Safeway

I like my Safeway, typically well stocked and clean.

Safeway has crashed and burned since they were purchased by a hedge fund. They are gutting the stores, staff and budget. I'm sure they are hoping to dismantle the chain and sell it for parts and real estate. I feel so bad for the employees. It must be awful for the long term ones.

Customer service won’t see anyone after 7pm. Lazy security guards browsing their phones. This Safeway should definitely close.

My favorite Safeway! Unfortunately, Safeway has had to make numerous changes to deal with flash mob shoplifters as well as the genuinely hungry. Without going into all of the societal reasons for these problems, I understand Safeway must do something to deal not only with theft but the general unpleasantness for their customers these issues can cause. Safeway is not the only retailer who has had to institute practices that, at times, are frustrating and feel inconvenient. Something as simple as a Cadbury Chocolat bar will often be behind a locked case. Usually, the staff answers the ask for assistance, but Safeway is quite often very busy. It's inconvenient but not a serious Is annoyance. However, a week or so ago I had a frightening, very unpleasant experience. I love the fact that the Market St store is open 24 hours. I live in Northbeach, and usually I will go to Marina Safeway. It was a weeknight, and unfortunately, I didn't get all my errands finished in time to make to the Marina location before closing so....I go to the Market location because I really needed to get some basics. I pull into the parking lot and I noticed it wasn't as many vehicles parked near the intrance as usual. San Francisco can be like a little sleepy town on some weeknights. It could not have been any later than midnight so what the heck, right? I park my little car right at the entrance in the one space that's not a handicap,. I get out of my car and head for the doors and Boom! "YOU ARE TRESPASSING" "A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU HAS BEEN TAKEN AND YOU WILL BE REPORTED TO THE AUTHORITIES" Good grief, I'm 66 years old, I've lived in San Francisco for nearly 40 years and I've never experienced anything that unsettling in all of my travels in the City or the wider Bay Area. I don't consider myself a scardy cat or a snow flake but to say I was caught off guard does no justice to the experience. I'm glad my cardiovascular system is in decent working order. Needless to say I jumped back into my little car a vacated the parking lot without hesitation. I realize this is a very long share but that experience was awful and felt extreme. I'm sure it was a it was extremely loud and Is menacing.

The bathroom code to this Safeway women's restroom is 1357

They did my baby shower cake I ordered tres leches . When I pick it up I ask 3 times are you sure the strawberry are in the middle they informed me yes. I'm at my baby shower cutting the cake nothing inside . Cmon management if you guys don't know tres leches comes with a fruit don't offer it simple. I was so disappointed . I will not be returning . And the only reason I got it here Was because I used to always get my cakes here since I was 5 and always had great service they didn't lie if they forgot something they would fix it right there. I'm now 35 . But even ordering the cake you never find anyone there you have to hunt down a employee like your management just to get help =( . I should of known then the service is completely different and lazy . It was not the same even the name on my baby shower cake look like it was rushed . The cake was alright but without the fruit tres leches does not taste the same . Even ordering it they told me I didn't have to request strawberries because it came with it . It looks like a kid wrote on this cake it looks nice but get it together . If you don't like your job please quit and give it to someone who will enjoy there job .
