Well since our new store has opened on catalina island, its worse then ever. The employees are all over worked, the bakery and deli, are very very unpleasant to deal with, and more shelf space, yet we are sold out of items from anywhere to 4 days to 3 weeks at a time already... The first week open expired items already on the shelf. As a local resident here in avalon for 20 plus years, I miss the old vons'. Me and dozens of other people. People in the deli, use to be pleasant at the vons express, now cranky as hell, most of with only 1 day off. Alsom seems that there is only 1 person working in the deli, though there are 3 or 4. The bakery the same. All my years here in avalon, and a ex employee of vons, I have never known them to be such "slave drivers". Everyone used to have 2 days off, they need it over here, because of how busy vons is. But the impersonable, rude managers here at this store do not care. And the fact that more shelf space, and less choices, is amazing to me. They have now taken certain items off the shelves that my family has bought for years. Besides doubling the prices on most items, now they do not even carry have the stuff they used to. Now you would think that the store would be stocked properly, and not sold out all the time, (for days), and bring some selection back and give your employees proper time off. Well myself and others are starting to utilize walmart.com more frequently, cause the prices and free shipping. A majority of year round residents, are forced to try and find alternatives. Its to bad, we here in avalon 'were' very excited for a new store, but unfortunately, we now really miss the old ones. We sure hope you guys get some decent managers, and start stocking that store, and giving those (now) rude employees a couple days off...
