- GRGarrett RobertsFeb 24, 20265.0Smaller location but perfectly placed. Nice staff and clutch if you need to get something
- MTMarie Taylor-MorrisonJan 14, 20265.0Good local store with plenty of choices. Friendly helpful staff. It can be very cold in the fresh produce aisles, so I’d advise to wear something warming. Even in the summer months. Easy parking.
- LJLeonard JacksonJan 8, 20261.0This is my second attempt at posting this because the business deleted my previous review to hide their misconduct. I used to be a regular customer here, but I was subjected to blatant discrimination and public humiliation by the manager, Edmund, and a female associate. I am a 21-year-old man. I presented my 100% valid, legal ID to purchase alcohol—something I have done at this location many times before. Instead of following store protocol and scanning the ID, Edmund and his staff decided to "judge" me. Because I am a trans man who hasn't started hormones yet, I have a youthful face and no beard. Rather than doing their jobs and using the scanner, they used my appearance as an excuse to mock me. They loudly claimed my ID was "fake" in front of a store full of people. Edmund actually snickered at me while refusing to even scan the barcode. This wasn’t about "checking IDs"—it was a power trip. They saw a trans man who looked young and decided to make a scene instead of following the law. It is pathetic that a manager would rather harass a customer and then try to delete the review than just admit he was wrong. I haven’t been in months because of how unsafe I felt. Warning: This store is not a safe space. If you don't fit their specific "look," expect to be publicly shamed by a manager who doesn't know how to use a scanner.
- AAAuroraJan 6, 20261.0The guys at checkout racism . His name Andrew or something like that . He see me is a asian and he don’t want to check out for me . He move me to another one after scan my ID for alcohol and check out for people behind me . I don't think a large company like Safeway would hire a racist person.
- SJStephen Steward, Jr.Dec 29, 20251.0Avoid the hoagies. Lack of quality control. Sold me a sandwich with two slices of meat and brown lettuce. Lesson learned—I won’t be back!
