  I've been a customer of this Albertsons for many years, and now I depend on it, and have sadly watched it slide downhill to the point that it is now an impending failure ....a dismal failure. I'm a retired disabled senior citizen, with decades of business and organization experience at the highest levels. Here's my honest and sincere assessment and diagnosis of this failing store: The new store director is a failure and is a rude, negative and hostile liability. I am friendly with several of the staff members. It is my experience, and they have told me that many of the staff have left, transferred or quit .. or refused to come to work. I am told that other Albertson's employees in the area refuse to transfer to this store. Last week my online home delivery order was an hour and a half late and when I talked to someone in the store she was nearly crying saying that they are working with a skeleton staff and she is looking for another store to work at. The store director and some supervisors are negative and rude and incompetent, and almost everyone else is stressed out, demoralized and on the verge of giving up.... Not caring as the store slides over the cliff to Oblivion. This would be a tragedy for East Village and downtown. Thousands of senior citizens and young millennials depend on this store. Yet It is filled with people illegally bringing in their dogs which bark, pee and crap on the floor, and there is almost no control over the homeless bums in front of or in the store. There is rampant theft.. And the store management does nothing to stop these atrocities. I watched three homeless people go out of the store the wrong way through the barrier doors without paying.... in front of a woman security guard. Too many good people on the staff of this store do not care anymore. They are either angry or totally demoralized and hopeless. I owned three successful multi-million dollar companies, served as a chief of staff at the California Senate and worked for three Presidents .. and I can tell you with my voice of experience.....This store is a complete failure and is now are a closure waiting to happen!!.... and that would be a disaster for downtown San Diego.....UNLESS THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION. This can be fixed but it will take an emergency intervention by corporate. It will take an experienced turnaround leader to rebuild this store from the ground up. Hurry up before you lose the last of your employees. Too many do not want to come work at your store. Corporate: send in undercover mystery shoppers to diagnose the disease and malfunctions that have infected your store. Then send some experienced turnaround leaders to rebuild it. Do whatever it takes to retain the few loyal employees you have there, and get new good ones committed to rebuilding the store and serving your community. Even go so far as to offer bonuses to transfer in. I asked to be contacted by senior management at the regional office or corporate. UPDATE: The next day after first posting this and emailing it to corporate Albertsons I received phone calls from two very senior managers at the regional office. They concurred with my evaluations and observations, and assured me that they are keenly aware of the problems and that help is on the way to this store. They conveyed their commitment to turning this store around and I am (skeptically) impressed by their honesty, quick response and commitment to the store and to our community. However, We'll wait and see...

  I absolutely love this location. I've ordered groceries online and shopped at the location for pretty much all of the groceries. The staff is always helpful and polite

  The security personnel tonight has violated my rights and discriminated against me because I'm homeless. She would not let me go in and purchase my dinner tonight. She has falsely accused me of theft and damaged my reputation as one of the few homeless people that doesn't steal. I've never had a problem going in to make my purchases until tonight. A lawsuit against that security company will be filed and one will also be filed against Albertsons as well. Have a nice day
