Safeway

The only groceries shop ask my last 4 digit of my credit card no every time I shopped there last 3 months and last one I was asked to see my id ($ 65 shopping).must be a D. Trump effect… I won’t go there anymore. TJ is the place…

Pros of this place:
Open 24 hours
Large parking lot
Carries most groceries needed
Has self checkout
Cons:
The staff is often mediocre if not worse. I’ve only come across one or two enthusiastic/​above average workers in the past ~20 years. For example, today I came across an inattentive employee. Instead of going to the self checkout lines, I went to the normal lanes. The worker, Jamal, failed to acknowledge me and instead chatted away with his coworker. I don’t have very high expectations from employees at stores and a simple «hi/​bye» would have sufficed. Even when the cashiers at Safeway are silent, it usually doesn’t bother me. However, in this situation I thought it was unprofessional of Jamal to be chatting about non-​work related things while ringing up a customer.

typical Safeway but more in the burbs, near my best buddy’s place.
Fruits/​veggies on the left, and most importantly, black cherry juice — important when eating too much red meat lol.
Wasn’t too busy at 1:30am so love the 24-​hr action.
Nice feel to it.

Retired Paul was super helpful behind the deli counter, also helped me with questions I had about some meat on the floor. I love Boneless Chicken Breast, w/​out rib meat. Super good deal!

I come in here from time to time on my way in to work in the morning. Their giant parking lot in the Countrywood Shopping Center usually has a spot waiting for me up front so that I can runin and grab last minute items for our office parties: like breakfast foods, condiments, and even an occasional dessert. It’s as easy to navigate as any grocery store, but if you can’t find something, there are usually helpful employees not far away.
This morning I encountered a nice young man in produce and asked about chopped nuts. He showed me several bags of sliced nuts (for salads) and then asked another employee where additional bags of nuts for baking would be. With their help, I found all sorts of delicious toppings for our staff’s good-​morning hot oatmeal-​bar.
Express line was fast and I was walking back to my car in the least amount of time possible, stopping only briefly to fend off the woman who was following me through the parking lot and babbling about her religious literature.

This review is specifically for Mikayla and Elisa in the bakery department. They provided EXCELLENT customer service and ultimately a beautiful cake for my son’s first
birthday. I had specific requests since we were having an «Up» theme to our party and Safeway doesn’t offer that theme as an option in their cake book. So, I requested a sky blue cake with balloons flying away. And I asked that a spot be left open for my own cake topper. Mikayla had a great can-​do attitude and was so helpful. She even rewrote her notes onto a fresh order form and consulted with Elisa. This really showed her attention to detail. Also, Elisa was very attentive when I arrived to pick up the cake a little earlier than scheduled. She decorated our cake beautifully. My guests were raving about our strawberries and whip cream cake. Thank you ladies. You knocked this one out of the park. Brava!

Yay! Finally found a Safeway near my place with self check-​out — makes all the difference in the world, since for some reason the regular lines take forever to get through. I’m more of the shop-​every-​day type of girl, and always get stuck behind a huge basket of groceries when I’m holding nothing besides a pack of chicken and loaf of bread. Finally, a solution for the little guy!
Otherwise, a clean, well-​laid-​out Safeway with decent discounts on clearance meat and random things I need at the last minute. I still save all my produce shopping for Food Maxx (prices are better), but I like having this place so close to home.
I’ll be back!

I swear less and less people are working here. The customer service is seriously lacking. No lanes open, no one around to help. I used to prefer this spot over downtown but now it’s just as bad.

This is the worst Safeway I have ever been to. The store is large and in good condition but it is so understaffed that it is almost unstaffed. The lines are ridiculously long almost anytime of day or night because only a couple of the check stands are ever open. The shoppers are encouraged to use self check out which never runs smoothly. Ever. Customers have to repeatedly wait for a staff member to override issues with the machine. Not all items can even be rung up on the machine. There is no where to put your items if you have more that a few. I feel sorry for the staff of this place. Also, about 30% of the time I buy produce here I get home to realize I have bought rotten garbage. Many expired items are sold on there shelves. I don’t have time to waste going back and returning these items. I just won’t shop here anymore.
