We randomly stopped by this location on our way home to shop for grocery. This was the best stocked Safeway/Vons wed ever been to. Every aisle looked so nice as the items were faced.Negatives: the bathroom was a bit muggy as the temperature in there was warmer.When we went to the checkout, my husband asked our cashier, Keaton, what city we were in. My husband explained that we arent from the area and are just passing through. Keaton must have misheard him, though, because he fumbled his answer and said California.We chuckled about it because it was obviously a mistake. Anyways, we told Keaton we didnt want any bags, but he must have been real hurt about the chuckle because he felt the need to charge us for two bags.$0.20 isnt much more to what we already spent, but its really the principle behind it all. Just because Keaton found a way to add another charge, he did. Very unprofessional.Edit to add: I mentioned we did not want any bags but I should have clarified that we did not buy any bags. This to mean we left the store with our hands full of loose grocery items. We understand that the $0.10/bag is the local bag fee, which is why we did not elect to buy any.

My husband bought a bottle of Excedrin migraine at this store for me because I was having the worst migraine (sweetest husband ever), but when he brought it home to me and I went to open it, I took it out of the normal cardboard box that these types of medicine bottles usually come in and when I went to unscrew the lid I noticed that the silver seal had already been completely torn off. Even though I knew he hadn’t, I was desperately hoping that my husband had torn it off for me because I was suffering and really wanted to take one! But he confirmed what I already knew, that he had not torn off the seal. I honestly debated about just taking one anyway but ultimately decided I shouldn’t. I was curious though, how many, if any, were missing; so I decided to count them and was a little surprised that all the tablets were in fact there. I still didn’t want to risk taking one though so my husband decided to take them back to the safe way where he got them but upon arriving realized he had thrown away the receipt at the time that he had bought them (not thinking we’d ever need it again).I understand that stores probably experience a lot of theft and people trying to “return” things that they didn’t actually purchase, but the attitude of the returns lady was rude and had no interest or concern in helping at all. After seeing my husband standing at the returns counter and then making him wait (as well as customers behind him) for over 5 minutes more (because he hadn’t pressed the bell) she finally addressed him, he explained the situation to her and our concern of the medicine being tampered with but she said to him that there’s nothing she can do without a physical receipt. My husband always plugs his phone number in when purchasing items there and he also told her the date he bought it and also had his debit card that he used to purchase it with and she refused to look anything up, stating “Nope. Need a physical receipt.” My husband left the medicine there and walked out.I understand that different stores have different policies and all but I find this very disappointing. The lack of concern of potential tampered medicine being sold on their shelves and the uncaring spirit that we are now $15 out and have no product is disheartening. Times are tough and even though in one way $15 isn’t that much or a huge deal, in another way it is a big loss.Being that this kind of medicine comes in a bottle that is also packaged in a cardboard box, is not really something you think of as needing to be opened to inspect the sealing prior to purchasing…but I think I’ll be doing this from now on or at least opening it right after purchasing it with my receipt ready in hand just in case.1 star for poor attitude of the returns lady and being unhelpful towards a real problem.

I normally love this store. But they have changed the self checkout to 15 items or less. Which should not be a problem except only 2 other checkstands were open and 1 of them was a 15 items or less checkstand. Doesnt really make sense especially on a holiday weekend.

Prices arent always the best deals in town, and I have gotten sick after eating the fresh prepared food here more than once. Atmosphere is great and theres a great selection of inventory, so come here when you feel like spending a little more for a bit of specialty in your meals.

Nice clean Safeway with a Starbucks inside. They have a great deli with lots of sandwich selections.

For years, I have not shopped at Safeway for years. Their fresh fruits and vegetables were very good and $$, along with the other items in the store. At checkout, I got sticker shock. If it was me, I would buy their fresh fruits and vegetables and go elsewhere for other products.

Update: Went recently in desperate need of strawberries and I swear I picked up 6 packs of strawberries ALL filled with mold. I just don’t understand. If you guys know they mold quickly are you guys not checking them every 3 days and taking out bad ones? Instead they’re left there and all $6. I assume they didn’t fix the problem sadly.Used to love this store but not anymore and I was a regular shopper too, went there 1-3 times a week. First, their produce doesn’t seem to be regularly checked upon. There will be fruit visibly molded like ALOT and avocados super old and not switched out. Also why is 1 organic avocado $2.50? I understand it’s organic but seriously, almost $3 for 1 avocado? That’s just insane and greedy. Mind you half of them are old and not even fresh. Also, I told the manager this before but no changes were made, but where they make sandwhiches, all the food is just open. There is a entrance door right by the sandwhich area so as you can imagine lettuce and all these other food items to make your sandwhich are out in the open, no covers, meaning flies are just getting on them. Wouldn’t hurt to add some covers on top of the items that are going into peoples sandwhiches and out in the open all day. Also need to update their self check out machines. When you type in tomato for example there’s like 12 different options that pop up. Manager said how 3 of those options were the same thing. I didn’t believe them and not sure if I was even charged right. Please take my concerns into consideration as someone who is regular shopper and has seen these issues over 6+ times and have seen posts regarding these matters on a local group page asking if others have noticed these issues.

Aliyah helped me with my floral arrangement. It looked beautiful. So friendly and helpful. Im afraid this type of customer service is hard to find these days. She was able to take the stress away. Thank you Aliyah in floral!
