Yet another Safeway, yet another review for their deli department…read more Safeways deli department recently started selling chicken nuggets and everyone raves about them, so wanted to try some and they are so good! They taste exactly like the chicken nuggets at McDonald's. I got the10 piece for $4.99 which to me was a great deal. The nuggets were fluffy, crispy, had a perfect amount of crunch in its skin, tender and hot when I ate them. I will definitely try them with their $9 lunch combo meal, and for that price it's unbeatable. Overall; Safeways deli department is an excellent choice if you're in the mood for something quick, fresh hot or cold. They have lots of options for everyone - thank you!

She didn't even try to greet me, all she did was glance over with a miserable look in her eye. I understand it's a retail job but at least be attentive to customers, I paid cash and not once did she ask what method of payment I was using or if I needed help with anything. I waited for a moment to see if she would pay attention to me and she was just looking down in the other direction until I finally told her it was cash. I definitely will be using self checkout if she's in the register next time.

Unnecessary Rudeness is the setting for this location (Alvin). I am in awe reading the other…read morereviews. My incident is as follows: 1) Had to cash a Credit Union check for which I do not have an account with. 2) Attempted to do what the majority would do - Deposit the check into my online personal virtual account via my bank's mobile app. 3) I signed the back and took a picture of front and back as I have done before, but this time it was declined because the system could not verify the check. Who knew that the check needed to be verified during NORMAL WORKING BUSINESS HOURS WITH? This defeats the whole purpose of having an online VIRTUAL Account you think?? I then get suggestions that physically going to my bank or to the Credit Union Bank itself or any check cashing establishment would suffice to resolve this issue. * I ONLY HAVE ONLINE BANK. 4) I called this venue to confirm if this was possible, the woman that answered said "You come here tomorrow" after giving them the info on the check and after they called the credit union bank to try to verify.  Not too polished on the customer service thingy I thought, but alrighty then, sounds like a green light for me to go there tomorrow. 5) Next day, I come and the first person who noticed me walk in,  called me to her window, who so happens to be the same person who I spoke with on the phone the day before. 6) Before the exchanging of "Hello, how are you today", she flipped over my check and heckled out "You sign back of check, we cannot cash....you deposit already right?"  Excuse me but WTF was that accusatory statement? coming from the most untrained, unprofessional, tone defiant voice of a woman? 7) At a loss for words, I just turned on the voice recorder on my phone. 8) She then proceeded to call the Credit Union Bank to verify if my check was legit all the while sputtering out "I don't think we can cash for you but I try ok....cause you sign already...but I will try".   9) Personnel on the phone verified that the check is good to go! 10) The disappointment and hate she then exhibited as if I had done her wrong, said..."I call my supervisor, I cannot cash this check, you sign back and deposit already....but I try ok....Fee will be 50%" 11) At this point, I'm having my out of body experience,  trying to hold back the unleashing of a possible KAREN from within. 12) But me being me, I paused any actions as I still had hopes that this power puff woman would just cash my FREAKING CHECK that I she assumed I already deposited and charge me 50%! But NOOO.....instead....she slapped the check onto the counter and as if by default or life lessons she adheres to, to be away with anyone who is of no use to you.  Since she won't cash my check, there is no money to be made from me.  She said, and I will never forget this moment, in Vietnamese (will translate) while doing the 'shoo..go away gesture' with her hand - "OK, go away....get out of here".  Did I report this incident? I did send an email, but as you can see from the many negative reviews that this "long time established" place has...I don't think they really care or even mind. I had a good friend that worked here when it first opened.  She was great.  My apologies to her and to those who will work here in the future.  All I know is that, there can be times, even with all the right training and discipline, will never be able to completely dissolve the true nature of a person's character.  This Customer Teller Rep Bi-Lingual Exchange Student Person is the reason why EDD was created.  We all pay into the system that will pay her to not work.  I've never ranted this aggressively long before, because aside from the Cash Checking trauma ("looking like i still do fraud" song) The bitterness still lingers.

Yet another Safeway…read more I always come to Safeway because they sell my favorite protein drinks. I grab at least two of them. Sometimes I will stock up and buy more. A very convenient, quick and easy drink that is a full meal by themselves. Even when they don't have them, I can always count on one of the stockers to check the back for me, and most times they find some for me. I am addicted to their Shamrock farms rockin' protein power builder max shakes. Thank you and I look forward to me next visit.

I'm part of the American Legion and we came in about a month and a half ago to get three of us put on the account because two of our guys passed away. We all signed paperwork, brought ss card and 2 id's. We never heard anything back. We had to physically all go back in to sign paperwork because the people here are so incompetent they don't know how to submit paperwork properly so we have to bring in our ID And they still can't locate our information. Their bankers tell us to come in anytime. One guy went in on a Friday another on a Saturday and the people who were supposed to help us out weren't working so they told us Monday. We came in Monday and those people still weren't working. Apparently there's no communication at this branch. I told them it's been over a month and this is outrageous that I'm the treasurer I have to have access to the account to pay bills. So another lady helped me that supposedly was gonna call me by day three and no later than day three and give me access to the account. Been over a week I still haven't heard anything and I've tried calling numerous times and you cannot get a hold of a person.

I first spied this Safeway while pulling into the tiny, cumbersome, dangerous parking lot of the…read morenearby UPS Store. I went on to check it out because I needed a little somethin' somethin', and more than a decade later, I've been here at least twenty times and have even used its DriveUp & Go services a couple of times. For a suburban Safeway, it's on the smaller side, but it isn't small. The selection is very good for the size of the store. The parking lot can be a mess, but it's shared with other businesses, so that's not really Safeway's fault. The most annoying part of the store is familiar to supermarket goers everywhere: There's not enough room between the checkout stands and the aisles themselves, so while you're waiting to check out, you're blocking people who are trying to zigzag their way through all the aisles. But why am I focusing on the negative? The people who work here are always nice, and they always have everything I need. I often come here before I go to Costanoa; and the first time that happened, I picked up a very reliable, affordable, and lightweight flashlight from here. I've since bought at least five more flashlights from that company, although I haven't seen them here (I ordered the rest from the company website) since that first time. It can feel like a trek getting here, but I had this entire ritualized pattern that is now slightly altered because of a certain restaurant's lack of pinball machines. You probably don't know what I'm talking about, and that's fine. Oh, and when my friend Dan lived near here, which wasn't for very long, we came to stock up on pretzels and carrots before a night of Wiz-War, and I was shocked that it was the UPS Store Safeway, as I think of it--sort of. There might be another Safeway farther down Homestead Road, and that store isn't as good. I think/believe this because GPS once led me to a different Safeway, even though I had punched in Homestead Road. Speaking of the roads around here, the blocks are ridiculously long in this part of Santa Clara, so if you miss the parking lot, don't do the San Francisco right-right-right move. Just make a U-turn. I'm normally a right-right-right guy, but if you do that here, it will take you forever.
