Ralphs Grocery review: e142 5

its not really their fault. its the stupid rules hey have to follow. sometimes their outdated machines make mistakes because the company is to cheap to reeplace them.
i know, i work at a ralphs. i hate those machines so much. i want to pull an "office space" and beat it with a bat.

I have noticed that Ralph's store almost every week would have an item on sale for an excellent price, and the same item nearby for a regular, or even sale price, much higher than in the other location. Then when you buy the item it is charged at a full price, 2-3 times higher, and they hope you'd accept that. If you do not, they do a "price check" and tell you - "look, this item is on sale for $9.99, not $3.79". The item is exactly the same, volume/brand/quantity/ID number. But, they say, " we are out of " the cheaper one. Or "the quantity is wrong". But now they are so bold that everything is the same but they just don't give you and explanation. I have watched this happen to poor senior citizens that are forced to give their last penny to get the medicine they need, that costs them triple of what they came to the store ready to pay. And now it happened to me several times - and all they say -"We can give you a 1800 number to call" - and which idiot is going to call such a number to waste another hour out of their life. Even homeless value their time and emotional life more that speaking to a computer about "leaving a customer comment" for 30 minutes.

THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SCAM, NOT AN INNOCENT MISTAKE, AND WE ALL KNOW THAT. THIS HAPPENED MORE TIMES TO US IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAN IN ALL OF OUR LIVES BEFORE. WE SHOULD NOT JUST TAKE IT BUT NEED TO SPEAK UP.

I, PERSONALLY, WILL AVOID PLACES LIKE THAT, AND WILL SPEAK FOR THE WEAK AND POOR PEOPLE I SEE COUNTING PENNIES TO PAY UP TO RICH FAT SUPERMARKETS.

Beware of Ralphs super service center, 2805 n hwy 89 Chino Valley, AZ. Took my vehicle in for services, received quotes that were way less than bill turned out to be example [8 quarts trans fluid quoted $76 but charged $252] Asked also for cooling system flush, charged for two gallons anti freeze when car only needs three quarts and they used the wrong type so must pay someone else to do it right! My bill ended up being over $2600 and they would not even let me ask one question! Car was done [according to them]but still made me wait until I demanded my bill so I could pay get my key and get out of there! BEWARE!

I went in to Ralphs at 23716 El Toro Road, Lake Forest, CA 92630
to purchase four $50 visa gift cards. I had never purchased any before. There was no price listed at the point of sale so I assumed they were for sale at the face value of $50. When I purchased them, I noticed that the store charged me $4.95 for each of the four cards. I told the manager I did not know that they were charging me $4.95 per card so I wanted to cancel the sale. He said it was too late "all sales were final" I told him that had I known that I never would have purchased them. It was not displayed anywhere other than on the receipt.By the time of obtaining the receipt, it would be too late. I think this is a classic example of bait and switch. I have contacted the company but they refuse to refund me $4.95 per card.

THOSE CARDS CAN BE LIQUIDATED INTO CASH VIA A "SPECIAL" KROGER CODE THAT IS USED TO PULL $ OFF OF CARDS WITH A VISA, MASTERCARD, OR AMEX LOGO...
THEY WONT REIMBURSE YOU THOSE SERVICE FEES... SORRY!
