“Working conditions”

11/28/22

I worked there for one year as a night shift shelf stocker, I was very over worked and under paid. The management was awful. This was the WinCo foods located on state street and horseshoe bend road in Boise. I never got any time to myself and only got one night off of work per week. We could keep anyone working there because it was 12+ hour shifts and only making 13 dollars an hour was not worth it. I then moved on from then to Costco and that was the best transition from a job I have ever had in my life

If you are thinking of having your kids work there, it will be the biggest mistake you will ever make

Horrible self check out cashier SCO 2 in Kennewick, Washington store #*******. She was very rude! I never had this bad experience before at this store. She was mad at me and threatened me to cancel my groceries I already scanned because I didn't want to check out at different cashier in person instead I was willing to spend my time to do self check out by myself.

This review is for the Winco store in north Phoenix, 330 W Bell Rd. Unless you go and do your shopping during the middle of the night, this store NEVER has enough check stands open, and enough checkers working to alleviate long long lines. Depending on the time of day, getting in and out quickly is not possible. Like the prices on most items, but the service leaves a LOT to be desired

WinCo in N. Fontana, ca. Has serious issues with their shopping carts. First off, they are unsanitary. They sway when you push them and jolt you due to bad wheels. WinCo has the worst carts in the industry. As consumers who support this store we deserve better. Shane on you WinCo, you raised your prices, so raise the quality of your equipment for the public

I paid 4.29 for rich & hearty progresso chicken & home style noodles soup. The same exact soup at Walmart was $2.18 and I found Safeway even higher Nothing like ripping us off

Tip for consumers:
I can believe companies keep saying it’s from cost, poop it’s all about profit

Products used:
Walmart is a lot less and the exact product, the Walmart we shop at is in st. Helens or you would think they would be higher!

I hardly ever write reviews and if I do they are not usually negative ones.
The below photos are of the right hand side of WinCo (1175 North Happy valley road Nampa Idaho) I am warning any and all customers (especially those with children!
There's a empty field and it is completely COVERED in very full grown goat heads! There is no warning signs, no fence not a single safety precaution to not walk on, or near this field I spoke to Steve the manager tonight about it so I hope they get it taken care of! Also their women's bathroom was disgusting there was poop on all the toilets Hopefully they get their business put together in a more clean safely manner because it is absolutely uncalled for.

So like I said please watch your kids around this WinCo because that field is completely caked in goat heads! Tonight I got stuck in the middle of it standing on a for sale sign (thankfully it was there). My husband had to hurry from across the street after pumping gas and drive up into the field to come get me! Now his tires are completely COVERED with hundreds of goat heads
I am hoping that none of the tires pop because we do not have money to replace tires at the moment and I will be contacting WinCo if they do and hope that they will do something about it because this is absolutely ridiculous!

So I bought three different packages of ribeye. Got home they looked wonderful I packed them for a freezer got them packed in there fired up the grill about a week later and threw a pack on. They were so greasy so today I tried another pack and this time I'm marinated them I threw him on the grill better but still greasy I've never had rib eyes taste like they've been soaked in oil before I won't be by my steaks there again for sure

I love Winco and their prices. However, the produce doesn't last long. It's either not ripe or over ripe.

Tip for consumers:
The only thing I don’t like is the produce.

I've been shopping at this winco store in Arlington, Tx since day one of opening with no issues or problems but over the months their DELI WORKERS ARE HORRIBLE, WITH THE WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND BAD ATTITUDES EVERY TIME I ENCOUNTER THEM.THE OLDER BLACK LADY WITH A GAP IN HER TEETH AND THE OLDER WHITE LADY…. THEY HAVE THE WORSE SERVICE EVER SO EITHER YALL SHOULD HAVE THEM RETRAINED OR REPLACED ALL TOGETHER CAUSE ITS RIDICULOUS!

I have shopped at Wyncote for over 25 years but I will no longer go in as it risks my health. They said that mouse are mandatory but they do not enforce it. Went shopping with my 80 four-year-old mother whose Phone volunrable to Covid 19 and 1/3 of the shoppers were not wearing masks Or were wearing them incorrectly like just hanging off their face. Albertsons and Walmart in force the mask wearing they may be more expensive but you won't be risking your life and they seem to care about their shoppers.

