Is this the right way to conduct sale items?

I shop Stater bros regularly and have for 30 plus years. Today the store in Canyon Country had Don Julio Añejo for, buy 4, @ $41plus change. Found a helper to get me four. He came back and said they only had three and I told him, ok, can they be at the sale price since I was prepared to take four and he checked and said that she, the manager, told him no. Is that normal? Usually a store honors the sale if until they are out. Angry.....

Poor customer service and lack of knowledge on company programs

Stater Bros Markets - Poor customer service and lack of knowledge on company programs

Highland Stater Bros #8

On 11/10/2022 at 9:20pm I decided to give the stater Bros App and digital deals a chance, BIG MISTAKE. Arrived to the cash register to be "helped" by Employee BRYEEZ.

No greeting, no eye contact but was quick to give the directive "I DONT NEED THE WATER ON THE CONVEYOR" (Refering to my two cases of water) she rung up all my items and gave me my total and I showed her the SB app and digital deals barcode. She was completely clueless and said "what's that I can do anything with that" I said "I'm new to it also but it's a barcode may be scan it" she replied with an anoyed and inconviniensed tone "no give me your phone number" I was patient and gave her my number, She replied" that does not come up" so I asked if there was anybody besides you that knows the program like a manager? And she said "I AM THE MANAGER" with a smirk in her face like she won something...lol So I said "really? Like a little night shift manager or a Manager?" Because she obviously had no sense of company programs or customer service...

I think this hurt her feelings because she just kept on going on about how she was not in the wrong and she was not being rude. I cut my losses on the miserable couple of dollar discount with the digital deals and just decided to pay full price and walk away. As I'm walking away she kept looking to engage on a back and forward yelling across the store! so I knew she was deep in her feelings for some reason.

The security came outside as I was walking to my car and noted my calm tone and kindly asked "my man what happened" I explained briefly and he said " waoo I'm sorry" it is sad when the best customer service in a Stater Bros comes from the one person without the uniform. Sad for "REAL MANGER MARIO AGUAYO" to be represented by his team that way, very unimpressed with lack of company program training. Also, it is sad Stater Bros is offering $500 dollars of hard earned Gross profit money to promote their app and loyalty programs their own "little night shift managers" Don't even know. I am deleting the app and never looking into stater bros loyalty programs again.

IF YOU HAVE IT GET RID OF IT, BIG MISTAKE, THEY DONT STAND BY IT AT STORE#8 or I can prove the "little night shift manager Bryeez does not know it" GOOD LUCK STATER MARKETING YOUR SPINNING YOUR WHEELS HERE AT STORE #8 Adress 1085 W Highland Ave. San Bernardino Ca 92405

TODAY this cost me a few dollars in discounts i will never see again but im confident with employees like BRYEEZ as your "MANAGER" you will loose a lot more...

Unhappy customer

For the past 2 months, at store #88 Mira loma stater bros. Their Tru moo gal of chocolate milk date on milk is way past the expiration date and their salad bowls are always past the expiration date too. Theyre not rotating stock and should be. It never used to be like this before the pandemic, now it is.

Preferred solution: I’d like to see them checking their dates on products and not selling expired products.

Horrible customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I went to the Cathedral City Ca location 8/7/2022 to recycle my 250 bottles ( 5 small bags counted) which would only be 12.50 and was turned away from the service manager. I felt discriminated against since the guy told me they cant take any of the bottles yet the store manager and other managers have accepted my recycle bottles in July and June with no problem and no limit.

I was grilled and asked what the person looked like who helped me and their names. Unbelievable!

The service manager told me to come back when the store manager was around.

It was embarrassing the way the guy was talking to me and I had my 8 year old child with me.

Mind you gas money is not cheap. The lady at the register had a smirk on her face and the service manager was rude and told me he could not help me.

Unbelievable how I was treated and cant believe the customer service at Stater brothers has fallen very low.

View full review

Preferred solution: Clear up whether we can bring recyclables, post a limit and everyone needs to be on the same page, ever one needs to know how to complete a recycle transaction, better customer service to all race.

