I will never go to this store again, I felt discriminated against by the manager, only because my husband did not have a valid California ID, I am 28 years old as is my husband, a citizen and resident. She does not accept any foreign ID so she does not sell any liquor to foreigners without California ID, that sounds like discrimination to me, I will not go to this store again, she made us feel discriminated against by the manager. I'm not mad that she didn't want to sell the liquor, but with the action she took of trying to intimidate us, this manager is rude. They have to fire her because she just wasted our time, so I dropped everything. What excellent service this old lady offers (sarcasm)

UnHoused gentleman at checkout. Items scanned & clerk waiting for payment.Person had EBT card in hand but seems no access code. Cashier was very patient & notified other employees. Always a good supermarket with great staff

Changing the way we eat and learning about body nutrients that allows for a BEAUTIFUL and LOVING life. They were out of fresh spinach so we had to choose something else, but this store is great. More than 15 years of service that will stay on in the budget. Ms. Tasha was of wonderful service. She was patient and had a wonderful smile that only made today's experience even better.Don't care for the parents that like to let their children run around. The store can be dangerous with sharp objects just around the corner. At the same time, those who are new to America have not quite understood the concept of really making sure their children are behaving in places that are not a playground.Many thanks for the assistance and upkeep with MY FAVORITE FOOD STORE!!!!!Bill was just under $65.00

I love my foodless at University Square. I've been going there for over 5 years( before I lived practically next door to the center it's located, I would stop in after eating at CiCi's Pizza before CiCi's ended up closing it's doors due to genetic tampering of the common cold and flu virus, aka,the coronavirus which causes respiratory illnesses/ diseases in all mamals. COVID-19 is a lab creation and one can tell this by its batch number,19, which also means there many more prior, one prime example that was also spearheaded by the exact same Lead as COVID, Dr. Fauci, was the Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome, a genetically altered version of SAR RNA) but I digress. And back to food4less. The staff is great, though often undermanned, the crew bust their tails for you and make it more of a personal visit with friends,or the cashier you want to invite out to dinner and a show ,than just another grocery store trip. ..and the online merch will blow you away

Great Kroger products and organics from Simple Truth. Needs more selection in the Organic Veggies department. But a good start.

This food 4-less is OK 👌. The staff is awesome. But the gas station 🚉 is cheating on the customer's rewards card transaction. I had alot of points and still there was no difference in the price. It was still high quality service. Not good!😠👎

This location always has ridiculous lines and not enough registers open. Lots of empty shelves, prices not clearly marked, ads not clearly marked, and food doesn't always look fresh. This used to be one of my go to shopping places in this area, but quality seems to have really declined in the last year.

Mari is a horrible cashier and should not be on the front end if she’s going to have an attitude along with being mannerless. My mom went in to buy some soda that was clearly marked as as a deal but Mari from the beginning of checking us out had an attitude and refused to believe that the sodas were having a deal. She then had to go check herself which seemed to be such a hassle for her to do her job and when she came back she started to be very rude and aggressive. We now didn’t want the sodas anymore because it was taking way too long and her attitude made us want to leave and never come back but she refused to let us put it back and made us pay for it with her aggressive attitude. Definitely don’t want to see her anymore.

This place is not like it use to be the new manager that they have rude and racists if you don't have a valid California I.d u can't buy liquor and they say it in a rude way like discriminating you... Never again shopping here all that new Cashiers they hired are rude and slow.

Bad experience all around.and not the first time. it’s the Definition of Rudeness over here from the Cashiers and don’t get me started on managers. Managers I wouldn’t hire as baggers if they visited my store. You would think that a manager would fade a customer heat when presented to them the opposite is practiced here. I guess it rolls downhill at this store. Not sure if corporate offices train for customer service in these stores or they think because their prices are a bit cheaper customers and customer service comes as third class. Too bad.

