  • I looked up S&F in Wikipedia: they claim they have been in business since 1871. Wiki tells me that no, they only bought a grocery chain that had been is business since then. They've also bought a lot of other small chains, one of which was called Smart & Final (named for the owners) and, for some odd reason, they decided they would use that bizarre name. Anyway, finally went to this one yesterday and it didn't work out well. Store looks ok from the outside (though a little shabby) but the inside makes it clear that the building is from the 50s or 60s. Run-down, crappy looking. They had advertised Tecate beer, 30 packs for $16.99, two limit. I got there and they only had one 30 pack. I asked a kid who worked there if there were any more, he said no but that they should have some in a day or two. I walked around the rest of their "warehouse" for awhile, wasn't impressed with their prices or anything else. I started thinking that the only reason that they call their business a warehouse is so that they can buy crappy old buildings and convince people it's ok because they're a "warehouse"! I don't know, though, just my opinion. Stood in line trying to check-out, only one checker. I finally asked her if she could call another checker, manager showed-up about then and started checking. Though I noticed that he was at a closed checkstand after a minute, doing something there for about five minutes. So, his arrival didn't help the problem. I had stayed in the same line so, finally, got up there, got checked-out. About a block away I thought to glance at my receipt. I saw that the checker had charged me full buck for the beer. Turned around, went back to the store. Couple minutes to find the manager, he said, "The reason for that is you have to buy TWO of them to get the price." I had forgotten that part. I told him, "But there was only one available." He said, "There were other beers available, you could have bought one of them." I told him, "I don't drink Bud." So I went back to the car, got the Tecate, went back into the store, stood in line again, got my refund, thanked the manager "for wasting a half hour of my life." and left, never to return. I decided that they are NOT Smart but they ARE Final since that's the final time I will ever darken their door.
