- JAJessica Allen1 day ago1.0Lifes hard enough and the lazy rude people with positions to work with the public, should find jobs shere they dint have to deal wuth anyone. The woman was ao rude. Refused to help me with the dugital coupon. I had to repeat the question cause i thought perhaps she heard me wrong. But no she just refused. The store was dead and she wasnt doing anything. So rude. I hope she finds joy in ruining peples mornings.
- CWCarson wentzJan 5, 20261.0I have shopped hear for the past 3 years And it has slowly but surely become much less than a great shopping experience. From the tiny single entrance we are all funneled in and out To the unprofessionalism and disrespect of the self check out women like my wife and myself experienced tonight 1-5-26 at around 5:44pm No reason to taunt us and continue to talk down to us after a simple misunderstanding. I guess its true what they say. Good help is hard to find
- MLMelissa LyonDec 25, 20251.0Don't advertise that you're open until 5pm on Christmas if you're going to close 20 minutes early then the stated hours and turn away customers. That's unprofessional and false advertising.
- MLMike LeeDec 20, 20251.0To management, Been going to this Safeway for many years. Was there recently and the Self serve checkout was a major disappointment. Why would Safeway make it a only credit/card only transaction? I normally use Cash for purchases. Other Safeway's have both options at the self checkout. This Safeway has been steadily going down hill...........
- CLChar LopezDec 8, 20251.0I almost didn’t write this review because it’s a bit embarrassing, but I realized I’m not the one who should be ashamed here. I was shopping at this Safeway and asked to use the restroom as a paying customer. I explained that I have a medical condition and really needed to go. The manager told me it didn’t matter, that he was “sorry,” and then suggested I go across the street to Starbucks instead. So not only was I denied access to a restroom in a store I was actively spending money in, I was told to go to another business I wasn’t even patronizing. I ended up going to Starbucks, buying a water I didn’t want just so I could use their bathroom, and throwing it away. I honestly don’t understand how a store that serves hot, ready-to-eat food can refuse customers access to restroom facilities, especially when there’s a clear medical need. According to RCW 70.54.400, since I have an eligible medical condition, they were required to let me use the restroom. Regardless of the law, it was a terrible customer service experience and made me feel dismissed and humiliated. I will think twice before shopping at this location again.
