Save Mart

Really nice, but older store. Great service, and selection. Freshest produce around. Awesome bakery, and deli.
A little pricy, but not real bad. Friendly checkers, and most employees make eye contact and offer assistance.

When here for sale add items and now come back because the products are quality and the prices are low. The management and staff are always friendly and helpful. It seems like every time I go there you will see a manager out on the floor talking with staff and customers.

I always find whatever I need when here. They aisles are wide with lots of variety of products. Their products are priced pretty reasonably and I never paid for anything that I couldn’t find cheaper anywhere else. They have a very small Asian and Latin section but have the necessities. This place also has a Redbox that always seems to have a line whenever I walk into this store.

I come in here all the time for grocery shopping. Like it.

First of all this place is in the ass crack of Turlock… not a good neighborhood. The store is older and a little run down… not to mention a bit dirty. I stopped here on 3÷31÷10 only because it was convenient at the time and it was my Dad’s birthday so I wanted to pick up a small cake for after dinner.
I headed in and darted straight for the bakery. I found 2 adorable cakes. One was shaped like a bee hive and decorated with little bees and dripped in honey and the other was a turtle… so cute! I wanted to get my Dad a cake that was less than manly and something suitable for a 3^rd grader… thats just how I do. Anyway, I asked the girl who worked in the bakery named Amanda C. to box up the turtle cake. She placed it in a bakery box and proceed to close the lid and tape it down onto its shell… meaning she smashed the cake. Then she rang me up and my total was a little less than $ 40. How did that happen? The turtle cake was only $ 12 and the candle I got was $ 3! I asked her to check the price again and she simply said «oh, oops». I then asked her to fix the cake because she smashed the lid onto the shell and screwed up the icing. She took the cake into the back and airbrushed it green again… when she returned I inspected the cake and there was green paint all over the foil board the cake was on… it looked horrible. How do you feel good about selling me this cake?
I asked for a refund and she asked «So, you dont want the cake anymore?» she seemed annoyed and I asked for a manager. When the young guy came over I began to explain to him why I no longer wanted the disaster cake by saying «Well first she tried to charge me more than double and then she smashed the cake and when she…». Then Amanda completely cuts me off and says «It was an accident!!». I stopped and and looked at her and the manager and stated «Well I guess I have nothing left to say here». Then the manager continues talking to her and they both ignore me! Seriously? She then handed me my money, he walked away and she turned around and headed back into the bakery… no apology, no «have a nice day», nothing!
How rude!!! In case you forgot… you work in customer service and I am a CUSTOMER! If I am unhappy with something then the least you should do is listen to me, especially when I am not yelling or making a scene… I was more than calm and I only wanted a refund and to address the issue so that way Amanda would learn something and be more careful when she packs a cake for the next customer.
Long story short, I am beyond annoyed and disturbed with this store. I wont be back and I would like to recommend Old Tyme Pastries to anyone thinking of visiting Save Mart for their bakery… sure youre going to pay more but the quality of the cake, the taste and the customer service are worth the extra few bucks!

The nicest staff, always helpful and happy to see you. They help you out, and bag your groceries for you. Prices are always good, and there is always good sales every week. Save Mart is a local store that you can find up and down the valley — this store is really nice keep and clean. I am able to get sales emailed to me along with free recipes and grocery lists etc. They often have a featured recipe being cooked near the deli with free samples.
