    Don't go in line this employee works on.

    Not my photo but I had my own experience with this employee. I understand they're going by policy & need manager power for approval, but there's a better way to deliver your words without sounding like you're having a bad day. It sucks that this is my regular Safeway and it makes me not want to come here any more because of the energy she gives off. She even asked me to put the basket down off the belt rudely. I didn't even do anything but just get in line. There wasn't even a sign to put the basket down to unload. I've worked in customer service myself and sometimes you gotta fake a smile. Someone else might be having a bad day as well. Be kind. UPDATE: I learned through previous reviews that this person name is Elizabeth. This needs to be resolved as this is a trending issue at this location. PLEASE RESOLVE.

    The best Safeway in the area... But, is that saying much?! The parking lot is an absolute shitshow! Be very careful. It is very tiny and probably built in 1960 when only a few hundred people lived in Newark now it's a whole strip mall with a bank... Still only 50 or so spots to park. Walking in during any holiday is gorgeous! The flower dept is second to none. You kinda get hopeful that this is gonna be a really nice Safeway. It's your average store. If you know Safeway you know the products and brands. Bakery is good. Deli is fine, they don't all have the same stuff so this deli doesn't carry everything the other's do. Produce dept. is good... Small Starbucks inside... yes, you can use your app... yes you can score your free birthday drink. Didn't see the red xmas cups they're advertising on TV...yet...

    Water $1.88!

    Honestly, I'm not sure what to think about my local Safeway anymore. In the past year or so, we've had three different store directors running the show. The only one I knew was Karie Lahr, as you would see her around the store and working the customer service and I've chatted with her before about store issues. But alas, she is gone and was replaced by Krystal Canales, but apparently based on reviews below she was not liked at all...and alas, they've gotten rid of her too. Boy, she didn't last long at all, maybe only a few months? Currently, the store director is David DeCosta, let's hope he's liked and hopefully he'll stay and make a difference for our local Safeway. It's hard to see if any changes are really happening when you have so many different store managers running the show. I honestly though Karie Lahr was starting to make a difference here, but now she's gone. She cared about what customers had to say, and always tried ti ensure they left the store satisfied. I guess only time will tell whether or not this Safeway shows any improvements. So far, the lines still are long during certain hours, and they did add more self-checkout machines. Although, some things still haven't improved such as having hand baskets in the front by the entrances, often times you'll see them stacked behind each of the registers, and you'll have to find them there, when they should be in the front. The same goes for the shopping carts, most of the time, they don't have any up front by the entrance, they are all sitting in the parking lot, often times taking up parking spaces as the store only has two shopping cart corrals in the parking lot, when there should be more. Also, I noticed since the pandemic, majority of the staff has changed as well, only a few remaining staff from pre-pandemic, I guess most of them have quit, or transferred elsewhere? Not sure, but mostly see new faces now. Hopefully this store turns it around with new and (hopefully) better management!

    I will give a negative one star if I could. Elizabeth is the rudest cashier I have ever experienced. Customer service is terrible!

    My uncle and I were looking around Foodmaxx to see if there's anything to get there. It's basically…read morea discount version of other groceries I usually go to. They have all sorts of sections like dairy, meats, vegetables, etc. Usually, they would have deals like where you have to get a specific amount of items for the item's price to be discounted, but they don't label the original prices which I don't know why. Also just like other discount grocery stores I go to, they lack options like I couldn't find any Oatly products as well as flavored sodas like Cream Dr. Pepper. It's only good if you're coming here to get generics and if you care less about specifics.

    The service here is kinda slow at the cashier because there's usually just one cashier lane open…read moresometimes two. I enjoy the low prices here, but don't forget you get what you pay for here. The past two times I picked up New York steaks, I brought it home and it was slimy on the bottom side and on closer inspection was browning from being too old(I should have checked closer at the store, but I feel like these things should be checked daily by staff.) These steaks smelled horrendous. My last trip I did purchase more steaks and inspected better at the store before taking it home and it was fine. Just be cautious about what you grab and you should be fine. On my last trip, I did pick up raspberries too that were moldy. I ate them when I got home and started noticing moldy ones near the bottom of the tray. I threw them away. I will admit I am too lazy to go return these items, so I do not have a comment on what their return policy is like. In summary, the prices are cool, just be cautious about the individual items you grab. My recommendation to management: Inspect the produce and meats daily, and if possible manage the lines a little bit better.
