Safeway may be on the expensive side of grocery stores but I've been shopping here for years. This particular Safeway's produce department is not the best! So if you're looking for good produce head off to Sprouts.
Other than that the deli department is good and I really like the floral department as well. Some of the cashiers really crack me up and normally it's pretty good experience with those guys.
I am an anti-bag person and I think it confuses the cashiers and baggers. If I forget my bags in the car I typically just want to put everything back into the cart so that I can use my bags that are inconveniently in the car. So that typically generate some pretty funny looks but they have good humor about it!
If you ever need to return something customer service is very friendly and helpful which is nice. Overall a good Safeway.
