Service and sales associate
I was in the woodburn safeway today and one of your associates completely targeted me and started harassing me! I forgot my mask and there were a lot of people around without one on and instead of speaking with everyone she made me the target and this isn't the first time this has happened in this store! I will never come back and I will make sure everyone knows exactly what they do and how they treat people in this store! It is disgusting to me the crap I endure each time! I will never be back and I will make sure everyone I know won't either
Customer service and product

I have been putting this off for some time, 3 years to be honest but I feel like I should let you know the service I have received these last few weeks is completely unacceptable. about 3 weeks ago I went to the Deli and stood there while 1 employee was cleaning for close at around...

Managers name: Angie, last name unknown I have shopped at the same Safeway for about 2 years now and only just recently one of the managers there started harassing me every time I walked into the store.

On 8/20/21 @ 2:15 p.m., I tried to return an unopened bottle of Glen Oak strawberry yogurt drink because the bottom had begun to bulge. The expiration date on the bottle was 9/18/21. I purchased it on 8/14 or 8/15. I threw out the receipt since I DID NOT KNOW the yogurt would go bad. The person at the counter, female, petite, dark red hair (I don't know her...
Read full review of SafewayNot following Washington state's mask mandate
On August, 23, 2021 at 5:00 PM I went to the Safeway in Lakewood, WA. Store # 1645. Located 10223 Gravelly Lake Drive SW, Lakewood, WA 98499.
There were many other shoppers not wearing masks. When I asked the manager on duty about this, he did not know the meaning of a Mandate. He also told me that his store would not do anything until his high ups told him what to.
Packaging
I would love to buy your cookies that you make in store but you put them in those awful plastic clam shell containers.
I really want to stop adding to the plastic in our environment.. A paper bag is fine, or something I can compost. Please find a solution to this issue.
There are other area in store that have too much Plastic. All of your baked goods could be in paper bags with a display of what's in them. Really, this is an easy solution.
Desired outcome: Less plastic use
Customer service
I had a very bad experience. I will never shop here again! the customer service was terrible! I am not recommending you to anyone! because of your rude unfair mask policies. The self-checkout clerks actually got in my face and yelled, and harassed me to wear a mask, they kicked me out and said I was no longer welcome to shop there! Safeway, its pretty sad...

Driver of Safeway delivery truck
On 08/14/21 my wife and I were driving SW on Hwy. 18 Tiger Pass in Washington State), when we were passed by a Safeway delivery truck. When the truck passed us, we noticed the driver was older than we expected (had gray mustache). Within minutes of following the truck, we noticed the truck weaving in and out of it's lane, at one point coming very close to striking the concrete center barrier. I don't know what was wrong with the driver (drunk, sleepy, on cell phone?), but his driving was very unsafe (see attached video).
The truck had an Illinois license plate (437019D).
Service
Haven't complain since Thursday when no baskets, 1 checker, took 20 minutes in line and rude checker -, refer to other emails Today Saturday - no carts no more checkers I am 84 years old and will have to drive 30miles to shop.
Dad that u can't accommodate your customers
Desired outcome: Service
Eating area
There are seats at tables that are too high for children. It may help to provide chairs that accompany the handicap seating to help parents with minors.
Read full review of SafewayNew app design
The new app design is absolutely horrible. It takes so much more time to scroll through all the products and is a major pain in the butt. As always, there is still no 'check all' so I don't have to spend 30 minutes tapping every product individually. What a waste of my time. I'd rather shop at a different store than endure the mind-numbing, time-wasting app
Desired outcome: Fix the app. Create a 'check all' option so I don't waste my life tapping every product
Just for U Change
I am disgusted with the changes in Just 4 U. Before, I could pull up my choices and see the expiration dates. Now, I cannot do that but have to open each item individually.
I have gone to this Safeway for decades, and every year it gets worse. You no longer have Items I want, so I go to Walmart. If this tech nonsense goes on, I will not be going to Safeway anymore. When something is new and improved, it might be new but is never improved.
My motto: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Upset in Santa Clara
Desired outcome: Email and change back to old Just 4 U,
Employees attitude
I was at the local Safeway today getting groceries when 3 times I encounter someone with bad attitude. First it was the guy in produce, I asked if he had any green grapes that were on ad and in a crappy attitude he says "I can't get them"! Then when I was done shopping I told the curiosity clerk I had my own bags he proceeded to bag my groceries in a plastic bag!. Then I get home only to find I was over charged for three grocery items. This is the third week in a round this has happened, I will NO longer be shopping at Safeway, at least in this town. The total overcharges was over $6 which is a lot when your a senior on a limited income.
Desired outcome: Refund
Last week when I was overcharged for my groceries, I had to drive all the way back to the store to get a $19 refund. The front end manager is very condescending and does nothing but make excuses for the employees, her "sorry" was extremely fake. This week I'm not looking forward to going back again for the same issue.
East Ave., Chico, CA - Hygiene - Covid precautions
After speaking with friends in Redwood City, San Jose and San Francisco, the failure of Safeway's bakery department is not a store issue, it is a corporate issue. Up until Covid precautions, Safeway ALWAYS lacked hygiene precautions in your bakery department. The donuts, rolls, etc., were accessible to people's germs and handling. Safeway consistently...
Read full review of SafewaySafeway Hood River Deli
I have week after week gone to the Hood River Safeway. I have gone for Deli specials and for each week I GET A RAINCHECK. I have complained to the manager time after time. This has gone on for weeks and for the same thing in the Deli. I am constantly given excuses. I have gotten NO results for week after week. It was a plan to use for dinner so I have started going out rather than even try. I have seen others with the same problem.
I hope you can resolve this for customers in the future. As for me I have actually given up and my business is gone.
Desired outcome: I would like to know that customers are important
Spoiled food
I have shopped at the Safeway in Pollock Pines, California from time to time. On four different occasions in the past 11 months since we moved to the area, I have purchased meat there that, when opened on the day they were purchased, were horribly rotten. On two occasions it was vacuum sealed lamb and on two others it was vacuum sealed grass fed ground...
