Meat counter, extensive selection of frozen food. Good amount of space for non-food items, like over the counter medicine, schools supplies, cleaning supplies, personal care items.
Maybe a pharmacy, maybe not, depending on the store.
In Northern California, it seems Safeway and Lucky are the top ones, and of course Costco. Also 99 Ranch, often called Ranch 99, which is aimed at Asian food customers. There are other smaller chains and individual stores.
Whole Foods, or TJ's. Can I buy a mop, a bottle of Tylenol, and two quarts of motor oil? Not a chance.

What is a real supermarket?
These days?
