What they did to me at this store WAS NOT SMART and might NOT be Final.
Smart and Final is a no membership smaller big box kind of store.
I like Smart and Final Stores for a few unique items I can't get anywhere else like the grout cleaner that's a miracle in bottle. My grout isn't sealed and this stuff makes it look brand new in an instant. I love it. I also like their vegetable base. I use it when I cook greens with thin sliced onions and people do tell me I make the most delicious greens they ever tasted.There are several other items I also like. I make special trips to Smart and Final once in a while since they closed the location that was convenient to me.
This store isn't so close to me and I stopped here after another Smart and Final was out of one food item that was on my list.
I spotted the item I wanted above the shelf. We got it and took it to the register. It didn't ring up so the cashier called someone. That person left for a minute or two and came back and said that nobody put the price of my item in the system and I was not able to purchase this edible item. They rather have food sit on the self and get old than sell it to me.
They don't live up to their name.
Not SMART and maybe not Final.
