Albertsons Market — Attraction in Alamogordo

I really, really, REALLY wanted to love this store, but I can't. I'm used to Washington State Albertsons, and I thought they were all the same. This Albertsons is like a sad knock off of the stores I grew up with. EVERY single time I buy any kind of produce, its bad. Even if it looks good on the outside, it's rotten when I get it home and open it up. All the lettuce is always bruised and wilted, "Little Gems" lettuce is literally rotting in the package on the shelf, and it's left there. All gray/black and fuzzy. It's crammed into the top shelf, where it doesn't even fit, destroying it further. I bought 3 lbs of the bulk "lumpy bumpy" tangerines, got them home, opened one up, took a bite, realized it tasted way off, looked down, and I saw the blue-green mold on all the slices. I'm not going to go into detail about what happened next, but it wasn't great. Most of my bag was this way. I did get a refund for that, but I have to be honest, I am beyond tired of having to make two trips every time I shop. Once to buy, and once to return rotten produce. These are just the latest two examples, but it's been going on the whole time I've shopped here. Also, whomever is in charge of their ordering needs to be re-trained. Things have gotten so bad with that store, I literally only go to buy their two lb bags of Sumatra Coffee, and Open Nature Creamer. They are out of the coffee for 2-4 weeks at a time!!! Sometimes longer. This has been going on for a year. No one has answers as to why any of the things going wrong are happening, or when it will be fixed. If I could figure out a way to get that Sumatra from the roaster without stepping foot into this store again, I would, and cut my ties with them forever. It's that bad. Yes, it's a clean store, yes, when in stock they have a couple of things you can't find in the other local stores, but it's going to disappoint you if you have any expectations when...

All I really need to say is that they have a Starbucks inside - you're welcome.

I do like this store; it is consistently very clean and well-organized; it's very easy to find whatever you may be looking for, including great quality meats, produce, and surprisingly, sushi. They have a deli that serves several options of chicken, and something similar to a buffet style (which serves a variety of wings), in which you select your food items and put them into a take out container to take with you. They also have a decent sized selection of fresh ready to cook meals for both the oven and the microwave, and when in season, they sell generous portions of fresh hatch chilies at an extremely affordable cost. I can't forget to mention the pharmacy, at which even where there is a line, the wait is never very long, as service is swift. Lastly, in regards to the staff, they are always nice and super friendly, but also very polite, proper, and professional. And every single staff member consistently maintains that; I've not come across a single one who doesn't - believe me, I've tried. Suffice to say that this particular Albertson's store produces nothing less than excellence and has definitely earned 5 stars...

I eat my breakfast here 3 or 4 times a week because they have such well made breakfast biscuits but today it was absolute garbage. I paid 4$ for a slice of unmelted cheese, 1/4 teaspoon of egg, and half slice of bacon. The biscuit was drastically different as if their biscuit chef called out and they went to go grab a can of pills bury biscuits in a can because they would rather serve people actual garbage then not have biscuits for a day idk if that’s what happened just my guess from the serious SERIOUS LACK IN QUALITY, these biscuits don’t even normally come with cheese slice in them but super cheesy eggs so I didn’t really enjoy my slice of unmelted uncooked raw cheese this morning but I’m gonna give them 5 stars anyway because I’m gonna be back tomorrow morning for my breakfast biscuit like usual and I believe that they will do better tomorrow. Everybody can have an off day but the quality today was sooooo poooooorr it needs to...
