    This FoodMaxx is a pretty decent FoodMaxx this location has fresh vegetables and fruits that I like to get from this location. The meat is decent here. I like to meet here. It's pretty decent as far as the service goes. They're pretty helpful at times so overall this location is pretty cool. Just stop in and get what you need

    Paper on the ground

    Ambiance: I went yesterday to the one in Fremont near the closed red lobster. At the time, absolutely no carts to be found. They're scattered everywhere. Most people wouldn't make a big deal about not being able to find a cart but as a loyal shopper, it's the first most important thing. We need carts if we buy multiple things. I'm not an octopus. Paper all over the ground. I see carts scattered everywhere and not lined up the way they should be or garbage in the parking lot and paper all over the front of the outside store: makes me wanna go someplace else. This location Runs neck and neck to the one in Hayward for the ambiance. at least there's no piss smell. Bathroom could look a little cleaner.

    1 star bc I walked in and the store was so clean. Everything was so easy to find. It was a five star. I mean this store smelled so clean through my mask. I'm finding everything and more so quickly. I'm so excited bc I have 10 min. To pick up my daughter. I go to self check out this is my 5 to one star drop. To see two young men employees doing nothing!!!!! Burns my skin up!!!! They're talking laughing! Which is great! However, greet your customers! Stop laying on your register like you're 90! You're a kid come on! I called you over four times !!! Than you rush over and not even listen! And complete what I asked you to do! Your to busy playing with your coworker! Not acceptable! He should be else where! You should smile,greet your customers and help them! Learn while you're young kid! At your age I had manners! Beginning of the month 2.1.2023 fast lane 1 14:43:39 27300 Hesperian Blvd store 406!

    I remember back in the day when the butcher used to trim the meat. Make it presentable and cutting the fat knowing we will not eat it. Now days, they leave the fat on and charge us for it. Every penny taken from their customers count. No matter what a rip off it is. I am disabled and had this delivered to me so I had no choice but to accept. Cannot physically take it back.

    Aww Hayward you never fail to amuse me. Do you take Bart and really enjoy the smell of pee and parking lots full of trash. If you are use to Bart. Then FoodMaxx is right up your alley. Then you will love FOODMaxx not only are they open late. The homeless and crack heads like to hang out here. My people love to talk to me and hit me up for money. I personally don't mind but when they take number 1's so close to my car it really makes me want to avoid this place. The outside of this place might be scary for some. But once you get inside you will find some pretty good deals. Items are priced very well and good deals can be had here. They do a pretty good job with this place on the inside keep it's pretty stalked up. It can get very busy during peak hours and get ready to wait 10 + minutes no matter what time you go in line. They don't bag for yourself but people who are not use to this will really hold up the line. This place is about getting good deals and getting out as fast as you can. They just need to staff more people on the register. The lines can be very massive if you go at peak times 20 + minutes waiting. I like to go late at night when the lines are way shorter but they only run 1 person at the register and if you have a Hayward crack head in front of you who hasn't taken a shower it not the most fun in the world. Good Prices, Fresh Produce and Saving are great I give you the extra star. But you got to keep the parking lot a bit neater and staff better. I'll give you 2 star for FoodMaxx if you don't mind the ghettoness it can be a good place to save money. I'm from Hayward so it's second nature to me I'll keep shopping here and hope the homeless people in the parking lot of FoodMaxx avoid my car as there next rest stop.

    Long lines, slow checkers and you are sure to be sent to the wrong isle by one of the clerks. But it is cheaper than some.

