Safeway

Stopped by the Safeway will visiting from California and they must say it was very organized huge with everything I needed and it was clean nice to look at and the food looked fresh. The parking lot was neat clean and easy. There was a Starbucks inside and the bathrooms were clean. Thank you for making my experience worthwhile.

This Safeway is fine, but I think traffic is light, so watch the sellby dates since it appears that the people at Safeway don’t. One nice part of this Safeway is the Chicken Wings bar, and while I do like Chicken Wings, these are about the worst I’ve ever had. They use some type of sticky sauce on most of them, so the «hot wings» instead of being hot, are this sticky mess. Not very appetizing. Just Google «Buffalo wings» and follow that recipe because if you believe this sticky mess is desirable, you are wrong.

Food selection was pretty good though seemed to be out of a bunch of standard items on our list. Store was clean and well lit.
We purchased roughly $ 500 worth of groceries and here’s why they don’t get a higher rating. When I unloaded the mass amount of groceries onto the belt, and was still doing so while they were ringing, the two bag boys just looked at me impatiently to bring to cart down to them, even though it was still full of groceries that hasn’t been rung up yet. I suggested that I would need an additional cart anyways and if they could grab one, that would be great. I got kind of a… seriously…look. Finally one of the boys grabbed another cart. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know you don’t put heavy items in with bread, chips, or bananas… however, when I went to take everything out of its bags… I was shocked. I ended up having to throw two containers of raspberries away as they were put in the bottom of a bag containing two heavy pork loins. They were smooched, opened, and now just jam. A loaf of bread had been bagged between two boxes of crackers… and you can guess it… smooched. Bananas at the bottom of the ice cream, chips in bags with salsa and cans of baked beans. In the end I lost even more money on the food that will not be eaten because of the way it was bagged.
Had I not been so tired from driving from Colorado I probably would have gone back with the smooched goods. But instead, next time, I’ll drive to a different store.

My husband and I came in with my service dog. One of the cashiers, Barbara, came out to start putting the stuff in the shopping bags. She slammed our cart to my service dog. It was so hard Then she said «oh I just hit his paws. We are good». Omg she absolutely knew all along I had the service dog standing next to me. Unbelievable. It seems she doesn’t like the fact I had a service animal with me.”

This was the worse service I have ever gotten from any safeway. Normally I have fantastic service. But not here. I wanted a sandwich so I was standing at the deli and no one was there but one employee who clearly did not work the deli area. This lady walks out and started talking to the guy about some other employees problems. First off I didn’t need to hear about it but I guess I did. Zoyie, (or how ever you spell her name) took her sweet time talking and making his sandwich… I stood there thinking of just grabbing some sushi and leaving, but I wanted a sandwich. I was standing there 7 minutes. Yes I was looking at the clock. Then this other lady Alizabeth walks over says can I help next person. I said yes, and that chick blew me off smiled at someone else and started talking to them. Then after about 10 minutes standing there Zoyie says can I help next person. I said again «YES!!! I was next in line.» Told her what I wanted. Took forever to make my sandwich. Then I told her I wanted artichoke hearts also please. Her comment was «ooh you do know they are extra,» and she said it with an attitude. I said «I know they are extra. It is not a normal item for a sandwich.» I should have just grab some sushi and left. I will never go back to this safeway again for anything. AJ is a mile away and I don’t care about that extra dollar I will spend on a sandwich. I know I will get better customer service there.

Crappy customer service. Short staffed front end & self check out is often not open. CHECK FOOD EXPIRATION DATES!!! This location is notorious for stocking expired food items. When informed, they don’t remove it as we’ve seen the food still there on our next visit. Frozen items have been several MONTHS past the best by date. How gross is that???

I really like this Safeway. It’s huge. Very organized. New and clean. The bakery selection is huge with lots of options. But my favorite thing about this store is their meat section. It’s organized very well. It’s always fresh meat. When ever I cook with it my meals taste really good when I buy the meat from this store. Plus the people that work at the meat section are very helpful with ideas when I want to try to make a new recipe.

I am very impressed with this store! It’s consistently clean and the staff have always been helpful and kind to me. In each department, I am impressed by the selection of products they have to offer. The produce department has always been well stocked for my trips, with only the exception of one occasion (due to a national lime shortage). I appreciate that there is a bank location and a Starbucks location within the store as well, not to mention a gas station with reduced fuel prices for Safeway Card holders. For the most part, the entire store is well lit and the products are almost always well stocked. Overall, I think this store deserves five stars because of the quality it consistently offers it’s customers. It’s no AJ’s, but it’s also more reasonable in price!

This Safeway is actually really nice. The floral section is huge unlike other Safeway locations. I like how they have a red box as well. The self check out is really nice too since a lot of grocery stores do not have that option anymore. Everything is easy to find and the store overall was clean and organized.

Slow checkout lines and inadequate staffing for checkout. They’re also very slow to call for extra checkout help. Really, the line shouldn’t be that long before someone is called to help. They get away with this it seems because there are so few grocery store choices in this area. Location, location, location is as true as ever.

I have been going to this Safeway for about 5 years now. The staff is super friendly and always very accommodating. I hate grocery shopping, but the friendly attitude make for a great experience.

Very solid Safeway location at the Summit. Parking is a breeze, of course the Summit shopping center seems empty compared to everything closer to the 101. There is a Safeway gas station, located right off N. Scottsdale Rd. With Safeway gas rewards, you can save up to $ 1/​gallon. The rewards points start over each month, so plan gas trips accordingly.

This is usually my go to Safeway. I cannot say it is closest to my house because I have 3 Safeways the same distance from my home, 5.6 miles. However, I think I like this one because it is easy to find parking and I already know the layout by heart and can get in and out in 20 minutes.

Very satisfied with this safeway. Always very friendly, helpful staff and I can always find what I am looking for. They also have a gas station out front and since I shop at safeway quite a bit I end up saving 10 cents per gallon when I fill up using the safeway card. I recommend shopping at this one, it’s also right by Pei Wei so I enjoy grabbing a chicken bowl during the same visit :)
