      Refilled two 5 gallon waters inside the store. While my wife was refilling the waters at the glacier water station, I went to customer service to pay for both 5 gallons of water. **** helped me as he was wonderful. He had a bright smile on and his service was phenomenal. Safeway is lucky to have him. He needed assistance on how to charge me to make sure he was charging me correctly. He asked store leader or *********************************. She was super rude with him, but also to me. She yelled at me in front of everyone. She was trying to clarify what refills yet I didnt not know Safeway has two refills stations at different prices. At the same time i thought she may been asking if I owned the bottles or they were Primo water as different grocery store clarifies this with me. The way she asked me was she had a really bad tone, loud as if she was yelling at me. I asked why she had that tone with me as I didnt appreciate it. She said she just wanted to clarify and walked away. I really didnt appreciate how she treated me and Safeways own associate as it should be a work place to help each other in a positive way. I feel like **** would be a better leader than her in my opinion as he treated me how anyone would love to be treated.

      Date 8/15/23, paid $40 on top of the monthly fee for the paid delivery service subscription. Driver came to the door, and when I did not answer, they just left with my order. I stated no contact in the special instructions. They did not **** the order as delivered, nor did they deliver later, and just kept it in a pending status. So I contacted customer service. This is the most atrocious service I have ever received. Flat out just ignored me until the chat ended. So I tried again to enter chat. Did the same exact thing. Did not provide a refund, and the order was still not delivered. Literally stole our money. See the screenshots for more information. Absolutely terrible experience.

      My order was delivered two hours late, after I was already asleep, and although this was one kind of solution, I sincerely hope that Safeway not only strives - but succeeds in improving the quality of their services, particularly in the area of their customer service. I want to make it clear that some of us rely on services such as grocery delivery, as in my case, I am disabled and cannot leave the house to physically do the shopping. The outright disrespect and dismissal of the customer service agent has left a bad taste and if I had other options available, I would never use safeway for delivery again. I have experienced too many issues surrounding this particular store and the online service provided, and I beg that safeway's leadership teams address these issues and that they are taken seriously.

      I placed order #******** Sunday 07/23/2023. I even paid to get this express delivery, as I was in a rush. One hour later-nothing arrived and it still never showed "on the way." I reached out via chat and there was nothing they could do to assist but ask the driver or store to reach out to me, at some point-but they could not verify when, if ever, anyone would reach out. Of course, no one did. At this point I did not want to leave to go to another grocery store, in fear of this order being delivered and having double product. Another hour goes by and I contact the store. They believe the driver took my order and never delivered it. He assured me the manager would credit my account for the amount the following day. Three weeks later-I still have not received my credit. I understand this takes a couple days but come on. It shouldn't if this was credited in the day, for the day, as it should have been. Then I have spent hours trying to reconcile this, with chat, the store, customer service, etc. I have cancelled my fresh pass and I would like a refund for my past fresh pass payment, as it was only used for that order and I am not paying for something I cannot rely on.I reached out via email-they have said they processed a credit, 19 days later and I have still not received anything. I cannot get anyone to answer me.

      "Additionally, we see that your FreshPass subscription was successfully cancelled as of 08/02/2023, and no additional charge for the subscription has been made."

      WHY would an additional charge be made? I want to be refunded for the month of July, in which you were not only NOT able to deliver what I paid for, but took approximately a month to refund me.

      On 08/05/2023, I use my Safeway app that gave me a $10.00 discount toward a min. $50.00 purchase.I checked myself out at the self-check out station and noticed that I did not receive the $10.00 discount even though the amount was in excess of $50.00. I called over the attendant of this line and showed her the issue. She looked at my purchases and said that the yogurt and Almond Milk were exclude because they were Dairy, in which they were noted in the fine print of this offer. The offer actually stated "liquid Dairy"! Even though I said that Almond Milk is not Dairy, which is stated on the product, she said there was nothing she could do. This is when I asked to see the Manager. He arrived and said the same thing, stating it was in the *********** so it is considered Dairy. I responded that is was a misleading adding, this being a case for fraudulent advertising. He did give my the discount but would not ever consider right from wrong! After going home I called the phone number on the bottom of my receipt, which was suggested to me by another employee in the store, and made a complaint. ref #******** was taken and a few days later the Store Manager did call as he was instructed by Safeway Corp to say how sorry he was for this issue. On questioning him, he did say the the company was right and Almond Milk is a Dairy product just because it in the *********** and nothing would change!What is so wrong about this is most people blindly follow this, never check their receipt or are to afraid to speak up. This Company is tricking people to come into their store and blindly follow their will for profit.Thank you for listening,*************************

      Hello ***

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.  We have investigated Ms. ******** complaint and have determined that, going forward, plant-based products like the almond milk that ****************** purchased can be excluded from the dairy category for purposes of our promotion exclusions.  We are taking measures to update the categorization of these products in our systems.  If we choose in the future to exclude these types of products from our offers, we will list them separately in the offer terms.  We understand that the store manager did apply the discount to Ms. ******** order and that she also received a follow-up phone call to further understand her concern.  We will also be reaching out to ****************** to offer a gift card to thank her for raising this issue.  Safeway is committed to ensuring our customers receive excellent customer service and trusts that these actions fully address Ms. ******** concerns.  Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional information.

