Sunset Super — Attraction in San Francisco

A grubby, run down, workaday, always crowded store. No frills. Often the stench of fish and blood rotting greet your nostrils like a knock out punch, but just hold your breath and head to the produce section to recover. Usually very rude staff ( Won't even bag your groceries.) but they'll surprise you and act human on occasion despite your years of friendly and profitable patronage. Don't give in to rudeness- keep being friendly and cheerful. They work hard and probably need some kindness; they look like they are often under pressure and being watched by supervisors. Cheap produce, usually second rate but adequate; sometimes far better than Whole Foods. It depends. You have to be persistent. Hit or miss. The patrons are usually very nice and friendly, even answering questions about Asian produce or cuisine and how to cook things. They are the best part about the market. You really get a nice glimpse into the community. And that makes the adventure into Sunset Super...

Ridiculous! There are other nearby smaller grocery stores which are better and competitively priced. They are just bigger but employees...
