Safeway

No baskets or carts on either side of the store. Asked if I could use a paper bag to shop. Was told no. But not offered any help. Just no. You can’t shop here.
Went across the street to whole foods for my super bowl party supplies

Maybe the worst Safeway in the Bay Area. Go across the street to Whole Foods. Much nicer and cleaner with better options. Staff here are rude, the store is filthy and the have poor options. I also find the homeless issue is not taken care of Nd you’re constantly harassed almost like the poorly paid security guards have made friends w them instead of enforce a nice environment. I quit going here bc it’s bad!

A dreadful store. Don’t dare try to use the bathroom. Last night I made that mistake. Dried blood splattered on the inside of the door in the stall. (a lot of it!) Poop smeared on the wall. And a used needle on the floor next to the toilet. If you want to buy liquor you will be treated like a criminal. Just a terrible place.

I just have to… although I witness people shoplifting almost every time, I can’t complain about their selection or staffing. Everyone is nice and the lines move quickly. Security is a bit lacking but for the amount of people that go through the door, they would need an army.

Safeway security wrongfully grabbed a woman by pulling her and illegally searching her backpack for what they said someone pointed her out «stealing». One of the two security guards shoved her and snatched her bag to find nothing. she said she went to the bank.
One of the gaurds then proceeded to yell at her after shoving her and smoke a ciggarette by the safeway doors in this womans face saying «i snatch bags everyday!»
She asked for the manager who claimed he had no buisiness cards or proper forms to file a complaint.
This was just wrong. I believe she asked the cops be called.

This is a great place to grab some food in the Castro Its always open, so there is that.

I usually stop by this Safeway on my way home from work. Not only is it conveniently located with a large parking lot, it also has a huge selection of foods, snacks, and spirits. You can find almost anything you want, but it may take a little while since the store is so big. There is express self-​checkout and cashier registers. I prefer the self-​checkout lanes since the cashiers can be very slow depending on your luck.
Come to this Safeway if you have a lot of grocery shopping to do.

Yesterday at exactly 17:45 pm I had what I would call a very indifferent customer service experience, I went to the first check-​out stand by self check out. A young cashier, an African American woman did not offer to bag any of my groceries and my fish/​meat was not put in a clear perishable bag as is custom. I had to reach over credit card machine and reach for my groceries to bag them myself. She also failed to give my 50% of a President Brie even though a yellow sticker clearly indicated this item was discounted! Safeway… hmmmmm

Hot bar check, salad bar check, self checkout check, decent prices also check. Used needles in the bathroom GROSS! Shady rif raf all over the store yepp! If you need a quick grab for cheap this is a good spot to go. If not take your butt to whole foods across the street where the security actually does their job.

I only come here cause it’s close to my house. However today I encountered a «manager» at the deli who was beyond rude to her associates. She was degrading and belittled them in front of quite a few people.
I really hope that other people speak up on this managers actions and hopefully she can get some coaching on how to be a better mentor.

PHARMACY:
I have stayed with this pharmacy through 3 different moves. They are ²⁴⁄₇ and the pharmacy staff is extremely accommodating and helpful.

This place is terrible. You can expect the same prices as the whole foods across the street, but for poor quality products. I would suggest especially avoiding this Safeway if you’re shopping for produce as the prices are nearly triple what you will pay at smaller nearby markets. Lastly, the staff is clearly careless. They seem to not care for their customers, but rather just show up to work to stock shelves. It’s a terrible shopping experience. Avoid it at all costs.

See attached photos for what 9:15 on a Tuesday night looks like at this place. 15 minute lines for 2 items… Terrible

I would say that this Safeway was average. Parking was not difficult here to find, but it was busy inside. Came here to buy some groceries to cook at home. The employee that helped us out with the sea food was helpful.
For a busy Safeway, it was surprisingly well-​kept. The bathrooms here were also clean! At first, I was concerned because there was a homeless man inside and he went into the bathroom as I was leaving and an employee followed him and escorted him out.
I also keep forgetting that in California, you have to bring your own bags. I’m from Chicago so they bag everything for you without a fee.

This Safeway is bar none the worst I have ever shopped at. I found their employees, especially the manager at night (heavy set asian man) to be very unhelpful and borderline rude. I have experienced this on more than 1 occasion. The manager however is the reason his workers feel it okay to look at me when I ask a question like I am a complete nuisance. The manager has taught them this behavior with his actions.
Supposedly I interupted his lunch. Well if your the only one in the entire store that is able to make a decision, dont be so obvious in letting your customers know you are so frustrated with them. Should we the customers wait until you have finished your lunch?
He interupted me several times, and did not care one bit about what it was I was trying so desperately to get across to him. It was quite evident that your main concern and focus was getting back to stuffing your face.

