“Friendly grocery store”

Erica W.
6/19/20

I love the employee's friendliness when you walk into this store. It may be someone who's unloading produce and offers you a taste of the apples and can help you find the best produce to the checker who will ask you about your day. They have good prices and things go on sale each week.

“Deceptive and insufficient”

I've had my Vons account for some years and decided to try delivery. 1st picking my store didn't matter as it came from Alberson miles away. The driver couldn't speak clear and just hung up on me. Items damaged and no one contacted me when I complained. Never again. Of I wanted Uber delivery I'd call them and not Vons

I was a regular shopper of their site before but then their payment system which is instacart come into play and makes it difficult to take payments. My cards was always getting declined. I tried to call them but it is hard to reach them. Hope they got this issues fix asap. Really disappointed!

I don't know what they did to this website a few months ago, but more than half the time it is "under service" and impossible to sign into. Used to be easy to use but it is now a waste of time and energy.

From all the delivery I've tried, Vons has been the very best. All the ingredients came as I asked, only one was substituted. The driver rang the bell, (the only one, even though I asked to the other supermarkets as well)
Excellent work.
Vons doesn't ask for a tip, while other markets charge the tip from your total bill then send an email to ask for a secondary tip and yet another one to see if you want to send a third tip... very annoying.

Vons makes excuses month after a month for employees ineptitude. They hired less than stellar employees and we get stuck picking up the tab with our money and our time. Complaints get no solution as they just continue in their same vein. Case in point gas Mart store with food and medicines and they close for more than an hour and a half supposedly for an employee's lunch. I'm not aware that the lunch timing has changed with unions. They need to have relief workers to give their employees the breaks the're entitled to and only the breaks they're entitled to.

Tip for consumers:
At 6:23 I was there and the sign said back at 8:00 and they do this repeatedly and continually no matter how often you complain to management. Nothing changes they're going to do whatever they want to do and we're foolish enough to keep paying the tab or trying to rely on a company that is unreliable.

Products used:
Stofffers dinners as my diabetic meals and then they close for an hour and a half so that you can't cook them. I skipped dinner and there's no excuse for that. A specifically made a bus trip up there for my dinner and they were closed for an hour and a half which is not a union lunch time ever so I left with nothing but a wasted one hour trip hungry and the day after effects of no meal.

It was Monday night around 6:30 p.m. I went to the deli to get something to eat I decided on some chicken strips they looked very good I ended up waiting at least 20 minutes! 20! When I got there somebody was being waited on and there was a couple in front of me that wanted several things sliced so I stood I waited mind you I have a bad back and bad knee I stood I waited I stood I waited it was awful but I wanted those chicken strips LOL finally, my turn, the young gentleman came over and apologized and said his coworker was on break... but Isnt it kindof a bad time to take a break I would think at 6:30 kind of late dinner people about then. Like me! Seems like every time I go to a deli anymore there's so short staffed and the poor workers that have to deal with it all. I used to work in a deli and we were on it! Nobody stood for more than 15 seconds.Then my chicken strips were so hard I couldn't chew them.UGH!SMH

I use to get groceries delivered from Vons.com and back then would of rated a 5star, until INSTACART took over their payment system and declines my card that every other site takes even Vons before they took over. Now i cannot get deliveries from local stores with reasonable/low prices, only option is speciality stores with prices 3x the cost which screws up my budget and without owning a car makes getting my needs met nearly impossible!

Let me first tell you the manager of the Vons grocery store in Lake Isabella went above and beyond his duties as a manager. It was our Moms birthday and the two florists Colleen and Laurie made the most beautiful arrangement for our Mom. We tried to have the arrangement delivered to our mom in Lake Isabella because we do not live there and we could not find delivery service not even an Uber or Lyft to deliver. We tried everything. When we called Vons to inform them of our dilemma the Manager, to our surprise, offered, on his day off, to personally deliver them to our Mom! I could not believe it! This was the absolute kindest gesture I have ever bern offered from any employee or Manager at any of the Vons or the Pavilions family of stores or from any business for that matter.
We would personally like to send a huge thank you to the sweetest Manager and to the most talented floral department at Vons in Lake Isabella for a gorgeous floral arrangement and for personally delivering the arrangement to our Mom. Not only did you make her day special your kindness and thoughtfulness will remain in our hearts for many years and more. Here's to the best team of employees at Vons in Lake Isabella!

Tip for consumers:
Please do not get this wrong. Vons grocery store does not deliver. The manager was so kind and went out of his way as a favor to us and because of our personal dilemma to personally deliver them to our mom for her Birthday. Vons does not normally deliver. He was just a sweet , kind man and helped us out.

I went to the Vons on Mission Gorge Rd in San Diego today. The clerk was so rude I had to tell her to bring her attitude down. She was literally fussing at me from the moment she saw me. "You have to come through this line because it's the only one so come on over here blah blah blah". She was telling me to ignore the sign of only 15 items and when that happens I just need to do this that and the other. It wasn't so much the words as her attitude - as if she was chastising me for taking the time to read the sign. I've never been to the store before but that shouldn't matter. She did it again with the whole phone number thing - not informing me but rather scolding me about how I have to put the phone number in first, etc. Her voice was that of one scolding a misbehaving student or something. I asked her to bring her attitude down! She changed to something a little more pleasant for just a moment. Although she had never greeted me, not even hello, she made sure to say to the white lady in line behind me "good morning, how are you doing?". I told her I was fine and asked how she was doing. (Yes, I know she wasn't talking to me. I was making a point.) Then, she never bothered to tell me my total. I had to look for it. By then I was done with her! I'm a black woman with gray hair. I feel like as soon as she saw me, she summed me up according to her ignorant and limited profile in her head. I blame the management and her, because in this day and age we all already know better! Anyway, I just want to go to the grocery store and get treated like a customer. I guess that's too much to ask at this Vons. I don't live in California. Vons has left a bad taste in my mouth from my visit. Ignorant employees who treat customers according to the employee's own personal bias - it's just not okay!
