I shop at Safeway and at this one in particular because its the closest Safeway from home. Some people prefer going to the Co-op nearby, but I'm a Safeway fan.
How can you control long line ups? I don't know since I'm no grocery line up engineer, but I wish they could find a way to improve the efficiency when its really busy! haha but then, this place would never be busy and how fun would that be?!
I'd prefer it not to be busy, but its just part of the shopping experience here.
Apart from that, this Safeway is A.O.K. in my books. Its clean, their staff are friendly and are very helpful. I don't know everything and its good to know there's people that work somewhere that will help you. Once time, I went here on a Wednesday night and was looking for a presliced loaf of sourdough bread for my sandwiches. They didn't have any left, so I asked someone if they had any presliced ones. The lights in the bakery were already shut off, but she told me to give her a minute. When she came back a moment later and had one freshly sliced for me :) yay! People appreciate little things like that and I certainly did.
Thanks Safeway on 8th & 11th! keep up the great work :)
