about our age. That’s what really gets to me at the end of the day, because then it MUST be a racist thing. My bf clearly looks over 21. I truly feel like I was truly being discriminated against, and that kind of stuff is hurtful. It’s wrong. Never going back here again. The way things went down last night, I’d say this save mart should be careful about how they exercise this «discretion» before they get slapped with a discrimination lawsuit pretty soon.

I used to go here when I was a little girl. I remember way back then there was even a machine where you can print out recipes. No longer here though of course more than a decade later… Growing up in Evergreen was nice, but I moved away to South SJ. This was the cleanest and friendliest supermarket. Last week, I came back here because I was taking my mom to multiple errands and supermarkets that day. She wanted to go here for something and pomegranates but we ended up buying the pomegranates somewhere else. I decided to try the crab cakes. So, my mom and I strolled to the seafood area. I rang the bell for service, but the butcher was really busy in the back. He did a simple head nod to acknowledge us but we ended up waiting about 5 minutes. By the time the butcher came out, I inquired about the crab cakes and if there were any more than the few displayed. He guided me to the freezer and showed me a box of them crab cakes. Hmmm, I saw it was on sale for the entire box and the last one, so good timing :) hehe. Yay, thanked Mr. butcher man and continued to shop. My mom needed some more things. After grabbing more food, after I couldn’t find some stuff, I had to ask some guy in the isle. This Save Mart employee was nice to direct me. Later, my mom needed assistance an item too and she asked one of the clerks. He was very nice and walked around the entire store, and turned out it was sold out, so he assisted my mom in getting a rain check after asking the approval of the store manager. Usually, in a weekly Save Mart or Lucky mail ad, there’s a coupon for a free miscellaneous item when you purchase a minimum of $ 25.
Overall, great service and very friendly here.

Lazy, snobby, and obnoxious staff here. They obviously need to rebuild this place also.

Decided to come here on a whim because it was so close to my house and Lucky’s was closed. I did not realize it was open a little later than it is. The layout of the store is kind of hap hazard but it has a weird charm about it. It’s not a very nice looking super market compared to Lucky but then again you should come here expecting very little and you will be pleasantly surprised. For the most part, their prices are cheaper than Lucky’s and their staff members are enthusiastic and efficient about their jobs. You go on, you grab what you want, and you leave. The aisles and shelves are kept clean which is impressive since the market looks like it hasn’t changed in a few decades. You might have to run around a few times to find what you want though.

I go here mainly for the Pharmacy. The ladies in the Pharmacy are very friendly. I shop while I wait for my prescriptions. One less star because of Brian at check out. Very rude to me. No hello nor thank you from him. Basically no eye contact from him. Maybe racist?

Great prices, aisles Clean, friendly staff… I agree open another line. And limited beer selection

Been coming here for years. But omg open another line. Never enough cashiers to handle the flow. But the produce is always Fresh and the Meat department always carries LEGIT tri-​tips and Pappy seasoned leg quarters! Cashiers are always super friendly and very helpful.

This supermarket is close and has most stuff needed so I dont need to travel so far so I like this supermarket clean and nice

I rate Save Mart as the best supermarket in the area, that’s still open. I was a little dismayed at having passed by lines that were filling up, so that I could get to the «always open» express line. The only problem, as one of the workers verified, the «always open» line is not open after 5pm. So — false advertising it seems.
But then, I brought the issue to a very nice young lady, by the name of Christine or Christina, I believe, who took the time to fill me in on the story. While the explanation she gave did not justify the sign, which was no fault of hers anyway, it was quite nice to be treated with respect.
This is in stark contrast to the grocery store across the street: Lucky, which I highly recommend avoiding at all cost.
The stark difference:
Lucky stock is quite often expired for several months — must be extremely careful. Save Mart stock has not exhibited this issue yet
Lucky personnel are extremely rude and disrespectful. Save Mart personnel are quite helpful and courteous.
The only problem is this: Save Mart owns both stores, so I had to reduce the rating from 4 to 3

Let me start by saying, I hate going to the grocery store. Big crowds, long times and inflated prices. SaveMart’s different. Okay so they don’t have all the glitz and glamor of celebrity endorsers, but the money they save on advertising goes back into my wallet and for that I THANK YOU!
And as far as the staff, always welcoming! Friendly and professional!

They need to step it up on customer service. long lines, empty shelves, trying to find someone to help you find something is hard to come by. I feel they don’t try to win our bussiness. With several stores closing in the area they don’t have to try to win my bussiness. They just take it for granted.
Larry is one of the best employee they got. The others need to take tips from him. I feel it is more management issues than anything else.

I appreciate their customer service at this branch. They make sure that what you buy is fresh and ready to go out the door.

Finally found a grocery store in my immediate area that sells a wide variety of health food products.
I was only here for a hot minute early in the morning so I can not comment on the rest of the store, but I finally found a store that actually has a variety of protein bars and health drinks not just energy drinks and dusty weight gainer bars form the 70s. I reserved giving 5 stars only because I did not traverse the entire store otherwise I would have.
All in all I recommend this store to anyone in the neighborhood who is looking for something healthy that is not out of their way.

I’m not gonna lie; this Save Mart is ghetto. But it’s got that Eastside charm.
I’m not gonna lie; I hate shopping here. But I get my cardio because it’s the most ridiculous layout ever.
Ever since Cosentino’s closed up over the hill, I’ve been on the lookout for fresh fruit and veggies on this side of town.
I’m not gonna lie; Save Mart has dealz yo!
(And some of the freshest produce around.)
There are rumors that a Trader Joe’s is opening where Lunardi’s used to be. (I’ll believe it when I see it.) Until then… Save Mart, it is!
