- JLJill Langford2 days ago1.0Whoever puts together online orders needs replacing. This was the bagged salad they sent me. Expiration date is Dec 1st.
- MPM PNov 11, 20251.0The parking is atrocious at this Safeway. As Silver Spring redevelops people are using the free underground parking at Safeway to go shopping elsewhere. Like the cafe and coffee shop next door. The last two times I have been there has been no parking in either the surface or underground lots and cars where circling around waiting for someone to leave. Both times I left and went to a competitor. Sorry but I won't go back to this Safeway location until they start towing cars from the lot. There is plenty of free parking at the nearby Giant stores. So that is where I will go.
- CCCraig ColemanOct 30, 20251.0Never more than a single register open. Poor customer service for people who don’t want to scan. Safeway response, response: Thank you for noting my frustration, but I notice you don't give any solution. I assume that means it's one register open from now on. I'll be taking my business to the Giant nearby.
- MLM.E. L.Oct 24, 20251.0SAFEWAY CLEANESS-- Everytime l go to this store to pick up my prescription l see something really dirty, one time somebody either spilled a drink or a kid through up right in the waiting area, outside the pharmacy, it was there for half hour and nobody clean it until l told the lazy manager, a very unfriendly guy. Another time there was a pocket of catsup on thevfloor again outside the pharmacy l step on it and almost fall down. Just 3 days ago, l noticed how dirty the pharmacy window was, and the entrance of the store too...disgusting!!!
- AGA GSep 27, 20251.0I visited this store for something else and wasn’t expecting this kind of experience. Unfortunately, the cashier (Gerryl) ignored me the entire time. He was on his phone and didn’t make any eye contact, even when handing me my receipt. I felt completely dismissed during the interaction. Based on this experience, I don’t think I’ll be returning to this store.
