99 Cents Only Store

I haven’t had much of a good experience here. A few weeks ago I was shopping with my 1 year d daughter, as I was checking out I realized she only had one shoe on, so I finished paying for my stuff and went around the store to see if I can find her shoe that fell off, I asked one of the workers an afghan man if he can ask any of the other employees of they had seen a shoe and without looking he said no one had found a shoe, so I left as I’m putting my bags into the trunk two men come out, I’m thinking they found my daughter shoe, but actually they ask me for my recent, I asked why I said I didn’t steal anything, it was so embarrassing to be accused of shop lifting from the 99 cent store at that, I vowed to never go back to that one because of my bad experience. But yesterday 04/​14/​2016 I went back to buy some times to make tacos and salsa and I saw TWO reached in the produce apartment on the food that US people eat! So disgusting! I will never go back there I suggest everyone go to the one on hammer lane this one is just awful

I go here once a week to stock up on prizes for my class. They also have a few things I enjoy: dragon almond cookies, nips butter rum hard candies etc.
It seems every time I stop here I have a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ chance of getting a new ding or scratch on my car. Also, it’s quite scary getting harassed by people asking for money. I know it’s everywhere in Stockton, but it seems to be more aggressive here.
Finally, I know it’s a 99 cent store in Stockton, but the customers are truly scary. Today I happened to make eye contact for literally a half second with a young woman as I turned around and she said, «B-​word, what are you looking at?» Then she scooted to her group of friends (yes, she was on a scooter) and tried to pump up her friends by saying, «that B over there was mean mugging». She was trying to start a fight in the 99 cent store because she was in my line of view for less than a half second as I turned around. Never in my entire life have I experienced something like this.
Go here if you’re brave, I’ll never set foot in here again.

I have been in the .99 store on March Lane about twice. The store is set up just like the .99 store in San Leandro, CA. I notice how they have inched the prices up. Oh and that canned food cost more than in the Grocery Store. I can go to the Grocery store and get a canned food
item for .67 while .99 store sales it for .99.Alot of Customers must have caught on to the prices and left the parking lot vacant. I come out swell if I just limit all items to .99.One day my Brother went to get some eggs. Boy you should have seen him racing to the .99 store because he thought he was going to get a bargain. He got a bargain alright. The Eggs costed
$ 2.00.The .99 Store should just say .99+ and stop being wise guys.

I only buy certain things here whenever i have my nearby dentist appointment, so i make my list. On occasion, I’ll find a great deal that beats regular grocery stores, like cheaper prices per pound for grapes or a bag of apples. Never had issues with staff, everyone’s seems friendly enough. Why not 5 stars? Because they round up the price to charge $ 1.00, not $ 0.99. Guess they can’t change their name. Whatever. Will still get my same items here when i can.

trash everywhere. a small minority of ghetto people make all of stockton look bad.

I’ve been coming here for quite sometime and have always experienced great customer service until today, the older indian lady that rang me out did not bag any of my items with the reusable bag that I brought. I don’t know if any of you have had this issue with this lady but this is the first. She had plenty of time because while I was digging up my change she just stood there. I didn’t have that many items but when she gave me my receipt still didn’t bag my items. I had to bag them myself and it held up the person behind me. One of my items was leaking fluid on her register so at least I left her a mess that inconsiderate crustacean. I will still be coming here for things but be aware of this older Indian lady. I will not be in her check out line again unless it’s the last resort and she better bag my things.

W O W !!! Were do I begin.
(1) This store has the best white –glass alter candles, though most would prefer to have 7day candles of this type, to fix that I just date the candles on the bottom — on the average they are 3−4day candles, so I may have to light two to get the seven days.
(2) They carry fresh produce and is really good for the most part and for the price, you cannot beat it. The produce always changes.
(3) it’s just a fun store

99 cent stores are really coming up! I love it! Although some things are more then 99cents. They need to maintain everything at 99cents!

I come here a lot. The main reason, I really don’t have the need to go to a grocery store if it’s just me for five days a week.
99 cent store pretty much has everything you need, especially if you are single. Birthday cards to garbage bags they have it all. I mainly come for the munchies and crunchies, frozen fruit and the” Atomic green Bananas”. (If you been been here, you know what I’m talking about).
But napkins and soap and stuff, I’ll get here to. The milk is the only thing in the store that’s not 99 cents. But my three children love shopping with me, so we come and get whatever.
This place is always packed and the outside of the store is off the hook. Fools selling all types of stuff from Dvd’s, Cd’s and other things. All they need is that tamales guy from Wal-​Mart on Hammer Ln. Then it would be a straight swap meet outside.
My only complaint would be the lack of cashiers. Sometimes you got hella people and only a few cashiers. They really need to have all hands on deck from open to close. But I do enjoy my time when I come here. It’s always fun :)

The store is fine but the area is horrible. My car was broken into. Shady area and people always hanging out in the area. I will never go here again.

I’d give this place a negative star if I can. Long wait in line, customers and employees are rude, no security, people loitering, pan handlers asking for change, almost got into a fight coming here.

