I come to Safeway every week , but prefer the Modesto Safeway instead . I purchase deli meat every week and for some reason they will not shave it for me at the Turlock Safeway . Modesto does it without hesitation . So I got that's my go to now . Also they're much more polite and they don't ever close the deli early like Turlock has done several times . read more

Nice location and very convenient. The store had everything I needed, and I appreciated how clean and well organized it was. I used the self checkout and didn't interact with any staff, but the process was smooth and hassle free. read more

Great floral selection anytime I stop in. I have been coming here for variety bunches or custom made bouquets for years. I especially lucked out with gorgeous flower bunches for my reception! Everyone we worked with in the floral department was amazing and ensured our flowers looked fantastic for us to be able to make DIY table decorations the day of our event read more

Service is horrible...only one person is working sandwiches and 1/2 price chicken on Fridays needs more working staff

The Manager is a piece of work, I ordered a full sheet cake $70.00! It was humiliating! I took pictures took them in and showed the assistant manager, he was very appropriate apologized and said he would have to speak to the manager. I left my contact information my receipt and pictures of the cake. 4 days NO contact from the manager. I go back to Safeway only to hear that I can't get a full refund because I didn't return the cake. Also an employee tried to scam me out of $20 telling me he lost $20 in the store and asked me if he could get gas money. Manager had NO problem with this, told the employee I didn't like him. I don't know him, he was slicing my deli meat! The story goes on and only gets worse, moral of this story Shop at Costco! I got a cake 2 days later for a birthday it was Beautiful and only $30.00!! read more

I was in a Starbucks in Turlock and received excellent customer service from Emily Esquival. I requested a small coffee in a large cup with heavy cream on the side as Emily was taking my order another customer service person was in the back who was changing the garbage bags grab the cup and proceeded to get the coffee without taking her gloves off or washing her hands I expressed my concern with what I just witnessed and I explained that I did not want that coffee the young lady who was changing the garbage began to defend herself saying she was just changing the bag. This to me was disgusting. Emily immediately recognized as I looked at her and said I don't want that and she says you know what I'll take care of you and did she take care of me she took time while there was a line and made the coffee fresh and made the order correct in any other items that I needed was able to fulfill the order that I had placed. Her level of customer service should be recognized and I just wanted to say thank you to her for supporting me. No one knows what people are going through in their lives especially when it pertains to health and that simple gesture was absolutely everything that I needed. read more

They have a signed posted at the customer service desk 8 am to 8 pm. This is the second if not the third time I gone in around 7 pm waited 5-10 minutes before the night manager will come and tell she had to close. what kind of customer service training do they have that only one person can print a money order. It is especially frustrating when you are disabled and they show you no sincere regret. Get people crossed trained!!!!!! read more

Steven and Jasmine are outstanding employees in the pharmacy. Very nice and helpful. I didn't get the pharmacist name but he was very cool too. I thought Rite-Aid was good but you guys are even cooler...I'm sad for Rite-Aid closing but I'm glad I switched to Safeway...Thank You...Joe read more

