Raley's - Fair Oaks

Your basic Raleys. I go here for the large follow your heart mayo. Most grocery stores only carry the small containers. They also have a pretty moderate vegan selection. The produceis usually high quality. Easy store layout. A lot of parking. Employees are friendly.

Had to ask somebody for help at self checkout register. Was a pretty routine interaction with somebody in a store. In response I was surprised to immediately get a dirty look and condescending reply. So much for Raley's great service.

I stood patiently in line for 3 hours for the bottle signing while everyone else was cutting. Patiently sat and waited. Finally I got fed up and walked to the front with a group that was cutting. Everyone but me made it through. One Raley's manager decided at that moment to start enforcing the line. I told him I had been there for 3 hours watching everyone else cut and I would go back to my original spot. He said no and I got kicked out. What a mess and waste of time.

Whole house has or has had covid the past 2 weeks. We're doing well and hunkering down. : BUT we've eaten every fresh and frozen vegetable in the house. Needed to grocery shop, but hello we're sick. Suddenly, remembered Raley's can deliver groceries. I got onto the website signed into my account where I normally get coupons. Happily surprised and a little alarmed as they had all the groceries I normally buy listed. Sure made it super easy to just click on all the stuff I normally buy. Did a search for a few items I don't. Clicked a pick up time as my Adult Daughter said she'd run some errands for me. Guy filling my order at Raley's called to double check a couple substitutions. He had great instincts and did a good job picking them. I approved. Then he said my order would be ready a couple hours early, which worked great for my daughter helping us out. She said pick up was so easy. They delivered quickly and cheerfully right to her car. Great service. So easy. I'm thinking I may do this on the regular. Why go into the store?

Bright and clean, smiling faces always greet you. My husband gets me dinner when I am sick and he is always helped and is able to find what I want. The food is good and packaged well.
