This is our usual weekly shopping choice and it really is a neighborhood store. However it is unfortunate that so much has to be locked up and safeguarded requiring assistance.

Everything i need close to home. Not in the best neighborhood but there is always security walking around which helps.

So we needed a bathroom and Vons had one way in the back thru double doors used for warehouse storage & service. It wasn't easy finding it even after asking 2 employees and one of twice.....lol