I went twice to Safeway to get some of their fried chicken
once on Friday 24July15 and again on Monday 27July15
on Friday morning, there was chicken setting in the warmer,
with the lights off going cold but the worker refused to sell
me chicken saying they were not open yet? (But the rest
of the deli and sandwich shop was open
Monday I went to get some chicken since I missed out on
Friday and then there was no chicken in the warmer at all
the worker told me the deli was not selling fried chicken
today but I could buy some of the packaged fried chicken from the
shelves (but in the mean time she (the worker was passing free baked wings
to a construction guy)
This Safeway is really been a let down lately and you never can find
any one to help you, Dont try calling cause they never answer either
and if they do you will be put on hold for ever
They do need to close this Safeway Down and build housing,
maybe even put a food co in the lobby (lol)

Anything and everything you need you can get it at Safeway! Everything is neatly organized. The fruits are fresh, meat is fresh. They have a respectable array of bombers to choose from. Came here to visit and had to buy some little stuff a few times but found everything I needed. One thing I would recommend is clean up the bathrooms! There was water everywhere (leaky stall?) and everything looked totally unkempt. A huge stark contrast considering how clean and sophisticated the rest of the store looked.

OK Unilocal I will write a review of Safeway, quit nagging.
This is pretty much a standard Safeway, produce, canned food, frozen food, Starbucks… you know the drill. Being California they stalk a good selection of booze.
Service is… is there service? well I guess at the registers. Tthough if you want a person your going to wait for it. I usually self checkout.
Note this is San Francisco bring your own bag. There are none in self check out, a dime each at the manned stations.
The great thing here is they are open ²⁴⁄₇ so when I get hungry at odd hours or when I realize I forgot to pack something I need, they are always there for me… as long as I survive the people who seem to live in the parking lot.

The best Safeway in San Francisco.
The cleanest, the best stocked and the friendliest employees.
If you’re looking for entertainment this is a great place to go. Their are always so many Looney Tunes Bins stealing wine and getting caught and The front almost looks like a homeless shelter, but not to worry everyone in front is harmless. I guess there’s nothing Safeway can do and I must honestly say I don’t mind that at all.
They do have a good selection of organic produce, an amazing selection of wine and alcohol, and bread for days! my favorite kind of bread is the Dave’s Organic. a must try.
Conveniently located inside of the store is a Wells Fargo and an ATM machine.

I will continue to return here, and always get a kick out of it.

I go to this one, because it’s close to home… but I don’t like it.
The parking lot is scary. Lots of homeless, not very well-​lit, and you WILL be approached and panhandled. You just will. Lots of security outside of the store, but they look so sketchy that you’re not sure that you feel safer than with the homeless folks.
Interior is a standard Safeway. Slightly less clean and well-​kept than many. Because of the aforementioned sketchiness, you have to wait for someone to unlock the liquor cabinet to get anything, which is a hassle and a reminder that you’re in a scary place.
It’s a last-​resort kinda urban supermarket. If you work elsewhere, shop near work and just avoid if possible.

Grand supermarché fort pratique pour l’alimentation et les produits courants genre nettoyage, toilette…
Ambiance agréable à l’intérieur, on voit que l’éclairage, la disposition des rayons etc. ont été soignés. Le rayon des fruits et légumes en particulier est assez chouette. Offre bio («organic») assez développée, vous pouvez faire toutes vos courses en bio même s’il existe un petit magasin bio juste derrière le supermarché, sur Church St., pour une ambiance sans doute plus cosy.
Il y a des caisses automatiques comme chez Auchan :-) donc on n’est pas dépaysés et ça va vite. Si vous passez aux caisses traditionnelles, on vous met vos articles dans les sacs (en papier, payants), on a beau le savoir c’est toujours surprenant…
Par contre, celui ou celle qui peut m’expliquer pourquoi le savon, entre autres, est enfermé à clé dans une vitrine pour l’ouverture de laquelle on doit appeler et attendre un employé, comme si c’était un vin fin ou du caviar, ça résoudrait un gros mystère pour moi…
Présence dans le supermarché d’une pharmacie et d’un traiteur asiatique.
Open 24h of course. (Je me demande qui achète sa salade à 3 heures du matin…)
