They're clearly understaffed. + 2. Believe me, I've worked retail, and I know customers can be horrifically rude sometimes. But that's no excuse to ignore the customer you're currently helping to vent with coworkers about a customer that came in five minutes ago. It's extremely inappropriate, and made service even slower than it already is. I don't go to Safeway to hear 4 middle-aged women gossip. + + + 3. A word to customers: STOP parking your carts in the middle of parking spaces! How would you like it if a cart rolled into the side of your car and made a nice scratch or dent? How much does it take to just WALK ten feet and drop your cart off where you're supposed to. Don't you think the poor kid who has to wear black pants and a heavy button up to collect carts for hours in 105 degree weather already has a hard enough time? Not to mention the fact that the parking lot is already hard enough to park in, wasting a space for a plastic cart is just ridiculous. + --["Users/JesBisagno"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-08-17 13:31:32'' [[nbsp]] I haaaate buying sushi from the North Davis Safeway. I would stand in front of the sushi selection trying to decide which kind I like (unakyu or california, brown rice or white rice) and the chefs keep saying "it's fresh. i just made it. they're all the same." I tell them that I'm just deciding what kind to get. Then they repeat "it's fresh. i just made it. they're all the same" as if I was being picky or something. This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME and annoys me so much that I don't bother buying their sushi anymore. They should just let their customers decide in peace. It's not like im lifting all of them and criticizing their quality. --["Users/julpham"]

	+ + * Do you mean to say that there is a stamp on the eggshell or the egg yolk/white itself? If there is a stamp on the egg, then unless you are cracking the egg improperly, there should be no eggshell shards that would land in the yolk. Also, if my assumption is correct, then I'm wondering why you would be eating the eggshell at all. If I am wrong and there is a stamp on the eggyolk/white (which doesn't seem physically possible), then I have no idea. But considering most people don't eat eggshells (which are nearly all washed properly prior to shipment), I don't think stamping the shell has any effect on the egg. --["Users/SunjeetBaadkar"]

How can I be certain when I crack the eggshell that no shards would land on the yolk. And is their stamp edible? I would never know. Why did they need to stamp "S" on every egg in the first place.

- * I don't have this problem 100% of the time I go, some baggers are better than others.

comment about mushing of the fruits at checking/bagging

Line 255:	Line 255:
	+ I agree with the general point; but personally I care more about the checkers/cashiers. If they pack it poorly, I tend to readjust it right when I'm walking away and usually there's no harm at all. Most of the time, they get it right. But the cashiers/checkers, ugh. I get that you're trying to do your job. I get that there might be people in line behind me and you've been working a long shift and you're tired. Go ahead, slide those cans and jars, I know they'll be fine. But don't slide them into the cushion of my bag of chips. That doesn't happen often, but what happens way too much is them practically tossing or bowling my fruit down to the bagging area. Don't toss my bananas, and don't roll my apples and oranges or what have you. I hate mushy fruit, and that it really drives me nuts that in trying to be an efficient cashier and speed me through my checkout, you do far more damage than the rare (for me, apparantly not so rare for Carrie) poor bagging job. Most bigger grocery stores tend to have this problem, but it used to be a frequent thing for me at the Davis Safeways. -["users/edwins" ES]

