Safeway Food & Drug

2.5 stars? Really? With no disrespect to the the folks who left poor ratings, they must have had that one rare bad experience. I go to this Safeway probably once a week at least and haven’t had a single poor experience. Their produce is fresh (I can always count on their avocados), the store is well laid out, and everything is easy to find. I also got their bagels quite often as they’re really tasty, and cheap.
I usually use the self checkout but I still find the staff to always be friendly. If you do use self checkout, they’re always right there to help you out if something happens. I can’t stand using self checkout at a grocery store and having the clerk wandering off when something goes wrong!
Bottom line, this is a nice, clean Safeway. The staff is friendly and helpful, produce and bakery is good, and it has everything you might need.

The ladies at the gas station are incredibly rude. After gassing up it said go inside for the receipt (company card so necessary). The ladies inside ignored me while they finished their conversation, the lady at the register finally acknowledged me and said her computers are down. I told her all I needed was the receipt. She fiddled at the register while she continued her conversation then again after finishing said she couldn’t do anything. It’s the employees’s job to maintain the companies pumps, which should include routinely refilling the receipt machine. Called the store and asked for a manager got stuck on hold and sent back to the main line three times before I finally gave up. Service at this Safeway is terrible. I will never return here again.

I used to go here, used to. This is probably the worst of the worst. Let me start with produce. The produce here is gawd awful! At times I would be walking throughout the produce isle completely amazed that they would even put some of it out; tomatoes already shriveling, lemons with soft brown spots, lettuce browning and one time, no joke, potatoes that were sprouting, yuk! The entirety of the store is OVER PRICED. You can save quite a bit of money by driving one block over to the King Soopers. The staff here really could care less that you are there, so don’t expect much! Store has a funny layout and can be pretty dirty, hate this place! In fact I hate this particular location so much that I have boycotted ALL Safeways!

I’ve been a Safeway shopper since I moved to Colorado in 1998, but I moved closer to this one than the one I used to shop at (120^th and Main) and that store has since closed. I like the store itself, it’s nice, clean, comfortable, but it’s got three major issues. First, like a lot of stores these days they have a lot of check out lines, but usually only one or two are open. One of the checkers, I’ll do anything to avoid her line, because she acts like she’d rather be anywhere but here. Most people try to use the self check out. I know it’s a cart and horse issue: if there were more shoppers they could hire more people to work more lanes, but no one shops here because there aren’t enough checkers with open lanes. Second, they post a cash price and a credit price for gas, where other grocery stores offering gas don’t do this, plus I haven’t had a rewards card give me a gas discount in a while, though it works when I swipe it at the store for prices. Their gas is already about 5 – 10 cents higher than everywhere else. Finally, today is the last straw, I went in to get two apples and a head of iceberg lettuce and they have no iceberg lettuce. How can a grocery chain in a major metro area not have iceberg lettuce? I give up,

This is a new store with a high quality shopping experience. I appreciate the location as well as a quality selection of food.

In all honesty I didn’t know that there was even a safeway here. I want to start by saying that the store was clean. HOWEVER. Their «signature café» didn’t even have anything and the store was setup a little strangely IMHO but the absolute worst thing that I experienced here was the rudest girl I ever had the misfortune of speaking to. as I approached the checkout I thought of how nice it would be to have some nice cool water to drink also I had a nail appointment and I always get dust in my lungs (which is why I was up there in the first place) so I figured I’d get some Safeway water. I opened the cooler by check stand six and the waters were HOT not warm, not just not cold, but HOT and so was the cooler. I walked to the next stand and there was a water so I grabbed it and luckily it was cold but then I got to the check out. The girl working six… I placed my few items on the belt and I mentioned to her that the waters in the cooler were hot. She sighed and said I know — everyone tells me that. It’s broken we’ve called them you’ll have to walk down further. It’s because this stand is the one that is always open so it breaks from all kinds of people who just HAVE to get a drink” I was floored she was MAD! She was mad I told her… for goodness sake put a sign up that says it’s broken?! She checked me out quickly and then glared at me as she asked if there was anything else… I honestly have NEVER seen someone like that when someone is trying to help. RUDE to the max… figure it out chick — or at least let her go or make her do something besides dealing with people.

I have never been to a place where there are so many rude people. One of the checkers never says hello, thank you or anything in between. She just looks around all the time to see what everyone else is doing. I have heard other complaints about her from others. My daughter and I used the self check out because we had an order that needed to be separated and bagged a certain way and the checker that was working rolled her eyes at us and pointed and just acted like an immature child. I used to shop there all the time and do it fewer and further between as every time someone is rude but now I will never go back into this store. There are some wonderful people that work there but more of them are just plain rude!

The gas station has three octane options and the prices are consistent with oil prices. The windshield washer sqweegie is nasty and seems to put more dead bugs on the windshield than it removes. Gas comes out fast though and thats all that really counts.

I love going to a place where they recognize me. I don’t go everyday. I don’t even go every week. I go when I need to and it sure is nice to see a smiling face. I probably visit the pharmacy twice a year and while the pharmacy staff does not ‘recognize’ me (I consider that a very good thing!) they are always so helpful! Dave, the pharmacist, is amazing. My husband had been advised to get a brace for his wrist and was actually given an Rx for it. We took it to the counter and Dave mentioned that the braces did not require an Rx. What’s amazing is that he walked around the counter, left the pharmacy and actually showed us where to look for them. He pointed out the style that we needed. He also was honest enough to tell us that Safeway only carries two styles and if we did not find what we wanted, he could suggest another store. He was great! Torrey at checkout/​produce is also always very friendly and helpful. The sandwich guys could use some work and there is a female bagger with an Aussie (?) accent that complains a lot but I suppose any company that employs more than 10 people has a few bad apples. Great «community» grocery store.