Today's Journal Entry... One day soon, I pray, I am going to be able to & have the pleasure of, shopping at my local Safeway more often, when I can actually afford to do so.. Crafting Yelp! reviews, is #3 on my list of "Enjoyment" for me. I'm not new to Safeway.... I've even been to them while staying @ my God Mother Auntie Pam's, Vintage Tudor Home, located somewhere in San Jose, & I was also, just visiting the locale here in Turlock, California, earlier this very week.. I was raised in a staunchly Republican Family Home, which included, Republican, Humble Beginnings & Pauses & Endings... Having said that, I was raised to PINCH PENNIES & shop weekly, for Grocery Sales... I so recall, going to the Safeway Grocery Store in Tracy, California where I spent at least, the first (40-'s) Fourty-Something Years, of my Existence & I'm now more wise & seasoned... I love the following "things," & WOULD LOVE TO SEE, SAFEWAY INDUCT INTO Their Inventory... Located on the, (Monte Vista ) Exit) off of Highway 99, North & South Bound Freeways provides..." ~ Starbucks ~ FED Ex Shipping Capabilities - I utilize this Safeway offering @ the Customer Service "Desk",located @ the Customer Service desk, to "ship back aka: Return packages to the original sender" Free of cost of course. The Safeway Customer Service Individual, Scan's the packages, barcode into a system & unfortunately, I'm not given in return a "PAPER LABEL" reading that the transaction occured, but instead, I'm told each & everytime as they ask for my EMAIL Address;, that I'll receive a "text" where it confirms the package "drop-off-for-shipment" & the ability to track it... It's a valuable "save paper" resource that appears to be "kind to the Earth & God's creatures"... I like it even though I do prefer a Paper-Record-Keeping system; I appreciate GREATLY this service... ~ Mini Shopping Carts for people like me: Disabled, Handicapped & eager to spend my wise! resources... ~ More "store-advertisements" where "PAPER COUPONS" make their return, instead of being a consumer forced to utilize their "scanable store coupons". I like paper coupons most of the time but not exclusively, where I can Clip them & put them into my portable "Coupon holder" from the Dollar Tree over off of Main Street, here in Turlock, its comforting?... ~ Sugar-Free Dryers & Breyer's Ice Cream Flavors; I can't find other places; both local & out of town...&, "Breyers" No-SUGAR chocolate-dipped, vanilla ice-cream on a stick; super decadent! ~ DREYERS, Sugar-free/No Sugar Ice Cream & "Thrifty's" Store staple; Pistacio Ice Cream. Not "Almond & Pistachio Ice-~cream from Baskin Robbins". Maybe, as an alternative, Safeway Turlock Storefront, you may be interested in concocting an Old-school Recipe, yourself, ONLY this time, it's NO-SUGAR &/OR Sugar Free & Sweetened with Stevia?; maybe some Splenda; store brand or not.... My mouth waters & this is my absolutely FAVORITE flavor of ice-cream & it has been for the majority of my life. It even replaced S/F Mint & Chip for holding that title.... Thanks for your consideration of this consumer-request. :) ~ A Pharmacy, which I have utilized & have had some truely great, relaxing situations at this particular Safeway Store location...Both in the daylight hours as well as the EVENING hours.... They keep long hours &, they accept the highly FRUGAL, GoodRX PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNT CARD for saving oodles & oodles of hard cold CASH on therapeutic-medications; which I fondly call my therapeutics For me; "Therapeutics", induce wellness within my soul, & for me, it sounds much more appealing than saying "I take medications daily". We have to monitor & instill personal levels of responsibility & values in our lives lest we be like that tugboat; lost in the waves & current of the sea.... With a squewed, Compass... ~ Customer Service+ ALWAYS helpful with no Arrogance... This is priceless for me & my family consisting of me, & my beloved biological Momma + her beloved & pampered SHEEP and Pup Zhe Zhe & my Pup, Poopie Buck Thomas, + all our beloved & Pampered felines; aka: Cats; sometimes they behave like Felines, aka: Cats from Hell but it's all in family laughter & fun... ~ Store "DISCOUNT Card". "This Card", saves me HUGE dividends when purchasing items on-sale, which is how I prefer to shop; 100% of the time..."Save your Pennies, as your Dollars' will save themselves"... It's sort-of a Unique saying, but it's about, "Pinching Pennies" & saving ALL OUR COINS & by doing so, OUR DOLLARS Save themselves...Aka: FRUGALITY is where AWESOMENESS is...aka: Resides... It's "COOL" to be frugal; when your frugal you have a certain peace-of-mind to yourself & your surroundings; that "everything is Alright & is going to continue to be Alright"... It can be a very magical experience, watching your home & personal items, be well cared for & obtained... ~ Self-Checkout I'm out of space. Sincerely, ~Jana Leigh Thomas Sr. Yelper :) read more

So my experience with this Safeway was good. I saw that they had a tequila that is very hard to find . I have not been able to find anywhere near me . So I made the trip to Turlock to pick up. I ordered curbside. The girl brought out as soon as I pulled up . She checked my ID then went on her way. Whole process was very easy. I then went inside to grab a couple things for dinner. Produce was nice looking. And I was able to find what I needed with ease. I noticed they had chile verde egg bites. I haven't seen that type anywhere. Looked great. Lady who checked me out was friendly. And the bagger . read more

This place seems to be getting worse and worse. They advertise a five dollar special just to find out they do not have it in stock. This has now happened twice in a row. First time they had advertised Pepsi products 18 pack for $5 bucks. I go in and they have none. Rain check please. Fast forward to today, again they advertised $5 dollar Friday. I go in for my disabled father and myself for sodas and hot dogs. They had two 18 packs of Diet Coke and that was it. They were all out of the Casper hot dogs. I hear they only ordered or received one box of hot dogs. Then don't advertise then if you can't get the products in. What would have happened if my disabled father had to get a ride to Safeway to get his necessities just to find out Safeway was out of the products they advertised and he needed? It is already hard enough for him to get around. Get your act straight Safeway. To me it looks like a tactic to get people in the door. Not a good tactic either for the elderly and disabled. read more