	+ ------ + ''2009-06-21 02:18:32'' [[nbsp]] Went in the N. Davis location this afternoon and got busted by the "head clerk" and her "regional manager" for using internet coupons. Apparently even the management are not following their own [http://www.safeway.com/IFL/Grocery/Coupons-Policy Safeway Coupon Policy]. She told me they're not taking internet IP coupons because they could be "copied", and told me rudely "not to come in here gain, since they'll not be taking those coupons". I am using legitimate manufacturer's coupons printed from safeway.com, for God's sake (only 2 coupons are allowed per computer)! I said "I'm calling corporate" and she told me "this is their corporate policy". Hello? Read your own company website! I was more amused by the ignorance of the "head clerk" and some "regional manger" she talked to on the phone to confirm this "policy". I'm bringing my business elsewhere. I have a feeling that Davis is such an affluent community that they don't see many couponers :( I got trouble at Rite Aid for using coupons too. It's stupid of them to treat coupon users like criminals since it's the manufacturer that are going to pay them!! --["Users/val"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-06-17 12:17:05'' [[nbsp]] Dear Safeway Grocery Baggers and Cashiers: + + Please stop smashing my fruits and vegetables!!! If you want to smash produce and put it back on the shelf that is one thing, but once I have paid for the things in my shopping cart, they belong to me and as my property they should be treated as such. If YOU had paid $5 for a bag of apples, or $4 for a bunch of bananas I know for a fact you wouldn't be smashing them. + + Here are a few simple guidelines for bagging groceries, since it is apparent that Safeway refuses to train you properly. If you cannot understand how to follow these rules, then please just get out of my way and let me bag my own groceries thanks: + + 1. SOFT THINGS GO WITH OTHER SOFT THINGS. Hard things with hard things, and heavy things with, that's right you guessed it, OTHER HEAVY THINGS. Some heavy things just go it alone, because they are either too big for a bag, or too heavy, or would be a waste to bag at all. + + 2. If I have 3 canvas bags this does not mean all of my groceries should fit into them. Sometimes I buy more, sometimes less, if I have more I would like some plastic bags. If I have less you shouldn't put all of my groceries into one bag (see rule 1). + + 3. If I have a large canvas bag this doesn't mean you can load 20 lbs worth of groceries into ONE BAG. I have to carry this from my car to my house and would prefer to have an even distribution of weight per bag. To be honest you have no clue how people carry things home so you better pack in the most evenly distributed manner possible. + + 4. Layering is very important, as things come down the line put the heavier and more sturdy items in first and then lighter and more easily broken, bruised and squished items on top or last. Watch out for sharp poking objects. A bag of chips ARE NOT a cushion for 6 cans of soup!!! + + Seriously folks, if you cannot bag groceries how can you expect to move up in the grocery business? Let alone the world? How would you like it if I came over to your house and sat on your cereal, stomped on your greens, practiced juggling with your pears, used your bananas for a hand cushion and threw tomato cans at your mushrooms? Seriously. I will do it and you don't have to pay me a cent. + + Let me re-iterate for the last time, if you can't bag groceries, don't even try. I prefer to do it myself because I am a control freak and if I am paying $75 for basic necessities I want them to actually be EDIBLE when I get home. + + Sincerely, + + Carrie Bishop + 2-year Davis Resident --["Users/CarrieBishop"]

	+ * I've noticed this in a lot of the big grocery stores over the last several years. (Safeway, Albertons, Ralphs, etc). Seems like the 12.5oz box or whatever it is (10.5 for the healthy cereals with berries ^_^) is becoming the main size. I think it generally was 14 or 15 or 16.5oz prior depending on the manufacturer typically, with the "family" size ones generally being 20oz+? I might very well be off on my sizes, I'm rather sleepy. I almost always buy my cereal at ["Target"] - it's far cheaper, and typically the larger boxes. More selection than Costco... Also IDNE, [http://www.yumsugar.com/2753959 this is a bad link] but Kellog is testing out ''a space-saving box that is expected to fit into pantries more easily. The eco-friendly design holds the same amount of cereal but uses less materials''. Hopefully similar things are at play? -["users/edwins" ES]

	+ ------ + ''2009-06-08 00:43:25'' [[nbsp]] I don't usually have strong reactions to what I see on the shelves at supermarkets, but what I saw tonight at Safeway really upset me. The boxes of cereal are now about 1/4 to 1/6 the size that they used to be. It's not the hidden (massive) price increase that bothers me so much as the fact that Safeway is now selling cereal in boxes that hold only enough cereal for 2-3 breakfasts, thus greatly increasing the amount of packaging that must be used, the number of trees that must be cut down, and the amount of trash that will wind up in landfills. What a horrible waste of resources! I used to buy one box and it would last me two weeks. Now one box might last me for 2 or 3 days. If I continue to buy just one box, I have to make twice the number of trips to the store, wasting energy. If I buy more than one box, I create much more paper waste. I think that shopping at costco instead of safeway may be in order now - at least they carry reasonable sizes of food... + + I don't know if this is actually Safeway's fault, or a change in product packaging for cereal makers to hide the massive increases in their products over the past few years. But I would encourage shoppers to consider buying their cereal at stores that respect their shoppers and the environment by carrying products in reasonable sizes and packaging. --["Users/IDoNotExist"]

I have bought their french bread, and it did have a coating of white flour on the bottom of the bread. I think it is used to keep the bread from sticking to the oven. Safeway french bread is baked daily. Safeway guarantees their french bread to be fresh at 5PM or it is free. I doubt mold can grow in that short of a time period. However, at another Safeway that was not located in Davis, I bought freshly baked wheat bread which grew a little green mold after several days of sitting unrefrigerated (around 3 or 4 days at least). I believe it had to do with the freshly baked bread not having preservatives and the fact that the bread came in plastic bags which trapped moisture. You should freeze the bread that you cannot eat in one day. Don't leave bread sitting around for more than a day. I trust the french bread to be fresh, but not the Safeway pre-cut sliced loaves of Whole Wheat bread baked in the store that is packaged in plastic bags. --["Users/MaxLucas"]	+ ''2009-05-27 00:09:35'' [[nbsp]] I have to say I have never seen "white mold" on bread at Safeway.

