After experiencing Bakersfield and AV grocery shopping.... Tehachapi's Albertson's is a far superior experience. They may not always have a full stock during holiday rush, but that's understandable. I like how friendly the staff is and after seeing the same people over and over again they can still ask me how my boys are and about my dogs. I find it feels more like a small town when they do. I was also very surprised at how willing they were to support the local fund raisers and how much they contributed during the Old West Ranch Fire. I have to give applause for their community involvement.

Albertons has good selection, so often times people are required to go there...but I am always disappointed at how their service compares to Save Mart. I frequently notice how FAST and FRIENDLY the checkers aren't (in comparison). Almost every time I go to Albertsons this opinion is reinforced. The employees don't have the same attitude of caring about your experience and taking responsibility for giving you fast and professional service.
