    The store is impressive but when you spend $300 and no one sacks your groceries, the culture is not as impressive. Add to that, one left our lane after sacking a one-bag order. Another passed by us to go to another lane. Customer satisfaction is apparently not a priority. Neither are sales...

    They pretend the western union is out of order when the story is busy and they don’t want to put someone working there. They even told me if it’s urgent I can ask one of the cashiers to do it, so I asked her and she rudely said, “it’s out of order, there’s a sign that says that.” Even though it’s not true.

    I went to Safeway after stopping at Trader Joe’s to pick up a soda. I needed a bag to carry it, so I looked at the reusable bags at checkout to see if the soda would fit. While I was checking the fit, the manager sent a security guard to harassed me and accused me of stealing the bags. I hadn’t even leave the front checkout area, let alone left the store. I wasn’t stealing—I was just checking the bags. They even looked in my Trader Joe’s bag and acted like I was trying to sneak items. The manager should be worried about the bathroom, and the restrooms are gross. This Safeway continually be a problems—just last month I went in late after work 9th and a staff member shouted at me to switch lines because he was going to lunch, I jump, I was shocked and the cashier laughed and was go to lunch. I had to move even though my items were already on the belt.”