At home we opened to eat and we found that there was white mold on the surface(we couldn't see it before because the mold was on under the first slice of bread). The mold was not only on a slice but rest of the whole bread. We were upset and disguisted about it so we brought it to the customer service. The employee there just gave our money($3) back and didn't say sorry or anything. She was like, "here you go." and gave us the money back. That was it. Don't buy bread at South Safeway.

They do not kiss ass like in N Davis. However, there are DEF cuter guys workin in S Davis, and they are funny as hell, and love to flirt! You wanna p/u a cute guy? Yeah, hit up S Davis Safeway! Talk about customer service! LOL! You should see their service AFTER work hours! :) But seriously, once you are a reg customer, they take real good care of you, they just take a little more warmin up. The meat and fish departments are a huge disapointment though. Nothing local or organic. Co-op and Nugget much better for that. However, S Davis meat dept guys rock! They will do just abt anything you ask short of ropin and killin the cow you want! :) I don't eat the sushi there though, but who the hell eats Safeway sushi anyway? Hit Moshi Moshi across the street, or Zen Toro, or if you like Korean style, nothing beats Kim's downtown. You can get 21 pieces for $4, and she makes it fresh everyday. Granted, nothing raw and exotic, but cheap, tasty and healthy! Back on subject... Safeway employees do get paid well, and they stay a long time, so it can't be too bad. They are just very short staffed and busy, but they work hard and do their best. But dealing with drunk college students and crying 3 year olds day in and day out isn't gonna make anyone overly pleasant. But be sweet to em and they'll take good care of you! ;) --["Users/sthdvsgrl"]

I think after 2 years it would have been closer to about $10. I was thinking "what the hell, I thought Safeway employees got paid well?". Apparently that is no longer true due to a new union contract. It may have changed since then. The point is, there might be employees there that are only making a few cents over minimum wage. That might help disgruntle them. I can't comment about actual working conditions, though. I got offered a better job before my orientation thing, so I never ended up working there. Also, to everyone who complains about sale items not being available...that's pretty much true about every store. When things go on sale a lot of people tend to come in and buy them. Sometimes the whole point of a sale is to get rid of the items. --["Users/BradBenedict"]

I worked at this safeway for six years and I understand everyone has different experiences, some good and some bad, but dayum! For the people saying Safeway sucks to work at. I started when I was 16 and was making 20 bucks an hour by the time I was 18 and has all the benefits you could possibly ask for and my job was NOT hard. You get out of it what you put into it so if you worked there and were lazy or you just think you know what it is like to work there guess again (that was in 2004 so maybe it's not like that anymore). I'll admit that all the employees aren't always very friendly. As far as prices go, yes it's cheaper to go to Woodland and shop at Food4Less. You can get a pallet of cheez-its for like 2.99 but for the students whose mommies and daddies didn't buy them a car, for the students who walk or ride bikes and need an accessible supermarket 24 HOURS A DAY Safeway is extremely convenient and not horribly expensive. If you know how to shop and use the ad you can leave with a lot of food and not spend a lot of money. They have great deals every week including BOGOs. The lines are long, it's a very busy store. If you go in at night and wait in huge lines, I'm sorry it does suck but that's the manager NOT scheduling nearly enough people as we need to get those people out the door and everyone takes it out on the checkers. So for those who are in line yelling at the checkers or dropping your groceries and leaving all pissed off, take a minute to call in to the manager or write out a comment card because if enough people did, maybe something would change. Believe me, all the checkers have tried to tell them. Anyway I'm done ranting. I get annoyed when things are out of stock constantly too they need to work on that, but if they don't carry something you want, they will order it for you, just ask. --["Users/dvntboy"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-12-16 23:41:37'' [[nbsp]] Me and my friend went into North Safeway to buy a duraflame log around 9pm on a Sunday, the line was about 20 people long and only one checker was their. As we walked in, the checker just stared at us as we walked in, and than called her manager to the front over the P.A. and as we looked at the logs, a man who worked their (manager maybe) asked us if we could use any help. He looked very annoyed with us for whatever reason and I have NEVER been asked if I needed help in any supermarket anywhere, so we told him we had what we needed. As we walked away, he walked over to the logs and gave it a once over than opened a new lane just as we got to the front. He told us he could help us than told the 15 other people who jumped behind us that he was only helping us as we had "an issue". He stared at us, not saying anything until we left... it was the weirdest experience of my life and im never going back their again... --["Users/xack10"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-12-11 00:14:59'' [[nbsp]] I bought cold chicken wings from the Deli, the first time the wings tasted great, the second time half the wings were rotten. I gave them another chance one month later and this time 1/4 were rotten. The rotten wings were bitter, smelly, and BLACK. I can't believe Safeway would sell rotten chicken wings, and it wasn't a coincidence, it happened twice! --["Users/YummyApple"]

