The old woman, the owner woman, CHEATS when she checks you out. WATCH HER if she's the one who checks you out, have your eyes peeled! Here are a few ways she would cheat if you are not watchful and alert:

cheating trick#1 -- by adding weight to items sold by weight, how? you may ask; here's how: A) she weights an item while part of a bag of previously scanned items is on the surface of the weight, therefore adding weight to the item being weighed; OR, B) her left hand lingers on the part of the weight. How to prevent her from adding weight? I put by-weight items to the last; I wait for her to scan and bag the items by bar-codes, then I take the bagged items into my cart, and so she has nothing to linger on the weight's surface and you watch her left hand

cheating trick#2-- by adding extra items that you don't have, when you buy many items, say 10; she adds an item or two that you don't have, and a lot of time you don't pay attention and just pay the total.

cheating trick#3 -- by keying in higher price than the actual price, for example, say a produce is actually $1.19 per lb, she keys in $1.29 per lb; or keying $3.99 when an item is actually $2.99. Again, when you buy many items, sometimes you lose track.



Yesterday, she attempted to cheat on me - I have 9 items including 1 sold-by-weight taro root. Seeing that 1/4 of the bagged items were on the weight surface before she was about to weigh the taro root, I took the bagged items away from the counter into my cart; while my attention was on taking the bag, she quickly keyed in an item but I wasn't paying attention until I read the screen and saw this item that I didn't recognize, and I asked "what's this item? I don't have that!" she quickly took that off.



Why do I go there knowing this owner woman cheats all the time? This store has unique things, Asian, Spanish, Philippine, Thai, etc. There are some items that I can only find there. And, in my experience, other employees are not cheating; and her daughter, at least in my experience, does not do that. I think I should warn other people.

Ethnic WOW !

I can't believe I'm the first to rate this place.



This isn't just Asian/Oriental. They also have lots of Hispanic foods, and I always see African immigrants shopping there too. (The current owners are Filipino.)



They have a HUGE selection of rice. At least 20 different varieties or brands, in sizes from 5 pounds to 20 pounds. Short grain, long grain, basmati, Thai/Jasmine, brown, and sweet.



They have a HUGE selection of asian noodles, regular wheat, plus ramen, somen, soba, rice, bean, and tapioca. They have a HUGE selection of pre-packaged pre-flavored ramen in bowls. They have a HUGE selection of beans.



They have a HUGE selection of hispanic spices, a whole rack of probably 3 dozen kinds and styles of chili pepper. They have a HUGE selection of canned goods of hispanic and asian origen. They have a HUGE selection of candies of asian origen.



This is another MUST SEE on the West side. They are on the point where Tibbs intersects Lafayette Road. They are on the EAST side of Tibbs, and the WEST (or South-West) side of Lafayette.
