This Safeway is gross. The staff are always friendly but it seems like every time I buy groceries or order from the hot food it's horrible. The Chinese food always taste dry and flavorless, the fried chicken is burnt. I ordered a pizza stick once and it was so nuked the inside filling was burnt and crispy with no sauce...I just threw it out. Most recently I bought lobster tails but when I cracked the shell (just 30 mins after purchasing) the meat smelt horrible and was discolored and black. I had to scrap my dinner idea for lobster rolls and order a pizza after spending $160 on two bags of groceries.
It also seems like nothing is labeled properly. A bottle of wine will say $8.99 but at the cash register it will read $12.99 (yes I enter my phone number). There's supposed to be a $6 sushi deal on Wednesdays but there's no indicator which are $6 and which aren't, so when you get to the register it ends up being $10.
With grocery prices these days I end up throwing away way too much of what I buy here which hardly seems worth it given the Fred Meyer just 5 mins down the road. read more
