My family and I have been customers at RB Vons as well as the Albertsons in RB as well for many many years. The quality of the strawberries are inedible. Whoever supplies your fresh strawberries should be replaced. How you don’t have whoever checks your fruit discard bad boxes of berries is despicable. Unfortunately, I just haven’t brought them back to your store and just discarded them after trying to use them.

Generally good but sometimes they hide the fresh baked goods behind the old stuff. They changed the m&m cookie recipe and it’s no longer worth eating.

WORST STORE EVER VISITED. THE LINES ARE ALWAYS TOO LONG AND THE STORE MANAGER JOHN IS INCOMPETENT! HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO RUN A STORE. HE IS RUDE AND DOESNT CARE WHAT CUSTOMERS THINK. THE STORE IS DIRTY AND RESTROOMS ARE DISGUSTING. THE MANAGER SHOULD BE FIRED. NOT TRANSFERED. BUT FIRED. THIS IS A HORRIBLE STORE THAT DOESNT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS WAITING IN THE LONG LINES. MAKE THE STORE BETTER, #FIREINCOMPETENTJOHN.

I usually enjoy shopping here even though it's higher price than others like sprouts.
However, today changed that. I was going to buy a bottle of cider. Label said "non-alcoholic cider 0.0% ABV" and I went through the self-checkout accordingly, knowing that alcohol isn't allowed in self checkout. I waited in line, and the other lines were long.
The item triggered the 21 plus verification system. The checker who came to clear the issue said "There are signs up, you can't check this out here!" And I explained that it says on the label of cider "non alcoholic" and she said it still have traces of alcohol and I should have known not to use self-check out. She treated me like I was an idiot, and argued with me when I asked them to post a sign saying that they consider the 0.0% ABV non-alcoholic cider to be alcoholic.
I spend 500$ a week at this location. I will be going to the 4S sprouts instead now.
