99 Cents Only Store

Meh, I’ve had better. I checked this spot out because i needed to grab a few stuff and was in the sunset park area. It’s the usual carnie bunch of scmuck’s that you run into at a dollar store. The place had a lot of items, but was super crowded so made navigating around the area was kinda difficult. Where this place downgrades is the check out line. Holy crap sandwich batman, 2 checkers who move slower than vegas road construction. Not to mention i had some shady basehead lady behind me who kept fidgeting with her items and touching my stuff which was getting on my nerves. A lot of folks were there with only 2 lines open and slow ass staff made most of us angry. They need to restaff with some folks who move a click faster than a dead sloth.

This is probably the largest 99 cents only tore I’ve been to. Definitely feels roomy and I swear they have a better selection than other locations do. Lots of parking but seemingly constant road work so getting into the lot might be a bit tricky.

This is the latest and greatest store in the area. It used to be a Fresh and Easy. The layout and atmosphere is great. Very clean and organized. I love the selection of items here, but there are things you find at other 99 Cents Only Stores that you will not find here. Probably because they are so new.
The grocery section is small (sorry I can’t reduce my font size to the word small). You will not find the selection of grocery items here, especially in the frozen food and produce area, that you find at the others. I strongly suggest only coming here for non grocery items, as you won’t find that much here otherwise.
And please note, not everything is 99 cents anymore, so pay attention to those price tags! Still at the end of the day, it will not break the bank by any stretch of the imagination. I will still continue to shop here, but not as often as I mainly come here for killer grocery deals.

The worst service ever! The store is organized I’ll give them that! But I came in to get balloons with helium only 25 of them and the staff said it would be a while, I figured 10 – 15 max. She is barely on balloon 14 and it’s been 40 min! I have been to other stores and they take me to where they blow the balloons and it takes them like 6 min to do 10 balloons. The point is the are LOW STAFFED only 3 people and they could have been honest with me that it was going to take an hour to blow 25 regular party balloons! Very dissatisfied!

This store is only a few months old and for the most part I really like it. They have note card boxes and Post It brand stickey flags that I really like and some groceries that are great. I had no problems until today. I bought some cake mix and cream cheese frosting. When I got home I realized the cake mix was expired. It could have been behind others and missed so I didnt think too much of it. I went to exhange it and ALL of the cake mixes were EXPIRED and when the manager came to do my return and I told him and the cashier they were expired he did not say a word to me, he just rolled his eyes. Its only cake mix thats expired but it makes me wonder what else is in there like that. Also, the customer behind me started pushing his basket to the cashier and was trying to get wrung up while I was being helped and the cashier did not ask that guy to step back. The situation felt pretty uncomfortable and hostile. The second thing was when I went to use the frosting on mix I bought from Walmart I opened it and it SMELLED LIKE FISH. My cream cheese icing smelt like fish. Very poor quality expired foods on their shelf and the cashier and manager were both very unapologetic and rude about the whole thing.

This 99 store just opened recently. I’ve been a couple times and am not impressed. By dollar store standards, this one is pretty shabby. The store is really dirty. The shelves are all cluttered. The check out lines are ultra long and ultra slow. There will be a few customers in the isles and a whole crowd of people waiting to check out. Might just be growing pains as the store is new but as of now this 99 cents store is nothing special, also it’s not 99 cents only. A lot of items are more than $ 0.99.
