99 Cent Only Store

great food stuffs selection, esp Real Veggies.
not so great for nick nacks/​chachkies/​cards.
store sign says 99cents Only! not true… Lots of there stuff is $ 2-​$ 6 per item etc…

My fridge went out on me and I went to the 99 cent store for a few bags of ice. I would say it was around 9:45 am and there was only one cashier. The line was down the isle and she looked nervous. Now mind you there was staff all over the store, including the manager that I saw directing people in the back.
The woman in front of me called out to the checker to see if there could be another checker o n hand and she got no response. The people in line, including myself were starting to get annoyed because by this time, 10 minutes had passed and the checker did not respond and did not call for another checker at that time. Just as I was going to speak up, the customer yelled out to her. Can I see your manager, with other people in line nodding yes. The checker got on the PA and asked for help in which a young lady came out to help her bag!!! HUH? Not to open another register isle? WTF??? How is that going to get the growing line down? The manager was right behind her looking and running around as if he had no clue as what to do.
The same customer asked him if he was the manager and could he open another line. He looked at her nervously and said I am already on that. He then proceeded to help bag as well and help a customer get a balloon. Huh? After standing for another 2 to 3 minutes, he then decided to pull me out of line to his register. Great! I can get in and out because I only want to buy ice. NOPE!!! He was not set up to serve and ready to serve the customer, because as soon as he logged into the register, he looked at me and said I have to count my drawer.
OMG!!!The store had been open for about 2 hours and the drawers aren’t counted? So I proceed to stand there while he breaks open rolls of pennies, dimes, etc, all the while the line that he pulled me out of is dwindling, but more people are joining, but getting out of the store and on their way. I mean really? I will never go to this store again, with the head of your store behaving like he can’t handle the just opening up another register… Lesson learned!!!

surprised this store is only a few months young. nevetheless it lacks snacks like it’s brethen in the eastbay. didn’t really see an aisle dedicated to chips. so just grabbed 2 and got.
eats: granny goose (old oaktowner moved to l, a, via bankruptcy)
-«crispy & crunchy kettle corn, sweet & salty» (1)
well worth a buck or 2
–pop chips «sea salt rice chips» (1)
flat tasting, would skipped.
crumbs:
–no lines, in and out…
3 stars for small selection in snacks…

Went for a little shopping around 7ish on a Sunday nite. The store was stocked well, with a good variety of goods. There are14 rows of .99cent finds.
I was surprised by how clean the store was (compared to the one on springs road… which is always a mess). Also I was in and out in a flash, no line. Not sure if this will last, because it’s still new. But if they keep it clean and stocked, I will be back!

So happy their is a new 99 only store near by me. This store is very clean not like the one on springs. The staff was nice very friendly ! There was a lot of people shopping they even carry some produce. The store is walking distance from Starbread, Tapex & KEEPIN IT ISLAND which are all a must try ! Looks like this shopping center is bringing in Greta foot traffic this year can’t wait to see what comes next some one said Trader Joes maybe coming can’t wait !
