* Recommend MORE
than 17th st Ralphs...

WHY you ask...Well..
It seems like the Ralphs on the 17th Street changes rules and has a problem stalking certain items. Maybe it's because of management not ordering things or prioritizing things or hnmm maybe something else. Back to the point the store here at East Bluff is nice and clean it seems to be in really good order all the time. It's a smaller and quaint feel store.
*Katie the store manager is professional and understanding and has a good way to deal with customers on a day-to-day.
A good pic for the position. Now on the *other hand it seems like Mr *Adolfo at 17th Street store / HE changes rules from time to time on closing times because it looks like *corporate has it set for 1:00 a.m. 7 days a week which by the way is extremely good for business and the people, of course mostly locals like myself live here on the cliff on Riverside Drive overlooking PCH.
Mr Adolfo seems to change the rules TO 12:35 wouldn't let any people in or should I say that employees were told that // and now I hear it's 12:00 a.m. and there's no rules posted on their **window. BUT it's still super awkward😒Because it doesn't sound like it comes from corporate 🤔 The store seems to be ran more by the people that hold the keys for the day, like if it was *their own store.
((Maybe that's the thing that happens in places like Santa Ana or LA)) That doesn't seem to happen at the East Bluff Newport area store.💯 Which is now for me and mine and ones I know are probably going to start going to. Because it's more convenient and the WAY it's supposed to BE..
Good job East Bluff keep it up.

Ralphs has effin flagged me as a potential shoplifter even though I've NEVER shoplifted. Every single effin time I go thru self '- checkout using my phone number,- at the end it makes me wait saying "Help is on the way". I confronted the guy about it and he refused to say anything. I don't buy bags and don't bring my own, so at the end of shopping I put the items back in the cart to take to my car. One time after scanning I clicked on "skip bagging" and put it right back in the cart. This flagged me even though that's what skip bagging is all about. He came over and it shows a little video of me on the screen putting the item back in the cart (after scanning). That little screen is video taping everything you do. Creepy. Anyways, ever since then I have to wait for the clerk to clear me before I can checkout. It's total paranoid BS. SO I will simply change my shopper number if they won't clear it themselves. Bunch of freakin creeps 👎. Another symptom of the end of America

Read your receipts at checkout carefully . This is the worst grocery store. They are literally cheating us. With no shame.. The price posted or if you buy more will not match up half the time at checkout and even self check out. Horrible service from top to bottom managers, cashiers, and clearly the executives at the top willfully figured out through the computer system to cheat people. I’ve seen people in front of me, little old ladies getting cheated Constantly, it’s not a one time event. Years ago i shopped here 90% of my groceries now I shop here maybe 5% And only because I literally live up the hill across the street.

Great grocery store. Very reasonable prices.

Store forces you to use the self checkout during the day because they never have more than one real checker working. I've used the self checkout many times but when it doesn't scan more than half your items it gets old real quick. If you want to spend more than any other grocery store I highly recommend this chain and this particular store.

The store manager is cheap. Forcing to use the self checkout during busy times because they won't hire enough checkers. The stupid machines doesn't recognize the weight so you have to keep calling the person over every five seconds. The place is clean but the service sucks and the store is tiny with limited selections compared to other stores.

Always great shopping experience. Employees are all super nice. I wish the checkout lane with human beings was open more. I feel like they should pay us to bag our own groceries.
