Usually this store is very chill and calm. It seems to run on a skeleton crew, which is the fault…read moreof corporate and not employees, but I rarely see anyone treat staff poorly and staff does a great job making the store look well stocked and clean. Cashiers are friendly. We popped in last night to get a few last minute things at about 6:30 or 7. Self-checkout was closed early, so there was a very long line for the single, lonely cashier. Still, it looked like people were being patient and calmly waiting. Grabbing some sausage from the back of the store we could hear someone screaming profanities and throwing things around, or slamming things around. Retail sucks, we both worked many years at large retail chains, so we get it, and we just ignored it and let the guy have his moment out of the eye of customers. We got all 5 things we needed and headed to the front of the store. I picked up a loaf of bread off of the floor someone else had knocked down and just left; I joked to my friend that it would hopefully make the guy in the backroom have a marginally easier night. We lined up for checked out and someone at the front of the store slammed something down. It sounded like they just dropped an empty pallet, it was really startling. Then this employee just started coming UNHINGED, shouting over the store intercom at everyone that we needed to leave the store so he could close early because one of the other employees would be leaving in 5 minutes and he had too much sh-- to do. When he hung up the phone, he screamed that he wasn't joking and that we all needed to leave NOW as he cursed about how understaffed they were and how he had too much to do. The other two employees looked very uncomfortable, but didn't say anything. As he stormed back towards the stock room I got a very bad feeling and he literally triggered my fight or flight mode and I began to panic. My friend looked at me, confused about what to do, but I told him I really, REALLY did not want to get shot and dude was giving full-on going postal vibes/dude snapped and goes mass shooter vibes. It was one of the most terrifying situations I've been in since completing all of the surgeries and chemo for my cancer; I didn't survive all of that just to get lit up by some deranged Safeway worker with too much on his plate who clearly has no ability to cope with high stress situations. NOBODY should get mass shooter vibes off of a store employee. He shouldn't have been put in that position by management, but he also should have been vetted for his ability to handle stress before being moved up the ladder. It seemed that he was the person in charge on site at the time. I did my time in the trenches of retail and was a department manager at a huge chain for multiple black Fridays - I understand the stress. It's absolutely not for everyone. If you can't vet your leadership team and appropriately staff your store, we'll be at the Fred Meyer from now on. Absolutely appalling situation. I felt awful for the guy, but he had no right to strike fear into customers because he reacted violently and inappropriately to a run of the mill situation like being understaffed. You just cannot be kicking kiosks, dropping pallets, cursing and shouting at people and getting into a fist fight with a wall, or pallet in the backroom. Crashing out like that shows a lack of ability to control impulses and with so many people running around with guns, it's a recipe for disaster. Get this guy on leave for some mental health treatment options and start staffing your stores right. This never should have happened. Several other customers dropped what they had in line, and bailed to end up at Fred Meyers alongside us. Fix this!

I typically always use the pickup option through the app and as long as I select backups for…read moreanything they are out of, I seem to have great luck. Sometimes the produce will not be fresh but besides that, I typically always get what I requested in my order. Additionally, there are online coupons in addition to the sales. Plenty of pickup parking spots and they come out very quickly. Staff are friendly and prompt.