    Issue: Incredibly rude cashier Cashier: Baron…read moreTime: 6/21/26 at 2:57 PM. As I was paying for my groceries, Baron (gentleman with a rose tattoo on his ear) accused me of throwing my grocery bags in the bagging area. He asked me, "Would you like me to bag your groceries?" To which I said, "Yes please". He then said "Okay, well you threw your bags. Don't throw your bags if you want us to bag them because we are providing a service for you." I was confused because I 100% didn't think I threw my bags and also, it was 100% unintentional if it did seem aggressive. What Baron doesn't know is that I'm a big fan of Sprouts. I am friends with an ex-Sprouts store manager. I also recommended to the Mayor of Hayward himself that we should get a grocery store like Sprouts in Hayward. And I'm also friends with current Sprouts employees. I would never, ever be rude to a Sprouts employee. After I clarified with Baron how exactly I should place my bags, he then said, "There are cameras in the store." As if to threaten further action if I did this again. What was most embarrassing was there was another customer right next to me while this was going on. The good thing was that the other customer was smiling at me as if to say that he knew Baron was overreacting. I called the store manager on duty (Thomas) shortly after to report this behavior. I'm writing this review to ensure Baron gets this feedback.

    After a day of running errands, my brother was giving me a ride home when he says, "I need to get…read moresome flatbread..." I remembered a place on Jackson Street that I had gone to 5 years ago that had a tremendous selection - looked it up on Yelp and it was no longer on Jackson, but was listed in Castro Valley. So we went thought we'd go by and give it a try. Great decision! The "new" store in Castro Valley is much brighter, cleaner, nicer than the old location. I think the old location had more stuff from Eastern Europe, but this new location seems to have a broader selection, with more stuff from Western Europe and the Middle East. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful - always willing to answer questions and even give tips on how to use the products that they sell. And his recommendations have been great - we asked him about which tahini and zaatar to get (they have many different brands/types of each...) and the ones he recommended have been way tastier than any of the brands that you find in most markets. Especially good was his recommendation on lebnah - he said that the brands they carry are all good, but they have some that they package in-house that was special. I tried it - it was less expensive than the other brands, but was the very best lebnah that I have ever tasted! Richer, creamier, with just the right amount of tang. Wonderful stuff! Anyway, Crossroads is a nice, clean, well-lit place with a great selection of unique products, and friendly, knowledgeable sales staff. Well worth a trip!

I went to pick it up on Wednesday, only to be told it wasn't ready yet. When I explained that I had already called it in on Sunday, the employee initially said she didn't see anything in the system and told me to come back the next day. After I reminded her again that I had called in, she suddenly "found" it and told me to come back in 2 hours and that I would receive a text message when it was ready. I never received the text message they promised. I returned on Friday, and once again they couldn't locate my prescription. After more searching, they finally found it -- but they also tried to give me someone else's order at the same time. I had to explain that I only had one prescription and asked them to verify it using my phone number, not just my last name. The entire experience was very unprofessional, disorganized, and frustrating. On top of that, the drive-thru wait was over 20 minutes. For something as important as prescriptions, accuracy and communication should be a priority. This pharmacy seriously needs to improve its customer service and organization.

I'm also old enough that I can say "I remember when. . . " And not sound like I'm auditioning for a part I am too young for . . . So, here goes: I remember when I lived at 12th&Taraval in SF. Just three straight uphill blocks from a Safeway. I lived in a 3rd story walk up apartment with my boyfriend and two cats, Blitzkrieg and Zippo. I would get groceries just to get paper bags sometimes to change my catliter. So these paper bags had handles and could safely hold groceries carried home often in Carl the fog or straight up rain, and THEN hold 10-15 pounds of soiled cat litter and poop down 3 flights of stairs without so much as tearing, let alone becoming completely structurally unsound. This is my grocery bag upon being picked up once. Once. You can't tell me it's not purposeful that these bags are garbage. It's bad enough Safeway gouges us on grocery prices, but to then disrespect the groceries we do but from them by making sure they drop on the floor immediately because of this shameful excuse for a paper bag. It's unreasonable. Completely unreasonable. This bag has English muffins, a piece of salmon and ladies hygiene pads. Almost no weight, and it tore upon being touched by a human. Safeway is a huge grocery chain . . . Do better.
