Ralphs

AL C

Always crowded, never any parking. Homeless always loitering. Always low on items, tiny one way isles, claustrophobic beware. This plaza was never meant for this kind of traffic. Parking lot and outside is always dirty. Ralphs has a monopoly in 92868, being the only grocery store in this zip code. Yet this zip code has the oc jail, uci, choc, octa hq, etc. Theres alot of people in this zip, yet were all suppose to shop at the smallest and dirtiest Ralphs ever. Orange just built massive apartments in the town and country area, in 92868, where will these hundreds of extra apartment renters go to get groceries? We really need more grocery options in 92868.

I ate a bite on my way home and when I got home to heat up my cinnamon roll I was disgusted to find human hairs intertwined in the rolls. Long reddish hair and small curly black hairs. 2/18/22 I will never again buy anything this bakery/deli makes.

Hello everyone, I wanted to find evidence regarding financial class of lower class, middle class, and upperclass discrimination and stigmatization from middle-upper class and/or middle class individuals that behave in a stereotypical, covert prejudice, and retaliate against those minorities that are currently struggling and aren't as fortunate as many of us are. I took the extra mile and dressed like a portrayed homeless person and walked into the vons. Even before entering the store, the people (both employees of vons and customers) gave me a very mean and rude look and made me feel uncomfortable and expressed that "my kind" should not walk into this store. I went in retrieved a VONS basket and the security guard gave me this look and then I started from the first aisle and took my time to walk into each asile until the last one was walked through. Throughout my struggling journey, the employees were laughing at me, they were whispering gossip about me, and then the customers made rude indirect and some direct comments. I truly felt uncomfortable, sometimes scared, panicky, and even upset because of how horrible it felt walking into a world where there is a divide and where there is a hierarchy and that being homeless, suffering in poverty, or utilizing government help can be defeating, overwhelming, and self-destructive due to the behaviors, comments, and even speculation that people give. Especially when everyone (well the majority) are followers and wish to not be left out or be targeted and in which if others are kicking the dog down, they keep on kicking just to fit in. Finally I made it to the self-check out and as soon as i put my items down, an overcrowding of employees, both security guards, loss prevention, and some nosey customers are observing everything I am scanning. And once I am done and I am about to pay. Everyone's feelings of hoping that I dont have enough to cover the cost, or that they want to see if I try taking something, or try to pretend to pay but dont pay. Once they see I paid and got my receipt they backed away for a few seconds. Upon exiting the store all I hear are rude comments, laughter of mockery, and the ocular hatred directed towards me and my kind. RUDE COMMENTS: - What is he doing here? - Here comes another homeless thief? - Usually latinos are the ones who can't hold a job? - What a bum? - Lazy mexican that does not want to work - I hope he does take something to have the cops arrest him. - He might have covid and infect us - Another loser BELONGINGS PORTRAYING HOMELESS - Wearing a backpack - Carrying a plastic bag - Appearance of being sweaty or have some odor - Self-talking or looking down - IF you are male - If you are not White or Asian - If you use Food Stamps or have an EBT Card RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGE - Educational Classes and Training in how to prevent the infliction of Homophobia/Transphobia, Ethnocentrism or Xenophobia, Racism and Prejudice, Aggression against minorities, rewiring profiling mentality into open mindedness and acceptance, and proper ethical code and behavior. - Leadership and professional boundaries, presentation, and demeanor during working hours or shifts - Reminder that all lives matter and that judgment of unproven or without evidence is called a Bashing or hate crime.

This location is always clean fully stocked and the people who work here are always nice. JT and his coworkers were on duty on my last visit - helpful and easy transaction.
