99 Cents Only Stores, La Mesa CA

There's never enough registers open compared to the multitude of customers. I understand that no one wants to work since covid and getting unemployment and such but still it's frustrating for customers, as well I'm sure for the employees that showed up to.work, sucks for them. San Diego county is such a high dollar place to live and I see so many customers are seniors and perhaps single moms, folks struggling. Seems they make this store their main place to grocery shop so while others may just go in to buy a few things, we are behind folks with full baskets, again long lines and only 2 registers open. I see they are building even more housing/apartments right across the street. That makes me think that there will be even MORE customers coming in the near future. I hope owner/management is thinking ahead of the impact this will have and how unsatisfactory it would be to just have 2 cashiers open. Y'all need to consider the growth and additional customers that is about to spill into your store.

My trip to the dollar store this time I was unimpressed they had the smallest section of fall stuff ever! All they had was a bunch of Halloween stuff and it's freaking August? ! Where's my fall s***!

The store always seems under staffed, with line backed up to the middle of aisles and the cashier don't know how to call for help.

I Love this Store, Always Clean, Sanitize, Nice helpful workers. Thank you so much & God Bless you

Very rude staff. I have to call four time to find out if my grandma left her card at thieve store, each time they were telling me to call Back because they are busy.

Love this store. Great deals, amazing prices. Helpful staff. Very clean store. Never know what you will find on sale.

The 99 Cents only store is NOT a 99 cents only store! Many many products there cost way more than that, plus it was confusing to me because the items that had no prices marked 9n them were 99 cents.weren't

No lines today! Sometimes would be my only 1/2 Star off. GREAT DEALS! PRODUCE SECTION RARE SOME 99 ONLY STORE IS HERE! DEALS

Walked the two and a half miles to get their 99 cent salad mix. Very happy with it. Similar slade is $ 1.48 to $2.48 in near by stores. Also bought $2.99 one pound ground beef. Very good trip. The walk did me good.

Products are unbeatable yet the registers need to be working more but the store is great I’ve found great staff and costumer service very respectful people

I visited the store on El Cajon blvd in la Mesa 3 days ago, I purchased about 60 bucks and was going through my receipt which I thought was too high! I was charged 5 times for multiple items that I only got 1 of! For instance I bought 2 plants got charged 3
I got 1 scrub brush got charged for 2 and so on.and the items where NOT. 99 cents these were the items that have a price tag on them that say another price! This happened 5 times! I called and let them know I would be returning to the store for a refund, the lady I spoke to said no problem I’m sorry this happened.when I returned I was told that my refund had to go on a gift card for the 99cents only store! Wait WHAT! I was over charged by the cashier! And I have to have my refund on a gift card! NO! I said where is the manager? She said oh he is gone for the day! I said OK who is in charge? She said the lady in charge is on a break 1hour break! I said.well I’m not waiting 1hour call her! She than walked away from the register and left me standing in waiting. I said to another cashier? Where did the lady who was helping me go? She said back to work.long story short I was-handed a 10 dollar card to spend in a store I will NEVER step foot in again! Worst customer service ever!

I live in rosarito Mexico I go all the way on that side of town just to shop! They have lot's of stuff.many different Oriental noodles? , fresh strawberries, great Mexican candy they have things in this store that other stores don't have? I love this 99 store! #1!

FYI 2021 this store is making a great job at sanitizing people before coming in to the store! Also making sure people keep their mask on. IF YOUR AN ANTIMASKER DONT COME HERE. I will give them more than enough bussiness so take yours elsewhere!

OG post: Founds lots of cute storage for work and home some where a dollar others two but better than other places
!

I shop there every week because I know that I will always find things that I like or want at a bargain price.

Excellent parking. Has items I need/am looking for. Cashier was friendly and expeditiously assisted me.

Very well stocked on party supplies and Valentine's and Easter decor! Only 2 lines item so there was long lines to pay.

In San Diego for the first time. The city might be new but the 99 cent store continues to be super helpful wherever you go! Good Job!

It was ok filled with good stuff. My only complaint is that it is too crowded and the line for the cashier is long and extends to the isles which makes navigating them crowded and hard. Also, there is little supervision on the safety measures for covid. Customers are not really standing 6 ft apart. They are actually very close giving how crowded it is. There is a small sanitizer bottle near the entrance but no one really uses it because it's in a dead place and these things that are quite important are being ignored and not displayed as they should be.
