Safeway 151 Walkers Village Way, Walkersville, MD 21793

"Fantastically helpful customer service, as always, with great product selections all around. (Including things I simply don't find elsewhere!) I'm also very grateful for their decision to make a designated clearance section in the back of the store! It's in a very nook-like location, out of the way, making it much more comfortable and convenient to actually browse the marked down items! I love shopping at this location and highly recommend it!"

"Good prices. Excellent specials. Nice selection of fresh groceries. Never crowded. Very clean. The pharmacy line moves fast if there is a line. Vaccine appointments are fast and easy to schedule online or just call. This is not a hectic store or pharmacy."

"The store offers convenience in an otherwise food desert town. It is disappointing that self-service checkout registers are now installed. Management would be wise to always have at least one full-service register open at all times. When I visited, I noticed that the full-service registers were closed. When an employee (20 y/o? female w/long straight hair) sauntered up sipping her big drink, I anxiously asked whether full-service registers will routinely be open at all times. She proceeded to mock me with slow-roll speech stating, "A r e g i s t e r w i l l b e o p e n i n a m i n u t e." I proceeded to ask, "W h y a r e y o u t a l k i n g t o m e l i k e t h a t?" She stated that I had, "Stormed in" and started asking questions. I was astonished by her impertinent attitude. She had zero idea how long I had been assessing the register situation. Was I in a hurry? Yes, because I needed to return to work to earn money to pay for groceries. I have worked in customer facing roles my entire career. I can't imagine EVER mocking a customer in such a intentionally condescending way. Although I entered the store in a pretty good mood, I left upset and did not purchase one thing. I will be hard pressed to return. **Update** -- Thank you for the proactive response. If the in-store policy allows for one full-service register to be open at all times, I will patronize again (and update my review). As someone with a decades long career of physically demanding work serving others with a sense of urgency, it is a welcome (albeit small) perk for a compensated store employee to scan and bag groceries that I am purchasing."

"I had a fantastic shopping experience at Safeway! The store's cleanliness and friendly staff immediately caught my attention. Bobby and John, the managers, are doing an excellent job; they were helpful and attentive to customers' needs. I was also pleased to see the store undergoing a renovation, and it's looking great! I highly recommend shopping at Safeway for a pleasant and enjoyable grocery trip."

"It's Safeway. What more is there to say? It's a good, semi-high-end grocery store. They do have my favorite eggs so that's pretty much what I go there for but I always tend to pick up a few other things in the meantime. When stuff is on sale the price is good but otherwise it's pretty pricey."