I've been looking for a different staters to go to other than Stater the quality of the produce has gone down so much. But the thing is that if I ride out to Yucaipa the upkeep the cleanliness and service is so so much better. Now is it that the store on E. Baseline is considered in a not so good part of town that people are treated as not so good bathrooms are always dirty. Always run out of stock and the bakery sucks.

Custumer beware. I have used stater brothers stores for years.

Lately the produce look like it was bought at a 99 cent bargain bin.

Awful! Am looking for another store that gives the custumer what they pay for and doesn't make excuses for poor products and services.

Stater Bros own brands are awful and taking over!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I always loved Stater Bros until they started replacing everything with their own brand of products. That is because 99% of the items I have tried are awful!! Now I can't get the brands I lie because they are getting rid of so many brands. If I wanted that, I would shop at Aldi. Actually, most of Aldi's brands are pretty good. I wish Stater Bros would have just kept the name brands too. Now I'm forced to shop elsewhere! :(

Felt threatened by a employee

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review Dec 31, 2021
Early this morning, December 31, 2021, at 6:51 am. In San Jacinto California My daughter and I went shopping and at the check stand the lady bagging our items was very rude and disrespectful. The cashier Ciara was nice and respectful and always had a smile on her face, but the lady bagging our items was the complete opposite until I think the manager came. Well afterwards we were outside waiting for the taxi and that lady kept coming outside with attitude and when the taxi finally came she came to my side of the taxi we were in and for at least several seconds while I was putting my seat belt on she was dogging me I MEAN REALLY GLARING AT ME I FELT THREATENED

Preferred solution: Have a talk with her and let her know that what she did was out of line and threatening a employee are not supposed to make a costumer feel threatened

I like Stater Brothers. My issue is with their website. You can't search for products? Everything I search for comes up Zero? What's up with that?

Lousy Meat

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have been going to Staters since the day it opened the store at Ave J and 20th east in Lancaster, Ca. We bought all our meat there and and any other products we needed.

The last year we have been totally disappointed with the meat we have purchased. I am 88 years old and have worked in a meat market and my 4 years in the navy broke down sides of beef and cooked a lot of beef so I know meat very well. In the last year the meat at Staters has gone for ok to terrible.

One time I brought back two steaks that were rotten. Another time It was two b pork chops they smelled really bad.

I purchased a Prime Rib and it was so tough you could hardly cut it with a knife to eat it. We have purchased Steaks at other times that were so tough we threw them out. I don't know where you are getting your meat but my guess its Austrailia or some other country that will sell low grade beef cheap, certainly not prime. thats for sure.

I bought a grapefruit last week and it was so old it had no taste and was bad in the middle, at a buck 49 I took it back. My wife and I have decided we will by no more meat at Staters aand will shop carefully for fruit which we buy all the time. My wife has cancer and she eats a banana every day and I buy oranges which are old most of the time. The grapes are outstanding.

We like the store and have known the clerks for years and they are wonderful.

I'm sorry the meat is so bad but at our age we can't afford to pay $9 or 10 dollars a pound and then throw it away. I'm sure you will do fine because the people don't know good meat and probably will go on buying low grade beef at Staters.

WON'T GIVER RAIN CHECKS UNTIL LAST DAY OF AD

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Waited for 30 minutes for them to unload the truck for the product but could not wait anymore. Wife is done with physical therapy for 10 minutes already. Anyhow, I asked this lady supervisor if I can get a rain check because I had to pick up my wife. She said that Tuesday is the last day of the AD and I can get a Rain Check, THEN - -OR - - I can go to another Staters only 5 miles away.

Customer courtesy

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Have been a Stater Brothers shopper since 1986. Always enjoyed going to the store but not so any longer. Employees are rude and sometimes hostile towards customers. This store in particular; 4th St. Ontario, is the worst shopping experience. I understand if employees are busy but to be treated poorly every week that I shop is not acceptable any longer. Will be looking elsewhere .formssgrgrocerygsshopping
