Raley’s

This is for the deli… 35 min to make a sandwich :(. Oh boy… and everything was just about out… no havatri, no ham… its only 3pm people on a Wednesday. Soooo sad… had hella workers here but… geez…

Nice and clean and friendly staff! By the way the sandwhiches are huge! I mean breakfast lunch and dinner huge!!! I seriously can’t rave about the customer service highly enough! If you have the option to stop in, I highly recommend it!

I went in on my hour lunch break and waited in line at the deli to get a sandwich. The young lady who helped me was very nice and helpful. This review is for the other 5 employees who ignored me while I stood in line for the girl who helped me as she was helping 2 people before me. So she’s busting her butt to help the entire line the other 2 ladies stood and gossiped about their weekend. Then 2 more ladies came out from the back to join in the conversation instead of helping the 2 people behind me in line… It’s poor service as I get irritated in line and u all laugh and joke! Now I have 20 minutes to eat my sandwich and I only work 3 minutes away…

Wow! I came here just to buy ONE thing. Which I did. I bought a balloon for my daughter. I decided to use the 15 items or less lane to get out quicker. They wanted me to place my item on the tray, which I did. Then a rude ass employee comes behind me and as the cashier finished with the person in front of me, the employee buying bananas tells the cashier to «move them fuckin balloons.» Uhm excuse me. I’m a customer minding my own business and you want to be rude. Sorry your hands must hurt from holding 3 fuckin bananas. I would rather steal from this raleys then fuckin buy shit from this place! Your workers are rude especially the cashiers. Hate your job? Don’t take it out on people. Bitch

Bought spoiled unsweetened almond milk here. Not even sure if it was a bad batch but I didn’t bother to return it cause I lost the receipt. I like coming here to buy groceries even though other grocers are closer. They sell Mochi ice cream in the organic section which is a plus to fulfill my Asian taste buds. I hope this store stick around for years to come.

For the past three weeks, I have gone to the deli counter, only to witness their servers dropping utensils on the floor and putting them back in use without washing them, performing general (incl floor) cleaning tasks and then handling food without washing their hands, and walking straight from smoking inside to food service without washing hands. I complain to the manager Patrick again and again. He sounds apologetic but feckless. I tried to complain to corporate, but they claimed they had no supervisors… in the middle of a weekday. When I finally talked to a supervisor, he took the info and wrote me an email apology. The filthy food handling continued. Next step: Solano County Dept of Health, Environmental Health Office.

The store is clean. Plenty of parking. When I walked into the store the security guy started following me! I am a 34 year old white woman (not trying to be racist but so no one thinks racial profiling) and my boyfriend is Vietnamese. I have no idea why. The whole time I am shopping with my boyfriend, here is the security guard. At every isle, at every turn. Right there in my face. And we are not the only people in the store. So I say out loud that the way he is following us around, it actually makes me feel unsafe. As though we have to be followed by security in Raleys because bad things happen at this location all the time. And he is solely there for my protection. Once we go to the front to pay, no security guard around. Hmmm. What, a full shopping cart was going to fit in my pants???
So I will not be returning to this location. I will stick to the Benicia location. If security wants to follow me around the grocery store, the least he could do was push the cart for me.

Update your hours to show you close at 10pm now. I just wasted my time coming to your store.

More overpriced than they have right to be… but still, shopping here is actually a – dare I say? — pleasant experience, so I opt for it over the #murder of Safeway with one checkout lane open or some such bullshit. Invariably.
Even if you don’t care what «experience» you get from your grocery store, you still have to admit Raley’s does a good job. They clearly care about their stores and customer experience — this is a typical location in that sense.
Personally I like less #murder in my life, so this is my go-​to for the time being.

This was a FB post that I thought should also be listed on Unilocal: Wanted to give some Kudos to Vallejo Raley’s on Hwy29 for saving the day & exceeding our cake expectations. We had my Grandmother’s 90+1 Birthday Party & Family Reunion this last weekend. After planning for almost a year, we were unable to get my Gram’s favorite Fruit Basket cake from a local Napa bakery we’d used for 50+yrs (aweful experience), so we took a chance & tried Raley’s Fruit Basket. Thank God for the mishap, because the cake was delicious, beautiful & much better than the former favorite. Almost every guest asked where we got the cake. Violetta & Crew — Thank you so much!

