Safeway

This is the worst Safeway I’ve ever been to. The deli never gets orders right. The cashiers (on the rare occasion there are more than one) are incredibly slow, rude and have no concept of customer service. The service desk is barely open and when it is I have to wait 10 minuets for service. It’s a shame this is the only store in walking distance from my work, but at this point I’m ok with spending the time to go to the competition.

There is ALWAYS a line at this Safeway, and only ever two checkout lanes open, even during peak shopping times. You would think they would increase their staff, at least on high shopping times/​days.

Used to come here all the time as live six blocks away. Horrible, horrible customer service. Never more than two check stands open. Horrible meats and produce. Trashy store. Safeway, fire everyone who works here and sell.

Getting better, they try to open registers when there are lines. Self service lines would make this place awesome. This store is close to my house and very convenient. If they stocked their shelves better I would give them five stars. Often times they are out of simple things and am starting to realize that driving an extra five minutes to buy the items I want is worth it.

First, let me say the pharmacy here is the best pharmacy in town. They know us by name, and if I drop off a prescription for a sick kid they get it ready right away. I asked once whether they had other prescriptions waiting or if they just weren’t busy and they said yes, they are busy, but they figure that a mom standing there with a sick toddler is a priority so they make sure to take care of it. Wonderful!
However, the rest of the store is terrible. Layout makes no sense, prices are high, and checkout takes FOREVER. Where are the spaghetti noodles? Next to the beer, of course! I get prescriptions here and then head over to King Soopers for groceries. Every once in awhile I figure I only need a couple of things, and I’m already here, so it would be silly not to just get them. I always wind up regretting it as I stand in a long line to buy a gallon of milk. I’d be better stopping at the 7 – 11 on the way home.

I’ve been here a few times when I am in the area. The floral section is really pretty and affordable. $ 9.99 for one dozen roses is a good deal. I also tried their premade sandwiches and it was pretty good. I would get the sandwiches again. I have not done a lot of grocery shopping here yet so I will have to update on that later

One because I can’t give a zero. They never have any registers open even where there is a line it’s terrible.

This isn’t my favorite store, and today I had to use the restroom and it’s DISGUSTING! It smells bad, the toilets are all stained with pee and blood, tampons and pads on the floor, it’s a nightmare!!!

Nice And Clean. The Aisles are clean and well labeled.
Always something on sale in Safeway. No Stray carts roaming the parking lot to take out a door either.

We stopped in here for a few things after eating at IHOP. This Safeway is a lot like the others in the area. The lines are too long, the prices are often a touch higher than other grocery stores, and the produce and meat are a little better than say a King Soopers.
The parking is tight, the store feels cramped, and we had to wait in line. Surprise, surprise.

Convenient location, decent selection, savory soups, and gourmet olives! The only thing that could make this place better is lower prices!

You know those times when you are kind-​of pressed for time and need to stop and pick up something really quick (maybe an item or two) thinking you will be in and out of a store in no more than a minutes time?
Yeah, well don’t come to this Safeway! Not only do they not have self-​checkouts, but I swear every time I have been in they have one (maybe two) cashiers open!
The layout of the store is also really strange. My last trip, I needed to pick up a greeting card on my way to a party and the time from entering to exit for this one item was way over 20 minutes! (and just in case you’re thinking it, I was fast to pick out a card.)

This is hands down the worst grocery store I have been to. The fact that I work across the street makes this travesty of a store a necessary evil. Some lowlights:
–Quality of Products: Expired food stocked repeatedly. This includes frozen meals, (often expired by several months), and the pre-​made sandwiches that are stocked in the deli area. I usually go here to grab something for lunch, so that eliminates two sections right there. Oh, double check your dairy items too. No one wants mud butt right before the commute home. I bought an expired yogurt and didn’t realize it until I was back at the office.
–Rude staff. When I point out the expired items, they act like it is a huge inconvenience for them. If someone eats one of those items and gets sick, I’m pretty sure the ensuing lawsuit would be a larger inconvenience. At least FAKE like you care. Checkers will openly complain to each other about working while there are people in line. **There is one awesome guy who works in the deli making sandwiches. Unfortunately the other workers appear to be feasting on his life energy as the days go on. Some sort of twisted Safeway-​vampire ish.
–Checkout Times: Kinda relates to the above but also due to the fact the store seems understaffed in general. There are no self checkouts so even if you just grab one or two things you’re stuck behind the prick who thinks the 10 item limit doesn’t apply to their cart full junk.
–Random instance of sucking: I grind my own coffee so it’s nice when a store has a mill for customers to use, (which this store does). However, for 3 plus weeks there were no bags to use for coffee. I asked several times if someone could check on this, but apparently it was «someone else’s problem.» Nice. Apparently it was feeding time and no employees could be bothered to check. **I only grind my own coffee b/​c I use a French press, I promise I’m not a pretentious hipster.**
Bottom Line: Avoid this place unless it is absolutely necessary. Even then, there are two King Soopers close by on Colorado that are infinitely better.

#606 I don’t know what it is about this place, but it makes me sad each time I visit. I’ve only been here twice, but I’m already sure that I won’t like to return. The lights are dim and, despite the large number of selections available for each product, I never feel like I can find what I am looking for on my list. The employees also skew young and have difficulty answering basic questions about product location. If I need to pick up something at the last minute, I’ll force myself to overlook these inadequacies, but I’m going to do my best not to subject myself to the experience of this particular Safeway. Harsh, but there are so many other grocery stores around that it would be silly for me to do so.

Definitely not my favorite Safeway, and I’ll only stop in if I’m doing errands in the area and need a thing or two.
For some reason, this store just feels «behind the times». For one thing, there are no self check outs. That seems trivial, but you don’t realize how much you use them until you visit a store that doesn’t have them. When it comes to actual check stands, there really aren’t that many, and they always seem to be short staffed.
The layout is really funky, and not really clear. You could spend a lot of time just wandering in here.
I will give them this-​their staff is nice. They’re conversational and efficient.
But that’s about it. This store feels oddly archaic. Don’t make it your first choice in shopping. Instead, check out the King Soopers a little further south on Colorado.

Out of pure laziness and convince, we wind up here often. The staff knows us, and they are very nice people. The selection here though is not that great. The produce seems to go bad quickly. There’s not much going on as far as organic. The deli is pretty small, and there’s hardly any prepared foods to grab for a quick dinner at home. We mostly stock up on snacky type items here, some frozen things, and soda.

This place is pretty nice on the inside, but everything about this store just says crap. There are two kings soopers with in a mile of the place which I would highly recommend.

Do not come here for all your food shopping. Come here for the bare essentials. It’s close to my work so I find myself stopping in at least once or twice a week. The milk is cheap and I usually buy my frozen dinners for lunch all week and a couple bags of Goldfish (my addiction). The produce is so delicious and fresh. They have a nice selection of hot ready foods as well. If I could afford to do all my shopping here, I would!
The cashiers are also super friendly and know me by name now!

The checkout lines are often understaffed and though I lived close and walked there I have put my stuff back several times instead of waiting through a line 8 people deep. Their ‘sales’ are also poor compared with King Soopers and Albertsons.
