If you've ever wanted to experience a bizarre blend of a retail circus and a soap opera, look no further than Grocery Outlet! My latest adventure there was a masterclass in absurdity, headlined by a cashier named Erikah, who could teach a masterclass in obstinacy.
Picture this: a simple price query turned into a dramatic showdown. Erikah, with the confidence of someone holding state secrets, insisted the price was higher. No amount of reason or evidence could sway her. It was like debating with a brick wall that occasionally rolled its eyes.
As the curtain rose on this impromptu theater, two more employees were eventually roped into our $2 saga. The sheer manpower required to resolve this trivial issue was impressive. They might as well have handed out popcorn to the other customers who surely enjoyed waiting during this unscheduled performance.
Erikah, if there's an award for Most Stubborn Cashier or Best Performance in a Grocery Store Drama, you’ve got it in the bag. May I suggest a career in acting or perhaps professional debating? Your flair for drama is truly wasted at a register.
For the rest of us mere mortals who come to buy groceries, a touch less drama and a smidge more competence would be delightful. Navigating this retail labyrinth should not require the patience of a saint and the persistence of a door-to-door salesman.
I did eventually leave with my purchase, along with an experience more memorable (and more maddening) than any grocery run should be. Next time, I’m bringing a camera crew to document the spectacle. Stay tuned...

I'm far from my original home. I grew up in the PNW.IYKYK. it is always nice to talk story with people that it is familiar with. Especially if you are missing someone. This adventure to the newest grocery proved out of this world. Maybe my Dad was giving me a sign beyond the grave.
Upon entering was greeted. That is def refreshing as that is not the norm usually in Vegas for a grocery.
Grabbed a cart and began to maneuver each isle comparing prices. I'll say this you'll def save money here.
Interior is great in size. They offer everything you'd find at your standard grocery for a fraction of the cost. The store was in immaculate condition. Do you remember the original location that was on Charleston on the East Side? Night and Day experience compared to that location. With inflation I'm glad we have more affordable healthy options to choose from.
Would def recommend- pricing is truly cheaper than the grocery. Especially with their organic options. The customer service was on point. And back to my Dad. The lady that rang me up just happened to be from my hometown and went to his highschool. Out of all the places, especially here in Vegas, Coincidence, I think not. However, I walked away at peace and pleased with a cart full of groceries.
Location is Blue Diamond/ Valley View-...
Read more1 am formerly from Oregon & we had grocery outlet out there, so I love this store & was happy to have one now in my new home. Very clean store, great prices, friendly staff. What stands out above and beyond for me is that this morning I unknowingly left my wallet in my cart when I returned it (I would say that is my only complaint is there no cart corrals in the parking lot and I have two kids, so taking the cart back was mildly a pain, but worked out in my favor here). I had been freaking out this afternoon searching for my wallet & in the evening I received a call from the manager who was able to get my contact info with some investigating and she stated she found my wallet. I am extremely grateful for the dedication and time put in to get my wallet returned to me. If I didn't already love the store, I love the store & staff even more! Thank you team, you...