      This Safeway location has at most 5 carts for customer use, the rest having been stolen. There are no more hand held baskets available. I can barely get shopping for myself having no basket for the items I would like to purchase. Theft of items is in plain view, as there is little to no security to monitor it and other safety measures. The store is constantly out of items. It appears as if either remodeling was started but stalled and is now being left half finished. I would like to see the baskets restocked and security enforced.

      I purchased a $200 GrubHub gift card for my mother last December. It was impossible for her to redeem it, and when I contacted ******* customer support I was told it was a valid number but had no dollar value. I contacted Safeway and they said they would have to have the card number and a photo of the receipt. Since I had been told the card had no value, this didnt seem like an unreasonable request if it would get me a refund. They took an inordinately long time to get back to me, then said they didnt provide support for gift cards and I needed to contact GrubHub. While waiting for a response from them, I discovered that the $200 value had been assigned to the card and someone identified as ***** N had redeemed it while I was waiting for s reply. I asked if they could freeze it and refund the remaining value to me. After a very long wait they said problems after purchase werent their responsibility. I sent several follow-*** to Safeway on the support case and never got a reply. I consider Safeway to be responsible for this for the following reasons:1) The extremely long delay in assigning the $200 value to the card convinced me that a mistake had been made and the money charged to my credit card had never been assigned to the gift card.2) Because of this, I was forced to share the details of the purchase via email, which I wouldnt have done if I had thought the card was worth anything due to the risk that a hacker could have intercepted it.3) However, Im not convinced it wasnt an inside job. Why would a hacker try to redeem a worthless gift card unless he or she had a way of knowing it was no longer worthless? Either way, whether it was a hacker or an inside job, ** considering also opening a criminal investigation into the theft. If it was stolen by an unknown hacker, I still hold Safeway responsible for poor service on the original purchase and for requiring me to share the data, making it vulnerable.

      I placed an online order to be delivered to my house on 7/13. The order number is ********. I knew things were missing, but without going through the bags it was hard to know everything that was missing. Once I saw that 90 percent of the stuff was missing from my order I called the same day. I was told that I would get a refund in 5-7 days for $66.08. I never got a refund called again two weeks later, and was told that same thing. one week later still no refund. I kept calling the service number at least 7 times and was told to wait 24 hours that it would come. I called today 8/9 and was told that needed to transfer me to the store it came from. I talked to the store and was told it would never come because I should have known the things that were missing before the person left who sent it. I have no idea how I am supposed to know each thing that is missing before the person leaves my house who sent it, since they don't stand there and watch you go through the bags. I am out 66 dollars after being lied to for almost a month saying that my money would come, and now I am being told that it never will, and that the people who have told me that it will have no right to do so. This is theft, and poor service overall. They are gas lighting the consumer and stealing their money.

      Greetings, 

      The following information has been provided to us by our Ecommerce ********************* team regarding customer *****************************: 

      Out of the past 8 orders they have received refunds on 4. 

      They then placed an order on 7/21/23 using the same name and email address but different club card and phone number. They then called in on 7/21/23 requesting refund for $55.16, claiming missing items. 

      As for order 7/13/23 in which they want a refund of $66.08 for 22 of the 28 items received. Driver ***** clearly remembers delivery to this customer, as he described the house. 

      On 8/9/23, when the customer called the store again, manager ****** discussed the fact the driver remembered delivering groceries as she came out of the house. The customer agreed she had met the driver outside but claimed to not look in the few bags she received. 

      Again, she is looking for a refund of 22 out of the 28 items charged for. When ****** asked her how she hadnt noticed she was supposedly missing or her groceries, the customer began yelling and cursing at ****** and hung up.

      Please let us know if any additional information is needed.

      On April 9, 2023, I purchased (2) $50.00 gift cards from this Safeway store. They were a birthday gift for my wife. She attempted to utilize both cards, one worked fine and the second card- $50.00 Lululemon, was damaged- when she pulled off the seal on the back of the card, it tore off the paper-including the card number and code. The card could not be used. I went into the store on April 26, ********************************************************************************************************************************************************** with a ***** service number to file my claim. I filed my claim on 4/26 with **** at the customer service center- ************** and received a claim #******. Per their request, I uploaded pictures of the front and back of the damaged card. I was told I would hear back soon; on May 3, 2023, I sent a follow up email to obtain a status, I was directed to a ***** #. I followed up again on June 24, 2023 via email and was again instructed to call the support center directly. I did call the Gift card customer support center at **************, option gift card **** and was told that it was still under review and I should here back soon. I called again in July, 30 days later and spoke with a representative and this time was told, it could take months; at this point, I stated I would reach out to BBB. His comments were, fine- have a nice day. This is going on 4 months, Safeway sold us a damaged card and will not take the time to make this right; your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you
