I cant believe people hating on the Vons!
1 star???? I could understand 1 star if this was like a bombed out grocery in the Gaza strip that still is selling Crystal Pepsi, but this place has got everything. Plus, its open 24 hours. Right there, that has to be worth at least 2 stars.
Then there is a Starbucks and a full service deli that makes pretty tasty sandwiches and a fair price. Additionally, I love how the employees just make the sandwiches as they see fit, none of this nickel and diming stuff like you see at fast food places where they count how many tomatoes or weigh the meat. Here they just pile on ingredients and if you ask for more, they'll happily oblige. That bumps them up to 3 stars.
Then we get to my biggie....produce. This Vons always has tasty, well stocked produce. Im in here a lot and I see them CONSTANTLY rotating out their produce so I know its fresh. Can I get a 4th star? You most certainly can.....
Prices are on par with all other supermarket chains but I just feel this Vons has a good staff, great selection, excellent hours and sublime produce. So what if they ask you if you want to help a poor kid with MS or Cerebral Palsy, if you dont want to just say so.
PS - Get there early (think 6am) and their fresh baked bagels are phenomenal.
