Safeway

"Went here about 10, 15 minutes ago. Had $1 on me and was starving so I got 2 packs of Top Ramen for $0.98, paid for them and then asked the customer service guy if he wouldn't mind getting me hot water out of the faucet directly across from him, about a 5 second walk and 20-30 seconds of work. Figured as a customer I would get service. Instead, the man looks at me and says, "oh, the Starbucks is closed I can't get you hot water." I said, "whatever dude, I would have gotten it for you." Then I asked a cashier if I could complain to a manager, and to my complete disbelief "Juan" the manager was the guy at the customer service desk. I said never mind, and the lady said why? I said this is the person I wanted to complain about. He refused to get me hot water so I could eat as a paying customer because I am a white male. The cashier completely believed me and apologized on his behalf, while he stood there with an evil grin smirking at me not even trying to pretend I was wrong. The racist, sexist bigotry I dealt with at this Safeway is why I will never shop here again because I would never even spend a dollar at a place run by someone who acts like skin color is an acceptable reason to discriminate against people who have done absolutely nothing wrong. As the manager, he could have absolutely turned on a hot water faucet so I could eat. The Safeway I usually go to always does and is nice to me, because it's not run by a hateful prejudiced individual who I would have moved from standing in place doing literally no work for half a minute to help make sure he can eat the food he paid for, giving customer service. Not the complete opposite. I hope that he still finds it funny as he did then knowing this review will be seen forever by every white person who looks this place up on the GPS so they know to go somewhere else."

"I just tried to purchase batteries and was completely unable to. I had to first wait for the self check out employee to unlock the batteries like they were a tier 1 substance, and then was unable to allow me to carry the batteries around the store while I shopped. When I was ready to check out, the employee repeatedly ignored me, most likely because he was on his phone dropping a juvenile amount of f bombs. I would have asked for help from someone else but he seemed to be poorly covering the customer service counter also. I left without purchasing anything."

"Stopped in during a road trip to use the restroom and woah, were they disgusting! Grossest restrooms I've been in for a long time, including some gas stations. Stains and gunk on the walls and floor suggested this place hasn't been cleaned in a very long time. Ventured over to the snack aisles to find a bag of rice cakes opened and eaten out off. Classy place."

"As a RVier and traveller it's hard sometimes to find water refill station and they have it here. They also have fresh products from fruits to bakery."

"7/9/23 The quality of Safeways fresh French bread has gone downhill tremendously. It was the best French bread you found find around here. The bread used to be long, thick and fluffy. Now, it’s short, dense and it’s more sourdough smelling than French bread and it’s tough like a baguette. It’s packed in the French bread paper, but it’s just no longer the same and there’s been more of the bag than bread. There’s so much flour all over the bread too. What is going on?"
