      I am a pastor at my church and have not had an issue with Safeway. On March 29, I stopped at Safeway on my way into my office to purchase a plant for a church member who had just lost a sister to death. I found a beautiful plant and took it to her and her family. She was so appreciative and loved the plant.3 to 4 days later she called me to say that the plant was dying. This was a beautiful basket with three potted plants and sure enough one of the pots was dying. I took basket back to Safeway. I was told by someone in customer that he couldnt replace the plant and that the customer service manager was out. He said he has to complete a refund request. I suggested that he just replace the pot that was dying. He said only the manager could do that and she would get back with me. No one has called even after I made several trips to the store to meet with her. On one of those trips, apparently she was in the store but she was not available to see me. I was told that she would call me back. As with the other times, no one has even tried to reach out to me. They know me because I am a loyal Safeway member and Safeway is my grocer of choice. After no communication with management, I sent a priority mail letter to the Store manager on 4/14 with an expected delivery date of 4/16. As with all other visits and phone calls, no one has tried to reach me to discuss this matter. Please note that this has never happened with other Safeway stores I regularly visit. I have pictures of the plant on the day it was returned. I want a complete refund and an explanation why the manager has avoided me with no explanation as to what happened. Safeway is my go to grocery store. I hope this type of customer service is store specific. Please advise. ******** ***** *********

      On 04/16/25, Safeway charged my card for three different gas transactions where the pump was not working. I called in the following day and was told that they could see that the pump wasnt working, that it was a temporary hold, and that my money would be refunded while on a recorded line. The following day, the transactions went from pending to finalized. I called in yet again, told them about the recording which they refused to review, and then they just called and claimed that I did in fact get gas when I did not. The ticket number is Ticket Number: AFS0324850, and I spoke with ****. My money needs to be refunded.

      On 4/22/2025 at approximately 15:25, I checked out of the checkout line an proceeded to exit the store. As I walked thru the exit door with the grocery cart, the wheels locked up and lunged me forward into the cart and I injured my left leg on the cart. The store associate came forward and attempted to take the cart and never asked if I was ok. I immediately requested the store manager. The store manager began explaining that the cart will lock up if I don't wait five minutes to leave. It locks up to keep people from stealing. I advised him the neither of his explanations has anything to do with me. I would like to file an injury report. The associate took the basket and placed it back in service. I informed the manager that it would be best if he took the cart out of service and he ignored me. He began to write the accident report and requested my social security number and I declined. I contact the customer service number to report the incident. I've been on the phone for over 40min. I explained to the customer service associate what took place and she began to ask me the same questions over again and stated that I fell. I then asked for a supervisor or to speak to another associate, due to her not listening to my narrative of what happened. I am requesting for a call back from Corporate.

      As a black man, I am no stranger to being followed at malls, stores and businesses. However, this location of Safeway has taken trolling to new levels. I came in for a gallon of milk and was stopped by their new security that apparent wants to see every customers receipt. ******** is an area of ****** where income and property is 35% more than the city median income. Personally, I hold two engineering degrees, so as an educated, well-paid individual, Im not comfortable with this shake-down. This location added cameras for all aisles a year or so ago. They also added an area with household items that you cant leave without paying for items separately. If this is the new standard for Safeway or this area, my 50-year relationship with them will come to an end and I will do what I have literally never done and become a **** ***** customer. Making people uncomfortable is not good business and if you have issues with theft, you either need a single person dedicated to it, or stiffer penalties for those caught to deter future crime, but I AM NOT going to be shook down over milk, eggs and cheese.

      Complaint: 23219419

      I am rejecting this response because: "Everyone's doing it" is not an acceptable reply and I have not experienced this tactic at any other grocer in the area. Pricing accuracy is again the responsibility of the store, if proper ******** is an issue, that again falls on the business. It's not a requirement by law to show a receipt, so I will be ignoring any request to show mine. Furthermore if I am forcibly stopped or wrongly accused of a crime, Safeway can expect the full weight of a lawsuit to be served without hesitation.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,Im filing a complaint against Safeway/********** due to the mishandling of my Sincerely Health account and poor customer service.On April 6, 2025, I contacted Safeway Customer Support about a refund issue. On April 8, 2025, Safeway changed the email address on my account without my authorization. I was then locked out of my account, which had ~****** points (redeemable as $10 in coupons). Despite providing full verification info, support was slow and unhelpful, and on April 19 I was told again that no account could be found. During the 3-week lockout, I also missed out on earning ~***** points ($9 value), which I typically earn weekly by completing goals.Because the issue remained unresolved and I couldnt risk further delay, I created a new Sincerely Health account under my updated email on April 19. Therefore, I am no longer requesting restoration of the original account, as I fear it may cause further issues. However, I am seeking compensation for:Approximately ****** points lost from my original account, which I regularly used to redeem cash coupons at a rate of ***** points = $1 (equivalent to $10 in value)An estimated ***** points missed due to being locked out for three weeks (equivalent to $9)The significant time, stress, and inconvenience caused by the delayed and inadequate support from Safeways customer service team Ive attached the full support email history. I hope the BBB can help bring this to a fair *************** Reference Numbers: ******** and ******** Sincerely,***

      Greetings *****,

      Thank you for contacting us about the issue you had recovering your Sincerely Health account.

