Safeway

This Safeway had no one on my meat counter for 18 whole minutes of my life, I am NOT impressed with this because he was on 'break' listening to music and we should not have waited that for for 2 steaks.

Bathrooms are closed. No cilantro. No parsley. No shallots. I didn't bother to venture any further to look for things that they don't have. Waste of time.

They need a self serve check out.

The lines are so long. I really hate shipping here in comparison to other Safeways.

Once they fix their till issues I will change my review.

this is another safeway that is over seen by Roger Broberg and once again food quality coming out of the bakery sucks when will head office give there head a shake and wake up

There are some good and bad things about this store.
Parking can be a problem at Christmas. I love parcel pickup.
I do not love their management trainee. He needs to learn about customer service.
Some of the cashiers seem very stressed out.
The meat cutters could be better.
The bakery is pretty good.

It's no downtown Safeway with Alex behind the sandwich counter, but this Safeway's got some good things going for it.

1. It's in Market Mall. All malls should come complete with a grocery store. It's the one thing Chinook is missing. The malls that do have grocery stores really are your one-stop-shop for everything.
2. It's one of those fancy-schmancy newer layouts with the pharmacy right in the middle instead of at the back. It was my first time at this location, and you know, I think it was actually easier to find what I needed.
3. The checkouts are quick. This is typically the case in any Safeway I've been to, but it counts just the same. When I'm at the grocery store, I like to get through the checkout line as quickly as possible. In fact, this is true of just about any store. I enjoy the browsing/shopping part. I dislike the waiting in line part. Granted, I was here at around 7 pm on a Sunday, but the cashier was quick to ring me through just the same.
4. It's ideally located for those in the area without vehicles. That's just a long winded way of saying it's within walking distance for a lot of folk. Does that make it good for the environment?

I have yet to find a Safeway that I don't enjoy shopping at (except maybe the one just north of 16th Ave, but that's a review for another time).

You know what's convenient? Spending a day shopping at the mall, only to realize that you need to pick up a couple of groceries and finding out that the mall you're already in actually HAS a grocery store inside of it!

This was my recent experience at Market Mall.

The LAST thing I wanted to do was make an extra trip over to the grocery store after I had just finished spending hours in the mall. So lucky for me, I discovered the Safeway that is inside Market Mall. Ingenious I tell you!

It's got all the glory of a grocery store, but it's inside a mall. You can swing by on your way out of the mall, grab the couple things you need, and head straight home!

It was the perfect ending to my shopping spree :)

Here's to getting all your shopping done in one place. Huzzah!

Today I had forgotten my inhaler at home and was having a hard time breathing. Brenda in the pharmacy is extremely nice and was super fast at filling the prescription. Less than 15 minutes! Fastest pharmacy ever, super impressed. Much appreciated.

Do not come here if you want to be out quick. Always 1 person in cash out and if you're lucky maybe two. Otherwise you will be spending 15 minutes just waiting to cash out. Absolutely ridiculous for such a large store.

I've been a Safeway MM shopper for 15years; I have steadily seen a decline in customer service; my latest 2 examples. week of Nov 28/14 I asked the Bakery for some cream cheese....I did not ask for it for free, I had a shopping cart full of groceries and would have gladly paid for the cream cheese...the Bakery woman (glasses, mousy hair and rude) spoke with her back to me and basically refused. Yesterday Dec 6/14, I always take cash out as well, my bill was $80.00, I asked for 80.00 cash....I was refused because apparently the Store Manager now has a policy that you can only take out 1/2 of your bill.....???, Let's talk about the "women" at the deli....there can at any one time be about 3-4 women behind that counter, but to get service out of them is another thing. Safeway Corporate.....do you think maybe you need an overhaul of staff at this location?? It's a joke!
