- GCGnome Co-llasJan 5, 20261.0From start to end oof this store was a mess juices in fridge were all damaged and sticky, the chicken section definitely questionable was a stinking like chitlins. Product was strewn about aisles. Self checkout is crammed tight with overlords of security and employees simply refusing to assist and even witnessing a customer needing help but only talked to them like they were a idiot. It felt like no Safeway I've ever been in pretty embarrassing it's part of the same franchise I shop at around the entire west coast. Should really really have some sort of health inspection it can't be up to code. Seemed like a simulation type situation it was that bad.
- GPGiselle PerezJan 1, 20265.0Fabulous helpful employees!! One if the best stores to ahop!!
- MLMolly LoughranDec 23, 20251.0This store has a no gift card sales after 11pm policy. However, the checker was not aware of the policy and proceeded to process my transaction. I was charged for my gift cards but I was told I need to return to the store in the morning to activate and store staff will have to call a hotline. I was told a refund wasn't possible. There was no signage, and inadequately trained staff that charged my credit card but I had to leave the store without the goods I paid for. All this, two days before Christmas when I definitely don't have the time to come into the store and deal with a long customer service transaction. I'm also very worried that the gift cards will not be adequately activated before I give them as gifts. This is unacceptable and I do not appreciate that I will be losing time due to their mistake.
- MSMatthew SDec 16, 20255.0Busy store! But clean and friendly staff. Nice to have a proper grocery store in this area.
- RCRicardo ClarosNov 30, 20254.0Aisles are clean and well stocked. They have both regular and organic produce. Some labels with prices are not well placed, specially those that are on special. On several items in the refrigerated section the buy 2 get one free was folded in such a way as to be facing away from consumers. Least favorite part is that all the personal care items like toothpaste and hand creams are locked and you have to wait for it to be removed from the cabinet. It is then handed to the customer (not taken to the cashier). I get that this might deter theft, but for the most part it just feels like an inconvenience.
