Ralphs is a regular market for many, offering a great selection of thousands of quality food and household products. The store is always fully stocked with fresh produce, meats, seafood, dairy, home goods, and pharmaceutical needs. Customers note the fresh veggies and fruits, especially the sweet and juicy apples, and enjoy the good smells from the deli. Prices are decent with frequent sales and small discounts for card members. Parking is adequate and plentiful. There are self-checkout stations at both ends and cashiers in the middle. The store provides drive-up pickup, and while customer service experiences vary, some employees are noted as the best, being nice, welcoming, patient, and understanding. However, the store has recently implemented new security measures, placing targeted items in one blocked aisle to deter theft. Customers must purchase these items on the spot before continuing to shop, which some find inconvenient. The overall experience is mixed. While the selection, stocking, and many employees are good, some customers report encountering other shoppers who can be crazy and dangerous, leading some to avoid the store despite its good deals and unique items.
