Safeway

Workers had bad customer service in the deli this evening. The 2 ladies were extremely rude & the Chinese $ 19.99 family meal was not good. At 5:30pm

Forced to go here for some last minute cooking oil on ³⁄₂₅. The cashier decided to clip her finger nails while the lady in front of me input her debit card number.
Classy and totally OSHA approved.

I decided to stop in on a Tuesday at lunch time and order their «Street tacos», boy that was a huge mistake. Asked the lady if the fish was fried, she said no, we bake it. I ordered 3 fish tacos and opened up the box to reveal only a white person who had never left the state of Washington would call a «Street taco». Flour tortillas with a sweet ketchup sauce, cabbage, pineapple, and a Mf’ing frozen fish stick. You’ve got to be kidding me. Safe to say, far from authentic, or edible for that matter.
Safeway management, if you read this and want help with your tacos, I’d be more than happy to help you guys come up with something better.

First of all, the information reported for this store is kind of inaccurate. This Safeway is technically located in Arlington, not Marysville, although nobody’s ever going to know the difference. Well, this place fed me, I guess. I came here on a hasty visit for some high-​protein chow one morning. That’s what brought me to the deli section of this place.
I got a signature café breakfast burrito for $ 2.49 and a signature café turkey and havarti toasted sandwich for $ 5.49. These two items filled my stomach, to say the least. There was nothing exceptional either about my purchases or the store itself, but this is just another generic grocery store in a fairly rural area anyway. I would still probably just go to Winco to buy my food in this area.

Every time I go into this Safeway hoping to pick up a few items real quick, it ends up taking forever because there are only 2 cashiers working the front end. The «Express» lane is generally longer than the regular line with 5 or more customers spilling over into the aisle way. Don’t bother using the pharmacy here either. It’s an incredibly long wait, just to get customer service (I can’t imagine how much longer one would have to wait for a prescription to be filled)!
Produce isn’t very fresh and the organics expire quickly!
Today something horribly wrong happened at Safeway. I was completing my transaction when a very elderly front end clerk gentleman offered to help me to my car. Before I had a chance to thank him kindly, the cashier (a middle aged gray haired woman) yelled at him saying «Where are your Safeway gloves?! You need to wear your Safeway gloves!». The poor old man, who was wearing some other kind of glove regretfully said that his gloves were «at the house», and she barked at him again. Very rude! I felt badly that the old man was ridiculed right in front of customers. He should be respected for getting out and working.

I’d have to say I’m a fan of this Safeway moreso than the one down on State. It seems more homey of an atmosphere. The people there are genuine and have a upbeat atitude. The floral at this one is also delightful to look at. The produce section is great and I’ve not seen bad produce yet, but I will say it is a tad bit pricey. I can go over to Walmart and get organic bell peppers for half the cost. I’m very happy with the service there.

I believe Wal-​Mart nearby is lowering the standards here. I will run in here for one or two items but eill never make this my pkace to shop. Haggen isn’t too far to go.

This is my 2^nd favorite Safeway. Every time I pass a store employee, they either say hello and/​or ask me if I’m finding everything I need. They are great here, very very very professional. The store is clean, you can always find staff if you can’t find something or have a question. Depending on the times you go, you may find lines at the check stands. But management is on the ball when it comes to getting the lines down. The downfall, the only one I see is at customer service. It doesn’t seem to always be staffed. The wait for the service desk is not long, the employee is generally at a check stand getting the lines down. They ALWAYS acknowledge your presence and let you know that they will be there as soon as they can. Which is fine by me, I appreciate that.
