- JMJackie M2 days ago1.0I was just in the store and was overcharged for some items. They were originally marked $5.99, and were labeled as 50% off, but the discount did not come off. (I know it's only a few dollars, but I thought since it was an obvious mistake on the part of the store, it would be handled quickly and efficiently, and I would go on with my day. I was very wrong.) When I realized, I came back into the store and went to the service desk. When standing at the service desk lane, I noticed the "Price Accuracy Guarantee" hanging directly over the register I was at. I have included an image of the sign here. When it was my turn to address the cashier, I referenced the policy, given that the top situation explained on the sign applies directly to this situation. The cashier said if I wanted to apply that policy, I would have to go to the lane for the person that originally cashed me out. So I go to wait in another line. After explaining the situation to the second cashier, a third one shows up, going by the name of "John B". I explained the situation to him, and he said he would not be applying the policy in this situation, but couldn't give me a reason as to why. I guess he just didn't feel like it. He gave me the partial refund. I explained that I was not pleased with that decision, and that I would call the number on the sign. I left the store and called the number on the sign in the image. After explaining the situation, I was told that this phone number is only for online purchases. Yikes. What a mess, Vons. So, I decided to call the store number on my receipt. Because I was just speaking with him, it was obvious to me when John B. answered the phone. I asked for the store manager. He said that he was the store manager. I asked for his name then, and he literally whispered to someone else at the store, and I quote, "what's the name we're supposed to use?". He then told me to hang on, came back after about 10 seconds, and said his name was George Murphy. Double yikes, Vons. Is it store policy to pretend to be the store manager when you feel like lying to customers over a few dollars? Was it really worth it, John? After explaining the situation to fake George, he apologized, and said have a good day. I assumed he was going to hang up, but then changed his mind. He said to come back to the store, ask for John again, and he would resolve the situation. Given all the time I have wasted on this nonsense, I will not be going back today. If I do ever return to the store, you can be sure I will be speaking with George directly, so that he knows (even though I am assuming he already is aware of this sham), that his employees don't like to follow posted policies and pretend to be him when they make a mess of things.
- ARAimar Yousif Raheema3 days ago5.0I have got my usual spicy tenders and chicken wings
- ALAbbigail LedetNov 17, 20251.0Pretty disturbing and disgusting. Purchased a coffee drink out of the check stand fridges, checked out, took a sip and it was chunky! Looked at the expiration date and it was expired OCTOBER 8TH 2025. Its currently November 17th 2025. How horrible. When I brought it back in, they just asked if I wanted another or a refund. I took the refund because I was not comfortable getting another one. How disturbing and the fact that no one even seemed concerned that something is on their shelf over a month past expiration, no concern that a customer also DRANK an expired product. Makes me question everything in the store and would not feel comfortable shopping here again.
- MCMarjorie CampNov 14, 20255.0I have lived here in Encinitas 43 years, and have just now discovered the best bakery around! Siavash not only creates the most beautiful cake, but the tastiest one could imagine! Do whatever it takes to keep him, perhaps a nice raise, as I’d love to depend on him from now on for all my baked goods! 👍🎂😍
- JFJohn FarrisOct 15, 20255.0They have a sale on pork tenderloin this week for $1.99/lb. Can't beat that for value! 😀
