This Stater Brothers was an eyesore when it opened close to 10 years ago. But in recent years it’s one few well rounded grocery store in an area depleted area unless you shop Latino markets or big box budget stores which lose the small neighborhood feel. That said, it’s always crowded, chaotic and since the pandemic, stock of main staple foods are always empty. I know the excuse, but I always find those items having to shop at several other markets & never one stop shopping anymore. Even Walmart has more on good days than any Stater Brothers (stand corrected, been to San Diego locations & there are less or hardly any empty shelves). Lastly, (some not all) cashiers are rude & try to push you out instead of being logically patient as in yesterday when a couple of customers ahead of me took my change & flew out - they had a ton of groceries & sadly GR recipients who wanted more like my change. Had the cashier waited till the bagger was done with their groceries, she could have rang me up & I would have got my change. I have nothing against people getting government assistance, I have a problem with those manipulating to gain more from those who do pay for it - for those who really need it & those unsavory people ruin it for those humble beings. It was only change, but even those greedy women could have been honest & left it alone, I’d rather give it to a kid trying to sell (working for it) or a homeless person than these racketeers. Shame. ~Jay

Great place to buy water, snacks and even some household items. He practically has a 99 cent store in there. The owner Roberto has great customer service. Always happy and greets you with a smile and conversation. Stop going to that machine and try this place out. ~Juan

Really hit or miss with the customer service in this store. Some days everyone is nice, helpful and seems to know what they're doing. And many days are like today, all the shopping carts are sticky and nasty from being touched by the same dirty rag they've been using for a week. I didn't ask for a brand new cart, I asked for a sanitizing wipe... They were unable to provide any.the kid at the grocery side entrance did provide a good dose of sarcasm and attitude with “all my carts are clean bro“ clearly his standards of clean are different than my own ~Chris

In efficient work flow and needs help from 6 sigma. It's 2022 and they are still using stickers and paper sign in sheets. ~Peter

People work there are very nice and kind. Thank you very much! ~FAN

Love shopping .. best Halal place to shop at ~Fatima

love this place ever since i moved down the street from here its been my main smoke shop, theyre open till 10 which is later than most and its basically a smoke shop and convenience store in one. they take ebt, have a pretty decent selection, the prices on the vapes aren't exorbitantly high like other places can be ($20 for flum, $11 for bang xl which is a dollar above the cheapest they go for) the guys that work here are pretty cool especially the morning guy. sometimes they'll be on the phone the entire time you're checking out even when you have to ask them for things but its not that big of a deal I'd probably do the same thing. all around great shop if you live in the area or happen to be passing through ~sleepful

I really like this store and come here all the time. The shelves are always well stocked and the clerks here are very nice. Not too mention the really cool treasures you find here! Feel blessed to have found such a cool book. ~Natalie

Just wanted to say s/o to the sleepyheaded clerk guy with the AirPods always in, str8 up gave me a tenner when my change was $1 something and lemme walk out with so many soda bottles in my bag when I had one of them out for him to scan you get me ? I told him charge me for 7 total but nope so god bless man :D ~Vicente
