Albertsons

They are closed. :(

This store is closing… its a shame because Vons & Stater Bros are over priced.

I wish there were other grocery stores around… I mean I’m sure there are but this one is very conveniently located. 3 stars for location…0 stars for customer service. I’ve witnessed a large man who works there yell at an old lady because she was having a hard time using the self check out thing. Not nice!

This grocery store has its ups and downs. They took out the Bank of America, said they were putting in Chase, but that never happened. Produce is pricey, along with their deli (Albertsons’ brand roast beef is gross!) and their dairy products, pretty much everything is pricey in this store but at least it’s clean-​ish. (A huge bottle of Lawry’s Garlic Salt is $ 4.99 here, $ 1.99 at Stater Bros.) Oh, and some of their employees aren’t the nicest people in the world.
The only thing this market has going for them is the convenience. There’s 2 Redbox Kiosks in here too. Don’t bother with coupons through self-​checkout. never works, you have to get an employee to authorize it and everything.
They do have good Bolillo-​like bread and hot french bread in the afternoon though. They’ve also been holding these «monopoly-​like» games where you collect pieces and win prizes, but it’s all fixed, it’s difficult to win things.
There’s not much good stuff to say about this store, heh…
(at least it’s air-​conditioned)

I come here pretty often since it’s down the street and has two red boxes inside. People could be a little more friendlier though

Why must you take away Bank of America? =(
I usually buy my meats from this location, and love the guys working back there. He always gives me his personal recommendations on different cuts that I want, and selects the least fatty ones for me. And even recommended me what types of seasoning is best for whatever cut I want.

I’m big on produce. This location has a nice produce section, but it could be better. There seems to be lots of the same thing and I would prefer a bit more variety of veggies to choose from. The store is always bright and clean, which is nice. There is a nice selection of merchandise, both known brands and their store brand. There are good deals to be found if you have a membership card. I like having the option of self-​check out or being helped by a checker.

Remember that thing in my first review about this place having a very good pharmacy? Yeah, nix that shit.
My last two visits have been absolute crap. Last week I had to wait over an hour and a half for something that I was assured would only take 20 minutes. Then yesterday I took in a new prescription and was told that it would be ready that evening. I went to pick it up the following evening and sure enough, it wasn’t. The person that handled it failed to fill out all the information on the documents that I gave her re: insurance info.
So now, here I sit with pain akin to having a knife jammed into my spine because she failed at the most basic of data entry.
I’ll just numb the pain with shitload of that good wine the supermarket carries.

Lately I’ve come in just to pick up a couple of things and noticed that some of the old familiar faces I used to see are no longer around. There are quite a few newbies, and all the clerks wear yellow shirts now. I guess it looks neater.
I can’t say I feel the same about this store as I once did. The check out lines are usually long! This is only due to the lack of cashiers that are open and not because they have crowds and crowds of customers. The self check out is no better and ALWAYS jams for no reason. When there are nothing in the bags, the machine continues to announce «RETURN ITEM TO BAGGING AREA ETC…» as if I am a thief, that I got caught stealing goods?! And the damn machine could not be any louder! Then it takes forever for some one to show up to shut the darn thing off to start over.
When I was there last night to pick up some bread and juice, I noticed that they had Pepperidge Farm Goldfish on sale. Yippy, only a buck a bag and they have lots of flavors, including the chocolate Grahams that I love, yum! I decided to pick up a couple of bags, then I look at the expiration date… a bunch of them were expired (or sell date) in June 2010! Aren’t we already in August? I’m sure the snacks are still edible, but shouldn’t they have taken these ones off the shelves?! A newbie clerk saw me standing there looking at every single bag as I was trying to find ones that had later «sell by» dates and asked me if I needed help. I told him, you have expired snacks here. I’m sure he was sorry he asked me if I needed help. Had no idea what to do, asked another clerk who walked toward us, ignored me and said to the newbie, this is not our department! Wow! I guess they couldn’t care less. Albertsons must not be treating them very well. Bad attitude! They never got the manager or any one else to go through the bags for removal. Instead, the newbie put a shopping cart next to me and told me just to dump the expired ones into it. I’m like… umm…me? WTF! Do I work here now? This was ridiculous. Anyhow, the heck with him… I grabbed my snacks and left the aisle to pay at the self check out lane… hoping it won’t accuse me of stealing this time! Baked Goldfishies… a buck a bag, still a good deal. =)
I don’t love this store any more. =(

