Safeway

I noticed a woman sitting in the Starbucks area what does she do there? She should find something to do other than just sit in the break area and I see her with a man who has a lot of hair is he a security guard or what? Poor store.

Basically I come here for the gas rewards and the higher quality selection of groceries and produce. Customer service though is lacking. Associates in deli are not friendly and even avoid you so they don’t have to make a sandwich. But I want my gas rewards and bacon bits with no nitrates so I keep coming back.

Just left this location and the cashier with the man bun he was very un-​friendly and rude, when your in customer service you need to have some professionalism in the way you speak to people.

The deli is a joke. The ladies they have working the sandwich/​deli department are rude n seem clueless. There’s always a line but 1 person manning the area. When it’s finally ur turn to order ur sandwich the employees never greet u or even smile or conversate with u. Their attitude is as if we’re bothering them. One of ur employees even said «if u don’t smile at her first then she won’t smile at u back» then continued to tell me that that same person is the person in charge of training which makes sense since all the employees act like her. Customer service is just horrible there n not to mention it takes them 30 mins to just assemble the sandwich. Customer service, speed, and quality is definitely not here. If ur on a time crunch don’t order a sandwich ull spend all ur break waiting in line n then waiting even longer for it to be made.

If I could give no stars I would, worst customer service Have ever come across since moving here. Everyone has a different take on the rules there, everyone’s more interested in being social then helping customers. First bad experience was trying to return bottles. Big sticker in the front of the store «We Take Bottles Back». I attempt to bring them in and was very rudely told we don’t except those try the Safeway on main. Drive all the way to main and was told the same thing. Take you sign down if you don’t take bottle returns!!! Pretty easy!!! It was fun getting dirty looks from the staff too for trying to bring back the bottles you charged me 5cents extra on to be able to return. Then there deli tells me I can’t get a breakfast burrito after eleven which would be cool if the girl before hadn’t told me their manager Martha said it is not ok to cut people off at eleven. Then today after going in several times for their burrito’s which I sub turkey instead of egg because of allergies and have always been charged an extra dollar for doing so, they call me a liar and say I couldn’t have ever had a turkey burrito for only $ 1 more, it would be $ 6.00. Never going back!!! Get your $h*t together Safeway!!!

Salinas has the WORST pharmacies all around I’m not sure what is going on here. Safeway originally took my prescription information down and was prompt on answering the first call I ever made. I now know that was a total fluke and should have bought a lotto ticket because that must have been a lucky chance. Since then I called back to ask if it was ready upon never receiving a call just to learn they never actually called my old pharmacy and transferred my prescriptions. I need to stress by then I needed that prescription that day and gave them two days to get it all together. I have been trying to refill it for the second time and when I call I don’t even get an options menu it just says all systems are busy and hangs up on me. Randomly after the fifth time calling I got the options menu and it transferred me to a voice mail for «unavailable» and «unavailable’s mailbox is full.» So I couldn’t even leave a message. Called again today and got the same ordeal. When I called for the 7^th time I got to talk to a pharmacy tech but he immediately put me on hold and then after holding a few minutes it went to the voicemail. Still waiting to just ask for a refill and then I’m transferring my prescription to the hospital I work in because this is ludicrous and Safeway should be ashamed. Thank god this is not a life threatening medication I need!

This place is always clean when I get here, very friendly I love their $ 5 Friday’s and son top of it, you get a discount on Safeway gas, so cool

The Starbucks here is terrible. The girls that work there make awful drinks. I’ve come here several times where the younger guys make delicious tasting beverages and in a timely manner. The last three times I’ve given this place a chance, they’ve been out of several basic ingredients (espresso sauce, vanilla bean powder, matcha powder). When I ordered a caffe espresso frappuccino, I saw the girl make an iced latte, then put it in a blender and serve it to me. I had already been waiting 20 minutes, and she had to remake another one of my beverages, so I wasn’t about to wait for another remake. They are never friendly and seem mad that they’re busy. Hey Safeway, train your baristas better, they’re not up to par at all.

Their «Superior Customer Service» is lacking, excepting the people working the bakery, they’re always nice. Five stars for them. I’m used to being approached my workers offering help at Safeways. Not here though, everyone always seems to be in a bad mood and i’m alsmost certain they do everything they can to avoid you. The front end staff is the worst, with the exception of the short Asian dude, he’s pretty cool. Dennis gets the crown for Rudeness King. He is clearly racist. He is clearly appalled by Latinos. I always avoid his lane when checking out. I’d rather not see that face of disgust he puts on every time. He never says a word, no hi, no bye, no thank you.

Safeway is great! But Jeeeeeeze the customer service in the deli sucks! They are always sooooo rude for no reason… but the sandwiches are delicious (: sandwiches — 5 stars
Customer service in the deli — 1 freaking star

My favorite Safeway in the area! This is one of the only reasons why I miss Creekbridge! Everyone is exceptionally friendly and the store is super clean and never feels over crowded. Safeway has done a great job lately with their Just 4 U programs and adding coupons to make themselves an affordable grocery store! MUCH less expensive than SavMart. Highly recommend downloading their app — get discounts while you walk through the store and add items to you list so you can have instant savings when you get to checkout!
Also convenient is their gas station right out front. Unlike the store, however this gas station is a mad house! Definitely try to fill-​up during off hours.

a decent selection but it seems overpriced for the area… especially when you can get super cheap fresh produce from el super 2 mins from here.

Some of the stuff are expensive but you can find everything you need here.

Safeway isn’t the place i am big fan of but i go here since its like in 5 minute walking distance from where i live. Well you can get everything here but prices r on a high side compared to wall mart. But they excellent customer service and excellent staff.

As Safeways goes this one is pretty nice.

I’ve been coming to this store for the past several months. Always neat and organized. I think the variety of products you can find at Safeway stores are much more than other supermarkets around. I do not really like their fruits except the organic ones (which are only a few).
I think their sales are mostly on Wednesdays nights (if you want bargains come and buy at this time you will save more.)

Today I ordered the Turkey, pesto and avocado sandwich from Safeway and I have to say it was pretty good. The only issue that I had was it took them a very long time to make one sandwich. I understand the need for quality but the quality was not equivlent to the time spent making.

I visited this location a few times with my boyfriend when we were on vacation in Salinas visiting my family. The location is clean and the shelves are stocked pretty well. The selection was good and the employees seemed friendly. We didn’t interact much with them though because we used the self checkout.
Oh, and if you have a Dominicks card or Safeway card from another location (or out of state in my case) you can still type in your number and get deals on certain items. That was a plus.
Our Dominicks card worked at the gas station as well. You can save a little bit if you enter it in.
The only downside I saw was just with the gas station. It always seemed to be packed no matter what time of day we visited.

I love grocery stores, especially when they are properly ventilated and absolutely when they are open all day. I keep these businesses alive. I love the morning and the evening staff; the morning and afternoon staff are awake and friendly with other staff members, creating an ideal space for customers who do not care for small talk but appreciate a pleasant atmosphere. And the late-​night staff are efficient.
There are one or two creepy employees, but they seem harmless or aware of it.
The gas is watered down, though. That’s the catch with the Safeway Club Card gas benefits. Lower miles per gallon, comparably.

It’s open 24 hours. There’s a pharamcy and Starbucks located inside. If you’re low on fuel, the Safeway gas station is right there. Staff is always friendly and the store is well kept and stocked.
