    Ordered on 7/27.....yet milk is 12 days past sell by date!

    This store sucks!!! I ordered groceries online several times ,and on 2 occasions I received items that were stale. I use the delivery service, because sometimes it's convenient when I can't make it to the store , but enough is enough. Yesterday (July 27th) I received milk that was 12 days past the "sell by" date(July 15th). The sell by date lets the store know when to take it off the shelf. However, even when unopened it's still recommended only 7 days past that & this was freaking 12!! I have called the store in the past, about other items and was placed on hold for long periods of time, only for someone to finally pick up and slam phone down. I like Safeway, however I will never order online again, since I can't change the store that delivers to my home. I will continue to shop in person, at the store located on Crain Hwy. in Upper Marlboro!They never disappoint, however the Fairwood store sucks!!!

    Today, I visited the seafood dept to purchase a few pounds of cluster crab legs. After my purchase I asked the woman whose name begins with a T if she had dungeness crabs. She pointed to the clusters and said those were dungeness. I corrected her and pointed to the sign that read cluster. She said well we call those dungeness and if it's not we don't have any. T if this post is shared with you. I inserted a pic of the ad. You're welcome.

    Thank God for Wegmans! I love that Wegmans is clean, well stocked, reasonably priced, and always has many checkout lanes open. Wegmans has high quality in-store made products, great seafood, local favorites, great prices on daily staples, and regional specialty items. The staff at Wegmans are professional and unfailingly courteous. I know this review is for the Fairwood Safeway but a man can dream that when this store is shuttered that the grocery store gods will replace it with a new shiny Wegmans. My dreams are being deferred because of this personification of tomfoolery writ large as a grocery "store". Save your blood pressure, and hard earned coins, and drive the 6.9 miles to Wegmans. Or do not even eat. If you must come to this "store", you have been warned, you have no one to blame but yourself for all the horrors that will be inflicted upon you. Safeway corporate, have you actually shopped in this "store?" If you had you would not allow there to routinely be only one or two checkout lanes open even though the lines are snaking back into the aisles. If you ever entered this "store" you would have noticed the off-putting smells emanating from the butchery and fishmonger sections. Like old fetid meat turning rancid in the display cases. Have you circumnavigated the aisles with the overflowing end caps and displays that are purposefully placed in the aisles causing beltway like cart pile-ups? Have you used the dirty carts and actually seen the filth as I have? Have you had the gross experience of going into the disgusting restrooms that have me recollecting fondly upon more pleasant facilities at rundown gas stations and dive bars? I see the bathroom check lists with initials that indicated the time and date it was cleaned and inspected, but I know those are damn lies or, to be more optimistic, merely aspirational goals. Have you compared the highway robbery prices of your subpar products to any other superior competitor products with their lower prices for superior goods? If so, you would be ashamed. Just like I am ashamed that I am even admitting, on Yelp no less, to having gone into this place on multiple occasions for the convenience. Surely, you have seen the old rotting fruit that is both highly priced and underwhelmingly appealing as displayed. Would that the only reason you resorted to stocking grade B fruit was to compete with a low budget corner bodega that was stealing your customers by undercutting your prices on the same grade B fruit. That I could have understood. But that same B graded fruit sold at Wholefood's prices...you must think we are too stupid and/or lazy to realize that this "store" does not value our dollars. Have you seen your rude ass staff interact with customers? That's right, you trained them and continue to retain them. I wish ill-will on no one, not even this running joke (and not a very funny one) of a "store." However, the day that it shutters its doors will not be unexpected. May the new Lidl being built right around the corner hasten the demise. I know that I usually would not want to see the employees suffer when, not if, this store closes, but they are a large part of the problem. Hell, they cannot even keep the bathrooms clean and not be rude to customers who have a multitude of choices to shop for groceries that are relatively close by. Simple things!!! One star because it is the Yelp absolute minimum and the store does have the world's second most inefficient Starbucks. Ignore that mandatory star, I urge you to act like it is not even there, just like this "store" ignores routine bathroom cleaning and good customer service.

    The customer service is alway great here. I always take my time looking for certain items & even Thanksgiving day the staff was super helpful. I always seem to get the same cashier too...sweet guy. I also love to pit my number at the end and see all the money come off (regarding how much I've saved) I was also super excited b/c I got .50 off for my gas ! Gas at $2.15 a gallon !!!!!! I was able to fill up at $22. Haven't done that in quite sometime. My mom & I are always taking about how Safeway has great deals. Both she and I were so excited we talked about it the whole way home. For all intents & purposes...this is now MY Safeway.

    Awesome tortilla chips made in store! They're like the good kind you get from Mexican restaurants! So good!

    See all

    I don't have any complaints, Walmart always comes through in a clutch with my last minute needs. I…read morewill say for this location, I only go for small incidentals. The store overall is a bit cluttered and not the most organized. However, for what I need, I'm always in and out. I came last minute for some feminine products and nail clippers ..the online product locator does not always match the layout of the store so be mindful of that. As I'm looking for my nail clipper, I came across some Dr. teals products I never knew I needed...so again, no complaints from me Wallyworld! The self check out is a bit weird, as far as how to get there. It almost felt like I was leaving store with products in my hands but then I was able to find the self check out entrance.

    I attempted to do a return and spoke to cashier Pauline to directed me to someone who could assist…read moreme as it was 8:50p 5/3/26 Although there was no posting of time, the African / Carribbean female manager on duty refused to assist me or to provide me with a resolution as she was "doing something that required her time" it's unfortunate that me, a customer, wasn't something that required her time. As I am aware that every register can process returns, I asked how much time she needed to prioritize her tasks and I would be happy to wait. She then informed me that she was not going to argue with me and proceeded to walk away and continue her work behind a closed door. After closing the door in my face, without a resolution, I decided to write this review and look forward to formal store and district management to give me a call. This is awful service
