WinCo Foods

I had a good experience here today. I have not been to Winco in over ten years but wanted to try it to see the cost compared to Safeway and Fred Meyers.

There was so much selection. The prices were great. The Humm Kombucha we usually get was 75 cents cheaper at Winco and they had a ton of the flavor that usually has none everywhere else.

I didn't know they didn't take credit cards, which is fine and now I know. I can buy groceries and not get airline miles. I also can buy groceries and not get gas rewards too. We will just start coming here monthly for our big grocery trips and fill in with other places we love where we get certain things Winco doesn't carry.

I also forgot you have to bag your own groceries, but that was fine, I had to at Fred Meyers the other day since they don't have staff too anymore.

Store was not hard to get around and not overly packed and tons of selection with great prices and good parking.

The lines were not bad and the line goes pretty quick since they send groceries down to two people for bagging so it doesn't get back logged.

FYI: No credit cards. Bag your own groceries.

Congrats. You've customer service has dipped below Walmart. Also, try cleaning your store and parking lot!!

The 2 stars is purely because they do have a very good selection of items that are definitely cheaper per item when you compare them to markets like Safeway Or even grocery outlet. What I am not enjoying is the increasingly Militant attitude of the people who work there and power tripping About the 15 items or less in the self check out. I mean I totally get it if it's busy and somebody is taking advantage of the fifteen items or less andis using more of a line than that's one thing. What is ridiculous is when you go in and there is nobody at the self Check out and the Woman who works at the little stand near the self.Check out , just cannot wait to rip over there as fast as possible and look at your Cart and then lecture you for having more than fifteen items. This happened to me last week and so I go to the regular check out and they are Moving slow asthma lasses and only have one freaking line open when there is like Nine registers. So they force you into this long ass Is line of people when they are Severely understaffed and then won't let you use The self check out If you have more than fifteen items even when no one is in line at the self check out. Seriously let's use some common sense here.

The cashier at self checkout was rude. The sign that says "about 15 items" apparently is supposed to read "15 items or less" per my interaction with her. Maybe they should have more than 3 checkout lines open on a Sunday morning?

This has been a go-to for many years... in fact I have history here, as this was the site of the old K-Mart I worked at in high school many years ago... sorry, i digress...
Overall a good value, lower prices, but with that are some trade-offs. No Credit cards, only debit. And many items that are lower calorie or healthier are either not carried or dropped. What major store does not carry 50 calorie orange juice? Winco. Whipped Peanut butter, Gone. Diet Cran-grape, gone...
But they are open 24 hours, early shopping is easy, just remember they are stocking before 6am and stuff is everywhere. but easy to shop and get out quickly.

The manager here has very poor customer service skills. I road my bike to this location from forest Grove to get some laundry soap and water. I Asked very nicely if I could charge my bicycle light since it had died So I could get home safely on my 5 mile bike commute back home. I was told NO. I had the charger necessary to plug into one of there many outlets I found in the store NOT being used. when confronting the manager and asking why I couldn't use the any of their outlets and expressed I was concerned for my safety riding in the dark . she immediately was aggressive and told me that it was against the company policy for anyone to use the outlets and I needed to leave. I Paid for my laundry soup and water. when I told them they have no concern for the safety of the customers who shop here at winco and to my surprise the manager looked at me and said thats right I do not! She then called the cops on me for trespassing after I just purchased my items.. again terrible customer service. Poor communication. the manager was very aggressive and would not stop getting in my personal space and yelling . winco needs to put the safety and satisfaction of their customers first. This is Very disappointing as a community.

Having moved, I'm pleased to find this Winco being close. I'm also very happy to find that most things are laid out in the same place as my old store and I can find things easily. Hands down, I believe the lowest prices for groceries in most cases. Yes, they don't take credit cards and you have to bag your own groceries, but I believe the price savings are worth it. So far, I think the checkers were nicer and faster at my old store, so we will see how it goes, but when I consider the savings, the major chains will bust the budget. The reputation of this side of town is the best, but I was pleasantly surprised going here. Clean, efficient (mostly) and had what I needed. Definitely will be shopping here.

Compared to the other Wincos, this one is the cleanest and least busy.

I'd heard a lot about WinCo Foods, and was excited when I came across it. Yeah, it's big, and has a lot of shopping choices, and even a nice bar of prepared ready-to-eat foods. It's very mid-level place without a lot of gourmet options but it's a solid place to go shopping; no pretenses.

I feared for my safety today there must have been 300 people in that store. I had just come from Walmart & they only let a few people in at a time which made me feel much better. I wouldn't be surprised if I've got coronavirus today it was frightning..