I do go here often for gift bags, aspirin, bath tissue (Angel Soft!) drinks, and even sometimes produce. The thing about the produce is you have to get it pretty much right when it’s first put out, otherwise it doesn’t stay fresh (the store is usually pretty warm inside) and there are some nasty people out there who touch it all, drop it, and put it back. You also have to be careful and make sure you check the expiration dates.
My two main complaints about this place are 1: at any given time there are only (usually) 2 registers open, no matter how busy it is. It is kinda annoying waiting for awhile ’cause most people have carts full of items. And 2: the thing that turns me off about this place the most are the people literally posted up in front of the entrance doors asking you for money for their «shelters» and the people trying to sell their pirated CDs and DVDs.
I’ll still shop here though, I’m a cheap-​O when it comes to paying «full price» for some everyday items.

Employees can be hit or miss. The parking lot is littered with shady folks. The bright spot is the big freezer in the back. They get shipments of soon to expire cheeses, milk, and other perishables. Stop in often. Just the other day they had organic milk for $.99. It’s about $ 5-​$ 6 in stores. I’ve found kraft cheeses for $.99 many times. There are some major deals to be found. It takes a little bit of timing and a lot of luck.

I stopped by to pick up a pair of scissors and misc paper supplies because of course, the place is cheap. When i walked up to the store someone had plugged in a cd player outside that was blasting some explicit and offensive music. inside the store was dirty and all the displays were disheveled and messy. the only saving grace was that the cashier was really nice to me.
Now i understand that it’s a place to pick up cheap items but does that really mean that you should allow your store to get into such a shape and allow your employees to blast music outside that makes customers want to walk away? I won’t be going back.

The 99cent store does actually have its place. It has cheap canned pedigree dogfood, it is a great place for gift bags, birthday decorations, V8 juice, and also sometimes it has good produce. You just really have to check expiration dates. It also has a good section for medical supplies. So when your low on funds don’t count out the 99cent store you never know what treasures it has in store for you.

I like this joint. I pulled up about 830 and it wasnt the zoo it usually is in the day time. I got gift bags for 79 cents each! I saw some less cool looking ones in CVS for about 3 bucks. I love this place lol. I didnt have to wait in line long and I even picked up a snak.
This place sells alot of food and not so much of that junk that u find in the dollar tree.

This location is «My» 99 Cents Only Store. It’s the one I go to Sunday’s after church to pick up stuff I really need. Best buy on dish soap, hand soap in recyclable pumps, and bar soap I can only get here. All the other cool junk is just a bonus… oh and next door to my favorite bagel place ever… Bagel Deli Express. What’s not to like?
Well, now that I think of it, hundreds of thousands of items made in China some of which contain lead, were made by child slaves… wow, I’m feeling a bit guilty now…

Some more yays and nays:
Nay: Under-​ripe bananas. Short of a nuclear holocaust, those suckers will not change one darn bit from green. Ever. I’m sure those babies are still green even in the landfill.
Another nay: their bathroom. One whiff and my pee nestled back up in my bladder. For hours.
Yay: Stain Be Gone. I wish I had stock in that company, it has worked on every stain imaginable (short of something that’s taken up residence on your ten-​year old favorite jeans). When you squirt this magic liquid on your stain and rub it together between your knuckles, it actually warms up! I would host an infomercial for them. Free.
Another yay: Fresh greens. They put theirs in the fridge, just be sure to check the expiration date. I bought organic romaine hearts and spinach. My heart thanks me (and the 99 cents store).

Guilty pleasures guilty pleasures.
Ok yall. too much of a good thing can put your head in you your own man crack hole. Rye Crisps are good… they’re only 99 cents here. But not everything is cheaper as 99 cents. for example, tomatos. Places cheaper than this place. or a box of crayons. They don’t even have regular crayons; they have ‘color swirl’ crayons, designed to jack up your 2 year old’s perception of our already dimented society… so i guess he’s not far from the rest of us.
But good buys: a container of deh-​lisi-​yous olives– 99 cents of course.
Other stores: over 3 bucks. So yeah, be choosey and live with more dough in japacket!
And for all you pretending-​not-​to-​be-​in-​Stockton-​wish-​i-​lived-​outta-​here-​w/​my-​jetta people, there are people of color here (a variety), crack addicts, incest victims, kids in training to steal your car in ten years, and ya momma, just like in ya family… so don’t consider us to be too low of commodities (Jesus didn’t)…& it feels like home up in here.
Note: send one of your kids or friends to sacrifice him/​herself to stand in line while you shop because the lines are as long as my kids during detox… so if you plan on not getting too old, follow this advice.

Unilocal might consider the elements of a ZERO star rating. I will allow one just to get this urgent message out…
This 99-​Cent store isn’t even open yet, but it is so close to my house I’m thinking about relocating.
It’s all over for that shopping center, as we once knew it. Back in it’s hey-​day it sported the Bagel Express, the trendy Salon Bravo, a semi-​swank Stockton Joe’s, and a humongous Fabricland. The later two have moved further north, and now we’re going to get this monstrosity of reluctant retail. In bright purple, teal, and fuchsia — eye-​bleeding colors. I can already hear the cart-​to-​car dents crunching as I type.
What genius thought it would be a good idea to locate the 99-​Cent Store directly across the street from the Dollar Tree. These two behemoths literally stare down one another. All day long.
In the tradition of previous deep discount store reviews, I offer a new Dollar Store Haiku:
