First time shopping there in a long time. It is always dark and the employee so moody. There were good deals with your Safeway card.

My favorite Safeway because they always have what I usually wants to buy. The vegetables and fruits displays are well organized.

Terribly long lines, everything is over priced, and they make you feel like a criminal when you walk in with all the layers of security and cages that get in the way of buying things. Only go here if you're desperate.
Y'all just need 1 more cashier for the later shift (making the manager do it doesn't count, they've got other work to do) to prevent 20+ minute wait times to checkout.

I had a great experience until I left. I accidentally went the wrong way to exit and sounded the alarm, and immediately got berated by one of the workers there. He yelled at me so badly it caused a scene and everyone was looking. I felt so embarrassed. I apologized immediately, as it was clearly a mistake, this isn’t a Safeway I normally go to so I wasn’t familiar where the exits were. He kept yelling at me. It truly was not necessary how much he yelled at me. He could’ve calmly told me that it wasn’t an exit, but he decided to ruin my day and embarrass me. I definitely won’t be coming back to that store since clearly the workers yell at people. That employee needs to learn how to talk to people, he clearly was having a bad day and decided to take it out on me.
