Safeway

Stood in check out for 10 mins and when it was my turn to pay the cashier just turned off the isle light and walked away without a word to me or anyone standing in line behind me.Most unprofessional cashier I’ve ever encountered in my life. He needed to get off his cell phone, stop texting, and do his job.Walked out and left all my items on the conveyor. I will never be back to your store again. Good luck with him.

The store is stocked with most things but minimal variants. Mostly "the essentials" for what you need. And the price is about 15% more than near by organic stores. Furthermore the lines are crammed against the freezer isles with no more than 1-2 lines ever open so prepare for 10 min waits. The pharmacy has a public floor space for private consultation and shots with a 3/4 fabric screen. If you want Safeway still go to Lakeshore for a far better experience

Just moved into the neighborhood, on the other side of the safeway and was excited to be walking distance to a grocery store for once. However, once I got there I found the prices to be extremely high compared to my old safeway in Albany. Virgin olive oil close to $15 for a small bottle, Safeway brand spices almost $6 - in fact all of the safeway brand items were $2-$3 more than what i'd seen at the Albany location a week ago, so it isn't just the national inflation. Way fewer items on sell. My order of about $120, which was: a steak ($9 - probably the cheapest item in my basket), mushrooms, dishsoap, dish scrubbers, one container of safeway brand garlic powder, one tube of garlic paste, a synthetic loofah, 1.5 liter coke zero, one bag of salad, one bottle of motoko miso salad dressing, one bottle of safeway brand spray on olive oil, a stick of butter, and one bottle of safeway brand thousand island. The total discount was only $11 once all was said. There weren't a lot of options, and the entire aisle of self care products, shampoos, soaps, etc, was locked up with no employees in sight to help open it up. That being said, the price of Aussie 3 minute miracle was DOUBLE what I purchased it under in Albany two weeks ago, so, maybe i'll just make a trip there whenever I need to stock up on that...The one redeeming factor was the gentleman who worked at the meat counter. He was incredibly nice, patient, and responsive to questions.

I was heading to the pharmacy here, it was well staffed and efficient.The grocery aisles seemed well stocked. I was in a rush so I didn't shop. There is fairly extreme security in place, limited access to get in or out. Sadly this is necessary in this era of organized theft. Many aisles had locked cabinets for mundane items, but if this keeps the store open I am in full support of it.

went to pick up turkey dinner in the box ordered online .. 2 Asian females were rude as heck .. I provided my order number and name and they still couldn't figure it out with their printouts they had in front of them .. treat it like some sort of criminal with the Spanish Inquisition .. speaking in Chinese-Little did they know that I was quad lingal and understood what they were speaking amongst themselves .. rude and incompetent is not the way I recall of servicing for decades .. Safeway needs to send them to retraining or terminate them all together .. horrible experience at this location .... The turkey was actually pretty good mine is the service ...

Have been going there for 40yrs, getting really bad, terrible service, low quantity, a lot of the time out of supply of discounted items. Also they make it hard and confusing on the discounted items. I live 1/2 miles away, but rather drive 20min to Costco or Alameda SS Safeway

Well stocked aisles, but pharmacy is ALWAYS understaffed!

Zero stars. Inept, rude employees, lines with 12-15 people on daily basis, chronically understaffed and guards chatting with customers or on their phones. So much stealing with easy access—their pathetic attempts at staving off thievery is a joke. It’s unsafe to shop there especially perilous to park in their lot.

Fruitvale store. Worst Safeway I've ever been in. Out of sale items. Only 3 registers open on a Friday. 15 to 20 customers each. Horrible management!!!Follow-up: Safeway replied to say how sorry they were and implied they would improve. Problem is there are older comments with same complaints and customers tonight were griping about the management of the store.

Not the biggest fan of their delies. The workers act like they don't want to help. When they do they have the nerve to look down on certain people. I watch how they dig around the meat. They know the bad dry pieces not knowing that I'm well aware that it's not fresh. It's like they hire the bottom of the barrel.

Not the best store but helpful in a pinch. Staff are great as long as your patient with them. Suffers from constant robberies and angry customers with violent outbursts. Caution when bringing children here.Everytime I come here there is something wrong. Parking lot is also unsafe, with constant break in's and pan handlers, so careful leaving anything in view, but that's Oakland in general.TL;DR - Place would be good if customers didn't mess it up.

I keep coming back hoping it will get better, but it does not. Their prices are higher than Farmer Joe’s, and the lines are three times as long.

Horrible customer service. Me and another gentleman had were sent over to the customer service booth and been waiting well before 5:30. We ask another worker if anyone was going to come, he goes to the same lady that sent us to that counter and she tells him that it’s closed and closed at 5:30. That was unacceptable and inconsiderate. She watched 2 other ppl line up behind us and said nothing or tried to get us help. She was a super bi*tch

Safeway is a definite stop when I see one, as I have the "Just For U" app that gives a lot of discounts. Store was nice & clean, organized, cashier was very accommodating, pleasant. I also always go to the deli for the delicious deli made to order sandwiches. A good stop for us as we are on the road.

Not bad. Better than some other Safeway locations and they are pretty well stocked. It's small but they still to have a great selection packed in there. The parking can be a little tight and limited if theres a lot of people

I like this store. It's always clean, the service is great and the meat and produce is always fresh. The only issue I had was self check out because of the new machine. It takes a while to scan because the machine talks after each scan & it was pretty slow for me. I scan items fast & go but it took longer than usual. This store has a deli & meat department as well. Overall my experience is always good here.

I like the fresh food and many great on the go snacks love the fresh sandwiches but they did take my favorite meat from the sandwich area because it wasn't making money and there sushi make me sick but that my stomach being sensitive because my grandfather eats it and doesn't get sick but I think now I don't come as much as much because of the sandwich meat, prosciutto not being there anymore. They make great sandwiches and the bakery and deli have awesome patience they're really kind and overall they aren't bad at make food I love there produce area there fruits and vegetables are fresh and there frozen foods have many different varieties overall I just wish prosciutto was back in the sandwich area 😋 🥖😅😑😑😑

Usually have a timely cut deli meat encounter, often asked multiple times by employees with language barrier. Friend did the street is a new hire & appears to be happy. M I st recent visit: employee asked if my cart by eggs was mine. I responded, "No, I abandoned it so you could do your job; restore king it as I rolled away. Waiting for cashier was told not to block walkway; responded "she was 30 seconds ago." She then walked up and stood 2 feet to right, no mask.

I Love the early morning hours opening up at 5:00am. There shelves are stocked well. Very friendly employees ready to assist with helping customers to find products. Thank you Safeway's much appreciated 👍🏼.

I walked into the store on Fruitvale at 4pm and was informed they would no longer be making chicken tenders they were out for the day. I later found out that they closed at 6 and they could have made more. I proceeded to the seafood section and found the were sold out of lobster tails. I then asked 3 different employees before one of them could direct me to the tahini (only one knew what it was). FYI it's next to the peanut butter hope this saves somebody some time.

A well-stocked big Safeway with efficient cashiers and rarely a long wait. The parking lot often has some litter and occasionally a homeless person.Good location near the freeway and other stores. Large parking lot is rarely full.

Its OK. It'll do. They always have guys in the parking lot selling T-shirts or something but they don't bother anyone. What I really don't like is that they sell out of fried chicken like Everytime I go! And at like 4-5pm! When they should be going till 7pm! The place isn't as clean as other Safeway's but it usually well stocked except for drinks/non refrigerated drinks. Veggies sometimes look sad but that may not be their fault. They do have good manager sales in the meat department. Employees have always been kind and just trying to do their jobs, so good for them.
