Safeway Gas Station

10 people in line is just unacceptable and it has happened numerous times! Open the self checkout till 12 at least!

I am firm advocate of getting grocery shopping and gas done all in one trip. And I love Safeway gas! It is absolutely affordable and you can rack up points every time you use your card. I love it!
I also love how there is only one direction you can drive through the gas station. It makes it safe for driving and efficient! I highly recommend it!

I have been ordering cakes here for my team at work for birthdays every month and everyone loves them. I get compliments on it every time.
I order a half sheet white cake with fresh strawberry filling and whipped cream frosting for about 30 people. I highly recommend it.
Continuing to come here for the birthday cakes!

Gentleman in the deli area not really sure of his name was a great help even though i had several questions which im sure drove him crazy

This is just a great store. Not the closest grocery store to my home, but worth driving a little farther to shop here. Staff is always very nice. Quality of foods and selection is great.

Saying what needs to be said. This Safeway has gone downhill for a number of reasons. The number of people coming in and out of such a small space is dangerous. It needs to be in a larger space with more access. Especially since it has a gas station.
Yesterday was the tip of the iceberg. I entered the line and while the cashier was scanning my items she called someone else in the store and proceeded to gossip on the phone the whole time she was scanning my items and charging my card. Unbelievable.
Store is always crowded, lines and wait times are long. Forces customers to self-​checkout. I’m tired of seeing customers who are trying to buy groceries and get home to live their lives struggle at the self-​checkout for 15 minutes for five items.
I dread coming here during peak hours. The closest grocery store is Sprouts which I love but doesn’t carry everything.
One star for the gas station. One star for the deli staff who always make me great sandwiches, which I appreciate!
This store is not indicative of the majority of Safeway’s I have frequented. Safeway Corporate — please get a bigger space/​parking lot for safety issues!

Great centralized location, you can see the building from the South 680 to 580 East overpass. I can pick up groceries, fill up the gas tank, get a mani/​pedi, stock up on craft supplies, check out some house plants and drop off dry cleaning all in the same 4 block radius.
This Safeway seems to be one of the bigger and updated stores of this supermarket chain. Loved the new look but … traffic is a mess. The entrance/​exit on Amador Plaza is too close to the intersection and creates a traffic jam during peak hours. During peak hours, lunchtime and early evening after work, parking is at a premium.
Inside Safeway, staff is still friendly … if you can find them. Ever since they added the self check lanes, staffed cash registers have decreased. I stopped by today at around 6:30pm, thinking I had bypassed the dinner crowd. I was grossly mistaken. The line at the self check was 10+ deep. There were only 2 – 3 cashiers and the lines at those registers were even longer. The lines were so long, I saw several people just give up, leave their groceries and walk out.
I was happily surprised to find more exotic or hard-​to-​find items like pomegranate fruit, not the pre-​packaged stuff. While I appreciate the expanded offerings at the store, I also expect convenience for the premium prices. I may have to patronize other supermarkets with more parking, better access and more staffer cash registers.
Grade: 2.5 stars begrudgingly upgraded to 3 stars

Good local Dublin store w/​plenty of variety that you usually find in the ‘burbs. There is also a gas station at this store. It also has a great deli team… as I often attend Giants games and get my «go to» ballpark snacks here ($ 1 big Safeway corn dogs beat the smaller $ 5 ballpark corn dogs anytime!).

Ehhh, it’s okay for a Safeway, but no as good as others in the area.
Gas station sucks… lines are always LOOOOONG!
Just not excited about this store… others nearby are better.
3.48 stars.

Love the iPhone app! We save tons with digital coupons and 4x gas rewards from the app. $ 5 Friday is also fun!

Nothing to complain about this gas station other than it’s usually busy. They have a lot of pumps, 4 lanes of 3. Decent prices with the Safeway discount.

This store is awful.
Lack of checkers /​express lane checkers. Now that alcohol is banned from self service, if you and your date want to pick up a bottle of wine, you have to wait behind 3 families getting their weekly groceries.
Yes LUCKYs sucks way more. Way more. But Safeway used to better. When I can afford it I go to Genes, but it’s the champagne of grocery stores here.
Urinal in the mens room has been broken for months. Funny when they have all these restroom policies signs up.

Pay attention folks! This Safeway routinely makes mistakes when charging at scanners. They did it to me again. The clerk had to go look it up and change it. Today-​three items were involved.
This seems to occur too frequently to be simple human error. Usually this occurs when sale prices differ from the original.
I think this is one for Bureau of Weights and Measures.
Otherwise, the store is clean if you want to chance it.

