  Sandpoint Safeway has absolutely the worst produce I’ve ever seen in a grocery store. The lettuce (Romaine, Green Leaf, organic, non-organic, etc.) is so wilted it’s almost ready to fall from the racks! No exaggeration! Peppers are shriveled. This has become the norm. One star is being generous.

  We ordered a charcuterie platter with the customer service desk on Nov. 6 to pick up on Nov. 7th at 11:00am. When we arrived, no one could find the order or the platter. After perhaps 45 minutes with the help of the fellow at the customer service desk, the platter was found. The “meats” were mostly (75%?) sausages that were tough and were not good. The few pieces of prosciutto were tough to chew. Lots of Crackers to fill the tray, but not even crisp. This was to be served to guests that evening and it was very disappointing, especially for $79.99. Any thoughts?

  I was pleasantly surprised to see Safeway offering an Asian food hot bar. The dishes looked fresh and tasty! However, the checkout experience could be improved. There were only four cashiers and a long line of customers waiting, which made the process slower than expected. Overall, great food options but hope to see faster service next time.

  The pharmacy is the best pharmacy in Oakland and that I have been to in a long time 3 different retailers were so bad. I was so pleasantly surprised to go to a good pharmacy at Safeway. From the moment I called the guy helped me in a kind way he even made calls to transfer my meds from a different retailer then he called me back to insure that he was working on it and he answered all of my questions and filled my RX in a good timely matter. When I went in to pick up my Rx the lady at the counter with blonde hair was so friendly and helpful and she really cared about me. The pharmacy looked so clean and organized. I haven’t been this happy in a long time. They are really doing an excellent job. I wish I could give more stars. Thank you Safeway pharmacy.

  This grocery store has 10+ regular checkout lines as well as a self checkout center. Despite this, self checkout is NEVER open, and there are never more than 2 regular checkout lines available. In the 2 years I have been going to this grocery store, the checkout line has gone at least halfway down the aisles EVERY SINGLE TIME! This is clearly not an issue with being short staffed, as there are constantly multiple employees standing around doing nothing. Additionally, rather than have the employees who are doing nothing contribute to helping the checkout line, they instead have them stand at the end of the line halfway down the isle simply to tell you that the line is now closed- now one fewer lines available. If this store could open its self checkout center, or have its employees actually do their jobs, this problem could easily be solved. In the time it takes to wait in line to checkout, one could easily just drive to a different Safeway, shop, checkout, and drive home. Note to management and corporate- If you cannot manage a grocery store, then you should not be in charge or managing a grocery store.
