Albertino's is a small but well-stocked convenience store with a large variety of products. The staff is always friendly, very well trained, and quick witted. The owner is an amazing guy who enjoys his work and will go out of his way to help customers, even sourcing special items. The prices are a bit high or typical for a San Francisco convenience store, which reflects its specific street corner location. It is a super convenient spot with an ample supply of goods.
But: The goods are generally not marked with prices (!), so you are basically running into the open at the checkout. Paid $36 for three bottles of water and three boxes of muffins. It's bordering on a rip-off.
I won't go shopping there anymore.

Always friendly, always has stuff in stock. Prices are typical for a convenience store in SF. Pretty well stocked up on a large variety of things for such a small location.
