I came into the store ON 10/30 @ 6:06pm to order a cake for my daughter's 16 birthday. I wanted to write her name in the cake as I had done at other stores. Staff member at the store - Harold was very rude. He was rudely shouting at me and asking me to do it on my own. I quietly ignored him as his suggestion was not helping me. His exact words were " you...

No customer service. Regularly wait for 20min for help at customer service desk. Long lines with only one or two lanes open. Employees rarely help bag my groceries and the person checking me out has actually tapped their fingers at me bagging to go faster, twice, with a long line behind me. Don't they normally help? Bathrooms out of service for months.

On 10/25/19 approx. 7:50 pm during self check out. I had two packs of cakes and I scanned both. After that I realized I made a mistake. I wanted just one, so I asked the person at the self check out station to cancel one of them. She came and canceled it. Then she realized she canceled wrong one, so she scanned it back, and took the cake with her. After I...

I love my local Safeway store, but the pharmacy is one place that I sometimes feel totally ignored. (Also the deli ... but I have solved that by avoiding it.). I arrived at the pharmacy at 5:02 PM on October 20. I had been receiving phone calls saying my order was ready. (I had re-ordered insulin needles for my dog about 6 days prior). I had tried to pick...

The store manager continually allows homeless people to loiter in the store for hours on end.. I've seen one particular homeless person that has diarrhea on their pants smells completely filthy, and behaves loudly and disrupts business. The store manager Dominic Dennis allows this to go on daily in his store!! I am uncomfortable as a customer coming into...

This is not against the store itself, but the company as a whole. I am thankful for the rewards and savings that come with the Club Card. We have used them numerous times. However, I feel like we [customers] are punished for not spending enough or using rewards fast enough to make the company happy. My reasons for feeling this way are as follows: 1) You...

Safeway lucerne egg nog - quart size advertised in safeways big book of savings pg 3

Safeway's BIG BOOK of SAVINGS pg 3 has a clip or click just for u coupon for LUCERNE Egg Nog (Quart size) which I down loaded into my Safeway bucket list however I went to 2 of ur SAFEWAY stores today (660 Bailey Rd, Pittsburg, CA & 4309 Clayton Rd, Concord, CA) n neither one had any of the quart size LUCERNE Egg Nogs on hand - NONE! There were larger sizes of LUCERNE (1/2 Gallon) n other quart size egg nogs from different manufacturers but no quart size egg nog from LUCERNE. This BIG BOOK of SAVINGS started Oct 2nd, today is Oct 7th - 5 days into the savings ad advertisement. Seems to me if ur going to advertise in the BIG BOOK of SAVINGS that u would at least have it on hand in ur stores. Pls check with ur Safeway stores n if u could let me know if there is a store location near me that may have the LUCERNE egg nog available/on hand for purchase pls let me know - my area code is 94565 - my email address is paul.[protected]@yahoo.com - thank you for ur help

I was shopping in the Safeway store on 710 Bancroft Road, Walnut Creek CA on 1-6-19 at 12:15 PM. I only had a few items so I proceeded to the express check out line. There were only four people ahead of me in line and it took the checker, Christopher, 15 minutes to get to me. He was extremely slow and that was an exorbitant amount of time to wait. I would...

Safeway produce

I have notice that since Safeway was bought out by Albertsons many of the items I used to buy there have disappeared but the produce is the worst. The broccoli is rotten and so is the cauliflower in fact ALL of the produce in the Castle Rock, Colorado store is rotten and should be thrown away! I didn't realize that Colorado was annexed by Mexico or Arkansas as that is the same kind of lousy produce I've seen in those places. Holy cow, Walmart is now a step up... Wake up Safeway/Albertsons or you are gone forever! Also you no longer carry Raincoast Crisps crackers or Nestle Chocolate wafers, what is wrong with this company? I'm going to Kroger from now on.

Safeway digital coupons

I don't like the digital coupons as not all of us do apps or have time to look them up on home computers. When you see a sale price, that should be the sale price. Make it easier on everyone. I usually get up to the check stand and find I've not seen the "digital" language and pay twice as much as I had intended. Very frustrating. Especially to the older population. And the checker is not able to help you.

PLEASE do away with digital coupons to be fair.

Safeway blueberries, raspberries, blackberries / sat. sept 28,2019

In store and in the newspaper, Safeway advertises, "Buy 1, Get 2 FREE" on the above berry selection. NO where on the sign in front of the berries or in the ad does it state that the promo is for ALL berries collectively. When I reached checkout I was told that I could only have one of the berries at the promo price and was charged full price for the other berry choices I made. This is the second time that I have brought this to the attention of management in the store, telling them that they need to put up a sign with the berries that is more clear in what the consumer can get or not get with the promo. I was told last time that they agreed it was misleading and they would take action. Today at the checkout, the sales associate told me that the signs and ad were misleading, but yet he did nothing. I asked to speak with the manager and he said, "Oh, she's around here somewhere". After waiting for him to get her to come over, I finally left.

I am cognizant that I am only talking about "berries" here, but it is unacceptable that this large food chain can continue to have misleading advertising with no consequence. I trust that you will be able to do something about this. I am sure that it is probably happening in other places other than Tucson, AZ.

Thank you

Safeway bad meat

We purchased a package of five NY strip steaks at our Springerville Arizona Safeway and upon unwrapping them I discovered the backside (the unseen part of the steaks) is brown, perhaps bad. The fresh date on the steak wrapper says good till October 1st, today is September 27th. This is NOT the first time we have found the unseen part of the hamburger meat and/steaks to be brown. If the meat is bad, it shouldn't be sold, right? My name is William May, 17 Deer Circle, Quemado, New Mexico. Email: [protected]@gmail.com

Safeway bathrooms

I'm an out of town traveler, stopped at Safeway in Buiren Washington. Entering the store late on a Sunday the shelves were picked over. But I found everything I needed.

I stopped by the restroom before I left...It was disgusting. My husband said the mens room was bad too.

As I left, I considered telling the manager, but was greeted by a custodian as I walked out of the RR.

My suggestion: check and clean the restrooms several times a day, not just before you close.

I am very displeased and angry to write the service I have received from this department recently. It seems like they're either short staff or very slow at what they're are doing. This past week I've waited in line for a 8 piece chicken for 30 mins only to find out that I would've to wait another 40 mins for it to be done. The lady rudely said "how come I...

Today, Friday September 20th around 10:30am I was at the Pharmacy at the above location. The employee who "helped" me was named Jennifer. She was very unpleasant to work with. She did not acknowledge I was there, just kept walking back and forth, when a simple "I'll be with you in a moment" would let me know I'm going to get helped. Then there was an issue...

Safeway home delivery

My wife and I are 76 years old and Disabled.

In the month of August I placed 17 orders totaling $>1, 500. Charged fee for specific delivery time. 20% error rate and no
Refund of fees.

Current order was not delivered at all. 16 hours later still no contact from Safeway.

Safeway accepts orders that can't be delivered. I have complained of the poor management of Campbell CA delivery store.

Walmart delivers for lower fee and on time.
Prime doesn't charge a fee and is on time.
What is Safeway saying, use the competition!

Safeway caramel caribou ice cream

I have bought several containers of caramel carboy ice cream recently and all of them have none or maybe one or two chocolaty caramel cups in the whole container. I am having some right now and there is one only. What's going on? There used to be very many and now none. This has been my favorite for a long time and I am truly distressed by the sudden change. Please start putting the chocolate caramel cups back in.
