There really isn't anything all that special about this safeway compared to the others in the valley. It's spacous and clean, and carries generally the same items at the same prices. As another Yelper pointed out, the Beer and Wine selection is more upscale. there are two things that I really like about this location which I would like to share:
1. Self-check out
I know some people hate it. But I'm a fan. I hate waiting in line. If I'm buying just one or two items, I'd much rather scan and pay myself as quickly as possible.
2. Not too crowded
If there is a crowd here, I've never really noticed it. It's always easy to find an employee who's free to help you. And if I don't use the self-check out, the line at the registers have never been too long.
This location does suffer from my usual Safeway complaint. Can the employees stop looking at the name on the recept from the safeway card? I understand the theory behind this policy, but my phone number on file is an old one, and comes up as someone else. They always try to call me by his appearently hard to pronounce name. My girlfriend has also scanned her card before, then I have paid. Men just love it when they're called Mr. [her last name]. I almost always pay by credit. Try looking at that name, please.
