I had the strangest experience with an employee here. We went back and forth with the same question and answer for about five minutes, with pauses for the employee to think a little before asking the exact same question again. He understood what I was asking for and just kept confirming it over and over again. Finally she called another employee over and he understood immediately, gave me precise directions to the item with no problem. I think she might have been a UCD student in the middle of mid-terms or finals and her brain was just burnt out. I love that Safeway is carrying more and more organic items and it is definitely a helpful option for when the Co-Op and Trader Joe's have closed for the evening.

I've been shopping here lately and its pretty good. They have their signs up to wear masks and such, the employees seem to do good about that. However, not all shoppers do. I believe they should have more employees on shift so some can walk the store on rounds to make sure shoppers are using their masks at all times. I've walked in and spotted over half the customers blatantly disrespecting policy and taking their mask below the nose and even worse: some just pull it all the way off. They should kick those people out of the store so it stays safe for those of us listening to rules and regulations. It would put the rest of us at ease too, since we all have family we care for and don't want to catch COVID because of an anti-masker, or worse, a KAREN, in the store. Otherwise, I enjoy it here.

Chain stores don't get much love in this town but this is where I get most of my grocery in Davis. I typically come in the morning and appreciate the services from the regular crew. Thanks to Debbie for searching and finding my lost cell phone in the store. Spending a few minutes with the weekly circular can save big. There is usually a good deal on 2 pound bags of frozen prawns changing size of the prawns from week to week. The quality of their house brand, Signature Select, is consistently good. They do highlight local products when possible. This store is more than adequate for non this, non that everyday grocery.

The staff is extremely rude. The girl checking me out was so busy talking to some boy about how she was failing all of her high shook classes that she entered my DOB wrong, and I decided not to wait for her to do 2 separate receipts, and said never mind on the wine. She was extremely rude and made a huge scene about having the boy she was flirting with take the wine back. Then as I was checking the receipt, she got a huge attitude and asked me to please leave. Extremely rude, entitled children work here!

This Safeway has gone downhill and I'm disapointed with the employees. Loved the Safeway bread but my last purchase it was burned.

I usually come here for the 7$ meal combo that allows you to pick 1 entree and two sides... unfortunately one of their employees (a young Caucasian woman) thought this was sufficient amount of food for that price. See photo attached. It seems that every time I come to this location I receive less and less food than the time before. Really don't like writing bad reviews however I know that various students appreciate good meals at a decent price, so I would suggest going to the Safeway on the other side of davis. The employee also failed to offer to allow to pay for all of my other groceries at the food center... despite me holding about the maximum anyone with two arms could quite possibly hold.

Rented a carpet cleaner from here which did permanent damage to my carpet. They won't reimburse or pay for cleaning. Don't use them from here.

Love this Safeway store! The staff are like long-time friends. A big-time store with a feel of a small store. I usually go in the middle of the day so there has never been a problem with lines or waiting. Because the prices are so competitive, the wait can be long late in the afternoon.
Lines are always long and there are too few cashiers, but while few the cashiers are always nice. I mostly come here for the in-store Wells Fargo mini-bank and ATMs. They also have a Coinstar machine. Safeway stocks a few things that CVS does not carry: Ivory dish soap and Mr. Clean rubber gloves. Random, but these are things I've used for years. Aside from picking up a handful of specific items or hot deals, I do my grocery shopping elsewhere.

Pretty Standard Safeway! Taking away a star for the lack of hand baskets! I always feel like I don't need a big cart especially in the small Safeway aisles! But a couple heavy items are hard to juggle! Always super friendly staff and great pricing (:

Sorry for leaving 3 stars. Customer service: (cashier) is always rude towards me. Trying to talk to me but then realize I'm deaf, they will literally laugh at me. Laugh at a disabled person? I just can't hear.. just don't laugh. The place is clean and has almost everything but the people who works there is horrible. I'm sorry, horrible. I live in south Davis and I go to south Davis's Safeway and I love it there. I happen to work in north Davis area a lot and this Safeway is close by so I.. yea, dread coming here. Staff, please go google or take class on how to be culturally sensitive to all kind of people.

Don't know who the current manager is but the white middle aged blonde one with glasses contributed to a toxic work environment by singling out employees in front of customers and once asked me for my dad's name and location because she felt like interrogating me on which Safeway he worked at after I used our family employee rewards phone number at check out. She was very rude and condescending. I've had 2 other bad experiences with employees who were also rude here, luckily also both cashiers, so I could avoid their line next time.

Only reason I'm giving it a 5 star is because the young lady named daisy is the most sweetest young lady very helpful very considerate with my bags
