  Great staff. Store is well stocked and clean. The staff works hard to keep as a safe environment to be.

  The worker (a guy) at the self checkout line on April 3rd needs to learn customer service. How he talks to customers is completely unacceptable. His attitude… “It’s initializing that’s why the lights off” he said In a snarky way. Usually I love shopping here but his attitude completely drove me to go somewhere else. I placed everything back I had in my hands and left.

  The two guys in baseball caps that walk around with no cart just one item each that are obviously asset protection followed me the entire time I was in the store, no idea what I did to look so suspicious? They were not subtle at all, even changing directions to stay near me, absolutely insane.

  I come here for the custom-made sandwiches and burritos. I have tried to come here at least once a week for the last year and there is no one ever working the sandwich bar the staff don’t want to help you out. The staff seem really pissed off when you order a burrito. Today I was standing in line and stood there for about 10 minutes until finally a staff said we’re shorthanded and can’t help you. She then walked away to play on her phone. I would say most Safeway’s in Salem are pretty crap and their sandwich shops/burrito area has gone downhill. All the employees are hanging out outside, smoking their vapes. No wonder there’s bad help, they are always on smoke breaks.

  I first off want to say that I live in the area and shop at this store DAILY. I love this store and 99.9999999% of the staff at this store. The ONLY person I am writing this negative review about is a new/returning manager Zack Farm. To be clear, I've worked in the law enforcement field mostly in the prison system. I say this to state that it takes a lot to creep me out. This man gives me bad vibes. He has never made attempt to greet me or introduce himself to me and I am to say the least a regular there. I've watched Zach check out underage girls as I've walked by. I've watched and heard him yell at associates in front of customers. I've heard him tell staff members that they will never be good leaders or respected if they don't work at least one closing shift. I've yet to see him close the store. He stared down my service animal and makes me feel uncomfortable to be around. I've seen lines super backed up yet never jumps on a register, well I mean there was that one pretty girl he opened his lane for. I've seen him walk around and look busy but never seem to do anything. I've observed him only talk to female employees and customers. Male staff who I'm close with have told me that he has made inappropriate comments and jokes about females. Ever since this waste of payroll has been here, I've seen a loss of regular customers, a loss of basic items that were readily available before he arrived and a loss of moral to the overall staff and customers. I'm going to put it bluntly, this "man" is a creep. He is unprofessional, he is a waste of payroll and makes both males and females uncomfortable. In my job I've delt with the worst of the worst without fear. I don't want this staff member within 20 ft of my wife, son or dog. Penny, Carlos, Lee and Emma John and all the others are all absolutely amazing! they are the reason I come back. I currently work at Fred Meyer as their armed security, and I chose to shop at Safeway because of them. I do not shop at that Safeway or any other for the great price, great selection or any other reason. I shop at Safeway mostly for convivence since I live across the street and for the great staff at that store. Zack Farm needs to be fired for the good of the store, the company and in my view public safety. I plan to make a phone call to corporate since I'm not sure how much weight this will carry. I'd love to hear back from Safeway but won't hold my breath.
