Anyway, her point was that she (and I) feel there is a real need in this area for a grocery store handling more organic, health oriented fare -- something like a Henrys. If sauch a store could be attracted to this location, I think it would be a success, not hurting for business.Richnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-32108655819061781892011-01-26T17:51:58.261-08:002011-01-26T17:51:58.261-08:00The employees at Albertson's are extremely fri...The employees at Albertson's are extremely friendly and courteous.

As growing up in L.A. and deploying to the Far East six times while in the Military, SB in Menifee is very clean. It's clean by any standards. It's just old(er). With the growth explosion over the last several years here, there have new stores built to service the new populace. You walk into a newer store, Benton Rd., Clinton Kieth and so on, our store is depressing. If my comment was interpretated (which I can see how it could be) as a slap at on how our Stator Brothers is maintained by Rueban(?) and staff, I do apologize. As you stated Steve. It is clean and staffed by very helpful and likeable employees. Not sure how "anonymous 1/7/2011 2 6:32" came up with the conclusion that the people there are "mean". Never had a problem there. Helpful and knowledgeable on where product is. And they do have the best meat dept. outside of an actual butcher shop. Maybe he/she wants them to break into an Irish jig when they walk in.Paul R.

We have been living here for 14 years. We always shopped at Albertsons because we felt that SB was, and still is, a dump. Then came the strike. My wife is a Teamster member so we (begrudgenly(sic?) honored the picket line. We realized the price difference and all of a sudden shopping in a dump wasn't all that bad. Prices at Albertsons seemed almost ridiculously high. Plus Coors Light has been on sale there (SB) for almost 5 years. Albertson's and Stators both remodeled. Albertsons became a really nice store and Stators upgraded a to somewhat higher level of a dump. Bottom line. If you don't compete, especially if your competition is on the next corner, your going bye-bye. I really hope something happens there soon or the other business' might wither on the vine. But with Albertsons owning the building and previous attempts to sell it failing, it may be a while.Paul R.

When I go to Stater Bros they are all so mean I hate going there. I don't like the Albertson's on Scott rd. because it's snoby. Everyone today, customers, were all so upset about this. The pharmacy people are wonderful and I hate to loose that feel of them knowing me and always taking care of us.
