A small line formed for the donuts made in-house while I was picking out my item. I went with an individually packaged cinnamon roll from the breakfast table. Price pre- and with tax was $1.99 and I was able to pay via self check-out, which opened to customers after I arrived and before I checked out. The parking lot was large and workers friendly. It was a cinnamon roll with a hearty portion of cream cheese frosting, which as a cream cheese frosting enthusiast I quite enjoyed. The roll itself was well cooked and the cinnamon not too overpowering after the first of couple bites. It came in a tight bowl of sorts within the main container, which made eating the cinnamon roll much less messy than it might have been without the bowl.

My son was a fan as they even have cute little kid carts to push around. I did go against better judgment and try the produce there one time...it was moldy when we got home but wouldn't recommend produce/meats at a discount store.

So, I stopped in at Fred Meyers in Snohomish yesterday. Here's my review…read more.. I was INUNDATED with...wait for it...nice and helpful employees. Yep. Okay, I admit, this is not exactly breaking news for those of us who shop here on a regular basis but that doesn't mean it doesn't need to be noticed. For example, let's talk about Kathy at the seafood and meat counter. There was this lovely customer in one of the little motorized shopping carts who needed assistance and Kathy was incredibly kind and helpful. I know, I know, that's her job, but she did it with a smile and a lot of patience. How cool is that? She also made sure to acknowledge me, and other customers as they approached, to make sure we knew she saw us. Like they say, it is the littlest things that are so appreciated. My checker, May, was a sweetheart; helpful, friendly and super-efficient. We got through almost the entire order, and I realized I had forgotten my ID in my truck (apparently 60-ish is the new 21 Hahahaha but having owned a C-Store I have no problem with following a protocol that can be quite expensive if not followed). She could not have been more understanding, pausing my order as I dashed outside to fetch it. No rolling of eyes, no judgement, just a "customer-first/no problem" attitude. And, as I was heading out with my wildly full cart, I couldn't help but notice this gal (I found out her name was "Bella" from Elly, another delightful employee at customer service) who was happily dashing between checkout stands helping bag groceries wherever she was needed. It goes without saying (but it shouldn't) that their produce is fantastic. Their fresh flowers are gorgeous. The Copper River salmon I bought from Kathy was incredible...I could go on and on. Oh, and the lavender plants they had out front for $8.99 a piece? WOW! YAY! I know I can forget how much work it takes to make a big store like Fred Meyers run well. I also believe it is proof positive of great management within that store when it does. Employees who trust in their bosses work harder. It's just human nature. We are blessed to have this particular store in our town. Go there, you will agree.

The building seems to be new and clean. Shelves are stocked for the most part. I usually find what I need when I go grocery shopping here. The store is well organized and seems to have gone through a slight remodel in the last year with new displays and signs. They also expanded their check out lines and have 5 self service check outs. These seem to go quickly. They other lines seem to take forever though so I always do self check out. The customer service needs improvement though. I've tried telling the checker the app has a lower price and show her my phone. Especially because there are NO PRICE CHECK MACHINES. She said they don't price match. And that was over 8 months ago. I've never had that issue before. Seemed a little lazy to me because she didn't want to price match. She told me I could purchase it online and come back to the store to pick it up. She didn't offer the customer service counter or ask a manager. I've had other checkers fixed it with no issue. So I avoided her lines when I come into the store because she's not very friendly and slow at check out. I've asked other employees about a price checker machine like Target has and they say to use the app. How can I use the app if they WONT PRICE MATCH?? It's so frustrating. I try to avoid doing a store pick up. Every single time I've ordered it's been an hour or more past the pick up window. I think 3 hours so fill an order is crazy. Especially when I have kids and naptime I need to plan a round. So when I have a set time it should be in that pick up window. Especially since same day pick up is like unheard of at this location. It's usually next day pick up available. That's why I usually shop at Target for same-day. It's so unreliable.

