Dari Mart - Albany, Oregon

-There was a lot of expired food
-poorly managed
-Quick service

Management there is rather appalling I overheard that apparently one of the employees is practically banned from talking to customers and employees (ended up actually witnessing the manager themselves chewing an employee out after they asked someone how their day was....yikes)
And unfortunately I will never forget the moment I saw an employee pull expired product and then the manager put that product back on the shelves... sometimes they even make THEIR own sell by dates?!

Anyways I wouldn't get anything but bottles drinks, unless your gonna triple check the food dates. As for me, I'll definitely will just drive the extra bit to winco from now on, its a miracle they haven't been closed as far as I'm concerned...

Visted at 8:00pm to grab water. The staff ladies were helpful and polite! I didn’t feel like I was about to be robbed. The place was clean and it’s literally the best feeling at a random convenience store I’ve had in a long time.

I go here a ton, and love the regular employees. They got a good crew there. I hate going into stores, but I go here so much I enjoy seeing the employees.

My family and I have been coming to this Dari mart for the last 17 years and our experience has always been great. The last two times I’ve come in they’ve ID’d me (I’m 30 years old and look of age). The first time I had to go to my car and get it, which was fine and this last time I was with my mother and had to go out to the car just for them to sell to her because I didn’t have my id with me. Both times the girls (older lady with a perm and make up on one eye, then a heavier set 20-something year old) were rude about me having to hold up the line to go to the car when normally I just give them my date of birth and have no issue. Not sure if it’s new management enforcing rules harder and theyre annoyed to ask or if we just caught these girls on bad days, but common courtesy and decent customer service would’ve been nice.

My husband and I were going to garage sales on Friday. We stopped at Dari Mart for a snack. We picked up two pot roast sandwiches. The meat was moist, plentiful, and tasty. Good job Dari Mart!

This is my favorite Dari Mart. Always get excellent customer service. The soda fountain is top notch. Prices are reasonable. Never had a problem with food quality or anything else. Not too many Dubs Tees hanging around. Easy on, easy off access and close to the I-5 exit. They also have a drive-through. I'm very happy with this location and have been for years.

The manager ruins this place. I feel like this place would be better if they had a different manager. Every time you see her she looks as if she hates her job & it reflects in her customer service skills. She is relatively polite to costumers over 30 but anyone younger then that beware. She will give you the stink eye & be as unwelcoming as possible without actually telling you to leave. I feel for the employees that she "manages". The employees always seem unhappy & uncomfortable when she is around. Many (current & former employees) have told me that she treats them with very little respect, lies about the silliest things & will fire you for no good reason. One employee even told me that the manager had HR come to the store & then proceed to lie to them for almost an hour. How very unbecoming of a " professional". No wonder they have such a high turn over rate. This place has potential but nothing will get better until the management changes.

Generally a nice place. Except for tonight. I sat in the drive thru window watching an employee do something, not sure if it was register related or what. I waited patiently nearly 4 or 5 mins. I looked up saw the employee carrying an arm full of items away from the window and I thought oh he's just getting caught up. So I sat there a few more mins. I looked at the hours sign . NEW HOURS closing at 11pm. It was 10:10pm. Finally, I just drove around to find the doors locked and the forementioned employee as well as 2 others getting ready to leave. An older man with a smirk said were closed. You know would it really have been so difficult for that employee to tell me that at the drive thru instead of just ignore me? Or maybe you could have put up a note on your drive thru sorry closing 1 hr early. I mean the store is lit up like your open. Normally everything here is decent thats why tonight was just kind of rude.
