Safeway never got back to me
I went through self check out. I forgot to put in my discount phone number. I was buying Viva wiping towel that were on sale. I told the checker lady. She had me sign a receipt because she checked me out again with my discount number. Long story short I ended up paying twice $33.38. When I had checked my bank and realized what had happened I went to the complaint window and complained, they wanted the receipt which I did not have, they wanted the time and the machine. They did not care and never got back with me although they had promised. I then began shopping at Lucky, but thought the checker packers were rude, so I started back at Safeway thinking at least they were nice, but today in the self checkout line the light went on because of confusion with the lettuce. When the check out lady came to check instead of helping right away she began checking through my bags like I was a thief as the security guard watched. This was highly insulting. I asked her what was the doing. She said it was her job to do it. She had an attitude. This is the type of thing that turns people around.

Pharmacy Customer Service
I have now experienced customer service problems at the Montrose Colorado Safeway Pharmacy on multiple occasions and it will be the last time I ever step foot in a Safeway or Albertsons store ever again.

Customer service (lack of)
Today…after 5 years of shopping Safeway, I experienced the rudest, angriest, and unsettled employee that I have ever had the displeasure of crossing paths with. To the point Safeway corporate should be concerned that she is representing Safeway in a store, in any capacity. She is either someone that has been angry all her life, or, just got freed from the...

Read full review of SafewayAccount disabled!
My husband and I are mobility-challenged seniors. We were so happy when Safeway in Edmonton started Voila, a delivery service of groceries. I got online and tried to set up delivery with a password, and I was shocked to get this message: ACCOUNT DISABLED. What? We never disabled our account — we never had one except air miles, the former Safeway points link. We have an excellent credit rating. I contacted customer service — they said they wold investigate and get back to me. That was several months ago. I heard nothing! So I thought, maybe the matter has been resolved. I tried again today — setting up a Voila account. ACCOUNT DISABLED! It is like that Seinfeld episode with the Soup Nazi. NO SOUP FOR YOU!
Claimed loss: no account
Desired outcome: We would like a Voila account so we can get our grocerie delivered.
Respect to loyal daily customers
Today 11/14/23 I was going to Safeway as I do every night to get Starbucks when I went to pull into a parking spot in between a black SUV and the curb when two employees came walking through the parking spot wearing black hoodies in the dark as I’m pulling into the spot I had to swerve to miss hitting them my car hit the curb and as I’m getting out of my car, the mail employee Aiden, who is now the dairy manager at Wilsonville told me to watch where I’m [censored]ing driving and he was with his girlfriend Jace, who is a barista at Starbucks .
Desired outcome: Reprimand and teach them about safety while walking through dark parking lots and respect for customers

Myrtle Creek, OR 97470
Good morning,
On September 17th, 2023 I bought a Vanilla gift card for my grand daughter at the Albertson store in Roseburg, OR for $50.00. When she went to use it she got a message that said something went wrong. She tried to put a code but it still did not work. I went to the store to see if they would make it work or get a refund. They said they do not give refunds on cards and they gave me a [protected] number to call. I called and spoke with Wanda and she said she could not help me either and gave me this email address to start my complain. I would like to have a refund of my money. I ended up giving my teenage grand daughter another $50.00 so now I'm out $100.00. Please get back to me with a solution on how to get my money back. I have attached a copy of the receipt that shows my purchase for the card and fees.

Claimed loss: $54.95
Desired outcome: Please refund in form of a check so I can deposit or refund to my credit card.
