    They denied me services and declined my ID. I’ve never had any issues with my ID. The manager told the cashier that she’d get in trouble if she accepted my ID. Really unacceptable the manager doesn’t know the types of IDs accepted in the US. It’s a valid form of ID according to the government website and I’ve never had any issues with this. I don’t appreciate the manager insinuating my ID was fake and saying “of course you’d say it’s real”. It IS real and I showed him the government website with that form of ID. He still kept saying it was fake. Really unacceptable.

    So it would be 1 star, but for the sushi chef. He deserves more respect. He makes good sushi. How many people know this? 5 stars for him. This place is pretty trashy. They had to remove all outdoor seating because of all the crazies. They also allow people to stand outside the doors and solicit customers. all this would be excusable as typical to locale, but there are NEVER any handbaskets, even when the store is not busy. Considering how expensive Safeway is here, buy more hand baskets!! Employees told me that it is because thieves take their stolen food out along with the basket. So basically, Safeway can't supply its customers handbaskets because they let their customers steal. Which explains the people who come from afar to this store. It's difficult to find employees on the store to ask questions. Everything that is inedible is locked up. More nails in the coffin for "brick & mortar", as Amazon waits silently on the sidelines. There is only ever ONE register open. Safeway does not want to hire people. I know that the constant theft is a societal and policy issue. California lawmakers decided to legalize stealing, which probably expains the higher prices that we pay. And all the good CA citizens can pat themeselves on the back for destroying trust and societal norms. Anyway, love the African-American man who monitors the self-checkout. He does provide friendly and good customer service. The employees are probably doing their best under circumstances.
