Jordan Market — Local services in Los Angeles

As a student I find cost and convenience one of the primary factors in choosing a shopping destination. Jordan Market satisfies both to a point, but doesn't offer much to incentivize a return. I live just a couple blocks down and thought walking to buy groceries would be a nice change from scrounging around for rides to Ralphs/TJ's.

On entering I immediately noticed how well-kept the store is. It's clean and bright, small but not unnecessarily packed. Despite being aware of and catering to its Persian environment/audience, it does not smack you in the face with that, and most of the signage is in English. Prices are a little difficult to find on items; they aren't often marked on the shelf, you have to pick up the item to search for the sticker.

I spent about 30 minutes walking around, and found that most of my basics wants could be satisfied—they have a meat service counter, fully stocked produce, eggs, milk. I did not find a "normal" loaf of bread, but they have a lot of flatbreads that I'm not familiar with, and I ended up picking up a 4-pack of deli-style, torpedo bread. There's a lot of canned cucumbers, olives, legumes, etc., none of which are in my normal dietary routine. Produce pricing was similar or lower than that of Ralphs, but for brand-name basics (Silk milk, for example), it's not a wise idea to get them here ($3.99 for a half liter, when it's that or less for a whole liter at CVS or Ralphs)

Checkout was fast and pleasant. The cashier made some conversation and was very polite. I left with four bags of basics, which will last about a week, totaling about 34$. I will probably visit again if I don't have a ride to the larger supermarkets, but the selection for the general population outside the intended clientele was limited there and I don't feel anything particularly special...

I really like the man running this place. He is a true gentleman and very very nice. The lady is not in a good mood and has an aggressive tone for no reason.

My mother asked her if they accept card and I paid with card the last Time, she ignores her and says No. I ask her myself and tell her that I did pay last time with card and this lady answers in a very sharp and aggressive tone “$8 is not $10 minimum with card” and stares me down. I was frankly surprised because if she had said the exact same thing in a nice tone or polite tone, I would have bought more things to reach the $10. So what’s the moral of the story? Ego is not conducive to running a successful business, especially in a mom and pop non corporate store where they depend on regulars.

See this guys and understand why business close and don’t progress- bad customer service. I will think twice about...

Horrible! Went there to buy some lamb because I couldn't find it anywhere else. The butcher ended up handling it with his bare hands! Not only is that a terrible idea generally, but it's even worse during a pandemic. I was then charged a $13 fee to even use the deli, which costed more than the meat itself. Once I got home roughly 5 minutes later, I opened up the plastic bag the lamb was in to find some putrid smelling rotten meat. When I looked at it closer I could see mold on it. I'm amazed this place is allowed to be open by the...
