I was in the store tonight to purchase a bib or Coke for my restaurant. I have purchased bib of coke for the last 20 years and today I could not. The store has changed systems. So I asked to call the manager. Jeff Smith he chose to not answer the phone when called by the manager. After 10 min he texted back and sent the manager to the office She returned and did not have my information. I wasted my time. They suggested that I return tomorrow and see Jeff face to face to get customer service. It seems that there were alternatives to me wasting my time and energy. Instead of fixing my problem Jeff Smith said I should waste my time and come see him tomorrow so I can purchase from him. This is the most ridiculous version of customer service I have ever experienced. King Jeff demands his subjects( customers) to do as he pleases instead of taking the time to serve his paying customers.

Prices are better than some other places, though not lowest I've found. Still, location convenience and selection keep me going.

Unique chain but blended concept of large bulk items and regular grocery items.

Everytime i come here whether its day or night, i spend more time in lines than I do shopping. Please start having more cashiers, its always very annoying to spend 5 minutes shopping and 10 minutes or more in line . Ridiculous, but the coffee beans are good

Two stars because half gallon of half and half were in stock today. Minus three stars because the large Truvia sweetner was not in stock. Smart and Final has a new way to order stock...guessing. I'm going to San Marcos Friday and I'll stop at the S & F to see if their store is as poorly stocked as the Encinitas store.Today the produce area was a complete mess. A cart in the isle, the floor was covered with trash. It looked like people just messed up the produce.This used to be a good store when it was a store used to train employees. Now the employees hide.Thank goodness for TJ's, Ralph's, Sprouts, Lazy Acers, Stater Bros and Von's. Why go to S&F and get agitated?I was able to buy everything except sweetner today. It is the only store that sometimes stocks the sweetner I use.There are times this store really irritates me. I wish they are able to stock the store completely. Many of the latest crop of employees are very helpful.

Bought spoiled corn and half and half there. They don’t seem to check their produce.

Great prices with surprisingly great produce. They cater slightly more towards bulk shopping and the food service industry (restaurant pitchers, salad dressing cups). While still having everything else you need.

Smart & final is what it is, however, this particular one is a lot bigger and has a lot more items

Did more grocery shopping today and decided to go to the Smart and Final Extra grocery store in Encinitas. The store is always set up and themed well for the seasons. It's also clean and organized. It makes shopping a better experience. You can find discounts every day on multiple items and they always seem to have a great produce section. The staff here is always helpful and if you can't find something, just ask and they will point you in the right direction. I also like that they watch the number of customers in the checkout lanes and if they get busy, they open more registers right away to get you in and out of the store as quickly as possible. Now that's the way I like to shop.
