Safeway

I am giving Safeway three stars. I wish I could give the wonderful woman behind the sushi counter five stars. She is very friendly and I have found this to be the best grocery store sushi around! Plus she always offers to make something fresh. She’s amazing!
I want to give the check-​out service/​staff only 1 star. Every time I visit, the service is tremendously slow. Today, my husband waited in line while I went to the Starbucks counter. I ordered and drank my entire latte (it was hot) before he even made it to the clerk at the register! The clerk, proceeded to overcharge, undercharge, double scan and deleted numerous items from the customer in front of us. Our order too! I know the store’s inventory will be a mess and her cash drawer will not be accurate. Maybe she is new… Either way, this was a pour reflection on the store and our experience today.
Hoping for a better experience next time. I’ll be back to get more sushi!

Expired products… packaged lunch meats are brown, on at least three occaisions in the last 6 months… small black gnat like flies coming from their fountain drink coke dispenser… couldn’t tell anyone because no one was around, left my cup, passed on the bugs. Alot of cashier turnaround… about the only good thing is their pharmacy personnel, but they don’t seem to last long either. And one more thing, unless you like your bread bagged with bleach, keep an eye on the bagger… they either overload the bags or smash your bread or chips… almost every time. Been going here for 12 years, before frys arrived… finally had enough… I go to the Safeway at pinnacle and Scottsdale road. The gnat incident was the middle of October 2015… many gnats, it was nasty, that was it for me…

Employees clearly don’t like working there and if you try to get help you are on your own. Fry’s located across the street is FAR better!

Love this Safeway! The people are super friendly and they always have what I am looking for! The Starbucks inside the Safeway is also amazing! Not only are the people super friendly and have memorized my entire families drinks they also make the drinks perfect. You would think every Starbucks would be the same right? Sadly it seems like every other Starbucks I go to can’t get it right!

Very clean grocery store. The staff is so friendly. I love the the Starbucks and clean area to hang out.

Check the expiration dates! This location is notorious for having expired stock. It’s poorly staffed & the few times I’ve brought expired items up front, I’ve been confronted with staff that were not the least bit interested. I avoid shopping here.

employees can be rude and slow at times. a little on the high side for prices so if you want to not spend a lot on food i suggest going to fry’s across the street. gas prices are high too when you can go across to circle K for gas that is 5 cents cheaper. but if you do shop here a lot you get point which can earn you a discount on gas.

I tried to give them another chance. They baited me in with the 30% off wine sale. I thought ok, sure… why not. I went last night and purchased 6 bottles to receive the additional 10% off. Today I went back to find another wine I wanted and met with the wine department manager. She was snotty and walked away from me while I was trying to understand why they don’t carry the specific wine.
Thanks but I don’t need the drama. The sale was nice but I’m out!

I am super stoked I am the first one to review this Safeway! This is the Safeway in my hood. If Cave Creek is the hood?
I don’t actual do a lot of my shopping at Safeway. It is split between Costco, Target, and here. I have a few staples I come in for and that’s about it. The odd beer run as well. There produce is always very fresh and well stocked. I mostly by my vegetables and the occasional fruit bunch here. The cashiers are always very nice and fast. They also don’t mind when I walk in with about 5 minutes to go before closing. I also frequent the gas station here and steal me ma’s fuel rewards! Thanks Claud!
I heart you Safeway!