	+ * Actually, Safeway gets new shipments of items every day, in the wee hours of the morning. Thus, if an item is out, there is almost no chance of it being in back. The back part of a standard Safeway is very small, and usually only contains a few things like cereals or soda, so an employee can usually tell immediately if what a customer is asking for has any chance of being in back. Also, your average courtesy clerk has absolutely no say in what gets put into the ads, or what gets restocked each morning. -- ["Users/JoePomidor"]

If your item scans at the wrong price, they will credit you up to $5 or give you the item for free if it is under $5. Signs will be posted when it takes effect. For those who do not want to have their real name spoken by the cashier when using a club card, you can try the phone number (408)555-0153. It is a card made with the address of the Paper Street Soap Company from Fight Club with the name of Tyler Durden. --["Users/Jedron"]

She was still unloading the basket when I looked at our total. It was around 300 something. I figured that it would go down when we ran our Safeway card. It did, but only by about 10 bucks. Our total was around 360. I then asked the cashier if that was right. His response was. "yeah, food's expensive these days(I'm paraphrasing)". In utter shock, we walked out of the store but stopped to have a look at the receipt. Lo and behold, we were charged 187 dollars for a stinkin' bell pepper!! And we didn't even buy any bell peppers!!! We got our money back, but the moral of the story is, don't take the cashier's word for it. --["Users/GabeDavis"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-04-02 11:01:36'' [[nbsp]] I had the unfortunate experience of shopping at the north Safeway just last week. I am personally partial to the Nugget, since I worked there for several years before I got my “big kid” job, but I was open minded and had a few gift cards I had won in a raffle to burn. The store was clean and I actually ran into a few people I knew, since I don’t live in Davis, I was surprised. I found everything I needed and my trip was going well. Since this was my last stop after many errands, my 1 year old son was becoming less and less cooperative the more I wandered down the aisles, so I broke down and gave him an Easter balloon, which I intended to buy. By the time I got the counter for check out and after placing all my groceries on the belt (which is a huge pet peeve of mine!) I proceeded to watch the woman scan my groceries. She asked if I had “paid for the balloon in floral?” I said no (didn’t know that was an option), she said, “OK then I need to scan it”. Now picture me, a Mom, trying to pry a balloon ribbon out of the hands of a 1 year old in need of a nap was not going to have the outcome anyone wanted to witness or be a part of. So, I told her, “it says $3.99 right here, can you just punch it in manually?” she responded with, no I really need to scan it. I said oh ok and attempted, once again, to pry the ribbon from my son’s hands, at the moment I realized the bar scan was on a sticker that was removable from the ribbon, I said “I got it, here it is”, instead of taking the sticker, she walked away to get “another” balloon to scan. When she returned she scanned the new balloon and I looked and her and said, you apparently do not have children, paid and left. I will not shop at that Davis Safeway again; I don’t care if they are giving away free stuff. --["Users/mzscott911"]

Yes, there are days when it seems like they've been picked clean, often making me feel like a catastrophy is immenint and I'm the only one that didn't know about it. However, the staff is always helpful and pleasant. The guy and gal that run the sushi station are always willing to make a sushi tray to order. I think the best feature about this Safeway, is the starbucks. I love that no one corrects me when I order a LARGE drink. Every other starbucks makes me feel like an idiot when I don't use the appropriate lingo. --["Users/MamaLoebs"]
