Should have done more research before coming here…read more Grocery poke is surprisingly good in Hawaii, so tried to find the nearest supermarket near our hotel in Kauai. Our lunch on Day 3 had been a bust, so decided to eat in more and get needed supplies. I knew that Safeway was affiliated with Albertson's, which I THOUGHT owned Foodland (which has great poke)...so came here and bought other stuff (cause we were already there). Later found out that my assumption was incorrect. The employees here are tired of tourists, I think. The woman at the seafood counter (which has a small poke section), acted like she was doing me a favor when I asked for the rest of the fresh hawaiian style poke. When I asked how good the from-frozen ahi poke was, she mumbled something unintelligible. Cashiers don't have to be friendly but should be at least respectful, and appear as if trying The lane was open, so it wasn't too busy. She barely acknowledged us but did scan each item without being asked (and we were self self bagging). But then there was a pause to push the process to start the payment process. Then another long pause after I had entered my credit card. Then another pause to print receipt. Then finally after printing, she grabbed the receipt without looking at it and just stuck out her hand AT me to grab without looking at me. The last two actions were happening while she was having a funny (to her) conversation with a co-worker. Not good when two employees together are acting like this without shame. A part of me wanted to lightly slap her receipt-holding hand and tell her "Didn't your mama teach you manners?". Purchases: -- 2 bagels ($1.19 each) -- small Lucerne milk ($2.89) -- small cream cheese ($5.99) -- fresh (not frozen) ahi tuna ($29.99 per pound, paying $21.29). -- six pack can of Maui Brew Mango Beer ($14.99 with Dep fee of $0.30 -- PB Blondie Bestie ice cream from Ben and Jerry, pint for $4.99 (normally $8.99 but on sale so very good price...needed to download the Safeway app since my Von's or Albertson's card doesn't work...had good free wi-fi in store).

Which is pretty cool. Must have a big population of them here. To my surprise they also had a huge section of Japanese products which included a Don Quote section. Really nice. I was looking for my vitamin gel but they didn't have it. I always get that in Japan. We got two different pokes here. One previously frozen and the other the guy said was fresh. They were just ok. Not as fresh as what we had for lunch at one of the country clubs at the golf course. No biggy. More places to eat at. Always worth a look since they have so much stuff. If you are BBQ or cooking at your timeshare this is the place to go. They staff are really friendly. They thought we were locals heheh. We get mistaken a lot for it.

I purchase a baby Einstein product at $45 at Walmart. Same week saw item at Target for $35.99…read more Today- July 25, Walmart refuses to give price adjustment on an item purchased within return policy because it was said to me by sales associate " we have to pay shipping"- we who? The company or the customer; well did Target pay the $10 shipping. So I could then use $10 in gas driving back to get the item , return it to Walmart promptly and purchase what I desired at Target. I'm not pushing to promote Target, but yet buyers compare shop before on line or store ( I like stores) purchases. Buyers beware: Wal-mart has raised its prices on majority - 90% of their products sold by as much as 45% since in less than 8 months .

I politely asked if she could reprint my receipt because my grandma didn't grab hers and someone else had taken it. She told me I had to wait for a manager, and while handling her scanner, she dropped it directly on my foot on my toe. I said "OW!" loudly because it genuinely hurt, and instead of apologizing or even asking if I was okay, she simply said, "I'm just trying to help." No apology whatsoever. I went to wait with my grandma and later came back because I thought she was looking for me. Instead, she yelled at me, "I TOLD YOU TO WAIT OVER THERE!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to me that way. Thankfully, the manager eventually helped me and provided the receipt I needed. Diane seriously needs to work on her customer service and communication. Customers should not be treated this way, especially when they are being polite and simply asking for assistance.

This location offered a wide variety of food options, including ready-made meals, hot foods, deli selections, and more, making it a convenient stop for quick bites or grocery shopping. What stood out most was the handcrafted sushi selection from Zenshi. There was an impressive variety of rolls to choose from, including California Rolls, Spicy California Rolls, Crunchy Rolls, Rainbow Rolls, Crunchy Shrimp Tempura Rolls, and Seaside Combos. They also offered additional items like Summer Rolls, Big Wave Poke Bowls, Spam Norimaki, and Calamari Salad, which added to the overall selection. I decided to try two Rainbow Rolls. The quality of the sushi was decent; not bad, but not particularly outstanding either. The taste was tolerable enough, especially considering the fairly reasonable price point. Overall, Safeway provides standard food offerings for customers and gets the job done. Clean grocery store and well-stocked along with plenty of parking and friendly associates.
