Safeway
Reviews
people are so whiny in their reviews of this place. it is a very big store with a huge selection of most goods. produce wasn't very impressive in quality but was impressive in variety. fresh meat section was so so. wine and other packaged foods were very expansive. bakery and deli were well stocked with much variety.quality seemed good. friendly staff.
Friendly service, CLEAN, well stocked! I think it was recently updated as well. Large wine selection and even a glassed in top shelf wine room. Plus, they have a Starbucks inside. :)
This place sucks. There is absolutely no consistency to their product organization (cheese is in several locations). I went looking for croutons one time, wasnt able to find any. The next time I was there, I found them, but they were in the vegetable section, 10 feet above floor. The only reason I goto this store is because of its location and when I need milk. Otherwise, I drive a few miles out of the way to goto Costco and Wegmans. Why the safeway corporation makes the cashiers say your last name when you pay never ceases to amaze me. Nobody cares . In fact, it looks tacky and cheap.
The worst management. Parking is horrible. Incorrect pricing of sale items. The management is not friendly nor are they helpful. If it was just one occasion, I could overlook, but almost every time I had to deal with management, they make eye contact and then walk the other way. Getting in an out and finding parking is difficult. Who designed that layout? This is a consistent problem. At least 80% of the time, items would ring higher than the sale price. I would always have to drive back, show it to the manager who would look over the receipt and then reimburse me. Once I was over charged by $20.00. Like I said, this happened consistently. Also, sometimes I would bring in coupons. If the coupon did not scan (although I sometimes would hear the beep), they would take it and put it in their drawer anyway. Looking at my receipt the coupon deduction would not be there. I would get management again they would make the correction but made it a difficult and embarrassing process. For example, I had $5 in coupons that did not scan, so they made me wait until they checked out all the remaining people at the register before coming back and helping me. Then we had to go through the coupon box and examine each coupon and then compare it to the receipt and finally 30 minutes later I had my 5 bucks and was out the door. In one case a manager could not figure out why my .75 coupon which was suppose to double only doubled to .50. The price of the item was 2.00 so its not like it was a negative. He just scratch his head and said it must be a programming error and...well its only 25 cents...do you really want me to reimburse you for 25 cents? I left and have never been back since. I think over charging is a common practice in stores and they pay back the ones who catch it and rip off the others who don't check their receipt.
Been here a few times to pickup something on the go. Parking is a main negative factor at this location! Also the checkout process generally takes forever - I invariably see folks with shopping carts bulging to the seams standing in line at the under 10 items lane! Why cant the folks working here direct such shoppers to the correct lane politely? Or is it that the employees themselves dont care? What should be a quick dash ends up being 30 seconds to shop and 10 minutes to pay trip for me!
