Safeway

Went in at 10:00 pm on a Sundat to get something to eat and drink. Figured I would maybe find something on the hot table that was packaged from the Asian leftovers. Found something and grabbed a soda and proceeded to the checkout. They had two cashiers and both had very large lines. The lines were long enough I reruned the items where I got them and left without purchasing anything.
It’s kind of a shady location, this area unfortunately has gone down hill the last 5 years. So much they always have security walking the store and parking lot.

No thank you, I’ll pass and go across the street to Fred Meyer.
Dirty and dark store, kinda sketch especially for the area it is in.
Tons of cash registers, usually only one or two open, so expect long lines. The staff isn’t very friendly, if you can even find anyone.
It is hard to maneuver through the store; lots of random carts in the aisles, displays in the way… Even the parking lot is hard to get into with all the one way streets surrounding it.
Seriously RUDE customers. Overpriced as well.
Will not be back.

This place is such a disappointment when compared to the Fred Meyer a few blocks over.
No matter what time of the day you go, they are guaranteed to only have two registers open with super long lines.
One night when we stopped in, one of the «managers» was cracking jokes over the loud speaker, when there were 10 people all waiting in one line.
OPEN UP SOME FREAKIN REGISTERS!

This review is towards the Starbucks located inside this Safeway.
This was the worst service that I ever encountered from a barista. Her name was Arbriana (spelling?). She was by herself. When I approached the counter she was stacking up cups. She already had a scowl look on her face and I had a gut feeling that this wasn’t going to be pleasant. Boy, was I right. She glared up at me for a couple of seconds before forcing the word «Hi» out. No smile or anything. It was such an unwelcoming feeling that I didn’t even want to give her my order. I just ignored that thinking she had a bad day, everyone is bound to have one of those days.
When I proceeded with my order (extra hot white chocolate mocha with whip) she rolled her eyes when I said extra hot. My total came out for $ 4.11. I have her a $ 10 bill, 1 penny and 1 dime. I was expecting $ 6 back but she handed me some change. I told her that I gave her 11 cents so I shouldn’t get back any change. Then she looked at the register and she said I gave her 6 cents. I told her I gave her a dime and a penny. She looked at the registered again and took out a nickel and a dime and she said I gave her 15 cents. I then repeated that I gave her a dime and a penny. She argued stating that I gave her 15 cents. Then I said «Does it really matter?» I didn’t want to have this argument over a 4 cents difference.
I was very close to asking for my money back and just walking away because she was so rude. The fact was that I gave her enough and I just wanted bills back rather than change. She then rolled her eyes again and started making my drink. I had to walk to the other side of the counter so I can see what she was doing. I was really scared that she was going to spit in my drink. Then when she was done, she quietly slammed the drink on the counter.
I should have went with my first instinct and walked away. I paid $ 4 for the worst white chocolate mocha, it just tasted like hot milk. Forget about asking her to remake it. She obviously does not know what customer service is.
I was so upset I called customer service right away. I spoke with a manager explaining what I had just experience and she was very apologetic. She even offered two coupons for free drinks in the future. At first I didn’t accept it because I wasn’t looking for a free drink but my drink was so bad I knew I ended up throwing it away. The manager handled the situation very nicely.
Overall this is your typical Safeway. I’ve never had a bad experience here other than my Starbucks incident.

Horrible service slow as molasses… open one register for everyone and expect all else to go through self service how lame

Pretty normal Safeway. The only thing that I’ve noticed, and maybe it’s because I don’t go out past 6 to my Safeway in the south end, is that they have deals on deli items on Fridays. I’m assuming it’s a Safeway-​wide thing but it was a pretty good deal for some Americanized Chow Mein. Some parts were a little crunchy but for $ 5 a good deal.

Wow how is it possible that this place can never have enough people working during the night. 2 damn clerks and like 20 people waiting in line. If I wanted to wait in line I would of gone to walmart or some small store!!! so not worth having to wait in line for 15min. Smdh note to self bring a sleeping bag cause it’s going to be a long night till you get helped

Clean and organized. But just like most grocery stores busy in the evening. Chicken from the deli was dry and over breaded. But if you use your store card the discount makes it almost worth it!

I mean, what can I say here. My in-​laws live very near here so I end up going here quite often. The workers here are actually quite nice and I’m always assisted very capably. However… For the second time in the last two months, I’ve taken a bit of rotten food. The first time, it was Fage Total yogurt. This time, it was packages of Pom Pomegranate arils. I’m used to looking at expiration dates on things like milk or sour cream, but I haven’t quite trained myself to do the same for other products.
Anyway, in case you’re wondering, rotten yogurt is not a recommended dish, however the pomegranate seeds had a strong acetone scent which made me wonder if this was the beginning of a delicious pomegranate liqueur. If only that was what I was looking for…

