| - This is a little funny. I never actually thought I would be taking the time to review a grocery store. But, after seeing that there are several other reviews posted, I don't feel so weird anymore.
The only reason I'm reviewing THIS particular Safeway store, is because it is the one I've had the most positive experiences at. For the most part, the staff is friendly and helpful (minus the Customer Service desk). It seems that there's rarely one around to be found when I'm in a hurry and just happen to need assistance.
My favorite areas of this store are: the floral shop, which usually has a great selection of fresh arrangements, vases, and potted plants. I've had great experiences with the friendly and helpful florists on many occasions too.
The Starbucks (West side of the store) because it's very convenient. Unless a sour-faced girl who's been there the longest is behind the counter. She NEVER smiles and always looks as though customers are bothering her.
Most of the cashiers are friendly. They actually acknowledge and greet you. Unlike at some of the other Safeway locations I've been to. This store location was only about 3 minutes down the street from me, so it was very conveniently located. It looks even nicer now that it was remodeled and expanded. I moved to N. Phoenix a few months back, so I miss this location. Noticeably better than the other three locations I have visited near my new home.
The only thing I found truly annoying was the parking lot. Why was it usually so crowded when I needed to just go in, quickly pick up a couple of things and get out? Ugh!
Trying to find a spot near the entrance and deal with the slow moving seniors and rude patrons, often tested my patience.
If I happen to be in the area, I will try to stop at this location instead of the ones near my home.
* One reviewer said that their deli sandwiches are "better than Jimmy John's". LOL
No! Sorry to disagree with you.
Another one just made me laugh outloud at the ridiculousness of not easily finding the bar inside the store. Seriously??? I'm not even a drinker and yet I would always spot it, when I was in the produce section or the meat section, which was often.
She stated: "my friend and I had a hankering for alcoholic beverages.." "hankering"? Well, maybe they already had a few... LOL
Poor Rhett Doolittle. I felt bad for him. I don't blame him one bit... I would never want to return either, if I had that bad of service. That is no way to treat any customer! Especially, a frequent and loyal one. Shame on that employee! Sounds like she needs some serious CS training, or shouldn't be there at all.
