    Great store with a nice staff! My only issue with Safeway is the carts. 🛒 they have two locking wheels and it makes it more difficult to bring them back. This store has a small radius and within two stores the cart locks. I was using it and a cardboard box I found last night to pick up the trash in the lot and accidentally locked the cart without trying.

    This store has really gone down over the past few years. There’s virtually no large shopping carts that work if you are shopping with kids that need to be buckled in- this is after voicing concerns to management 3x and having metal break off carts. I have never had a prescription filled in less than 6 hours. They also stopped accepting fedex packages. Will have to stop using this store.

    Cashier didn't seem to want to be there. Not greeting and not very friendly.
