Safeway Fuel Station

I’ve had no issues with the gas my complaint and the reason they’re only getting 2 stars is the service. I rarely use the window usually I just get my gas and go but today my wife was getting gas and wanted a soda and to cash in her scratch tickets. The clerk behind the window (for lack of a better word) was so unprofessional and impolite. I work in the customer service industry and have actually worked for Safeway so I know what’s expected of their employees regarding customer service. I was really disappointed so much so I’m writing this review. I just needed to get it off my chest and let people know that customer service is important no matter where you are at if you are a paying customer you deserve respect a simple thank you from this clerk would’ve sufficed.

This is one of my «go to» fuel stations because it is a good balance between price (with the discount from the Safeway club card and paying with a debit card) and how busy it is. Costco (nearby) may be a few cents per gallon cheaper, but there is always at least a 10 minute wait there. This fuel station is rarely so busy that I would have to wait. Be sure to pay with cash or a debit card to save 10 cents per gallon!

Good prices and convenient hours, but only about 9 or 10 pumps which can create congestion at certain times. The gas prices are usually cheaper than all the gas stations in the immediate area, and sometimes they’re even cheaper than the AAFES fuel stations on Joint Base Lewis McChord. There used to be a $.03 per gallon fuel discount for Safeway Club Card holders, but that was discontinued last year. They still consistently offer lower prices, and are very comparable to the Fred Meyer fuel station on Sleater-​Kinney Rd. The Safeway fuel station has a convenience store/​booth which sells lottery tickets and a few scratch tickets, but they don’t cash any winning tickets; you have to go inside the Safeway store to do that.

low prices — however not so sure about night attendant, was smoking far to close to the building for my comfort.

All the Safeway fuel stations on Martin Way are consistently the lowest in price for gas (I don’t know how much Costco is since I don’t have a membership) Plus if you have a Safeway card you get an extra 3 cents off/​gal, which I think everyone needs in this economy. I don’t know why there are so many Shell gas stations on Martin since they are usually 20 cent higher since they have that Nitrogen additive or whatever that allegedly helps your car. Anyway, I like this Safeway gas station because it’s separate from the store in a completely different parking lot which is good since the regular parking lot is h*ll to get around/​through/​out of. I don’t know what is going to built in that fenced in area across from the fuel station but I hope it improves the traffic on Martin and Galaxy Dr with more entrances and exits to reduce potential for back ups… but back to the fuel station. It’s quaint, I can get in and get out, the gas attendants are usually pretty nice and always are out cleaning and I never have to wait to get to the pump. I drive all the way from Carpenter past several other stations to get Safeway gas.

I’ve never had a problem with their gasoline, whether I’m filling my Dodge Charger or Harley-​Davidson, and it’s always affordable. I save .10 to .15 per gallon on average before any discounts (which all Safeway Club members receive). With my grocery purchases discount added I save upwards of .15 to .25 per gallon, which is the cheapest price around; even cheaper than gas sold by AAFES up at Joint Base Lewis-​McChord.