Poor customer service at the Customer Service desk!! Go figure…read more As it happens, we checked out at the register directly across from the customer service counter, which was empty. Only one female employee was there. My friend finished his purchase of sunglasses and a few other items and was told by our checker that the customer service clerk might have scissors to cut off the tag. She took the glasses, snipped off the tag, then paused before handling them back, and asked, 'Do you have a receipt?'. You can't make this up. Just more harassment and ignorance on the part of nearly non-English speaking store employee. Ridiculous that this store cannot provide decent service. On top of that, my friend was so insulted that he completely forgot to pick up the 2 bags of ice he bought. We have the receipt. We were vowing to never return but we might tomorrow to pick up the ice. We live 14 miles away, not a quick jaunt back to the store. Furthermore, the store security followed us around the entire store. From garden to sunglasses, to beer to coffee. Actually, all the way to the register. It would be laughable if not so ludicrous. Serves us right for going to a damn Walmart

I'm very impressed with this Safeway's Fresh Cut and customer service on Valentine's Day!…read more It was crazy busy, and the three employees I spoke to seemed upbeat and motivated. The Starbucks gals were all smiles and even looked for me to give me my wrap. The main lines were LONG. I was only purchasing a fruit cup from fresh cut produce, so I went to floral. These ladies are having their busiest day of the year and the older lady there, (I believe her bame was Kathy?) said she can ring me up! That was so nice her, going above and beyond! As for their fresh cut, I worked at a Safeway doing fresh cut for a year. I know how it can be to pick all the good berries without mold, or get a bad shipment of berries with mold. Many fresh cuts i've bought from with berries will have some mold on them. However, this Safeway's fresh cut berry cups had FLAWLESS berries! No mold at all. So either their team is new, they know how to conveniently sort out the bad fruit, or got a good shipment! Glad I can eat the berries, especially in the dark, fully trusting that each one is in good condition. Whatever the cause, I was so impressed I had to come back for a berry cup after our weekend trip to Canada. Well done!!

Unfortunately, some employees have made my shopping experiences less enjoyable, and my experience today was particularly disappointing. I had a pleasant shopping experience overall. I went to checkout, placed all of my belongings on the register, and had friendly conversation with the cashier. Everything seemed to be going well, and the interaction had good energy. Unfortunately, the experience changed at the end of the transaction when there was an issue regarding plastic bags. I had purchased several heavy drinks and other belongings, and throughout the transaction I was never asked how many bags I would need. After the cashier had already completed and charged me for my entire order, I realized I needed additional bags to safely carry everything. When I asked for the extra bags, the cashier became upset and told me I would need to pay an additional $0.50 on my card. My concern was that the transaction had already been completed, and the cashier had not asked about bags before finalizing the payment. Since she was aware of the number of items I had purchased, I felt it would have been reasonable to address the bags before completing the transaction. When I expressed my concern about the situation, her response was extremely rude and inappropriate. I did not want to cause a scene or make anyone uncomfortable, so I simply told her to have a great day and left. I am not someone who wants to create conflict, and I understand that employees can have difficult days. However, the way this situation was handled was unnecessary and left a very negative impression after what had otherwise been a pleasant shopping experience. I hope management will address this situation, as the owners clearly put a lot of effort into advertising the store and creating a positive customer experience. It is unfortunate when an interaction with an employee undermines that effort.

Great place for reasonably priced groceries and friendly staff!…read more I came by for my grocery pickup last night, and a staff member came out with my groceries pretty quickly. They had almost everything in my order even though my order was huge. I love that I was already aware of what they didn't have from the text notification a couple hours ahead as I was able to pick substitutions/decline the item entirely. I really appreciated the staff member packing my items in the reusable bags I had! Although it says that Walmart employees will do that on their website, the Bellevue staff has literally never done that before. I didn't expect it at all here, and I appreciated the member doing this for me even though it was quite cold out. I also want to add that my groceries all came in great condition! I've read horror stories of employees picking out terrible produce or nearly expired items, but that was absolutely not the case at this location.

After we waited about 10 minutes in front of the oysters Brian yelled across the seafood area asking if we were ready and we said yes. He never walked over and waited to hear what we wanted all the way from the fish area which already made my wife uncomfortable and mentions to me "he seems like he's going to be rude" by just his demeanor. Once finally approached I pointed out there were 3 large bags in the oyster tank and the bag that was open was 1/2 way sticking out of the water and i specifically asked for a dozen from any of the other bags that were completely submurged to avoid any potential food poisoning. and his response was a rude as can be "Nope, I'm not opening any other bags if you want oysters you are picking them from that bag". I was mind blown and in shock as a long time customer being spoken to like this was insane. For years even before this was "Town & Country" we have been shopping here and have always had such a pleasant experience with every encounter except this guy.
