Safeway Stores

Very big Safeway in Clackamas on a lot of space for parking spots we just bought ice cream and found this place on Unilocal so 100% recommended

Today we had opportunity to go in Clackamas and we stop by Safeway that located in the center of Clackamas Happy Valley and you know when it’s one of the best stores around in this neighborhood we really liked Tillamook ice cream

Only a 3 star for this location, mostly because the parking lot nearly always jam packed! Like the Safeway offering, but it is just so packed that it makes it stressful to just get there!

This is my first review of a location that I have visited in Oregon. Is it a restaurant? Negatory. Is it a potshot? Darn-​tooting it’s not. If Ketchup is to catsup, then Safeway is to… Vons. Crazy, right? Spice is the variety of life. So I needed to do some quick shopping because I did not want to spend more than I have to on lunch/​dinner, and what better way to save than to cook your own meals! Or in my case, make sandwiches, only because this Safeway carried all I needed. My cashier was friendly; I forgot my Safeway number and she hook’d it up with hers.

Older store. Produce is marginal. Meat prices are outrageous so they can mark it down «30%» and «50%» or «Buy 1, Get 2.» Some baked goods have almost 3-​week expiration dates (ew).

I just got the chef special from their chinese food selection about thirty minutes ago. I was in a rush and needed something before getting on the bus home. I didnt expect much. You never do when purchasing from these ready to go counters. What i got though was sub-​par even by those standards. My food was a tasteless textureless mush. For 6.49 i got absolute crap. Even the fried rice was a poor quality that soy sauce couldnt save. Please do something about this

This is a busy Safeway every time i stop here. I feel bad for the employees because the lines are always long. They are very friendly and helpful for having to be on the go all the time. They just need 1 more teller open and they would operate more smoothly in my opinion

This is my favorite grocery store ever– not Safeway but THIS Safeway! I can find almost everything I need (their are a few random things I have to get at target or a specialty store).
The bakery has fresh breads regularly and the staff are helpful and friendly.
The produce section is impressive. Maybe not the most expansive around, but what they do have is great. Its almost always stocked and getting preened by the crew. The staff goes above and beyond. They regularly go to the back if I need something that isn’t out, or let me sample before I buy– a great example is the wonderful nectarines right now.
The meat and seafood deli has a great staff. They are willing to help, cut fresh meats, package it however you want it. What more could you want?
But wait– there is more. The meat and cheese deli is full of wonderful staff who remember me and my partner. They always smile, never complain, and are happy to help with our peculiar requests. You can tell they are always swamped but they are quicker and better than any other store’s deli around.
I think the biggest downside is the cashiers. There are some pretty slow and grumpy ones. This may be because I usually have a cart full, but that’s what they’re there for right?

Great big box food store. Very convenient location (near by freeway i-​205). I found them on google Unilocal.Today you can save $ 25 if you show coupon. Will recommend.

Super muper big box Safeway store! Today I got 30%off banana bag. I’m super happy and my wife jumping… Banana is good for her… It makes her happy! And you guys know if your wife happy all around is happy. So today it’s a holiday for me!!! I’m loyal to this store. I found this store on Unilocal!!!

This review isn’t based on one or two experiences, but many. I can’t say that the Safeway near the intersection of Sunnyside and 122^nd is a 5 star operation, but it’s clearly a 4 star operation and possibly a tad more than that.
Their prices at Safeway are not of the discount variety but their Club Card specials are numerous. They have also expanded their store branded items, such as boxed oatmeal, for better savings.
The employees range from friendly to downright enthusiastic, to the point of being willing to walk you to an item you are looking for. The cashiers will thank you and address you by name if using the Safeway Club Card. Special kudos to some great employees in the deli, floral, and the bakery. In the deli, they are really down to earth and seem almost happy to see you. In the floral department, they will offer assistance with selecting types of flowers and arrangements which are suitable for a specific occasion. In the bakery, they really want to see that you get what you are looking for in baked items, particularly custom made cakes. I entrusted a custom made cake to the bakery for a special occasion and, boy, did they deliver! The cake was a hit.
Be sure to check out the Safeway deli for filling sandwiches. Screw the calorie and carb counts every now and then! They’ve got some standard lunchtime sandwiches they make and they’re even willing to customize them. I don’t know if they still have it, but I’ve had their meat loaf sandwich at other Safeways (a mix of ingredients that they need to pull up for reference, if still available) and it is delicious.
The only demerits for this Safeway is that it feels a little crowded, even without a pharmacy. (The reason they don’t have a pharmacy is because there’s a Rite Aid in the same shopping center). Also, parking is fine when not during peak hours, but when it’s the weekend and there are numerous other stores to share the parking lot with, it can fill up faster than Albertson’s further down Sunnyside and I’ve seen tempers flare.
However, I’ve shopped at this Safeway enough to have an imaginary or invisible «fan badge.»

