Whatever you do, never go back and check the price on something if you've paid and don't have a bag bc you are just buying a few items. A lady will come running after you screaming "Did you pay???", not even apologize for the inconvenience and makes you feel like a thief. It's understandable that they want to prevent shoplifting but the store should be honest and post someone at the door instead to check on receipts of trying to make it into a make an undercover crime bust.

To be honest, I expected more. The organic/non-gmo produce selection leaves much to the imagination. The nearby Giant does a much better job.

We signed up at this Safeway for a family portrait which took place in the break room. These are the reasons we had a negative (and foul smelling, see #6 below) experience: 1.) you pay $30 upfront for three sheets of the same portrait which, in at least our case, was the worse shot of the session. 2.) they take out a big stack (ALREADY PRINTED!) of much more desirable pictures and a CD with digital copies which they say will cost $200 on top of the $30 you've already paid. 3.) if you wanted to get the CD just by itself, they ask for $90. (Of course they don't want customers taking the CD down to Costco and getting exactly the prints you want for a few dollars each) 4.) the salesman met individually with customers behind a black curtain (oddly like the Wizard of Oz) almost whispering so as to prevent other waiting customers from hearing the prices. The situation felt exactly like one of those "hard sell" time share sales meeting. 5.) we waited for a total of three hours, counting both the photo shoot and the day of the pick up. This is despite the fact we had confirmed appointment times on both days. 6.) the photo shoot and pick up/sales meeting were held in the basement of a Safeway, in a shabby break room, where the air smelled exactly like that of a landfill, due to rotting meats and produce in the proximity. We walked away feeling scammed and were appalled by the obvious care they took in engineering the whole deception. A pox on Safeway for subjecting us to this ordeal.

We went to bakery for our 1st birthday cake. I need to real whip cake and non around nuts. She said"you need to order." I said "so we need to order for next Sunday." But she didn't understand. And then about real whip and non around nuts too. My husband called manager but not coming. Just she called to manager and then talking by phone. Anyway really we got bad feeling.

This afternoon will be my final trip to the Kensington Safeway. I've put up with the scarcity of checkers and the frustrations of the self-checkout system for much too long. Today, I waited in line for 20 minutes while a customer with a coupon book held the entire line hostage as she compared her selections to the coupon book she had brought with her; a store employee was deployed to trade items that were not covered by the coupons for those that were. They FINALLY opened up several new lines, but for me it was past the point of no return. It's back to Sniders and Whole Foods for me. Bye-bye Safeway.
