Safeway

This place never has enough employees at the registers even though it say if there are more than like 3 ppl in a line they will open another register! Which is stupid for not doing what the big signs in front of them say! There is this lady that was so rude! I will be back once I find out her name she was not workin anymore and was in line behind me. I had some packets of water in the cart and I told the lady at the check stand that I had the waters so she could charge me for them. After the cashier charged me for everything the stupid lady behind me that works at Safeway had to put her two cents in, and asked the register lady if she had already charged me for the water in my cart?! I looked at her and was like wtf! Obviously did and how stupid if the idiot thought I would steal something so damn obvious!!! Oh how I wish remembered her name!!!

PROS: convenient, nice deli and bakery, pretty good produce and nice organics selection. Starbucks and Jamba Juice inside.
CONS: long lines at checkout, the baggers there are consistently the worst. Think meat put in your reusable bags on top of bread worst.

The best and I like the staff everyone is just so awesome and I like how they always ask how’s your day going and if you forgot something they run and get or sends someone make me feel like I’m at home when everyone is just so nice and professional

Employees are so nice here! Wide array of items and good selection of items.

The jelly is back in the doughnuts! We just went back and tried the doughnuts at the safeway bakery and the jelly filled are filled for sure. Thank you to the doughnut Baker keep up the good work, we will be back.

Cookies are good, service is good. Like this tradional look and feel than the warehouse ones.

Big, CLean, and Organized. What more couLd you ask for?
This specific Safeway Location offers you gas and incLudes an in-​house Jamba Juice.
Yay for that extra bit of convenience!

This is the «only» Safeway that serves the Tracy area, the store is basically a good serviceable store. But it could use a good cleaning, especially coming through the sliding glass doors in the entrance way, and the shopping carts are pretty dirty, & could also use a good hosing down too.
Some of the customers that frequent this store are another story… I have stood in the self check-​out lane, and have had an individual cut in line in front of me, and tell me he was there all the time… riiight?! And my fellow Safeway Shoppers… when «you» are backing out of a Parking Space, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY!!! It also does not help that this Shopping Center has several very busy establishments, and parking & leaving can be very difficult. I basically only frequent this Safeway when I «have» to pick up one, or two items, and regularly shop Brentwood, or Discovery Bay Safeway’s. Both of these Safeway’s are a lot cleaner, and the parking lots are not a zoo.

The BAKERY is the best. Seriously you can place your CUSTOM CAKE order over the phone and just need 1-Day’s notice (24hrs.) The cakes are delicious and always look beautiful. My favorite cake is Chocolate with whip cream topping (since I don’t like that sweet yucky icing stuff) Half FRESH STRAWBERRIES & HALF BANANA. They may say that strawberries are not in season but they always seem to make it for me.;0) Best Cakes & best prices.

This is usually my to-​go place for late night runs barely 5 min away from my place and open 24/​7, personally I prefer Safeway for their liquor deals for members definitely a lot cheaper than liquor stores, considering you already haven’t stocked up from Costco. Otherwise, usual commodities like milk, bread and egg does have its odd day requirements. The one thing I hate is even during normal evenings they have just one counter open with customers lining up with their huge home goods and the self-​checkout is so damn tiring due to slow support staff and bad software.
One crazy quirk in all Safeway: In self checkout you always have to press credit/​debit button on the screen as well as the machine for doing the transaction, ideally in all other places if you select at one spot both will authorize once you swipe the card but SafeWay wants you to have a longer transaction ordeal.
Good part this one has its own cheap Gas Station.

Scrooge McDuck working this morning. Sorry you opened the store early (opened at 6 but they don’t really open until 8) but no need to be a Grinch about it. Your mistake not ours. Cheer up lady, your ugly attitude isn’t very Christmassy.
Update 6 hours later: going from 2 stars to 1. This place is a joke. The worst customer service ever. I get its Christmas but you took this job knowing you would most likely work today so the piss poor attitude and charging us extra is uncalled for. Whoever manages this store (I think she was from review number one actually) should be ashamed of this place. Whomp whomp
Update. First review from Christmas. This is now January 16^th. The customer service had only gotten worse. Can the woman on the register please get off the phone and help the customers?!

This is a review on the bakery. Where is all the jelly in the jelly filled doughnuts? I see the hole and some jelly residue but no jelly. We got 12 doughnuts, 8 are jelly filled (or supposed to be) but there was less than ¼ tsp of jelly in the doughnuts if any.

Its a good Safeway and they have some food that have a great deal to buy. I’m glad there’s a café where I can order a sandwich, hot foods and sushi. Over all the donuts are okay but the cakes are really good.

