Safeway is fairly decent for a quick lunch. My coworkers and I enjoy grabbing food at the deli counter occasionally. The counter employees are normally the same each time we go, and they're always nice, they know who we are. Same goes for the other store employees as well. The food quality is pretty consistently tasty and amazing - I really love their Turkey Pesto Avocado sammich, the broccoli soup, and the potato soup!
What kills me though are their prices! I want to equate them to more expensive than Target groceries, which can be a little pricey in the first place. Not sure if it is reflective of the North Scottsdale/Phoenix area, but paying ~$10 for a sandwich and an apple seems a little much.