I will never again go into this place again! There are NO humans working here! Oh and the damn self check out doesn’t work how this place even stays open is a miracle. Too bad years ago before the strike they actually had cashiers that were around when you wanted to check out! To the stupid self check out that just keeps saying to «return item to bagging area» the only thing that was removed was CUSTOMER SERVICE! I will drive down the street to Vons or Staters!

Mei Lin M. had to come to West Covina to pick up something from a friend and so we were around the area. I had just remembered I needed some honey for this sore throat remedy I was making so we stopped by here!
Have never been here so it was a first. Don’t think we’ll return either since we’re not from here/don’t visit often. But when we walked in, we were pretty amazed by how organized and clean the store was.
To the left they have donuts, bread, and all their sweets such as fresh cookies, cake, cupcakes, and more! To the right there was the cash registers, Coinster machine, Lotto ticket machines, and etc.
All the aisles were very nicely organized and like I said, CLEAN. Very amazing. I know many Albertson’s and supermarkets are usually organized but this Albertson’s particularly gave me a really good feeling, the feeling where I would enjoy doing grocery shopping in. The lighting and everything about the store just felt RIGHT.
If you live in West Covina or around this area I highly recommend stopping by and checking this place out :)

I come here at least once a week to purchase goods or things that I need. Everything is organized and very clean. The thing I like about this Albersons is they close at 12:00am midnight, so you can get some quick shopping at night. The workers are awesome, they help find items and even help with your groceries.

Hello? Is anyone here? how do you… Why is it so? Can I get some help here?
So, this albertson’s is cutting back on labor costs by implementing self– checkouts.
BOOOOOOOOOOOO BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOO (shaking my fist to the sky)!
i get real excited about saving a buck– but just make sure that it is a proper functioning device. It can take up to 10 minutes to get your stuff and go. They always freeze or you need an employee to okay your transaction.=(
For instance, i noticed one albertsons rep looking severly stressed because he was ready to mop isle 4(broken spagetti jar), while monitering the self check-​out line, and answering phones and serving in the deli area. Poor guy.
This became a stressful event for everyone standing in line.
Albertsons located in Walnut, I implore you! Please hire a few more employees, my IBS kicks up when i think of you.

I’m surprised no one has reviewed this Albertson’s. I’ve been going here since it was Lucky. My family lives right around the corner. I’ve ran into people here (when I’m looking my worst, of course), met people here (hehe), and gotten to know the cashiers and baggers.
It’s actually located in a great spot. There’s a Kragen, and a TrueValue next door, and on the other side, you’ve got an eyeglass place, nail salon, and Daily Donuts. In the same center, there’s a Taco Bell (the OG kind, not combined with KFC or somethin like that), and a 76 gas station. Wanna go see an OB/​GYN? There’s one there too! Although I haven’t been, I’ve only seen it. hehe.
Seriously though, this Albertson’s is generally kept clean, and everyone is pretty nice and friendly. Very neighborhood-​ee.

Everybody has a neighborhood supermarket and this one just happens to be mine. Close to home, convenient location and hours, great prices, clean store, fully stocked merchandise, and helpful employees! I do a lot of my quick shopping here every week, usually to pick up some milk, eggs, fruits, and other grocery staple foods… and they have some great weekly specials too. And like Ags mentioned in her review, you will run into people you know here if you live in the neighborhood. Also great for late night beer runs since they’re open until midnight.
They also have a Bank of America, a Coinstar machine, and a DVD rental machine inside…
