i would have rated this store at least a 4 a few years back when I first started shopping here. Rewinding back to that time, I use to love to shop here, store is very close to me which is convenient since I don't own a car, the store is very clean, fresh nut bar and bulk products offered and for the most part most of the employees were friendly. Today, I cannot stand to set foot in the store unless I absolutely have to. I have chosen to venture further out and to pay more for my groceries at other stores like Whole Foods and QFC because Safeway is just not up to standards any longer. Let's start with what they offer, im a vegetarian who continually tries to eat clean, Safeway use to provide me with all the goods I needed, until the bulk section and nut bar where removed. Really?!! That's when I had to start looking at other stores for my nuts, beans, raw almond butter, and steel cut oats. Next, fruits and veggies use to be up to standards. Now it's not uncommon to find fruits and veggies with mold growing on them, yuck! So without these things, it's pointless for me to shop there. Third, a couple of the cashiers are just down right nasty, and get on the defensive when you ask them for help. I'm not sure what there names are, but if I MUST go into the stores, anytime I see any of these two employees, I just want to run out of the store. You will find these them working at the self checkout, they both wear glasses, I'm sure you know who they are. So if you don't mind ok produce, unfriendly cashiers and less fresh products this is the place for you. If not, your better off going to qfc in Bellevue or Whole Foods. read more
