Super Sal Market — Local services in Los Angeles

Initially, I parked in a spot where all the cars were parked. However, “the owner” asked me to move because he was unpacking the truck, so I complied and relocated to another parking space. Shortly after, I was confronted by a female employee who behaves as though she runs the place. At the time, I was tending to an emergency matter on my phone when she rudely interrupted me, questioning whether I was a customer there. I mean, why else would I be in the parking lot?

She proceeded to tell me, “We’re busy today, and we need the parking spaces,” despite there being over 10 empty spots available. I explained that I intended to shop as soon as I finished my call and added that if I didn’t need to buy an item for my daughter, I would leave. Her rude response? “Well, go then.” I don’t know who she thinks she is, but the tone she used while representing the store was tasteless and unprofessional.

She continued being rude, telling me to lower my voice even though she was the one acting unprofessional and obnoxious. She then demanded that I either enter the store or leave immediately.

For a business that represents itself as “God’s people,” the staff here is shockingly rude and lacks basic courtesy. Perhaps it’s time to get off the high horse, humble yourselves, and learn how to speak to people with respect. It might even help improve your business because, judging by your reviews, this behavior seems to be a recurring issue.

When I brought this up to the owner, he admitted there have been problems but refused to address the issue. Clearly, I’m not the problem here. If you know there are ongoing issues, why not fix them by holding your employees accountable for their behavior?

I’m done with this overpriced, disrespectful, and frankly, racist...

Shalom!

SUPER SAL MARKET, a tighty packed, medium-sized grocery store, specializes in Glatt Kosher and Israeli foods.

Their selections includes kosher canned, frozen and fresh meats, fish and foul. Also available are fresh and preserved vegetables, fruits and nuts.

Some vegan and gluten free products, Middle Eastern spices and other difficult to find ingredients are available.

Vegan "kishka," a rich, earthy grain sausage, one of my favorites, is available in the freezer section.

Many labels are in Hebrew. If you need translation help ask one of the employees near the checkout registers.

Kosher cooking requires the use of two sets of dishes, one set for dairy and one for meat. The holiday of Passover requires an additional set of dishes. (That's four.) So there is a large selection of semi-disposable aluminum pans, platers, plates, and plastic tableware. Moderately priced, religious serving and decorative pieces are displayed.

Super Sal Market offers a large selection of refrigerated, house made, middle-east, deli foods. I enjoy the pickled turnips and the spicy hot carrots. Many flavors of hummus are offered.

A counter service restaurant offers prepared kosher foods for takeout. Seating is available on a covered patio.

A sink, paper towel and hand soap dispensers are, just off the parking lot, at the store's entrance.

The bilingual staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Easy free (wheelchair accessible) parking in their lot, south of the entrance. The store is mostly wheelchair accessible, although the isles can be...

Great quality and variety of kosher food. Good customer service, everyone there is helpful - from the store manager to cashiers to the guys working behind the meat and fish counters. Prices are on the higher side; however, you are paying for kosher food, so that comes with the territory. Good selection of various freshly cut meats and fish - they come either pre-packaged or you can request a customized new cut. Not all of the dairy selection there is Cholev Yisrael; some of it is OUd, OKd or equivalent; if you are looking ONLY for Cholev Yisrael, you need to carefully check the labels to make sure. Great selection of kosher wines and different pastries (most are Pareve, but some are dairy). They have produce as well, but the selection there is not as great and varies from day to day. Parking lot is not too big and does get full on Friday afternoons, Erev Shabbat. They close earlier on Fridays, 3+ hours before Shabbat starts; hours differ depending on time during the year. Best thing is to call them during that week and confirm exact closing time on...