So excited to find a Raley’s in Vallejo. I just can’t find what I need at the other grocery stores.

It’s unusual though not completely absurd to get carded 15-​some years after drinking age. But it’s pretty lousy when the cashiers give no latitude whatsoever. I get the tension between customer service and letter of the law. But this was a no brainer, well within the cashier’s discretion. Boo Raley’s. You’re not competitive value-​wise, it wouldn’t kill you to try to make up for it with service.

Like any other Raley’s it has the basic over priced necessities you need. I wasn’t impressed by the customer service at this Raley’s. I didn’t feel acknowledged and welcomed. I also didn’t like the bathrooms. They needed a good scrubbing and sanitation. Who the heck leaves a freaking lotion and tampon in the sink? I don’t care if it’s not used of not. That’s just gross, and the customers need to be considerate that this isn’t the bathroom at their home. One good thing I can say about this Raley’s is a good majority of the items are stocked neatly.

Love this local Raley’s. It is my go-​to spot for organic and healthy options. Prices are way below Whole Foods for the same products. The people that work here are always smiling and so friendly. Thank goodness I dont have to drive into Napa anymore to go to Whole Foods!

Raley’s continues to be a good bet for organic vegetables (kale, my favorite!!) and specialty food items that I can’t find elsewhere (like Marmite or organic gen mai chai tea). I find myself shopping here more and more.
I particularly enjoy the organic kale which is often only 20 cents more than the conventional kale at Safeway’s.
Staff is friendly, too.

Vallejo. There’s no Trader Joes. There’s no Golden Nugget. And there’s DEFINITELY no Whole Foods. They have great stuff, but I REFUSE to burn gas money when all I need is some chicken thighs and decent dessert (if I don’t feel like baking.) So that only leaves me with one choice, inner-​city: Raley’s.
Sure, It’s definitely no comparison to the other groceries stores I just mentioned. And yeah, EVERY city has one. But for a city like Vallejo (a… special… kind of child, but loved nonetheless), a store like this is a diamond in the rough. It’s the only grocery store in the city that has an OK organic/​natural section. They’ve also got a great bakery and deli section as well. I think I like theirs a bit more than Safeway’s. Oh, I specifically mentioned chicken thighs earlier. I can always get em the cheapest here. I usually go for the boneless skinless variety. The price for em here are consistent lower than Safeway and FoodMaxx. They also carry the tall bottles of Samuel Smith beers. You’ll definitely only find hat beer in Vallejo here at Raley’s.
Service is always super-​friendly here. The store is always clean and orderly as well. All in all, this is my favorite grocery store in Vallejo. While a few items might be a few cents pricier here and there, it’s definitely worth it if you;re doing groceries in Vallejo. In this city, you won’t find a finer store.

This is where I get my groceries. The prices are reasonable, the produce section is large and prominently placed, there is variety and thought in the selection offered, and the people who work at the store make the place five stars.
Highlights
–Cereals, nuts, dry foods dispensary/​bar
–Rockstar cashiers, floor workers, and food handlers. I once had a guy hand pack me scallops that weren’t even on display because he asked what I was cooking for… and he didn’t feel like the right things were available.
–Wells Fargo Bank (not just ATM) inside the grocery store makes errands faster
–I always seem to end up spending $ 100 – 140 on groceries for my girlfriend and myself. We eat richly, happily, and healthy.

Best Organic and whole foods section in town. I love to eat whole and unprocessed as much as possible and Raley’s makes this a possibility. Its a shame there are no health/​whole foods stores in Vallejo, but Raley’s does the job.

Best produce in town. When I want fresh vegetables and fruit, this is the first place I think of that’s local and everyday. Better selection than Safeway.
good tip: their bakery has the old recipe for the Pink Champagne Cake that made Vallejo’s Home Bakery the greatest little bakery in the world. I’ll come here and order my birthday cakes from now on!

I eat like a dirty hippie. All healthy and what-​not. This place is huge and has everything. Their organic/​natural food section is surprisingly well stocked for a supermarket in good old Vallejo.
Other than that, it is what it is. The service isn’t stellar, but who cares when you’re just picking up groceries. I’d probably give shitty service too if I was making $ 10 an hour.