After the bad customer service experience, I received an e-mail from BrendaB at Winco, who was more than courteous and helpful. She put me in touch with the manager Sean, who was very accommodating an apologetic for my experience. He offered to exchange or refund my purchase. I really wanted the exchange so I am going there tomorrow to get it done.
Very nice to have a positive outcome!

Yesterday was the first time that I found something wrong. From the deli we bought a Chicken Salad. To my surprise there was a Chicken BONE in with the Salad. I made my sandwich and sat down to eat it when I bit on the bone.
Other then that one disappointment WinCo is a fantastic place to shop.

Tip for consumers:
Anything made in the deli such as Chicken or Turkey, ask if bones were removed. You could break a tooth or get a bone caught in your throat. Be Careful and that goes for any store you shop

Verified purchase

I bought 3 packages of some prepared sushi (2 California rolls and 1 salmon roll, total price $24, just yesterday, September 12,2021 and it clearly not fresh. The cucumbers and the crab meat tasted stale, the rice was a sticky wet mess, absolutely terrible. I also bought what was supposed to be a pecan pie. Didn't taste anything like a pecan pie, again, stale pecans on top of a disgustingly sweet sugary paste. Felt like I was eating a glob of that paste, and nothing else. Of course I tossed all the rest of the good away after only a few bites. Sucks after having to pay for all that food and then not eating it, because it wasn't edible. Wasn't even worth it for me to feed the seagulls and other birds. The submarine sandwiches are dry, one can easily choke on them while eating. The guy at the fresh food counter was not wearing a face mask or gloves while serving me and other customers. On top of that, they're talking about other people in an insulting way and very loudly, so other customers can hear them. Overall, low quality food, fresh or packaged. Your prices are not that much lower than other supermarkets anyway. You will never be able to beat Super King's prices! Will not be going back! So goes the saying, "You get what you pay for". The WinCo in Ventura on Telephone road.

Purchased some cake truffles and they had mold all over them. Call the store and the person answering the phone had no sympathy for my problem.

Once touched you can't returned no matter what. Always read the very very small price on advertized items.

I worked there for 2 months. They have people in places that are not qualified. Shane in transportation has never drove a truck. He sits and watches people on camera all day like a snitch waiting to tell on someone! If you hire someone you should allow them to do their job. They claim their the safest company in the industry. They only service 30 stores in places that are not hard to get too. Plus they drive at night with little traffic. They also can't give you a schedule. Your called everyday at noon to choose your route. That's so pathetic when you just got off work at 10 am and just fell asleep. They are the worst grocery chain to drive for. If you want a good job that just wants you to do your job and give s great benefits. Go to Safeway. They don't micro manage! You will need to have great driving skill or you won't like where they send you! Sharon and Shane need to be fired. Poor management wasted miles. They don't know how to utilize their equipment. I came back empty 90% of the time instead of doing backhauls or cleaning up stores.

The prices may be really great but the service in this place is not good at all there's eight people in every line only four lines open and nobody from the management team will come to help on the registers. People work in the registers are moving like molasses. Maybe that's how they keep the prices low.

I received a flyer in the mailbox on Saturday August 12, the last day of the sale. No way of getting to the store on Saturday. I'm wondering if it was done on purpose.

I really like Winco. Open 24/7 friendly staff and pretty good prices. I have noticed more and more they have actual check out lines open not just self check out. Store is always clean as well.

I went to WinCo on West Bell Ave in Glendale, AZ. As u entered u noticed a freezer to my left full of chicken leg quarters. They had these 10 lb bags for $7. I thought it was a good deal so I bought one. It took a while to defrost it but I managed. It smelled bad even when it was frozen. I took the skins off and washed the leg quarters. I cut up three large onions, some garlic and some green peppers and roasted the chicken with all that and put several spices on the chicken, any meat would have lost its funky smell with all that but not this chicken. I don't know what was wrong with these chicken legs but no amount of cooking would help and they haven't come up with a spice that could make those chicken legs suitable for human consumption. No matter what I did or how many spices I used this chicken was absolutely disgusting and it smelled like road kill. I don't recall what the brand was, some generic brand but it was awful and I probably will become a vegan after this. I have even boiled it for hours in tomatoes sauce but it is truly revolting. I tried feeding some of it to the neighbors dog and even he didn't want it and that dog is a pitbull that eats everything. I would like to sue the company that provides that foul and piutrid chicken. Honestly I would not feed that to anyone and WinCo should not be selling such disgusting product to anyone.
