Safeway - Over charging and not giving sale prices
My husband and I have been shopping at this Safeway for 2.5 years now and the last year we have had to audit our receipt EVERY SINGLE time we go to this store. So far in the last year, each week, multiple times a week, we find errors of them not honoring sale prices and not ringing up the products correctly. SOOO 100% of our shopping weekly we find error...

First I want to say most times the salads in the back are expired, and bad. It is not marked and should be taken off the shelf. I have started shopping Maui Lani as store is always clean and fully stocked with good date. I have lost a wallet and I now know it was at Safeway Gas station. I called yesterday and the manager Devon got really short...

Store 1747 Dir Willie Roberts, Chino Valley AZ. Every week have to check receipts to make sure charged correct price. In the last month I have had to go to customer service 3 weeks out of 4, to get refund. It has been happening for some time, sale prices are not being put into computer to ring up right at check out. Safeway is only store in Chino Valley AZ. I am ready to travel the 35 minutes to shop else where. The store is ripping off people who do not check their receipt. Tonight two items were wrong price, refund total over $4.00.
Something needs done, have seen posts on other sites with same complaint. Needs fixed soon.

Safeway never got back to me
I went through self check out. I forgot to put in my discount phone number. I was buying Viva wiping towel that were on sale. I told the checker lady. She had me sign a receipt because she checked me out again with my discount number. Long story short I ended up paying twice $33.38. When I had checked my bank and realized what had happened I went to the complaint window and complained, they wanted the receipt which I did not have, they wanted the time and the machine. They did not care and never got back with me although they had promised. I then began shopping at Lucky, but thought the checker packers were rude, so I started back at Safeway thinking at least they were nice, but today in the self checkout line the light went on because of confusion with the lettuce. When the check out lady came to check instead of helping right away she began checking through my bags like I was a thief as the security guard watched. This was highly insulting. I asked her what was the doing. She said it was her job to do it. She had an attitude. This is the type of thing that turns people around.
Recommendation: Remember to key in your discount phone number.
Charging a second instead of issuing a refund - and not getting the correct amount of product - seems to be the new Safeway scam where I live. In my case, it should have been an even exchange (I had the original receipt AND product) but was told it would be a refund. Instead, I got charged again and never got my product at all! Their Payment Services Center has been giving me the runaround for two weeks and I'm really running out of patience.
my disabled son had an urgent need for the restroom while we were shopping at the Creekbridge Safeway in Salinas, California and none of the employees we asked would provide the code for the restroom door. this is in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Pharmacy Tech
Kursten at the Safeway pharmacy in Seward Alaska is incredibly unprofessional. Her posts on social media regarding her customers and the medications that they receive should be looked into. It is the only pharmacy in our small town and I don't trust that she is confidential and I won't be getting my medications from there anymore unfortunately. I may even contact my attorney as I feel she has broken HIPAA on numerous occasions while getting intoxicated at local establishments and sharing confidential information.

Customer service (lack of)
Today…after 5 years of shopping Safeway, I experienced the rudest, angriest, and unsettled employee that I have ever had the displeasure of crossing paths with. To the point Safeway corporate should be concerned that she is representing Safeway in a store, in any capacity. She is either someone that has been angry all her life, or, just got freed from the...

Read full review of SafewayAccount disabled!
My husband and I are mobility-challenged seniors. We were so happy when Safeway in Edmonton started Voila, a delivery service of groceries. I got online and tried to set up delivery with a password, and I was shocked to get this message: ACCOUNT DISABLED. What? We never disabled our account — we never had one except air miles, the former Safeway points link. We have an excellent credit rating. I contacted customer service — they said they wold investigate and get back to me. That was several months ago. I heard nothing! So I thought, maybe the matter has been resolved. I tried again today — setting up a Voila account. ACCOUNT DISABLED! It is like that Seinfeld episode with the Soup Nazi. NO SOUP FOR YOU!
Claimed loss: no account
Desired outcome: We would like a Voila account so we can get our grocerie delivered.
Respect to loyal daily customers
Today 11/14/23 I was going to Safeway as I do every night to get Starbucks when I went to pull into a parking spot in between a black SUV and the curb when two employees came walking through the parking spot wearing black hoodies in the dark as I’m pulling into the spot I had to swerve to miss hitting them my car hit the curb and as I’m getting out of my car, the mail employee Aiden, who is now the dairy manager at Wilsonville told me to watch where I’m [censored]ing driving and he was with his girlfriend Jace, who is a barista at Starbucks .
Desired outcome: Reprimand and teach them about safety while walking through dark parking lots and respect for customers
