Safeway

Being in another Safeway reminded me of the friendly service I received here when I came in to buy some cans of beers to drink at the beach, and grab some cash to help out a couple of kids out front raising money to play baseball. The store was busy, and when I was ready to purchase, I noticed nothing but large lines as far as the eye could see, but then I noticed one person all by her lonesome. She helped me out and got me on my way.

Today was our middle school class reunion so I thought that getting some sliders for everyone would be a great idea. I did some research and found that safeway did catering so I gave them a call to place the order. My order was complete and a confirmation email was sent to me. When I arrived to safeway and asked a worker about the order, they said they didn’t have one. So i decided to show them my email confirmation with the details. However, they said they didn’t get it. The employee then responded with «but it’s busy right now.» I just don’t knoe how to respond. We were just very disappointed with what safeway has given us.

All I wanted was a pair of chopsticks. I didn’t purchase any sushi, but I did get half a pound of ahi tuna poke, yet the sushi nazi wouldn’t allow me a pair of chopsticks to consume the ahi tuna poke that I planned to purchase. So at the checkout, I asked for a manager, told her she could put everything that I chose back or shove it up her orifice of choice, whichever was easier and in my usual style, stormed out like a telenovela actress whose character was just betrayed by her lying, cheating husband. Never again Safeway on La Playa. Never again.

Came here to use our WICcoupons and Eileen (at check out) was so amazing. Kindest and smoothest check out everrrr! They have organic infant meats here while the other Safeway nearby doesn’t. Yay.

Huge store, staff is very friendly, hard working. Awesome selection of ethnic foods as well. This store also has an awesome Deli staff. This store has a little bit of everything in it.

This store is dire need of a remodel, and relocation. I’ve been to many Safeway’s in the city, and it’s not that this place is trashy, but just pitiful. They workers here are rude, but I understand working for Safeway must suck in general. The store had the basic needs, but nothing really extraordinary, not that I’m expecting a lot of a grocery store. Well, if you’re in the area, have a go at!

Let me just start off by reading the reviews for this location, people act like they should be treated like celebrities at Safeway with having lights shining on them as they walk to and from their cars, having personal assistants (or servants?), their favorite songs being played, co-​op products being sold there, everything should be in stock every single second, the place needs to be reconstructed into a castle, workers rolling out red carpets as people walk, etc; there should be a 1 STAR for the annoying customers then. Give me an effing break and go to Whole Foods!!! First world problems!!!
If I saw any of these terrible reviewers in person at this Safeway I would be nauseated and re-​new my Safeway review to 2 stars for letting these disastrous people in, again. (Just kidding!)
Goodness gracious.
Anyways, this location is one of the few closest to me. Their veggies and fruits can be expensive and not always the best — just ok. Service is, well, what do you expect, it’s Safeway. If I need to find an item, they’ll kindly lead me to the aisle. All of the cashier’s I’ve come across are just mediocre and some being very friendly. It’s clean in the store.
Great for grabbing bonfire supplies! I did not know until recently they were ²⁴⁄₇. I came here at 2am to get some almond milk and cocoa powder. Bless their souls.

The worst Safeway I’ve ever seen! I’d call food inspection because it is BAD! Chicken is laying right next of fish, yes there’s a plastic wall separating it, but my chicken smelt bad, was slimy and so I just threw it out. Lot of fruits and veggies are hairy or busted. I’m not to picky on my food and will still eat food past due date, but this is to far. I’d love for someone to check on this store and make them clean up the whole place!

So I drove out here. Now that I spent time shopping here, I gave to go to another Safeway… WTF? They don’t carry what I buy at every other Safeway I’ve been to. LAME.

I actually didn’t know this Safeway was ²⁴⁄₇! I also like the fact that they have a huge parking spot here so it was never a problem finding a spot. Yes, this is in San Francisco!
The check out line was kind of long. Even the self-​checkout line.
My whole experience here was average. Could be a hit or miss for you here.

Wish I could give 0. Grade F for Safeway.
— 0 stars for your construction of THE ENTIRE FROZEN SECTION
— 0 stars for the construction taking place in the early evening; you know, super pleasant for all those getting off of work. Even more pleasant is the surprise which awaited me … No frozen food for you!
— 0 stars for ALWAYS being out of stock of 50% of things.
— 0 stars for having entire sections of aisles «cleared out.» Really, there’s no inventory to restock.
— 0 stars for customer service. Gosh, the smiling faces on the employees there. it’s truly memorable.
— 0 stars for …(yea, I’m back to ranting about the construction) having NO notice that construction was taking place.
— 0 stars for your lack of notice that AN ENTIRE PORTION OF THE STORE would not be available. I like my frozen veggies, I like my to-​go meals, I like my morning star breakfast (s), I like my frozen Greek yogurt.
— 0 stars for you calling the cops on the dude who just walked out for allegedly not paying for his alcohol. Whether he did or didn’t, do you really expect people to wait in lines for horrible customer service and an overall smelly experience. Oh yea,
— 0 stars for the smell.
— 0 stars for the lack of lighting around the exterior of your store; thank you for the consideration as I walked to my car. Alone. In the dark. With my cart, my bags, etc. «oh ma’am, would you like some help loading your items into your car?» … How sweet :) OH WAIT that never happens here. So, 0 stars for that too.
Bottom line: worst Safeway experience. They never have what you want /​expect a grocery store to have. Good bye.

