This is more specifically a complaint to Lucky supermarkets in General but since MY experience was at this specific store I'll leave it here...
Lucky's c'mon now get it together! You can't expect customers to like all this misleading BS! I was happy you became Lucky again instead of "Albertsons" (what a God awful name)
Actually I was a bagger at Albertsons it was like my second job, I earned $7 an hour but it was fun... sorta... But I digress, back on topic now with my not so "lucky" experience...
Long story short (okay medium)
Got two of these $10 gift cards from my Grandmother when I visited her in San-Luis Obisbo recently. Called the number on the back to check the balance, both were full. Cool, twenty bucks and it says "Lucky" on there, clear as day right under "Albertsons" and a few other stores I don't recognize... Now am I CRAZY to ASSUME that would mean "hey, I can spend $20 at Lucky's! ... I mean not fucking rocket science now, right?!?!
So when I take the time to find some shit I kinda want that's like fifteen bucks and then try to buy it with these cards that say Lucky on them and I'm told plain and simply "we don't take those, that's for Lucky's "down south".
Don't expect me to be like "oh of course it is how dumb am I to not have thought of that, you know since you can clearly distinguish between the two since you put the exact same fucking logo on the card with no mention of "only certain luckys are lucky" or how about putting "NOT" right before the Lucky logo and then write "if used in NorCal" right below it, hey that'd be STUPENDOUS Lucky.
Your LUCKY you have a nice dessert section and decent fried chicken so we can still be friends but this is kinda some BEE freaking ESS! A Lucky gift card is a Lucky gift card is a... at least it should be IMO...
IF Y'ALL WANT TO BE DIFFERENT OR 'ADHERE TO DIFFERENT GIFT CARD RULES' THEN PICK A DIDFERENT BUSINESS NAME AND STOP CONFUSING CUSTOMERS...
IS THAT ENOUGH CAPS OR SHOULD I KEEP GOING-
So there you have it, Bayview Lucky's; A variety of quality goods conveniently accessible with decent parking and a stupid gift card system (or lack thereof).
But if you want deals to save cabbage so you can keep them pockets knotted
Grocery Outlet ftw!
