Safeway Food & Drug

Bathroom was up stairs in the employee break area. was weird but you make do. didn’t turn negative until I witnessed two seemingly managers yell at a younger employee for asking for time off for schooling. she told them she needed time off and had put it on a board requesting but they continued to belittle and talk down to her in a way that made me very uncomfortable to watch on. employees shouldn’t be subjected to have their customers in their own break room and the disrespect the managers showed to their employee was hard to watch. rest of the store seemed fine, but I saw these same two employees yell at another customer for asking for a monopoly ticket after her daughter had forgotten to get one. not satisfied with their customer service

If you’re wanting something from the deli don’t bother! You’ll wait for a good 30 min listening to them gossip. The manager of this store does not care about any of this so don’t try to complain either. The frozen and produce section are great but if you want something quick walk out now and save your frustration! I used to go to the deli every day for lunch. They lost a customer! Fuck you Safeway deli.

Safeway is a MISERABLE supermarket. Once in a while I forget about my past encounters, thinking it’ll be different this time, only to kick myself when it’s the same ol’ shitty Safeway experience.
— No self-​checkout booths.
— It’s pricey and the discounts are deceptive. You might see a bright tag that reads $ 2.99, but then in fine print it reads, «$ 2.99 if you buy at a minimum of five.» What crap!
— Once I was given a Safeway gift card. At the customer service desk, I asked how much money was on it (I hadn’t used it yet), and she couldn’t tell me. She said I had to use it first and then it would tell me the balance on the receipt. That’s so lame.
— Last week, I wanted to buy a $ 25 restaurant gift card for Christmas. The cashier charged me, then realized that she didn’t know how to activate the card. So the manager came over — and she was just as clueless as the cashier. I got my money back… and bought the exact same card at Walmart without a hitch ten minutes later.
— Forget about expecting someone to greet you with any promptness or enthusiasm in the deli /​hot foods area. It won’t happen.
When I need something, I usually go to the Walmart on the south side of town.
There is a Starbucks inside this Safeway. So if you want your five dollar caffeine fix, that’s a plus.

I have been coming here for 30+ years. This review is for my visit today. I witnessed 3 employees huddled together stocking SLOWLY. I asked for assistance locating a product to be ignored. The manager seems to have his favorites as they all quickly ran outside to smoke together. Great service (she said sarcastically)

Gene was a great help when we called about getting groceries for my step-​daughter. He definitely went above and beyond. Thank you, Gene!

Stopped here for a potty break and because I had a feeling there was a Starbucks inside. Bathroom was in the way back of the store and was exactly how you’d expect a grocery store bathroom to be. Dirty and kinda stinky. Whatever.
Starbucks guy was very nice and made me a chai quickly and correctly. Not that hard to screw this one up :)
Parking lot is adjacent to a gas station and has an oddly placed curb separating the street from the parking lot.

They raise their prices on basic food items about 3x or 4x more than the same exact items found in Wal-​Mart. The little beady male manager with the mustache is quite weird.

Thank you, Safeway! After several customers voiced concerns, the management responded positively and decided to turn off the midnight music madness. The local police have also stepped up patrols in the area, too– no more baseball bats needed. Great improvement!

A moderately sized Safeway in my little town.
Surprisingly large fresh fruit and vegetable section.
Decent deli.

Rule one for eating out around here is don’t try to get directions from a local place, they give them as tho you lived in town one hundred years. Use a map or the hotel staff and a map, or go before dark sets in.
Rule two – don’t bother if Valentine’s falls on a Monday, even 6:45 is too late.
Rule 3 – the Safeway has very extended hours because this place can get very dead and it is very hard to find the newest open hot spots on the web. You might want to ask around as soon as you get into town. I’d say ask at breakfast if you can.
Thank goodness Safeway, center of town, a couple of blocks from the BW, has a «prepared» meals section and it was not yet closed right about seven. I got three salads and fruit. Sorry to say, one of them gave me the runs the next morning.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