Was here yesterday 9/4 with my husband to pick up a prescription. It wasn't ready, not their fault two weeks had passed since it was sent. The woman told us it would be 15 minutes so we did some shopping. Got the scrip. Walked by the deli on the way to the registers and it smelled so good we stopped and got some chicken. The woman that helped us, Claudette Or Claudia (sorry can't remember exactly) was so friendly and helpful. We made our way to a register where Belle checked us out. She was super happy, and funny chatted us up as well as others that were walking by. It was definitely a great experience, customer service isn't what it used to be. I was very happy and will have to come this way more often. read more

I have shopped at Safeway for all my adult life. It was gone from Turlock for a while, but they built a beautiful store a number of years ago, and I have shopped there since it got back. Safeway has always been high-priced in comparison to many other stores, but I love the store and can almost shop in the dark. Sadly, lately, their customer service is awful. I have had to bag my own groceries even with the prices. The curtesy clerks are busy shopping, sweeping, or just standing around talking to management. This is unacceptable. it seems that management doesn't seem to be bothered. Just disappointing. read more

Linda in the Deli is Amazing. She was so polite, patient, and fun to talk to when she helped me. Overall, it was a very welcoming ambiance.

I use the gas station at least twice a week when I see the employee Michelle there I cringe but lately I just been leaving if she's there Her phone and her are inseparable.. she will not look up at you till she is done . Then she acts like your inconveniencing her. The eye roll and all. She will grab your money and not say a thing even if you thank her. One day she told me she'll be right with me and continued a phone call on speaker. Not a business call by the way. After her phone call she then took off her coat complained that some one took her hanger then took my money. With the same condescending approach. She needs a little pep talk about her approach. Or I'll just get gas at Costco read more

Great staff. Always coupons to help customers save. Only thing they don't carry at all time is grass-fed organic stew meats. The meat option isn't my favorite. They have great ground beef options but not the rest. Other than that, safe way is pricy. If they can expand the organic section it will be good. read more

Whenever I go to grocery and I am only getting few items, my go-to is self check out. I bought a salad, and two fruits ( I over looked , buy 2 get 1) I thought it's buy 1get 1... my bad, but, the rudeness of people here is incomparable. It's 7ish am in the morning. I was calling the attention of a lady who's standing in front of counter 2, which is open and no one is in line.. she kept ignoring me, and then when I get closer, she looked at me and say , wait for the one who can assist you, fair enough, but, not giving much attention to your customer???? CUSTOMER SERVICE GIRL!!! Review your manual... then , as I was paying, the guy helped me, and he came back showing me the tag but 2 get 1 free, I told him , I don't need much, I'm only getting one... and he raised his voice , cancel my payment and said " there's nothing I can do or void, it's back to "0", you better do it again", then walked away... duuuhhh!!!! Again customer service... I can only eat what I wanted to get... and if I decided not to get more, it's not for them to be rude! This happened today 3/10/23 @ exactly 7:18am. I didn't pay attention getting their names. Just I'm so upset, because it's very early morning... the rudeness in this Safeway is amazingly large!!!!! read more

I usually go to Safeway for lunch. They have ready to go meals fresh and delicious. I also buy birthday cakes and order cupcakes from their bakery. Prices for customize cupcakes or cakes are pretty reasonable and the cakes are delicious. The store is pretty clean compared to other grocery stores but the prices are pretty steep. read more

I'm not going out of my way to review grocery stores, but the coronavirus has made them the business I frequent most and it's important to relay those experiences. So, Safeway. I'm not a huge fan of Safeway during "normal" times, but I do appreciate the transitions they've made during times when so many are adhering to strict rules and regulations in order to stay safe. Masks were on all employees, there were markers signifying safe social distancing and the staff in general were helpful and friendly. We originally came in (before buying stuff) to use the bathrooms and these were some of the cleaner bathrooms I've ever been to in a grocery store. The selection was solid, with the exception of a couple vegetables we couldn't find. All in all a solid grocery store option! read more

Very bad Pharmacy ethics. Never answered the phone for me or when I wanted to transfer Rx. They didn't have my meds and didn't bother to let me know they were out of stock until the following week nor did they offer to call the other Safeway. Not my problem you're short staffed but it won't be my problem anymore. Transferring to another pharmacy. read more