Quick trip to Safeway on Easter Sunday evening turned out to be good (and really was quick!).
The store was neat, clean, and well stocked. Despite it being a holiday, there were enough workers (you could actually find someone to help you if you had a question!) and the checkout lines moved quickly (there were only 2 lines open, but, like I said, it’s Easter). The manager was actually running one of the checkout lines and he seemed very kind and capable.
This is a great Safeway!

Unilocal needs to work on a half star option. I think I would rate this more of a 2.5 rather than a solid 3.
Not my favorite grocery store but it works for last minute heading home «oh crap I forgot to get _​_​_​_​» run in trips. I do not like the lay out of the store something about it just throws me off and I can never remember where a product is located. Which is why I just make my husband run in, haha!
The organic section is pitiful so as stated we only stop for really quick «i forgot one ingredient pertinent to dinner» trips vs doing all our regular grocery shopping here.
There never seems to be more than 2 – 3 registers open at a time which makes check out go slowly.
I do enjoy the deli build a sandwich counter as it is fresh ingredients vs nasty Subway. They also have a sushi chef there making sushi, which according to my husband is good for store bought sushi.

Somebody please hire some checkers and put in a self checkout! Why does it take so long to checkout? I tried going to Customer Service (no weight items) and Amy looked at me and left for 10 minutes with a fellow employee and then came back and rudely said she was with a customer. (I get it, you have to be a liar to work here). I love the Deli, Bakery and meat depts but the checkout is a deal breaker.

Horrible store, hire some more checkers or put in a self checkout.

So on our last night in Portland, to cap off an all day shopping exploration we wanted sweets and wine. My sister and I, she just celebrated her 16^th bday, went in to the store while our parents waited in the car. I grabbed some Barefoot Moscato and Pepperidge Farm cookies. My sister was planning to buy some Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips. The Cashier asked for my id, which I showed, and my sister’s. Apparently a grown ass woman can’t purchase alcohol with a minor! Despite me cussing out the cashier and her manager for some bullshit ass policy, one which they made up by the way, they wouldn’t even let my parents come in to purchase the alcohol. I personally feel the choice to enforce the policy on this day with this customer was racially motivated. Like a parent with kids can’t purchase alcohol along with their groceries???

Nothing jumped out at me the staff was nice but the store was like any other.

It many respects its «just another Safeway.» The deli ladies make it RULE.
I don’t even know their names. All of ‘em on evening shift work Safeway as a 2^nd job, bless their hearts. None of ‘em speaks English w/​great, or particular facility (then again, maybe that’s a ruse, as I’m aware it sometimes is w/​folks – see: Sosa, Sammy, during the BALCO scandals). But man oh man do they have a first-​hand grasp of customer service.
They always greet me w/​smiles, and singing falsettos of familiarity. Maybe they are simply having a little fun at my expense, and that’s fine if so. But they hold aside items they know I like, in the off chance I stop by before they close for the evening. Fortunately, very few people seem to realize you can purchase your regular groceries at the deli, although anything beyond what you would get in the express lanes might be a bit awkward. Maybe it’s just as well more people DIDN’t know this «secret», or my trips to Safeway might become insufferably elongated…
In sum, thanks to the ladies in the Sunnyside Deli! Just ‘cos we’re not in Chicago, doesn’t mean y’all don’t perpetually dwell in a blissful state of «Chill-​inois»…

I think Safeway is expensive so I don’t really do a big grocery trip here but if I desperately need something this is the closest store to home. I do like their deli selection including the Chinese food selections and the chicken strips. They also make good sandwiches. The Sunnyside one is clean, in a convenient location and the staff are very friendly.