I wish I didn’t have to shop at Safeway but it’s the most convenient store for me. The cashiers are on auto pilot — I’ve sometimes been asked three times in the span 30 seconds if I want help out. They don’t even listen! Today I go in for frozen peas since there was no parking at their 7^th Ave. store. Not one frozen vegetable in the store! I get that they are getting ready to renovate the store, but the have other frozen items, why not some vegetables? So I go to the deli and the guy charges me over $ 7.60 for a ½ lb. of corn salad at the deli. I bring it back and tell them he overcharged me. They corrected it, but jeez, wake up people!

Unhappy tonight at seeing a security guard follow and stand in line and escort out a homeless man as the homeless man politely buys something to drink, without bothering anyone, and stands in line to buy his one item with his own money. That is discriminatory treatment. Very disappointed.

This store is cool. The workers are nice. Too bad that Jason guy at customer service doesn’t work there any more. He was super awesome.

So disappointed in this bakery. I ordered my son a cake for his baptism. I brought in a picture of the cake I wanted and it was simple. In fact I showed the baker two other cakes even simpler and she assured me she could do what I requested she even took a picture. Mind you I had to wait for her to finish lunch before I could get someone to help me place an order. The lady who I originally talked to said «I can’t go get her cause I don’t even know when she left» just really unhelpful. I’m going to attach s picture of the cake I requested and what I got instead. Mind you I specifically told her please if you can’t do this ill go elsewhere and she repeatedly says yes she could.
” oh and she spelled my Sons name wrong” apparently she can’t read her own writing!!! How unprofessional and terrible service. Will never order from that bakery again. Management should look into that area the employees there are terrible

I detest the Deli. I live a block away, sometimes I want to come in for some chicken tenders and a coke, I’ve NEVER had a quick in and out experience.
The line is the same whether you want a baggie of MSG’d chicken protien or 3 sandwitches. You always have to wait for the sandwiches to be made.
Try to sneak in at a slow hour, they got you beat, they’ve already pulled the one guy that works it to do random tasks!
Staffing at this Safeway is a major issue in general, I try to steer clear after 6 as the lines tend to be horrendous. It could really benefit from some self-​service options.

Considering it’s in the city, this Safeway is actually pretty decent. I like that they have a large parking lot, but most of all, I love that they’re open ²⁴⁄₇! If you haven’t noticed, I’m all about everything that’s ²⁴⁄₇. They’ve really come in handy for me on those days when I needed to grab something extra early in the morning before work.
Their interior isn’t as new and renovated as the Cabrillo Safeway, but it’s not terrible either.
Their checkout lines are absolutely killer from 5 – 7 PM, which is obviously their rush hour period, so it was expected. Overall though, they’re pretty quick and I’ve never had any problems.
One morning, when I was grabbing a blueberry muffin for breakfast, the baker directed me to the freshly-​made muffins sitting behind the counter, which I thought was really sweet.

I hate this Safeway for their lack of product and service. This is my main Safeway, and I identified early on when I moved into the neighborhood that it is below the standard I consistanly recieve when I shop at other locations.
They never walk you to where something is, and too many times I would ask where something is and I would be told several locations (in front of the deli, by the butter, aile 14, 15). They don’t know their own product and at the end of the 15 – 20 minute hunt you come to find out that they don’t carry the garlic-​aioli/​polenta/​burrata cheese/​brie cheese pie/​baby kale that you were looking for that you consistently get at other locations to name a few.
Also, while waiting in line for a sandwich or something, an EMPLOYEE cut in front of me! I didn’t process what was going on out of disbeliefe and sure enough he cut, and they person behind the counter still took his order and made it. I been standing for 10 min before he cut me!
Also, if you are here at night (after 8pm) they will have 1 cashier with a line of at least 10 people. I have taken pictures it would look so ridiculouse. Even on a saturday night, its like they don’t understand when they get busy or just don’t care. So frustrating because checking out takes a minimum of 10 minutes I am not even exaggerating.

Safeway has a glacier water machine outside. just filled up and split.
buys: water .45/​gal.
–10 cents more than usual
–lst glacier machine seen in s.f. so maybe this the rate in s.f.

Worst experience I’ve ever had. I was with my wife and I wanted to order sandwich they made me wait because they said that I was with my wife and that was considered one party!
I really don’t know how you can have a Safeway on Ocean Beach in San Francisco and have such crappy employees and poor attitudes. I spoke to the manager about the dirty bathrooms and he said they would get to it probably within a half an hour I explained to him that I was discouraged and disappointed by the fact that I had to wait to have my sandwich made by a person who did not speak English.
And of course when I received my sandwich there was a whole bunch of things in it that I did not ask for just as I suspected.
If I lived in that part of San Francisco I would never use that Safeway.