This is my local store. I will not be going here again. Teresa Is so rude. I had my family with me. She clearly did not know that I know Spanish. I had asked her if my transaction had gone through and she just stared. I asked again and no answer. She chewed her sun flower seeds or gum and had a very annoyed look on her. Again no word. So finally I asked again and she answered and said yea.Then as I was loading up I heard her say something to another customer. (****es Gringos).

Update 6/20/2023I am not a fan of having to download an app to get in-store savings. It is very intrusive and I should not have to grant your corporation access to my personal information to get good deals!I shop here regularly, lately the check-out lines have been very long and it doesn't seem that there are enough checkers. The store is clean and the clerks are wonderful but there should be more clerks.

I love the Clearance section in food 4 less. A lot of great deals. There is a young lady that brings the shopping carts in. She is such a great devoted worker. She loves the exercise. Clean store. Great prices. Friendly Cashier's. Store Manager's. Gas attendant. All the trees are cut down all in university square. No more shade tree's.

This guy in the middle that works here. I asked him if he knew how cross contamination works because he was being rude after I helped returning a cart. He stated he don’t care, he’s just doing what he’s told. I’d say management has some type of problem for workers to be so rude and disrespectful after a customer help do their job.

This grocery store has the best prices in town. I think they have great weekly specials on fruit and meat.The catch is the line to checkout is always crazy long. If you just want 1 or 2 items, you might want to run in somewhere else. It's not a quick stop shop. As long as you're a patient person it's definitely worth your time.l

The staff at this location are awesome! I have one issue, the ladies bathroom is absolutely disgusting.It is egregious! There was a pile of tissue on the side of the toilet in the handicap bathroom with a soiled sanitary napkin in it! I was so disappointed with the cleanliness of this restroom. I am sure that it is not up to par with the CDC regulations. That bathroom look like a COVID-19 house. Food 4 Less has great prices but the cleanliness of the restrooms is underwhelming. Just because a store is in a urban location does not mean that the people who shop there do not deserve the best!!! Food for less you have failed your customers in this area. I can only imagine the particles that are floating around in the air, I am so glad that I still wear my mask!! Something needs to be done about this. There is brown stuff on the floor I don’t know if it is feces or dirt but it is unacceptable. The bathroom doors do not lock they open when you are on the toilet. Something needs to change immediately.

I was there shopping today around 2 pm I paid at register #7 . There was an elderly man behind getting ready to pay he asked the female cashier for help to get the coupon discount on some items he wanted to buy, the cashier asked another female employee to help this man. So the elderly man asked the second employee to help him and she just told him you have to download the app that was it nothing more and she walked away. This man didn't receive appropriate customer service in my opinion. Disappointing.

Lost my daughters beloved book inside tonight and was almost heartbroken when the quick thinking of 1 of the workers put it up after floor mop machine ran it over but was still in good shape and made me best dad in the world when I came out with her book... Thanks guys... On a separate note.... Those new bags are not suggested...

This is our local grocery store and i love it. Produce is always fresh, lots of different cuts of meat for affordable prices. Have never had a problem with the food or the service. Bakery section is legit too.

Friendly staff. The store is also organized well to where it's easy to find what you need. Great selection of alcohol. The store is clean. Their parking lot is also huge, so you won't have a hard time finding parking. Sometimes I feel like they need to open up more cashiers though. There'll be long lines with only one or two cashiers open.

Compared to other stores nearby. I've lived in this area all my life and this is one of our go to for groceries. Can't go wrong with the prices. New deals every Wednesday. Love their hours of operation. The employees are helpful and friendly. Parking is OK, use to be better before they added a food4less gas station, can earn up points from shopping and use toward gas.

People here are extremely rude! Watched one of the cashiers made fun of a gentleman because he wasn't able to afford his food. They even cursed him out. Very unprofessional.

Managers, cashiers and other store personnel are always friendly and very willing to assist and answer any questions. One incident I had been overcharcharged on my receipt, after I presented to manager he politely apologized and my money was refunded. I've been shopping here the last 6 yrs, great prices! Thank you staff great work it shows!
