Decent prices, friendly cashiers. Out of some things but that’s usual for the time being. Small store but carry’s most things.

Decent selection. Nice meat department. Make sure to check best by date on shelved items, have gotten items there past date that we're not good at all.

Only three stars due to the employees/lack ofcustomer service. If you are there during the day on a weekday it's pretty spot-on however if you're there on the weekend or in the evenings employees are not helpful and at times can be rude two customers demonoid to stop chit-chatting to halfway perform their job duties

The only issue I have with this store is it seems the meat is always browning when I go in. I have seen lunch meat turning green and steaks turning brown. I'm not saying this is all the time because some times they have a great selection. But it happens a lot. I never see this happening at the other store in town. However, I really like the selection of all the dried goods and fresh vegetables. They have a great amount of things to choose from and I feel like I always have better luck finding my fresh veggies there. And they are always in good shape!

For what they lack specifically in enthusiasm they make up for with lower prices and good quality products produce section meat are or all high-quality hard work. Cashiers could use a little enthusiasm other than that wonderful they just don't talk to you the young ones beautiful products

The one and only reason I chose to give 4 stars instead of 5 are the prices. Although comparable with the other grocery store in town neither one is where youd expect to save a lot....but Cals Thriftway makes up for their lack of wholesale prices with their small town friendliness, a clean good smelling store, and the ambient music...it seems to always be playing a song that i like, that i havent heard in ages and so sets me in a nostalgic mood... ....the produce is great, the meat dept. is great...and the cashier still asks if youd like paper or plastic. So I give Cals Thriftway 4 stars for atmosphere.

I shop here all the time because I know exactly where everything is order that I'll find! That's how regular they stay. Everyone fairly friendly, folks are very helpful and nice check out girls seem to be slipping because a lot of the older ladies that have worked there for many many years are no longer working there and the girls that are there have not been trained well as a human resources and recruitment & training Specialist, I feel the front end needs some serious work on need something positive attitude while at work keeping a big smile on your face while you're helping your guest or your customer and making sure that you keep your attention on them at all times not be talking over your shoulder to your friend about a party or giggling together when they come to the register about something unrelated to work they need to be well they need to have a proper trainer give them the rules and regulations so that they know what they can do what they can't do and how they need to be more outgoing and pleasant in available to the public there holding back and making customers feel like they can't ask them a question or tell them you know I need to take something off without them rolling their eyes and saying I have to get a key from so and so and just dragging things along so slowly I work in cashier positions for 25 years and leave me we were made to go fast so I don't understand who's hiring these girls but overall the meat smoker is awesome! Their ribs and the most chickens and singular steaks and even shredded pork are just to die for! Overall I rate it highly because for the most part for people

I was assisted personally by an extremely helpful lady Manager. She was patient and pleasant. When the item rang up $2 higher (it was actually a Really Cool T-shirt that said, "STRAIGHT OUTTA CALIFORNIA,MO.") because it was an X-Lg, since all of the ones she had shown me were LG. She insisted the cashier honor the price she had read off to me! So unexpected and just like the GOOD OLD FASHIONED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SATISFACTION SOME of us over 45 still remember! I also LOVE their freshly slow-smoked racks of ribs, while chickens, pork chops & steaks, even freshly BBQ'd pulled Pork in tubs just right for 2 people to had sandwiches from! They also have an $1 Isle that has some extremely good products on it. There is a Pharmacy inside the store which allows has a human being ( Super Pleasant Sarah) Answering the phone! An exceedingly pleasant experience in itself! The entire staff there are professional, respectful of each person's privacy, and have excellent customer service skills. The Fresh Produce, Meat, and Dairy Departments are always well stocked, reasonably priced and clean with easy to see Prices.

I like this store a lot. There was a little shade where I parked, the produce was wonderful that I bought, the music was very nice. Clean wide aisles, everything easy to find. Then at the checkout the employees were courteous and helpful and smiling. I like all that. Thank you

Prices are reasonable..they offer Best Choice products that are a good substitute for Name Brannds. They have fresh smoked Ribs, chicken and pulleys pork, etc Absolutely an enjoyable experience for the BBQ Lovers. They have a nice produce section with some hard to find items. They do NOT sell cigarette or alcohol. They have a $1 isle with some items that are great, some.. worth $1.. but daytime Customer service is Wonderful with mature staff and friendly, knowledgeable people. Their MEAT dept. is also VERY good and the butcher is friendly and they will slice meat free, plus they special order for you as well as Sell in BULK!
