This is my neighborhood Safeway when i dont feel like going down to Walmart Supercentre.
This is essentially the downtown safeway, and as such it is an interesting mix of people. There are almost always people hanging around out front. Located behind this store is also a recycling drop off, so a lot of the homeless are collecting cans back there, and also hanging around out front.
So, on to the store.
The vegetable fruit selection here is decent always nicely stocked, and for the most part consistently fresh. The meat/deli section looks good, however I dont eat meat so I cant comment on it too much. This store is always well stocked and even though it is pricier than somewhere like Walmart or Supercentre they often have the buy one get one free specials which can be really good for saving money.
The bakery section has all the standard stuff, and in particular I have always found the girls behind the counter where they make the birthday cakes super nice.
In addition they have a sandwich/hot food counter that serves up custom sandwiches as well as chinese food. I imagine on peoples lunch break they pop in here for a bite.
They have the self check outs, but what I find a tad frustrating is that there is no system to ensure that if you are next in line, you are next.( something I see at alot of these things....) they need to figure something out to ensure that the line up is based on the next in line principle.
This safeway also has a starbucks express type thing and the kids that work there are friendly.
This place can be really really busy just after work and on the weekends. I wouldnt recommend making this your primary place to get groceries, but in a pinch it is fine.
