  My problem is less with this Safeway specifically, although this particular experience was the biggest pain I've had at a grocery store in a long time. Whoops, forgot a cart. Better go back... oh, i'm being told i can't due to security. Have to go around. Okay... Every cart option felt like it had square wheels. Okay... I'd like some raspberries. Okay, for the sale price you have to download an app. Okay... No, I don't want notifications from Safeway. No, I don't want to share my location. I just want these raspberries for $4 instead of $10. Whoops, accidentally scanned something else with my camera. How do I undo that? Crap. Self checkout. Do you want to fight cancer today? Do you want to round up today? Do you want this automaton female robot voice to loudly announce every single purchase and price savings? Did you clip the deals on the app? Did you enter your phone number? Bring up the QR code on your phone and scan that to get this other deal. Oh, it's not the same phone number? Oh, well you're going to have to ring everything thing up again. Please wait while I get assistance. Yes, it's going to scream every single price and savings at you all over again. If you want, you can change your phone number in the app so next time when you clip the digital deal the member price will sync with your blood type and the algorithm will optimize your experience using AI and.... STOP! JUST STOP, PLEASE! This isn't progress and it isn't convenient. It's a horrible, frustrating user experience where you are coerced and shaken down for your Metadata, phone number, email, location, and you feel as though you are getting robbed if you don't participate. I don't want to be in a club or download apps. I want my damn groceries. I'd prefer a cart that is quiet and a cashier that says hello how are you, then takes my money and I leave. Sorry, Auburn Safeway. You've gone too far. The people were very helpful and friendly, but this was not the experience or the future I want. It's akin to being asked to tip everywhere I go. Enough is enough.

  Terrible parking and always over crowded. I hate going to this Safeway. Its my only option at times. I would never choose to go here unless i am desperate and in this area. Staff are not friendly and the people are extremely rude. It is in an overcrowded area that became way to populated way to fast due to lack of government stopping a huge rate of building homes in this area! Just like Puyallup they let the desire of money rule their descions and ruined a great area.

  Do not get fried chicken from the deli, they never change their fryer oil which makes the chicken taste like burnt rubber and have a terrible texture. We got a chicken tender and fried chicken deal for Cheep chicken Monday and it was the worst chicken we've had from a Safeway ever! Go to the one on A street if you want chicken fried in fresh oil and not something that has been reused a thousand times

  I have always had a good experience here EXEPT for today. Angela was very rude, huffing and puffing as she scanned the items we were purchasing for a funeral. Then the lady behind me asked her for help and Angela got very upset and loud with the lady. She could have politely asked her to wait a minute but instead she raised her voice at this poor elderly lady who didn’t speak good English. I sure hope Angela has a better day tomorrow and learns to be polite or find a job she enjoys.

  Stood in the deli Dept for 15 minutes and got no help despite being the only customer there for the first 10 minutes! no acknowledgement, no hello, we will be with you in a moment no nothing. One lady was making sushi rolls right at the counter where you check out at and everytime i looked at her she put her head down. The other lady was slicing deli meat over on the other side, so i walked over there and kind of waved my hand like hey! she said you need help i said yes please. went back over by the lady rolling sushi, still no one came i left, that was ridiculous, im probably never going back again just because i dont see it being any different, it was weird.