So… the Safeway Gas Station is located at the busy intersection of 11^th Street and Corral Hollow. A smart move on Safeway’s part because, well… it’s busy a majority of the time. Every time that I come here, it reminds me of Black Friday and The Hunger Games combined. EVERYONE: wants gas! SURVIVOR WINS ALL! Okay, that’s a little dramatic, but it’s the most accurate picture that I can paint for someone that has never experienced going to this gas station… or any other Safeway one, for that matter.
I wish this one was like the Dublin and Livermore one: one way in, one way out. Instead it’s a free for all. Three different entrances and exits. Half the people facing one way, half the people facing the other way. People trying to drive around to one pump just to have another person pull in and jack it from the other side. You should take your blood pressure medication before trying to pump gas. Just a note, these pumps do extend out. So even if your gas cap is on the other side, you can pull it over your car.
For every $ 100 you spend at Safeway, you get 10 cents off. My family shops at Safeway, so we’re going to get gas rewards regardless. I’m not sure if it’s worth it for someone who doesn’t shop there. Their machines have become faster and don’t freeze as much as they did in the beginning. Sometimes I’ll go inside and pick up some water or a pack of gum. The station itself is usually pretty clean, trash isn’t overflowing, windshield cleaners and paper towels are stocked. Now it is open 24 hours per day, which is nice. Sometimes if I’m grocery shopping later in the evening, I’ll go get gas afterwards when no one is there. Most employees there are friendly and efficient with checking people out.

In terms of Safeway stores, I would say that this one might be above average. Plenty of parking, sufficient number of staff, not too crowded, and easy maneuvering between aisles.
There is a Jamba Juice and floral section, but there is never an employee manning them?
Good to shop here when you’re already in the middle of cooking a meal and have forgotten that one ingredient. Safeway is close by and most likely has the missing ingredient. Otherwise, prices are your standard grocery prices. If you’re looking to save money, go to Costco!

I love this Safeway it always feels safe and they always have the best gas prices, plus you can enter your phone number and earn cents off the gas!
The people inside are OK can’t blame them to be working at a gas station.

PRO: The Floral shop inside my 11^th Street Safeway always has the most beautiful Easter lilies and the friendly staff adds any special touch you need to personalize any plant for gift giving!
CON: holiday prices! Buy 1 week early for Valentines Day

This is a typical Safeway gas station, like all the rest. You type your club card number is & pray for a few cents off per gallon! There’s a good selection of drinks & snacks, the cashier is cool & the place is pretty clean every time I’ve been in there.

The worst Safeway. Every employee is in a bad mood. The Self check line is a joke. Every time I move, the sensor goes off, and god forbid if an employee has to walk their lazy asses over to me to swipe. Ugh!!!

Really like this Safeway store.
There is a Starbucks inside :-)
They have a good selection of wines and cheeses.
They have tons of fresh fruit and vegetables.
I like that they have an international section as the wife is an international globetrotting implant in the Bay Area.
Location is great too with plenty of parking.

This Safeway is okay… Neat, clean & some of the employees are nice & helpful. The deli needs to do a better job at keeping the soup cart clean, & I do wish that this bakery would do like other Safeway bakeries & actually make the peanut butter cookies taste like peanut butter.

My motivation here is diesel fuel. Safeway offers it, and unfortunately, others don’t, especially at really good prices.
I’ve been here a few times and everything goes smoothly, although it’s crazy busy at times. They should probably enforce a single direction into and out of the station. People driving around other vehicles often seem too close.
I paid a bit more than I paid at the Pleasanton location the other night, but it was still reasonable, and using the Club Card, hopefully, all of this counts toward extra savings.

I’ve never been a huge fan of Safeway. In general I feel their prices are higher than they should be for the extra value they try to provide in the service departments. I have also never felt the commitment to customer service from the top trickles down to those on the front lines as much as other supermarkets.
With that being said, I do like the Safeway here in Tracy quite a bit and I think it is probably one of the best of the Safeway’s I’ve ever been to on a regular basis.
This store tends to be cleaner than average and quite organized. Rarely do the items I want have an empty spot on the shelf when I want it. The fresh foods tend to be fresh and presented well. The crew that stocks the goods all seem to be real hard workers.
The customer service here is really good as well. I haven’t encountered the typical 30 people waiting scenario with only two check-​stands open. I can’t recall any checker being anything other than very friendly and interested in the customer having a solid experience.
If it weren’t the prices, I’d give this 4 stars. Yes, I use the app and yes, I play the game to get discounts on items I like to buy. So I’m in my phone before every trip re-​adding to my Safeway card all these discounts that are lost on those who don’t have the patience.
Will I go back? Yes, and I do frequently. When I go through the trouble of picking out deals on my app, the prices can be good. There are some items that only Safeway carries, and I drove down 11^th street all the time and there they are.
Again, great people here, very clean, well organized, but the prices don’t equal as much added value as I would expect.

I only shop at Safeway when they have a good deal on diet coke 4/​$ 10 or other products that peak my interest.
The store is clean, the employees do a good job of retrieving carts, and I have some friendly employee interactions.
I’ve purchased their store brand tortillas before and they were good– I would purchase them again.
It makes me laugh when people cram their vehicle into on of the spaces labeled ‘compact’
It’s in a good location mixed with other shopping and quick dining options.
Be careful when driving through the parking lot as people will just throw it into reverse and back out w/​o a second look/​thought and you have to stop on a dime.

Safeway has competitive gas prices so I come here often. However, sometimes I will avoid coming here because everyone in the city of Tracy comes here and it gets ridiculously crowded. On those days you typically will have 5 people ahead of you and the machines are sssoooo sssslllloooowww that you can count on a 30 minute wait.
I wouldn’t recommend trying to pump when it’s crowded unless you have the patience of a saint. In my opinion, it’s worth the extra few bucks to go to Chevron on those days.
If you drive by and its clear, take the opportunity and get some cheap gas! Otherwise save your sanity.