11÷25÷13−− 200 S 3^rd St Renton, WA.
My experience at this Safeway was horrible. I planned to purchase 23 bottles of the 7upTen 2 litters to donate to the food banks. While standing in line for checkout, the cashier Maryori stared me down because she saw that I had coupons in my hands, a lot of them. When I reached my time of checkout, Maryori had a bad attitude about having to scan my manufacturer coupons. I had 23 coupons to discount 23 of the 2 litters that I planned on purchasing. Maryori stopped on the 19^th coupon because her machine would not allow her to input anymore coupons. I asked her what was wrong, and she handed back the rest of my coupons and said «That’s all the coupons that my system can ring up, and that is all I can and am going to do.» I asked her why it would not allow her to when it CLEARLY reads, «limit one coupon per item purchase (d).» I said, that is exactly what I am doing I am purchasing 23 bottles of soda and using 23 manufacturer coupons. Maryori then rolls her eyes to the back of her head and says, «Your actually only allowed to use one coupon per item per purchase.» Her way of telling me I should have had to stand in line 23 times in order to get my desired savings. and that she was doing me a favor. I told her she was wrong, and that I would like her to show me the store coupon policy and facts on how she would even believe that she was right. She calls her manager over the intercom and as her manager arrives to the front counter, Maryori says right away to her manager, «I can’t put in anymore coupons, its only one coupon per item per purchased, tell her the policy.» (Yet, she rang up 19 bottles with 19 coupons.) This Cleary states that Maryori has no idea what the company coupon policy is before she even talked about rules. Maryori should not be allowed to speak upon ANY policy or even at that, a coupon policy. (By this time, Maryori does no longer want to say a single word to me) Her manager agreed with her for some odd reason, but had no valid reason or proof to prove that my coupon was not valid. Okay, I am not going to hold up a line to get my point across since I was speaking to two people, one that is supposed to be a cashier, and the other that’s supposedly has the title of a manager yet has same knowledge as a cashier. I felt like I was just dealing with two cashiers and no manager! They both have no knowledge whatsoever about their own coupon policy or even know how to read a coupon. I told the Maryori to take off three of the bottles so that I can use the rest of my coupons at some other time. After Maryori had called the manager to the front, I had no other word from her. I told her that she was rude, and she puts on a mean tone, and says, «I am not rude! I just told my manager THANK YOU!» I told her that I don’t care about her conversation that she was having with her manager from across my head and that her focus should be on the customer, that’s ME! I should not have been treated like a nobody. Maryori continues to tell me that she isn’t rude and that she didn’t say anything to me. Well, DUH! That’s why you’re rude! You’re going to ignore your customer? She didn’t have to say anything; I could read every form of irritation on her face. I told her I was done, I start to walk away, and as I do, she continues and tells me to «have a good day» in a very sarcastic tone, I think by this time, my blood was boiling and I have never been more disgusted from a horrible customer service experience to the point where I turned back and said «shut up already.» While she helps the next customer, she still is hollering out «WOW, Yeah ok!» What do you mean «WOW?» are you shocked how rude you were the entire transaction to the point where the customer can’t take anymore and has to tell you to shut up already?! That was enough for me. I worked for Safeway 7 years ago, I was a cashier too, and I NEVER would mistreat anyone that way for anything because when I first took the job I knew I was in charge of customer’s happiness and ensuring that they would be coming back again! I guess it’s not like that now days. Why should I be mistreated just because I use many VALID coupons per checkout? I coupon for a good cause, helping the ones in need at a low price and coupons and discounts help me do that. What is the big fuss? The store doesn’t lose out on money from coupons that customers use. It’s the same as cash. Your company is losing more customer and money because of the lack of respect from an employee to a customer. Maryori needs to be fired!, Everything she did right there, would result in losing my business as well as anyone who reads this. I will be sending this to BBB and I will let everyone know of this experience!!!

This is the worst Safeway in the world. Only 2 checkers there at the check stands. The self check outs suck. I won’t shop here ever again

Customer service is like Walmarts — well below par. The lines are always long, the store layout is poor. This is a pretty Ghetto store – location is inconveniently located between two one-​way roads… I am beginning to hate this Safeway. Long lines.
Just in 4 months, I left my groceries and just walked out. Surprisingly their meat dept sucks too. A big thumbs down for Safeway.

Really nice staff here, its just another safeway with all the essentials I need. I dont have anything bad to say about this place! I forgot what the cashiers name was but she was a little silly but so sweet too! And personable especially with my son and making small yet fun conversations!

The store itself is nice, and so are the people who work there. The customers are a different story. Very rude, and I always get hassled for money by people when I leave the store. We go to a Safeway that is further from us. Beware of a woman in an RV claiming that her mother is diabetic and they need gas money to get to Seattle. She tried that on two different occasions with me.

This Safeway has to be one of the most ghetto Safeway’s I have ever been to. It’s dirty, the parking lot is full of drug users, drug dealers and sketchy people. The produce is terrible and there is no hint of anything organic. Be careful shopping after dark! The Safeway in downtown Seattle exhibits a safer atmosphere!

I have been in line forever. Now I get to go by all the vagrant beggars with a cart full of food and feel guilty.

aaverage Safeway. One of the older stores. Other locations have leveled the older building and rebult with larger building. This could be a leased site where the landlord wont allow them to make the site better.
Than, one of the cashiers is pretty friendly. An Asian guy. I wish he was scheduled for duty more often.

Does the job for my neighborhood grocery needs. Other customers are rude and somehow always in the way.
Safeway never lets me down, but I really miss Greenfresh down the street.

I basically only go here to buy gas during my lunch break, but I have been into the store a few times and it is a lot better than most Safeways I have visited.
It’s clean and organized, which makes it super easy to find what you are looking for. Lines are short and the employees are pretty darn friendly — even as early as 7:15am — which makes for a good experience.
They have a pretty decent floral selection, which has come in handy a couple of times. The shelves are well-​stocked and I’ve always come away with what I went in for.

I shop here twice a year, it’s a long story…
Things have gradually gotten cleaner, the staff is very friendly, and there is plenty of parking…
That is all…
PS– Happy birthday Veggie-​girl…
