The ones in San Ramon and Livermore don't have the fresh sushi chef counter. Their sushi is pretty good for a quick workday lunch. It is comparable to the Safeway sushi that is near me.

My spouse works nearby and I've been in this store several times over the years. I was never very…read moreimpressed other than by the larger size and more modern design than most Lucky's stores. Today however, solidified my never using this store again. No shopping carts anywhere near the door, not the biggest deal as I only needed a handful of items, but left wondering if they expected customers to scour the parking lots to find one? Inside the store no hand baskets anywhere to be seen, walked down each checkout stand and no baskets there either..!! Walked up to the manager station and saw who appeared to be a manager, she was having an open heated discussion with another employee, never even looked up towards myself or the elderly man in front of me standing in front of the counter. I walked through the store to grab my items in my arms and get out of there. Stopped at the Ice cream aisle And Dryers ice cream was $8 & change which is significantly more than what Safeway is typically selling it for! Skipped that, found small packets of pickles on the end cap, grabbed one, and went to the checkout. I asked the checkout woman, who can only be described as "sullen", where the hand baskets were, she tersely replied "we don't have any".. Then came the pickles, they wouldn't ring up, she hollered at a woman in the self checkout asking about the price, she hadn't even seen them before. My checker asked her to go look up the price, had to ask 4 times, had to describe how to go look up the price. Woman comes back, says there's no price on the display, ( which is already what I said) and she says "just charge $2.. (I'm not even sure that tiny packet is worth $2, but I just want out of there by now.).!! Checker barely looks up at me, as she slides my stuff down the counter, gives a 1/2 hearted "thanks".. So much more letdowns, more employees than customers, not one of them made eye contact, most were milling around looking like they were trying to find something to do.. (Which wasn't asking any customers if they needed help).!! I was relieved to be driving away, drove to San Ramon Safeway and bought all of the other stuff I needed, Dreyers Ice cream was $2 cheaper, I was so much happier at Safeway that I spent $120.00 there.!!

This morning I visited the Starbucks inside this Safeway on Santa Rita Road. Lots of parking at the…read morefront entrance . The store has many cute displays for their sections ( wine , cheese , honey and cookies, donuts , sumner soft drinks , etc ) The lady is the Starbucks was super helpful and nice . She took my order and prepared the cheese , sausage breakfast muffin super fast . The food was very fresh and super delicious, hot in temperature. Since I have already drank my coffee , she offered to make me a cup of ice water . There were 3 chairs for customers to sit and eat or wait while they made your order . These were the only chairs they had within the whole store . But if you went outside, there were several metal picnic tables and chairs to choose . May he because it was for Covin , otherwise I would rather they have some tables indoor . I like the cooked food in the deli sections ( wings , hotdogs, etc ) and food becomes cold faster outside , especially in the winter . There were a wide selection of Starbucks cups for sale , some were California theme , even has one with Standford university logo! It was fun to browse and shop in this Safeway .

When the employee finally arrived, she said, "Don't ever do that." I apologized and explained we were in a rush. She replied, "That's not my problem," and then told me, "Patience is a virtue." I've seen this employee many times, and she's usually unfriendly, but today her behavior crossed the line. I reported the incident to the store manager because no customer should be spoken to that way.

Tried a third time...nothing. I started walking towards the front to get help and found a staff member finally coming. I guess that's one way to stop theft and stop sales at the same time! Grabbed some unsweetened iced tea bottles and went to check out. The shelf price was cheaper than price at register. When I pointed it out to the cashier he was helpless to do anything. Said I could speak to a supervisor at the customer service counter. Nobody there with a sign saying Customer Service was closed. Not even a suggestion of where to get help? Asked the closest cashier for advice about what to do. She was actually friendly but didn't know, referred me to a crabby career cashier who had no interest in assisting. Said there should be someone coming later today I could talk to. (not helpful) Said they were doing price changes so shelf tags might be wrong. Where is Weights and Measures when you need them!?! This Walmart is a prime location to rack up some fines. Unfortunately it seems that when trying to save money, management cuts payroll first, causing customer service to go down the toilet.

TJ's is one of my most favorite places to shop. In addition to the food, I love their plants, beautiful flowers, and greeting cards. They have an abundant assortment of cheeses, meats and snack foods. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful. They will look up an item for you and let you know when it will be restocked or if it is discontinued. I love their Kouign Amann, Chiles Rellenos con Queso, Marzano tomatoes, Saint Andre Triple Crème brie, jalapeno pepper jelly and of course, Hold the Cone ice cream. There is always something new and interesting to try and new seasonal items appear routinely. Most TJs have a parking lot that is always congested but this one isn't too bad. Even though we stopped by 30 minutes before closing, the store was packed with customers. There are plenty of cashiers to get you through the lines quickly and they are super friendly and courteous. And I am always amazed at how well they can pack everything into one bag!

I was shocked to spend $11 on just a 20oz bottle of Pepsi and a bag of potato chips -- $7 for chips and $4 for a soda is completely unreasonable, even for "organic" products. I shop at places like Whole Foods regularly, and even they don't charge those kinds of prices. When I asked the cashier to clarify, the response felt dismissive, as if I should just accept the markup without question. To make matters worse, as I browsed the store, I noticed several items that were past their expiration dates. If you're going to charge premium prices, the very least I expect is for the food to be fresh and safe to eat. That's just basic quality control. Unfortunately, between the inflated prices and expired goods, I can't recommend this store. I love supporting neighborhood spots, but this one left a bad impression -- both in service and value.

After shopping and putting my groceries in my trunk I went to the drivers side to open the door and I fell backwards hitting my head on the concrete curb.

When he and another staff saw that my head was bleeding they had me sit down, got me paper towels to apply to the wound.
