Safeway Ticket # 156330

Lucila Garcia

[protected]

152 Nueva Dr.

Myrtle Creek, OR 97470

Good morning,

On September 17th, 2023 I bought a Vanilla gift card for my grand daughter at the Albertson store in Roseburg, OR for $50.00. When she went to use it she got a message that said something went wrong. She tried to put a code but it still did not work. I went to the store to see if they would make it work or get a refund. They said they do not give refunds on cards and they gave me a [protected] number to call. I called and spoke with Wanda and she said she could not help me either and gave me this email address to start my complain. I would like to have a refund of my money. I ended up giving my teenage grand daughter another $50.00 so now I'm out $100.00. Please get back to me with a solution on how to get my money back. I have attached a copy of the receipt that shows my purchase for the card and fees.

Lucila Garcia

Claimed loss: $54.95

Desired outcome: Please refund in form of a check so I can deposit or refund to my credit card.

Today I was a customer at store 3011 at 15:05 REF [protected], however my complaint is based not only on today but on recent past experiences at this store. Today's shopping experience was typical: I was attempting to get a shopping cart out of the outdoor concrete walled storage area. The entrance was blocked by two employees of Safeway who were carrying...

I've been shopping at Safeway store 2448 for 10 years now, the endless amount of young scumbags just casually walking out the door with stolen stuff, strolling without a care in the world of being stopped has gotten out of control, as the rest of us pay to watch 4 or 5 just walk out needs to end. There was always a Portland Police car there one a day...

Upon questioning of the $5.00 coupon on purchases over $25.00; Stevenson said agreed and said it was new customer's Only. Then he took my ad while I turned my back and sent me to Reid's line. Upon Reid's line, he said it was for new customer's only while Stevenson stood by in Reid's check stand to affirm his stance. All's I did was to ask. However, then...

Safeway No receipt of approved refund for non application of discounts

On August 8, 2023, I sent in an order for grocery delivery for August 9, 2023 to my home. The discounts shown added up to $155.87. On delivery, the discounts were not applied and the entire order expense was deducted from my checking account. I called the Safeway delivery customer service number and was told I would have to prove the error. I called the following day, and was told I would receive my refund in 5-7 business days. I have called 4 more times, being promised my refund in 5-7 business days each call. Still, I've received no refund. I've contacted my bank for an investigation and they say they might be able to force a refund, but that was a week ago. I will not shop at Safeway again until I receive my money. I will switch my prescriptions from their pharmacy. If necessary, I will sue the business. This is theft and fraud.

Desired outcome: I want my $155.87 returned to my checking account immediately. No more delays, no more excuses.

My 2 minor children, ages 17 yrs and 9 yrs, were kicked out of the Graham WA safeway, escorted by security, extremely humiliated and embarrassing for them. Safeway did this because weeks before that someone we had been in the store with in the past had stolen something. We were not with this person the day of the theft, but because we had been in the past...

I opened a bag of brown rice and poured it into my tupperware container and found live black bugs with many legs crawling around in the container. I am sure you will want to know about this for your quality assurance department. The ID on the bag is as follows...Best if used by APR 27 24 L, S1284, 10:30.

The bar code is [protected]. Above the bar code is RD21181.

Please make sure the correct people see this information. I am attaching video of the bugs and rice.

Desired outcome: I would appreciate assurance that the correct department gets this info

Safeway restroom

Safeway’s reputation for cleanliness is an absolute necessity.

There is a sign outside the ladies restroom saying ”we take pride in the cleanliness…", etc. The state of the restroom is abhorrent. Walls, floor, toilet (not just the condition of the seat…also the entire toilet… soap and towel dispensers.

I told the staff, but perhaps corporate needs to see to this.

If this is the state of things, how is the food handled?

Hope this changes.

Safeway Delivery

I’m a new “Fresh pass” member and this alleged delivery service is completely useless. I placed a straight forward order of milk, eggs, and bread after traveling 13 thousand miles home. The eggs were broken and there was no milk. I placed another order for milk and an empty bag arrived at my door with no invoice and no milk. When I left California 6 months ago there were cows, are all the cows in California dead?

Safeway customer service reads from a script like a robot of how sorry they are, I don’t know who I

Pity more the dead cows or the brain dead Safeway customer support staff.

Desired outcome: I would like milk with my coffee.

Phone customer service used to be based in the USA with knowledgeable helpful staff. They must have been fired since now it's 100% based in "the usual" foreign countries with completely clueless non-English speakers. SHAME on Safeway and Albertsons. I have experienced this every single day for 4 days straight. It began on August 24, 2023 when I called just...

Safeway Pharmacy

I'd like to file a complaint for the Safeway Pharmacy in Grand Coulee Store #3247.

I have lived in Nespelem since June 2016 and have filled my prescriptions with Safeway ever since.

This pharmacy constantly sends their phone calls directly to Cisco Messaging Service, and doesn't pick up their calls. This is an ongoing issue. No one picks up the phone, and they let it ring until it connects to Cisco Messaging Service.

I am disabled and have medications I MUST call in to have filled.

Today I have tried calling every since 1pm (yes I know it's closed from 1:30-2pm for lunch), and it rang several times and was forwarded to Cisco Messanging Service. They charged my care provider for a prescription that my Insurance pays for, and she had to pay a co-pay for my prescription. I do not have a co-pay. I have had this prescription for years, and my insurance always pays for this medication.

Regards,

Serenity

Desired outcome: 1. Answer the Phone!2. Call me instead of charging my Care Provider for prescriptions that my insurance pays for.
