I used to really like Albertson's especially after my local Von's closed. But, I see the same type of situation with Albertson's that I once saw at Vons. Poor quality, off brand merchandise, older food and what looks like a move to import junk. Yesterday I didn't see any of the familiar checkers and was met by a 12-year old "security guard" who looked like he was waiting for something to happen. The guy at the check-out counter was unfriendly and officious. The only person I knew was the bagger and she is always pleasant. The pharmacy staff is wonderful but for my grocery dollars, which is about $1000 per month, I will be moving on to Whole Foods.