Tired of getting hustled by Safeway We're tired of your scam of 10 cents off per gallon of gas at gas stations that charge 70 cents more per gallon then anywhere else. It's a bit of an insult. Even at your own gas stations your gauging us!! read more

The guy Brandon who is suppose to work Guest Service/cash office is lazy and a shit liar. I just needed to change quarters for $5 in bills. I stood there for about five minutes, waiting for somebody to help me. Didn't realize there was supposed to be a button that was somehow under the desk. The lady, I guess service ended up asking me if I needed help and when I said, yeah, she didn't She realized that the button was gone and then said I don't know why the button is not there. She then called him out of his office and he came out and then tried to give me this long story about how the Coinstar is full, which is fine because I know exactly what I need to exchange and I only want to exchange my quarters. When I tried to explain that he then started going on this tangent about how they don't have enough money and only have too much changed so they can't take any more change. I then proceeded to look at the lady for a self check out and was like can I just give you the quarters in exchange for a five dollar bill to which she said yeah that's fine. I don't mind if you don't wanna count all my change then just tell me that don't come up with this story and then also do your job instead of sitting in an office. And yes, everybody can see you through the tinted windows, if that lady didn't say anything, I was about to ask for somebody to come help me at guest service on the pager. read more

An employee was really angry, aggressive, and talking down on me for accidentally taking the basket out of store. He was assuming I didn't even pay for my groceries. Since I am brown he stereotyped and he was talking to me in a really rude way. This was a white male yelling at me "where are you taking my BASKET" he snatched it away from me and handed the groceries to me in hand. I have been going to this Safeway from last 15 years of my life. Never felt this disrespected by someone. read more

I go to this store quite often. I get really good deals with the just for you card. They have some of the largest apples in here that I have ever seen. The produce department is usually very clean and well stocked. I really like the fresh cut and packaged produce that they prepare on site. Fresh flavored waters also. I usually get good service at the deli department, and Ana is an absolute joy. She really makes my day, and Liz in the meat department is such a sweetheart. read more

Oh the food at the store is the freshest in town . It's also the most expensive. 50/50 on rude/ polity employees.

Sucks when you show up at 7:42pm to handle an issue regarding returning hearing aid batteries I bought that were the wrong size with customer service who's hours are 8am-8pm and they decided to "close early" for some lame ass reason. I was going to make the return real quick on my way back home and of course I don't have Safeway anywhere within 100 miles of where I reside. You'd think an overpriced, massive corporation like Safeway would actually maintain the hours they advertise that they have. Really freaking lame and a huge pain in my ass. Next time I come to visit the area, I'll make sure not to give this place my business. read more

Stopped here on our way to Yosemite. Clean restroom and friendly deli workers. Starbucks long line though.

This review is for florist department. The store it self is great, clean, professional cashiers. However in the florist section they are rude and have no idea about basic floral arrangement. I attempted to purchase a rose bouquet, she wrapped in a small wet dirty parchment paper with stems sticking out and just a ribbon knotted without bow. I told her I can't give this as a gift. She rolled her eyes got another paper and did the exact same this but with 2 layers of wrapping. I've but flowers from different safeway for decades, worst experience. I asked for a refund since this was so bad. A giant waste of time. read more

Very clean store, well laid out with most items easy to find. Reasonably priced for a Safeway. It is within walking distance of my hotel, so that is definitely a plus. My only complaint about the store is that the service is usually pretty darn bad. The people at the Starbucks at the deli are always very nice, but the majority of the other employees I have spoken to seem to think that the customer is an imposition to them. And the actual cashiers can be downright surly. If you can avoid dealing with the employees, it's not a bad place to shop. I've gotten where I just go to the self check-out line. read more

The groceries are fresh and of good quality; the store is absolutely clean; the groceries are a little bit more expensive than Raley's and other competitors, but you get good quality food. They have a good a good selection here and the employees are friendly. Watch out for pedestrians in the busy parking lot on weekends! read more

They get a 3 because everything was pretty well stocked on food, they didn't have any color bleach but that's not why I took 2 stars off. I took 2 stars off because when I went to the deli department and wanted to get 2 chicken tenders. The young lady told me I wasnt allowed to get by the piece I can only get by the pound. Since when do I have to get by the pound, I can't eat that much for one person. I don't know if Safeway changed their way or this girl just doesn't know what she is doing. So 2 chicken tenders for 2 stars, I think that is more than fair. read more
