Safeway

Very clean and well stocked store.
Huge, great selection, plenty of easy parking and fair prices.
Staff was nice, we found everything we needed, good grocery store for the area.

I wasn’t planning on stopping by at this Safeway, but my husband requested for 3 things.
Most of the regular check outs lanes were long and busy so I opted out for self check out. When I got to the self checkout, I didn’t see any line forming so I made my own. I waited what seem like 10 mins when this older Safeway employee came along telling me, «Ma’am, you have to stand here so people can walk through,» and I wasn’t even in the way of foot traffic or anything. Then, I saw 2 customers standing behind me who formed a line behind this loud employee. Anyways, the customer in front of me checked out, which clearly was MY turn however the loud employee treating me like a child said, «Ma’am, you must get back in line and form the line here behind me.» Feeling angry + ignoring the loud employee, I decided to skip self check out lane for one of the regular check out lanes however I got stuck in a line with another mother with her 2 small children who wanted to make a purchase of 2 Capri sun juice boxes however with her husband’s Safeway card, which she didn’t have with her. The checkout lady being retarded told the customer, «Ma’am, your husband’s Safeway card must be present in order to use his number.» The customer could have just entered her husband’s phone number manually into the machine too. Both being retards made our line even longer for 15 items or less. Ridiculous. Then, this other store employee asked the guy behind me IF he wanted to come over to the next check out stand. And, I should have been asked first before the guy.
I HATE this Safeway location. And, why did I have to stand back in line when I was there first via self check out?
I will NEVER step foot at this Safeway location!

This is a worst Safeway I been ever no one to help.
There customer service is zero. My wife was in there buying Turkey and a big guy been very loud making a racist comment to here face not no one from Safeway came and remove the guy from property. Even the worker behind the meet area just looking and not even go to the manager and tell to remove this guy from property. Shame on you when you see a man hearsing women with the racist comment and all Safeway worker watch.

I have a love/​hate relationship with this Safeway.
The thing I love most is that it’s really close to where I live, so it’s convenient. They tend to have what I need, but at the same time, they also fall quite flat on delivering the things I expect. Additionally, their prices are actually not that great sometimes. You could end up spending just as much here compared to Whole Foods.
I do like that they are open 24×7, but I only go here when it’s convenient. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place during lunch or dinner time. The lines are incredibly long and they don’t ever seem to have enough checkers.

Review for Pharmacy only. I’ve been getting prescriptions sent here for years and never had problems until recently. About two months ago I picked up a prescription and the guy (I think he’s an intern) who did the consult with me told me to call the doctor before taking it because it should not be prescribed to pregnant women… I’m not pregnant. I was also picking up my birth control refill so I don’t know where in the world he got that idea. I’m not the skinniest but I don’t look pregnant. I didn’t think too much of it but every other time I’ve picked up a prescription he tries to explain things to me but doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Today I dropped off a prescription and he said it would be 20 minutes. In the next sentence he told me its in stock but he wouldn’t have it until 2, so I came back later. He took my phone number and said he’d call if something came up but there was no call so I came to pick up. When I got there he said they didn’t have any of my medication and I’d have to come back on Monday. I don’t live here during the week and I can’t come back but he said I have no choice and couldn’t transfer my prescription. Then the actual pharmacist showed up and gave me a bottle of the pills that I was just told were not in stock and to have another Safeway fill my prescription. The intern had charged me for medication I didn’t get, and the pharmacist was getting very annoyed and the intern just sounded clueless. I got a few dollars back but I’m going to another Safeway from now on.

One of the cleaner Safeways that I’ve been to. Just comparing to San Francisco, it is less crowded, cleaner, and fully stocked. I’m lucky to be living so close to the grocery store. Can’t really say anything else, everyone’s been to a Safeway before and their selection is the same as every other store.

24 hour is a big Plus.
But with the Wholefoods nearby they have competition.
They seem to be out of Milk every sunday night. (esp Clover Organic)

Super clean and organized. The employees actually seemed happy to be working here.
What a nice Safeway!

Truly horrible service. Officious lady named Monica kind of in charge. When I pointed out that I didn’t get the special bonus item I qualified for, she first challenged me, then when she went and confirmed for herself, she made a very brief show of looking for it, then said «it says while supplies last, and we’re out.»
Never mind the tag says «thru December 31^st», never mind that she could have offered to refund the additional items I bought to get the bonus, never mind a raincheck.
Seriously horrible customer service. She should not be in charge of a customer service function. I have been a regular customer of this store. I will now be going out of my way to avoid it. Bummer, because the location is great.

Seems like in order for stores to be more competitive they don’t have any human checkers any more. In line now for 15 minutes… One man left yelling he was getting out of the line from hell. Oh God forgive me… The lady has coupons and gift cards and the checker has no idea what to do…
Red sangria wine here is $ 8.74 a bottle here. At whole foods the same bottle is $ 12.

