I rarely go to this Safeway but each time I venture in for something there's a robbery taking place and no one typically does anything. I've seen a guy take 2 -24packs of beer and walk out like nothing happened. Last night was a victory after a customer not employee body slammed a guy walking out with several extra large packs of steaks. When headquarters instructs employees to do nothing and customers take it into their own hands it's a pretty sad picture. I smell a lawsuit around the corner when a customer gets hurt trying to stop daily robberies in the store. Cheap ass Safeway needs a security guard that will put an end to this and also teach employees to call the police when these things occur or teach them Joe to review a camera and get a shot of all the thieves.

If I could give zero Stars I would. The main reason for the low rating is they don't have any people manning the checkout counters. I automatically give the lowest review to any place that forces you to use the self-service checkouts. Here is why:1. If you, now an untrained and unpaid employee of the company, accidentally do not scan an item, or don't notice when an item hasn't been scanned, you can and in many cases people have been arrested for shoplifting. Including jailed and having to spend a lot of money to try and get that arrest expunged from their record.2. Self checkout takes money out of the community. Self checkout stands don't pay local taxes, don't patronize local establishments, or generally spend money in the community. The money that is supposedly saved on labor cost returns to the company.3. Has noted above it forces the customer to become an untrained and unpaid employee of the company. In essence the customer provides the company free labor in return for reduced and lower quality service.

I bought Bread here a few months ago, it was moldy, I will never be back! I'm very disappointed. Also, the store is filthy when I walked in.

The last two times I bought sliced cheese from their deli that had already been prepacked and priced the bag was not sealed. The cheese is dried out and now I have to make a trip to return it. I bought it for lunch this week so this does me no good. The lunch meat was the same way, but it seems to be OK. I will not be buying anymore from their deli, at least anything that is prepackaged.

It's okay. One of my buddies lives close to here. This works for grabbing some brews and chips. Football season will be here soon enough. Also hockey is looked forward to as well. I'll be stopping in for goodies here and there. Nothing exciting about this store. It's not as modernized as many locations are. My biggest problem with Safeway, is a "minor beef," but it is a consideration. Even before this inflation, their prices tended to be quite high. Now I'm looking for a blood platelet donation spot for money. Actually to their credit, they sometimes have some good sales. Also they have enough employees here, and all met have been very friendly. This won't be my first place to go, but it is convenient for game day.

Typical dirty, old, expensive Safeway location. We went there to get some brat buns and found an older woman picking up literally everything in the bread aisle to check the dates before making her selection. I'm pretty sure she touched almost every item in the entire section multiple times. Luckily, I bought some buns at a separate little display and got out of there unscathed. Yikes, I'll avoid this place unless I'm in the area and really need something.

The hours state that they're open until midnight. He let the people in right before me. But then locked the door and wouldn't let me in. I showered this evening, so I don't think I offend. Maybe they got let in because their skin color was lighter than mine. But they literally walked up at the same time I did and walked through the door right before I got to the door. I tried to come last night and it was also closed earlier than it was supposed to be. Strange because this safe Way is always busy late at night. I think I'm done with Safeway unless it's an absolute necessity. Giant is about 1/4 a mile away and seems to always be open at the hours they suggest they are. It was good while it lasted.

A business is only as good as it’s employees and when you don’t pay a living wage it’s hard to get employees
I was in the hood & popped in here real quick to grab some Lay's Seasonal Chips. I will say that I am a loyal Giant customer first and then Harris Teeter second. While I do see a lot of negative reviews for this location & I align with a lot of them like prices, selection, staff, coldness of the store as a whole, I will pop in Safeway for the occasional grab. I love their Safeway select soups & fwiw consider myself picky with prepackaged foods. The bakery foods are also really good & go to the Starbucks occasionally too.

The most stupid store manager in the DMV area works @this location,for the second time ,I had a serious problem with one of the bakery staff again,I choose a cake and was looking for a baker to write happy birthday on my cake,there was this lady inside the bakery on her cell phone,I had to wait for almost 5mn before she recognized my presence,and she goes"YES",then I said is that the way you should interact with a customer,she got so angry because I told her that,and refused to write on my cake"happy birthday "she said we don't do that here,and starts swearing in Spanish,thinking I don't understand Spanish,that's when I asked to speak to a manager,and another lady came from inside the bakery and wrote what I wanted on my cake,and I politely asked her to speak to a manager,she whispered that the first lady who refused to write on my cake was the manger!!!That's when I went to customer service and asked to speak to the store manger,manager, paged him over 5 times ,and had to wait 15 mn but he refused to the customer service department!!!and again this is not the first time I'm having issues with the same bakery department at the same location,without being able to speak to the stupid store manager!!
