    Just me in a hat.

    I'd be remissed if I didn't mention this. I was at this particular location of Safeway recently looking for pie crusts, but I didn't see where they'd normally be, however, I got the attention of Antonio in seafood, and although it wasn't his department - he not only went out of his way, but he found several that I could use. Much appreciated, good Sir.

    Not the greatest safeway but not terrible either. Its good for my quick trips when I only need a few things from the store. Pros: convient location with parking. Starbucks inside. Pharmacy at the location. Meat isn't terrible. Cons: low stocked on items, small store, long lines if you going in the evenings. Sandwich I got there tasted awful once. Avoid most fruits from here. Overpriced and nats are constantly swarming them during the summer.

    Drive up was super easy. You open your trunk and there is literally no contact. You order everything prior, arrange a delivery time and park in the spot. I was in and out within 5 minutes. If you use the Safeway App, there are tons of coupons. This is my local store I usually go inside but I had a full day of cooking and errands. It's open 24 hours, clean, organized and well stocked.

    They have a very large cheese selection. They even had a massive slab of pecorino romano, my personal favorite cheese. I am shown holding it here.

    For those in need of Feta... here's where you'll find it.

    A solid 4 stars, but this is in the category of Safeway supermarkets within the District. Nothing can compare to VA, the ultimate in grocery shopping experiences. What's so great about this Safeway? Pretty well-stocked for the city. You'll make compromises, but still be able to check off most items off your list or settle for Feta that's in cheese aisle and not higher quality that the deli usual carries. Good customer service. The employees are attentive to customers and available to answers questions. It's what you give you get back. You do bag your own groceries, but I think that's every grocery store in DC. There is also a nice cafe area with lots of booths by the windows. Free wifi and overlooks a side street. Two hour free parking, at metro and on several bus lines. Wanna fancy coffee? Starbucks is inside, and it seems popular cause you'll sometimes find a line. Need to pick up some flowers, a plant or balloons... they gotcha covered with a good selection and plenty of cards to choose from. Do go early on a Sunday if you want 2% Fage and the freshest vegetables. Broccoli goes quick! You'll have slim pickins the later the day goes on. Oh, and at back of the store, behind the produce, great selection of dried fruits and nuts. The best dried cranberries. You'll also find bins of grains etc. Can't say anything about the meat and fish selection, we mostly eat veggie and buy meat occasionally and usually from other markets. But I do believe they have organic meats.

    Super rude staff. Literally every person I asked for help was rude. Refused to help in departments they didn't directly work in

    Nice spot. But, the fresh meat has NO IRON in it, it's suppose to. What's going on with DC food.

    + I'm not a big tea drinker, but their self-serve selection of bulk teas is -- at least in my experience -- a novel and welcome addition to a regular everyday grocery store...

    This grocery store definitely ethnic and I like it a lot especially because I actually live in…read moreMexico for half of the year. I've shopped here a dozen times, and they carry many items that you simply won't be able to find at a traditional grocery store. However it is somewhat more expensive for the average products like orange juice and milk. The larger grocery chains have better prices overall because they can buy their products wholesale for much less than a small grocery store such as this one. The shopping experience and the interior of the store itself is nearly identical as to what you would find in Mexico or Latin America. They have a decent meat and seafood section, and they also have the most basic produce items. The times that I have come here we're to purchase only a few items. Today I purchased a bag of oranges, and a half gallon of milk.

    A esta tienda no vuelvo no se si fue cajera o manager pero salió hasta fuera pensando q me estaba…read morerobando un aceite y si cometí un erro q fue no me di cuenta porque andaba un coche y lo había puesto abajo de mi coche de bebe ya había pagado todas mis bolsas y no me di cuenta hasta q ella me lo dijo afuera de la tienda me hizo quedar como ladrona no soy ninguna ladrona porque ya había pagado mis bolsas ni cuenta me había dado por el aceite me dijo lo pagarás se lo di y le dije no me había dado cuenta pero si van a esta tienda con coches cuidado no los vayan a tratar de ladrones solo por un error q cualquier persona puede cometer Mi intención no era robarlo porque ya había como 24 dólares en bolsas de comprado como Para llevarme un aceite de 7 dólares suena estupido pero bueno me hicieron quedar mal no vuelvo a regresar a esta tienda por esta mala experiencia.

    Gotten worse. Person in the deli was horendously negative for no reason. I'm sure it's not easy…read moreworking in retail but to be so nasty for no reason is pitiful. I hope he day gets better. Just horrible.

    I've been a loyal Giant customer for over 15 years, but what happened to me on Sunday, July 6th…read morearound 11:30 AM at the Columbia Heights location was humiliating, unsettling, and completely unacceptable. After shopping at several nearby stores, I walked into Giant to look for a specific item. I was carrying a reusable tote and a Target bag filled with clearly labeled groceries from Lidl. Not finding what I needed, I exited through the self-checkout area -- the only way out -- when an employee loudly yelled, "Stop him!" I was stunned. A security guard stopped me and questioned me about my bags, asking for a receipt for items that clearly weren't from Giant. I was then surrounded by multiple staff members and treated with suspicion, hostility, and outright disrespect. There was no apology -- just defensiveness, even after it was obvious I had taken nothing. When I asked for the names of the staff involved or how to contact corporate, I was told I "didn't need to know their names" and was labeled "hostile" just for speaking up. This experience felt like racial profiling. It was demeaning, unprovoked, and unnecessary. Even after calling corporate, I was only offered an apology -- no effort at true accountability or meaningful resolution. I understand retail theft is a real issue, but this was handled in a completely inappropriate way. You don't accuse, intimidate, and surround paying customers without cause -- and then expect them to return like nothing happened. As someone who's spent thousands of dollars at Giant over the years, I now feel unsafe and unwelcome. Giant needs to do better -- for all its customers.

    Giant - Stores really need to stop doing this. Everyone understands the shoplifting problem. But NOT at the expense of jeopardizing human life.