At the store tonight — what a horrible experience. One counter open at 11pm and 20 customers in line!!! Bravo.
And then they decide this is the perfect time to update the computers. Oh, and why inform the customers — lets surprise them wen they reach the counter!

This isn’t our regular Safeway, we end up here only once every few months when we need a few odd items and we’re already in the mall.
The good: it’s kept clean and organized.
The meh: The staff are really inconsistent. I’ve found helpful, and those who literally can’t spare the time to help («You’ll have to ask someone else»).
The bad: There isn’t enough space between the check stands and the isles making things cramped. It’s especially bad at the self checkout where the line either has to block people trying to cross or has to be hidden down an isle where people try to cut in because they don’t see the six people already waiting. The coffee complex/​thing/​pod is squished right up front as well making it feel even more cramped.

this is one of the nicer Safeways I’ve seen. very clean and bright, wide aisles. it also has the biggest and nicest wine selection I’ve seen in a Safeway, actually the nicest in any chain grocery store I’ve been in. has a nice bakery and Starbucks inside too.

This Safeway bakery sets a high bar and overwhelmingly exceeds it! My last minute order for a two-​tier Ariel cake was the most beautiful, tasty and well made cake I’ve purchased. Other than a custom cake I ordered from a baker in Oakland, this would be the next best.
Called on Tuesday afternoon to ask if a special order cake could be made by Wednesday. Had to go in to talk with Karen, the head baker, about what I wanted. I wasnt sure how custom they could get because after all it’s a grocery store. Upon walking up and seeing the variety of cakes, all done up in their own colorful way I knew I had come to the right place.
Karen and I chatted about options and quickly came to an agreement for the two-​tier Ariel Sweet 16 birthday cake. I felt confident that it would be all she pumped it up to be. Rest assured I pick it up, along with a nice set of red velvet cupcakes I also ordered. I was thoroughly impressed with her work.
I left with everything I wanted and a huge smile on my face knowing it would be a huge surprise. The BIG reveal when I got home was all that I hoped it would be. The birthday girl was ecstatic! She immediately started snapping photos to post on Instagram. Lol
I must also mention this cake did not break the bank. At less than $ 40 it was a super awesome buy.
Everyone who celebrated with us was highly complimentary of the cake, both for it’s work of art, and for its freshness and tastiness. I love the non-​dairy frosting. It’s light, fluffy and not too sweet. BTW bottom tier was white cake with fresh strawberries and the top was chocolate with custard. I can’t say thank you enough Karen and staff for delivering great service and an tremendous cake!
Bravo to a job well done :-)

Great ice cream treats but they said they were on sale but didn’t ring up on sale at the self check out screen .Had to wait for customer service to come help fix the problem. Store needs to make sure everything is updated so customers don’t have wait for problems like this.

This review is for the Pharmacy only…
The technicians who work here seem to be hired only if they can be rude and inefficient. Especially rude are the lady called Ashley and another Indian lady. They cut you off mid sentence, don’t ever give a straight answer and seem to hate their jobs. And I am not a nagging and annoying customer either. I usually get along very well with store employees. It is incredible to me that they even have jobs with that attitude of theirs. This is not a one time experience either. Again and again we face the same shabby treatment from these two women. I have been going here for years and it used to be good but I will be changing to a different pharmacy next time.

I was under the impression I had already reviewed this Safeway, but apparently not. This is a pretty classy Safeway (in comparison to the ones I’ve been to, anyway), it’s located right off 580 for all your grocery needs. This one is kind of out of the way for me, but when you’re on your way to the city and need to stock up on picnic supplies, this is where I go.
Super clean, very quick check-​outs, and a convenient little Starbucks to jump-​start the day. Like any Safeway, they have their select sales going on.
This is also near Emerald Glen Park, so my friends and I always come here for donuts after frolicking around in the park for exercise… Calories burned, only to be reintroduced into the body in a sweet, sugary, circular form. The donuts are bliss, and are cheap. I regret nothing.

I think of Safeway as a convenience store… not a real grocery store.
They just don’t have the fresh meat, fish, produce and artisan baked goods I am looking for.
So I come here for odds and ends… when I am getting my coffee at Peet’s,

I’m rating this Safeway compared to others.
Clean & Bright
Good selection of products
Helpful & friendly staff
Hot chicks galore from singles to MILF’s
Parking lot sucks
4 stars…3 for the scenery.

This Safeway is in a good location – too good, in fact. It’s difficult to find a parking place.
My buddy and I were headed to San Fran and were in need of soda or juice and thankfully, this store was here. I just happened to go to an aisle where I could see UCC Green Tea, which is something I normally buy at Japanese stores.
They had a number of other selections, such as Bolthouse Multi-​V Goodness but they were scattered quite a bit for our purposes of the moment.
When we got to the cash registers, things were moving well, and we were treated well by a friendly employee.
