  I went in today to get a prescription refilled and to my surprise it was not even sent in by my doctor yet. The pharmacy lady Rebecca went above and beyond to make it happen and 15 min later I left with my medication in hand. She is such a gift to the people who use the pharmacy at this store, truly the best!

  Rebecca, the pharmacy lead at Safeway in Thornton, is simply wonderful. She is always kind, patient, and genuinely cares about the people she helps - especially me. Every time I’ve interacted with her, she’s gone out of her way to make things easy and answer my questions with a smile. Great customer service like hers is rare these days, and I really appreciate everything she does. Safeway is lucky to have her!

  I’ve been shopping at this Safeway for about eight years, and honestly it’s been great. The employees have always been friendly, the store is clean, and it’s become my go-to location. Then they installed a Pokémon vending machine. As a lifelong Pokémon fan, I was pumped. And before anyone jumps to conclusions, I’m not one of those people who empties the machine and flips everything online. I just want to grab a couple packs after work, experience 12 seconds of childlike happiness, and then immediately pull absolutely nothing worth more than 37 cents. Here’s the problem. There’s a short, brown-haired Safeway employee who seems to have entered into a committed relationship with this vending machine. Every time I come in, he’s standing there tapping away. One night I saw him at the machine, did all my grocery shopping, wandered every aisle known to mankind, checked out, and… he was STILL there tapping. At that point I wasn’t sure if he worked at Safeway or if the vending machine had hired him. I completely understand that Safeway doesn’t control how much Pokémon stock goes into the machine. If it’s sold out, that’s life. I shrug and move on. But employees camping the machine all day is different. These vending machines are time-restricted. If an employee gets first dibs every time the timer resets, the customers who actually shop there don’t really get a chance. It kind of defeats the purpose of putting it in the store for everyone. I’m not asking for some elaborate corporate policy worthy of the United Nations. Maybe just limit employee use to a few attempts per day while they’re working. Customers should probably have the first opportunity, considering… you know… they’re the customers. I just want to buy a couple packs once in a while for myself or my kids without feeling like I’m competing against someone whose full-time job appears to be guarding a Pikachu ATM. I’d happily update this review if that situation changes. The store itself has always been great. I just think the Pokémon machine deserves a little less employee romance and a little more customer access.

  The produce and the meat are great here. They also have a different selection of products here than some of the other stores nearby. One of my favorite places to grocery shop.
