- DSDavid Salazar1 day ago1.0Went to get my thanksgiving shopping done to only be harassed by Pam at self checkout who followed me out of store arguing that I didn't pay for my cokes. She profiles people and harasses them while leaving other people alone. Literally left her station to follow me out of store where others could be stealing while she was harassing me. Was super embarrassing as I was with both my young children and even when we got in car they were asking why did the women not think we paid for our food when we had the receipt and she was literally watching you ring up everything over your back. Decided to go back and verify her name and take a picture of her for report where she blocked her name with a water bottle and told me go ahead and file a code. Very unprofessional and needs to find a new career. Will be filing report to higher ups and letting them know that their employees harrass and profile customers.
- JSJP Sharma2 days ago5.0This is my neighborhood Safeway. Staff are dope, hot food is always fresh and deals are amazing! 10/10!
- MRMusa Rana6 days ago5.0I have been one of those pesky late comers multiple times now always jogging in 5-10 minutes before closing for those 1-2 things I need last minute and they still always greeted me with a smile and were never rude. Props to the employees!
- VGVee GlessnerNov 16, 20255.0Definitely one of the best grocery stores in San Jose to get a pickup order. Items are rarely out of stock and the curbside service is FAST and friendly.
- MRM F Goulart Sebastian RochaOct 14, 20252.0All most of my pickup orders were missing or something other than what I ordered was inserted with no FYI why I was getting something replaced. On the 1st short of groceries I went back to pickup what was not brought out on the pickup time, now it's the 2nd time this has happened, asked for a credited for the items left behind on the pickup time. I'm waiting for my credit this happened at 11 am & it's now 3:58 and haven't seen any refunds to the items not provided today, or any messages. Usually I have a message or something right away but not today, silence. I want to say disappointed, but now I'm angry. Butter, eggs, milk( original order ask for 2, but it was substituted instead of receiving 2 on the substitution only got 1), different Halloween candy, not what I ordered, did not get notification if I wanted or not. Waiting on my total refund amount info.
