Safeway

I am sitting in starbucks inside safeway. Mike canifax the store manager told me that it is not ok to charge my phone and he said i was sitting here for 4 hours. He kept asking me if everything is ok which is odd. I am a paying customer and starbucks employees said it was ok to charge my phone and pointed out plugs.
I called corporate both starbucks and safeway.

I worked with Lori & her team in the bakery for an event and they did a wonderful job! They took care of everything and had my order loaded and organized with a personalized note when I arrived prior to them opening. I would work with them again in a heart beat!

The larger blond girl making sandwiches in the deli has got to be the rudest, absolutely no personality Safeway employee I’ve ever met! She should be working the parking lot clean up crew so she doesn’t have to interact with other people.
Sad sad sad
The other 2 ladies wearing the camouflage hats were both very nice. Maybe they should be the ones working the deli! The other girl is nothing short of a joke!

Earlier in the year I had to use my dad’s bike to run to Safeway… N problem right? Well it was my dad’s bike that I didn’t have a lock for so I had to walk the bike in with me… In an almost empty store; I was told to leave by an angry employee she said «You have to lock up your bike outside you’re getting in the way of other customers» I explained it was my dad’s bike and I couldn’t just leave it unlocked… She told me to leave so I did… I had to go to Walmart which I don’t think had what I was looking for, being Walmart. Negative vibes at this Safeway lol!

Fuel stations asking or even going so far as to top off your gas without asking
Practice is illegal in Oregon since 2009… topping off only puts money in pocket of gas station as the gas stays in the hose, not going into your tank
They are not supposed to be asking to round it off, top it off, etc

6pm last evening I went to get gas. I was at the pump waiting for an attendant. There were three attendants. Two were busy running around working and one, Bobby J, was busy talking to a younger female in a car. I asked if I could get help and was ignored several times. Then when I went to get his name, he was still unhelpful and acted as if I was bothering him. I said I wanted gas and he still didn’t want to help. I waved my hand back at him as I was walking away and he finally came up and didn’t even ask to help with the gas, but say in a VERY condescending tone: «I so sorry. I beg forgiveness». I was like «Excuse me?, now you are patronizing me?» His answer” «Want me to shine your shoes?» This African-​American had the nerve to use a RACIST term like that? REALLY? Then when I called in to talk to the Store Manager, he was TOO busy to come to the phone to discuss a problem like this with a concerned Consumer. WOW.

Love this Safeway. The deli is excellent and the staff are always very helpful and nice. Shop here a lot.

I cannot believe I’m the Dutchess of this place. I don’t know if I’m happy or embarrassed about going to a grocery store so much and remembering to check in.
Anyways, it’s a great place. Food. Toiletries. Beer. Wine. Bread. Bakery. LONG LINES. What Safeway doesn’t come with a long line and only three lanes open? ;)
Go later at night when not too many people are there. It’s an easy get in, get out, and the sights of the late night grocery getters are a little entertaining as well. Buy your dinner and see a show, at the grocery store!

Thank you Safeway for being open on Christmas day while other stores (Fred Meyer, Target, Winco) were closed.

I will do this in sections.
Bathrooms (1 out of 10): Never even think of using the bathroom at a Safeway unless you want to catch VD or some strange skin disorder. This would also apply to all Fred Meyer’s, Albertsons, and many other grocery stores. Target is one of the few department /​grocery stores that generally takes the time to keep up their bathroom.
Gas (7 out of 10): The gas station is nice. Its close to my house and easy to get in and out of most of the time. Most of the other stations on181st Ave are tricky or dangerous when trying to leave them during rush hour so I come here allot. Most of the time they are friendly and patient, but not always. The prices here are average and nothing special most of the time. They offer air and water which is great and its also not an awkward access to get your tires filled up.
Groceries (5 out of 10): First off they get most of my brownie points because they are actually open when I get off from work after 11:00pm. Their prices are not very reasonable 90% of the time which is unacceptable considering Safeway is a very large company with huge buying power which «COULD» mean great savings for its customers if the company was not so bent on sucking huge profits from its customers while offering little to know real savings on average grocery products. The only grocery store I know of that makes a huge effort to save its customers money in Oregon is WinCo.
Starbucks (3 out of 10): I rarely visit Safeway coffee shop like Starbucks or Peets and walk away feeling the same way that I would had I actually visited an official location instead of a cart inside of another store. So BOOO!
Staff (10 out of 10): This is really the only category they get full points in. They are always helpful, always friendly, and always there if you need any assistance. That being said the company as a whole sucks monkey turds when it comes to speed. Even with self checkout you could be looking at 20 minutes to pay for your merchandise since they never open even half of their checkout lanes even during rush hour. So next is…
Checkout Speed: (2 out of 10) Even at WinCo I can get through a line, bag my own groceries, and pay before I would be through a line at Safeway.
So my advice to Safeway Corporate is the following: Clean up your disgusting bodily fluid smeared bathrooms nationwide and keep them maintained or just close them up instead, open up some friggan lanes so people can spend time at home cooking instead of standing in line behind 20 other people, and finally try and reduce your prices by at least 20 to 25% because you guys cannot possibly believe that your produce is made of gold and your seafood sings a tune as you prep it for your tummy.
I give you a three star instead of two star because you offer gas and you are open late. Otherwise you would get a two or less from me.

NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS PURELY BASED ON THE STARBUCKS INSIDE THIS LOCATION AND NOT SAFEWAY ITSELF.
This was seriously the worst service I have received from a Starbucks my entire life. This was a first on a couple different levels.
This was the first time I’ve ever seen two baristas argue while working together. You would think when you’re in a high pressure situation that you want to work together. It was obviously not the case the one barista that I interacted with refused to admit fault.
When I encountered this barista I did my usual order of a grande awake tea in a venti cup. The reason why I do such an order is that the venti awake comes with two teabags which is too strong for me. I made the order and asked the barista to specifically to top off my cup of tea. When I received it, it was only half full and I asked the barista again to please top it off. She gets upset with me and states that I only ordered a grande and that is all I would get. I explained to her the reason why I ordered the tea this way and she states to me that I need to order a venti next time so I explained to her that this what a manager at a Starbucks had told me to order my tea from now on so I would not get two tea bags. She gets even more upset fills my cup and then roughly hands it to me. This is the first time that I have ever been treated so poorly by a barista at Starbucks. This happened yesterday and I am still irritated by her actions. If I could rate this location a zero star I would totally do it. Lucky you, you get one star.
I WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS STARBUCKS EVER AGAIN…

Review based on the bathroom:
Many times I’ve been driving through Gresham when a bathroom emergency occurs and someone in the car wants to pick up some toilet paper, while another wants a cup of coffee. So here we stop. First of all, there’s always a line for the bathroom, so I’m waiting with my hands on my tummy and my legs crossed as beads of sweat roll down my face in anticipation. Then when I finally get into the bathroom, there’s the most offensive odor one can imagine. The bathroom is filled with grafitti and is obviously seldom cleaned. And never is there soap or paper towels. The whole experience is usually painful, smelly and unsanitary.
Avoid the Safeway bathroom at all costs.

Home of one of the few Safeway Gas Stations. According to my receipt, I have $ 69.30 worth of gas redemption. Now, does that mean I get that much free? Or $ 69.30 of .03 discount gallons, meaning it would take about a billion gallons of gas to hit that amount? Jusdunno.
So, it’s a new flashy one. With that non neon looking light. And they always have my hoagies ready to go, and if they’re not ready to go, I ask at the counter and I get it.
This happened once:
Me: (in line with stuff, on a quick trip from work): Oh man, I thought I had enough cash, I don’t. my card is in the car, be right back!
Checker: Ok, I’ll hold your bag right here.
Me: (running out, getting card; getting back in now 8 person line — tapping foot, looking at watch, thinking *fuck*) Oh, Ok. um, wheres my bag?
Checker: Oh! That family must have taken it!!!
Me: (look of exasperation) Augh!!!
Checker: Sorry, take this bag and fill it up with your stuff.
Me: Thank you! I have the receipt. (Scrambling to get all the stuff again in my bag — trying not to take advantage of a free bag and run of the store)
Overhead page: «Lady with the bag of stuff in the front, you bag has showed up»
Me: (Putting all the stuff back that I just got, running back to the front) Great… Wait where are the meatballs?
Checker: Wow, they kept the meatballs.
Me: Oh god! (Running back out to get the meatballs — grabbing them, leaving the store altogether).
I go back often, it’s a block from work. I need my hoagies and meatballs.
