    I just purchased a 40 pack of chicken nuggets. Honestly, I was not expecting a culinary masterpiece here but these were the oldest, and driest ever. They were not edible and should not have been served.

    Safeway has really gone downhill. Nobody knows where anything is...or even what they had. I was told to go to Customer Service, however when I got there, there were two people in line. I waited a couple minutes with nobody at the counter and asked the other two if someone was even working at the counter and was told they hadn't seen anyone however it shouldn't be too long since someone paged them a little over 5 minutes ago. When I went to self checkout since I had no liquor there's a new sign - 15 items only. I probably had 30+ items but since there were six open terminals I did mine anyway.

    Safeway: basic grocery store with food, sundries and seasonal merchandise. Large store with a large produce department

    I had a drive up order that somehow didn’t get put in the cooler and therefore spoiled. I did receive a code for it though and when I came to pick it up, it couldn’t be found. Jerome was the name of the employee who helped me. He was very kind, and in an attempt to fix everything he purchased my items for me himself. I then went into the store and spoke with the manager to make sure he didn’t have to pay for my items. But the fact that he was willing to do so was amazing! I highly recommend Jerome and the Safeway on 41st Ave.
