Discount Grocers

I went in to buy some Red Bulls but realized I didn't have enough cash for all of them. When I politely offered to put one back on the shelf, the older lady at the register abruptly yelled, 'No!' and yanked the can away, which made me feel like I was being treated as a potential thief. I understand theft is an issue in this area, but this approach felt unnecessary and unprofessional. Customers should be treated with respect, even in challenging circumstances.

I needed keys made by one of those key kiosks, and we were in the area. (Hint if you need keys and don't like the kiosk price, cancel the order, and the kiosk will offer a discount). We didn't need anything FROM the store, but it seemed pretty well stocked for a small neighborhood store. The cashier was friendly to her patrons. She needed to ever so briefly go outside, and I appreciated her trusting that we weren't the kind of people that would stuff our bag with her stuff. That gets tiring after a while. There are not that many shopping options in this area, just a Trader Joe's a few blocks north and a Whole Foods even further away. This store is not in my area, but it is clean and friendly.

1. Good (and Well-Priced) Beer Selection.2. Great Location.3. Nice Staff.That's how you run a business.If I want a nice 6-pack of Beer I've had good luck here. I've had some winners, including Old Monkey Shine (my photo). Usually a very palatable 6-pack price in addition to a very palatable Beer.$10 CC Minimum. They also have other things.

This grocery store is right near my recording studio, and thus gets lots of my business. There are a few things a man needs to make great art. They are:* Beer* Hot Sauce (Louisiana-Style and Sriracha)* Seasoned Seaweed strips* Red Bulls/Vitamin Waters/Etc* The odd cigarette, trucker cap or porno mag, for clientsDiscount Grocers has all of these and more, at non-extortive prices. They also have a very bizarre sign on the corner, that mashes up the art from a dollar bill with a bad dirty south rap album cover.At this point, that sign is busted in and often houses very cute pigeons. Plus!What they don't have:* Fine artisan cheeses* Anything harder than beer* Those hyphy shirts everyone wants* Crack...so, as you can see, the selection at Discount Grocers is not comprehensive. What brings it back to the realm of 5-stardom is the owner- absolutely the nicest corner store guy I've met. Whenever I ask for my groceries without a bag, he says:"Thank you for saving the earth!"When I buy seasoned seaweed strips, he shares with me his love of eating them while drinking beer. We have so much in common! He always makes sure to card me when I buy alcohol, and to make a big deal of seeing my ID and exclaiming "My god! You look so young! How do you do it?".I tell him it must be the seaweed and beer.

It was right around the corner from my hotel so it was a convenient place to buy water and snacks. They have a credit card minimum and San Fran charges for plastic bags, so my suggestions would be to bring cash and bring your own reusable tote. Rather than just charging me a service fee for not buying $10 worth of stuff, the cashier was adamant that I go back and get more merchandise to meet the credit card minimum.That was pretty annoying but other than that, since it was more conveniently located than CVS, I just shopped there.

I don't know about the discount part--or even, to be honest, about the grocers part--but I like this place. I really really do.You would expect a corner-storeish mini grocery on this part of Polk Street to be cramped and dirty, and you would expect the people working here to be surly and suspicious. Except for the dirty piece, nothing else holds true. The aisles are actually really wide for a store this small, and the guy working the register when I came was really friendly, both to me and the customer before me.I was slightly annoyed that they didn't have any bottles of Diet Pepsi, but that seems to be a general trend in San Francisco convenience stores lately, and I absolutely have no idea what the cause could be.

This store has a good selection of groceries at great prices. I found the cereal and milk prices one the cheapest around. I find myself shopping here more and more, I don't know why. They have a good selection of frozen dinners, lunch meats, bread, and ice cream. Beer selection is good. Great wine lineup as well. Cigs are one of cheapest in SF. Very clean store and cool-ass people work here. Peace!

We needed milk so we decided to stop by since we were at staples. I like that they're pretty big and they do have a wide variety of kitchen goods but I think the prices are a tad much. It's what you pay for convenience...they gotta make a profit too so taking that into account I'm happy to pay for what I need as long as I'm not getting gouged. Their produce though was not very impressive, in fact when I was there on a Saturday afternoon the produce was rotting & dying from thirst. This area had a unclean feel.I didn't get to walk through every aisle but they've got a nice selection of spices. And I saw a section for household plants I wanted to check out. Overall I don't think I'll be back, it wasn't very special, and especially since they're a bit of a walk from my place.

I do like this store although some prices are right now higher. That's Trump's fault, of course, for his criminal lying and mishandling of his Pandemic. Anyways, they do do their best and have a fantastic amount of fresh vegetables and fruits and an extremely good meat counter with a good selection of cuts at prices better than the big stores. Very friendly staff and their products are all very fresh. Dairy high right now. Not normally that high and hope it will come down as SF/CA economy is getting better in this Democratic Blue State. Also, an excellent collection of spices and sauces not often found in smaller stores.

This is one of the best grocery stores I have ever been to. Very friendly, very cheap, very good
