After years of shopping at Walmart & Costco when my kids were growing up. I find it refreshing to go into Raley’s who has as good of a selection of groceries but their produce and meat is a much greater quality. The best thing that shopping at Raley’s offers is the checkout. Walmart has 14 registers, 8 to 12 self checkout lanes and the smaller checkout areas on each end of the entire checkout are with another 16-20 registers.

Terrible customer service and absolutely crazy you need coupons on the phone and you can 't just use your something extra membership ID to automatically get...
Read moreAt about 3:00pm on 08/02/2020 multiple produce stockers were deliberately wearing their masks incorrectly with their noses hanging out of their masks.