I hit this Safeway up quite often on the way home, and it’s super convenient for me to get what I want quickly. I buy their pre-​made salads often, and they are pretty decent. Getting 2 salads is still cheaper than eating out and getting 1, and I don’t need to buy a whole bunch of salad and keep eating the same stuff for a week.
The seafood (esp things like fresh shrimp, oysters, fresh fish) selection is a bit of a bummer at Safeway, but I know that’s not really what they do.
This location helps that it has gas too, so I can fill up for cheap. Staff is pretty friendly.
–1 star for the fried chicken… it’s terrible.

I try to fill up here as little as possible. The lines are incredibly long! And for that, you can save a few cents. For the area, it is one of the cheaper places, but my time is worth something. Besides, I can fill up gas near work in Fremont, and for the same or usually even cheaper, I can get gas at 76.
This would normally be a 3 star review for me, but the gas pumps are literally the worst design in the world! I maybe adding a couple of steps, or maybe even forgetting some, but…
1 click: Enter yes for club card.
+
10 clicks: Your phone number
+
1 click: If you want to use your Safeway rewards
+
1 click: Credit card?
+
1click: receipt?
Now all of that is fine and all, but maybe you should design the pumps so that the hose doesn’t completely block all of the keys and the display. You need to use one hand to move the hose away, then do all of those keystrokes. I hope you don’t fat finger the wrong number, else you’ll start over again.
You need to look at the user interface and redesign how the hose sits and where the screen and keypad are.
You’d think that you could just key your credit card to your account and that it would know your safeway club card number based on that.

I like the people who work here. Many of them are affable, hard-​working, salt-​of-​the-​earth folk! That is what makes shopping here a joy!
However, Safeway doesn’t make me happy as a general rule of thumb. The re-​do on this store is terrible! Finding things is terrible! Asking them to stock things I would buy on regular basis (Black haircare anyone? Anyone? No?) has been terrible! Getting a decent response from their corporate office has been terrible! The selection of produce is terrible! And the quality of meats? I think I’ll be nice and not say what a butcher from another grocery store said about them.
Their gas prices aren’t bad and they are, in my opinion, better than Lucky’s!
But that’s not saying much!

Hey this is the closest Safeway store to the Corporate Headquarters less then a mile away. I’m sure there is more than one or two Corporate people checking out this store everyday. The store is always in good shape but the parking lot ingress and egress along with the parking is bad. The Safeway gas station always has lines and blocks the entrances. This store is well stocked.

Can’t really complain. Convenient location for my carpool meet-​up & discounts with your Safeway Club Card Reward Points. Long hoses as well so pull up on either side & you’ll still be able to reach your tank.
Additionally, there’s a mini-​convenience store that also sells Lotto (though CASH ONLY). Dude @ the register however isn’t the friendliest of sorts, hence subtracting a star…

This is quite a large Safeway store. Half the time I spend just trying to find the items I need in this maze. I find that if you start at the very back of the store, you get a better view of the signs indicating what’s in each aisle. From the front of the store, it’s just too spread out to see.
Anyways, the staff is alright. They don’t really go out of their way to ask if you need help finding anything, unlike at other Safeway stores I’ve been to. Nor do they really try to acknowledge you with a simple «hi» or even a smile. It’s only when I try to start a conversation that I see they’re actually quite friendly, or have a personality of some sort. Half the time, the staff just looks bored, which they might be, but still. I thought customers aren’t the ones expected to initiate customer service???
Also, stores used to have the weekly coupons at ready near the front doors. At this store, they’re nowhere in sight! Thanks for going green, but sometimes, it’d be nice if I could double-​check what’s on sale, especially since the Just For U items aren’t marked when you find the right aisle, and my phone can’t pick up any internet reception at this store for me to check either. Still, I do appreciate all the weekly sales they have, especially for ice cream and wheat thins :)
The last time I came in, I was selecting flowers for my dear mom for Mother’s Day. There were so many beautiful arrangements to choose from! The floral department was quite busy and a long line had formed. It’s really nice that they wrap the flowers, complimentary. Very satisfied with the flowers.

Very nice Safeway! Produce always seems to be so fresh! Good dates on everything.
I love to get there sushi, this location has a different supplier of sushi than other locations in the area, and it’s so much better. My mom is a fan of there chicken wings, and coleslaw. And we always buy all our meat from Safeway, only place my mom will trust.
