Wednesday, November 12th approx 10:30-11:00 am. Over 10 people in line… asked for another cashier. Crickets… ZERO response! Especially when I pointedly walked over from the line and asked the 2 deli women ( short gal w/glasses & taller woman of color),to please call someone due to the long lune of customers. They both just looked at me. WOW! Not feeling like a valued customer at this location. My advice if you want to get in quickly & checkout. Go to another store to shop!

I went to the deli yesterday and Eric made sure my chicken nugget was fresh. The deli area was also clean and he covered his hair with the hairnet and wear gloves the whole time. I will definitely be back because of him . Wonderful customer service!!

This place is really bad. Incredibly long check out lines day or night and usually only 1 or 2 cashiers working. The cashiers they do have are usually stressed out and grumpy. This place would really benefit from self checkout.

Inadequate customer service. Typically, understaffed. One, or two check stands open, while lines of customers down the aisles waiting. Cashiers are not the friendliness and lack people skills.

This is the worst vons in all of San Diego. Every time (no matter the day, time, weekend, holiday) I go in there’s only one cashier for the 6+ registers they have.
Today, the manager exclaimed “I’ll help out those people with one item or less on another register” (how are you going to ring out someone with zero items??)
I grabbed a single item and got into his line. Rather than just tell me “No, my offer is rescinded” he just moved the “Lane Closed” sign in front of me. Not even a “sorry” or “hello” or anything else.
I asked “Is one item or less no longer valid?” To which he just rolled his eyes at me and started stuttering something under his breath.
I said “It’s a yes or no question, I didn’t realize this was going to be such a big deal”
He didn’t reply just scanned my item.
Horrifically rude customer “service”. Way to make the people that keep your business alive as inconveniences. What a joke.
And seeing the countless other reviews with the same experience, I’m sure I will receive some generic copy/paste response from
Vons (Owner), rather than any actual accountability.
