| - Food, food, and more food. Need fresh produce? What about meat? Everybody needs meat, right? Ohhh...can't forget the alcohol! Well, come down to Vons so you check off all those items on your grocery list.
I'm from California. There are Safeways everywhere: in the downtown areas, suburbs, and people's backyards (it's common fact that people can grow grocery stores). When I went into Vons looking to buy some liquor I was like ,"Whoa...this looks like a Safeway", and it's actually a part of the Safeway brand (thanks to a fellow Yelper for dropping that knowledge on my head).
So, if you've been to Safeway, then you'll know what to expect. If you haven't, well, just think of a mediocre grocery store. There's really nothing fancy or eye-popping. It's just a grocery store to buy food. Or if you really need q-tips to clean out your ears, then I guess you can come down and buy those, too.
The place was really clean. Items on the shelves were stocked really well. The spaces between the produce was big enough for carts and people to get through. No complaints about the place being dirty-- it's as clean as it can get.
I guess I'll make a complaint about the baked goods. We got a few donuts and they weren't that great--kind of stale, actually. But Vons is no Krispy Kreme, so I guess we shouldn't have expected much.
But yeah, Vons is an A-OK place to go when you have to get your grocery shopping done. Thanks to the employees that helped us get our liquor and checked us out. Also, special thanks to the employee informing us that we had to go to the front to get the liquor because standing around for 10 minutes and waiting to see if an employee would get our liquor was not the way to get it. Yeah...stupid tourists....hi-yo!
