Superior Grocers — Attraction in Gardena

Regular shopper on weekends at this Superior Market chain. I had great experiences in the past 8 years, but today’s meat services was upsetting. I was initially served by a cheerful young man purchasing two cuts of meat. I then went back and was served by a little older young man with bushy beard with a name tag “Artega”. He tried to cheat by throwing beef shanks with very large bones, which I didn’t asked for. I went back and showed him the bag of bones. He got irritated, and refused to show me the cuts at the second tray by inching slowly along the bottom tray. I asked to see the rest of the bottom tray, he shot back “why don’t you say that. I kept calm. I later asked him how many is in the bag (I asked for four). He again shot back “I am still counting”. I said hey watch out with that attitude!

When the manager walked away, a very honest cashier said she has been assigned to the lane before and ALWAYS finds it less than safe to handle food. And it is not only used for recycling but also to process normal transactions. I recommend not going to this location at all but if you must then I suggest staying away...

Today, around lunch time, Nicole the cashier was cussing and screaming and said never to come to her register again, lol.

Huge lack of decorum.

I have never seen such an unprofessional behavior in my life and I have seen many.

After paying, she was about to give me my change and I said once, can you please break down the 20's in 5's. She snapped and said, "I heard you, I heard you."

That was odd. After she gave me the change I firmly told her to please not speak to me that way as it was unneccessary. She snapped more and started yelling, cussing, etc.

I had to speak to the assistant manager who said that he will talk to her and...