      We investigated the issue and reviewed your conversation with our previous representative. It appears that you have more than one Safeway account, which caused confusion about which account your Sincerely Health account is linked to. You can only log in to your Sincerely Health account through the ********************** account where it was created. This is why you were unable to access your Sincerely Health account.

      To resolve this issue and recover the points you had and should have accumulated, we will be adding a $20 credit that you can use on your next visit to the store. We just need to confirm the following information linked to your account so we know where to add it:

      Name on the account:
      Email address:
      Phone number:


      Once you provide this information, we will add the credit.

      I am rejecting this response because: the $20 credit is just compensating for the points lost and missed, but no compensation received for the significant time, stress, and inconvenience caused by the delayed and inadequate support from Safeways customer service team.

      In response to Safeway's reply, the reason that I have to use different emails in registering for the Sincerely Health Account was that they system didn't let me to use the same email as my Safeway account to do the registration, so that's the only way for me to use a different one.

      We were charged around $220 for other people's groceries at this Safeway yesterday after bringing a smaller overcharge (failure to apply digital coupons) to the attention of the cashier. When we discovered the charges and called, staff at the store were already aware and told us to bring it up with the store manager today. This would necessitate a minimum two-hour drive back to the store; luckily, we called again to speak with the store manager, who we had been told would be available from 8a-5p today, and were informed by the assistant manager that the store manager was out. Staff had made no effort to retract their promise that the store manager would be available to us. They claim they have no means to contact customers they have overcharged despite all of our purchases being tracked through our member account.We are overcharged most of the time we shop at this Safeway. The digital coupon prices shown on the shelves are almost never honored unless you make a special request for a refund. We have frequently been charged for multiples of things we bought one of (for example, 33 avocados when we bought one). Though the overcharges are shown on the receipt after we have already paid, the method of accounting while being rung up makes it difficult to see and stop the overcharge as it is occurring. Some staff view these overcharges humorously, joking while they issue refunds. The consistent pattern of overcharging, the store's policy of requiring refunds to be made in person and then not having customer service or store managers available when you try to make an in-person refund request, combined with their lack of procedure for restitution of the time loss and financial distress they routinely inflict on customers amounts to an intentional system of fraud in our opinion. We want these policies addressed at the corporate level and believe that "digital coupon" prices should be removed from the shelves as deceptive advertising until accountability is assured.

      I tried to purchase 2 Target Gift cards ($500 each) @ Safeway in ******* on Apr. 9th 2026. My request was turned down by store employees because they suspect that it maybe a scam. Talked to store manager (***** ********) and I was told that his cashiers were suspicious about the rational behind my purchase. As I told 2 store employees that I plan to give tese gift cards to my daughter and son-in-law for their birthdays. As a matter of fact, it's not Safeway's business why I want to purchase gift cards. I gave the cashier my credit card along with my Hawaii Driver's license but that's not good enough for Sefeway to allow me purchase these 2 gift cards. I told the store manager that I've been a Kaneohe Safeway customer for the last 38 years. I need to know that if Safeway has a written policy to determine who are those customers allowed to purchase gift cards there and why I was turned down? Is the decision arbitrarily determined by cashiers or simply subjectively determined by customer's appearance (dress code, accent, hair length, senior citizens or ...) I was very frustrated, inconvenienced and disappointed at Safeway that I shop all the time. Please help!

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. However, only time can tell if Safeway deserves my continued business and support as I have been shopping at Safeway for the past 4 decades. Better and more efficient training on Safeway cashiers is the key to differentiate true scammers and loyal customers. 

      Sincerely,

      In February I had clipped a bonus path coupon in the app to get 6000 reward points for spending $1500 in the month, which I did, by shopping exclusively at Safeway. I never received the points and I tried multiple points of contact for customer service who either stopped responding to me or told me they could not help me.Then again in April, I had clipped $20 worth of cash off coupons and done a transaction in the store. The cashier had to back out the transaction and told me I needed to redo it at customer service because something was wrong at the till. My $20 worth of cash off coupons disappeared and were not able to be recovered. I was told there is nothing that can be done.I would like both these situations rectified or I am exclusively shopping at ******* going forward. If you cant give me my points, then cancel and refund my subscription because there is no value in being your customer.
