Safeway Food & Drug

Usually I have a good experience with the cashiers there but my recent visit was awful. When I approached the check stand, the cashier didn’t even greet me. He was too preoccupied with the gossip from 3 other employees. Mind you, they were talking smack about another employee while my food was being thrown around. I gave the cashier a look to see if he got the hint but he kept talking to his coworkers. I asked him a couple of questions but wasn’t paying attention, I had to repeat myself. Several times I have noticed the curtesy clerks are rude and even burp out loud without excusing themselves. I don’t know about this place anymore.

The Hispanic lady who works in the self checkout a lot of time is very rude and should not be in customer service. I have complained to management several times and they always say they will talk to her because they are union. I told them to have her bring carts in or work in the back away from people.

Well, they offer gasoline that isn’t as ridiculous as the rest of Madras tends to price it at. Fine selection, ok pricing, luke-​warm service. It’s a frequent stop through Madras for us.

Excellent selection of product and Safeway is now bringing in local products from the Northwest!

this store really just not good.
oooo it has a starbucks who care’s. it’s probably the only clean part of the store.
The veggie/​Fruit section is sad. Nothing is fresh it all seems like junk that fell off the back of a truck and they just threw it on the shelf. ½ the shelves are empty.
The meat dept guys… wow where do i start. #1 Saw one of them making out with a girl in his cutting apron. #2 asked a different one where the game hens were he said we only carry them at Christmas… no you only carry them frozen. #3 there was a dog in the store being pet by the meat guys in their aprons. WTF it wasn’t a service dog it was some chick in whore shorts holding a dog in the store.
the store could use a good sweeping. A more diligent management would probably help whip these people into employees that actually gave a damn. I’d give 1 star but the deli lady that was making roasted chickens was super nice and she was the only one.

What’s to say? It’s Safeway. And in Madras it’s the only place to get Starbucks. I should give it 3 stars simply for the people watching opportunities available here.
