Ralphs Pharmacy

Viewing the lower comments, My wife and I experienced the exact opposite yesterday 9/22. After years of shopping at Albertson's we had a great experience at Ralph's in Talega. The people were very helpful in the produce area (except you have been out of lemons the past 2 visits), but the service in the deli area made such a great impression that it left us walking out of the store saying "we will be back here". The person working the deli area knew his products very well and offered up a few samples to help us decide on just the right meats. From there, the lady that was at the checkout was friendly and polite and even stood out in front of her register and waved us in as we approached her area. When an experience is really good, you find the time to send a note of a job well done

Will be reporting this pharmacy to the California medical association for outright lying to customers amongst other things! I have been a loyal customer for about 3 years and had a few issues with the main pharmacist, but all in all they’d been good until just recently where they lied to me about changes to pick up policies. Apparently they don’t want to deal with people who travel for work and have their meds picked up by people on a list that I made in person. So they’d rather LIE and make life that much harder than it is.

Worst shopping experience ever after shopping for close to an hour we had to wait in line with 5 other people also with full carts since there was only 1 register open. Once I got to the counter the lady was very rude and did not even greet us. When our beer came up she asked for all of our IDs even my friends wife who is only 20 and pregnant and cant even drink. So after trying to explain that all the guys were 21 she refused to sell us the beer. Needless to say we left both carts at the register and went to Albertsons and bought the same list totaling over $200 and the clerk there only carded the two buying the beer. We all use to do all our shopping at this Ralphs but will never shop here again.

The meat selection is rather poor (small pork loins and just a few selections of beef cuts) and the produce is generally and consistently lacking flavor. However, the staff is MUCH friendlier than the Albertsons. So I shop Albertsons for meat and produce and suck it up at the register.

This has become my favorite Pharmacy due to the friendly, helpful and prompt service. I would like to say a special “thank you” to Daniel Perez. He’s helpful and always goes the extra mile.
