Safeway Signature select extreme moose tracks ice cream,

I bought a container of your Extreme Moose Tracks Ice Cream (Choc ice cream with Fudge Cups and Fudge Swirl). You will find three pictues associated with the matter, one is the product face, one is the lot number info and one is the actual problem.

The problem is that when I opened the container, the ice cream started almost 1/2 in deep into the container. I place another brand new container next to the problem and you can see what is normally expected and what I received for the moose tracks.

The container problem is exacerbated with gaps. You will notice a gap towards the front, well that gap follows quite a bit of the way down the container.

This product was bought at Tom Thumb, 3001 Hardin Blvd, McKinney Tx on Saturday August 6, 2023 around 11:00am.

Desired outcome: I coupon or refund for a new container of your ice cream

Last night, I visited the Safeway on Olympic Dr. in Clearlake, Ca around 7pm. After shopping for 45 min., I stood in line to PAY for my groceries. During my wait, the manager, as well as several employees were LOUDLY describing me, and 2 other people in the store that they suspected of shoplifting. When it was my turn to pay, an employee rudly walked up and...

I submitted an online Pick Uo & Go grocery order on June 9, 2023. I did not pick the order up but my debit card was still charged for the full amount of the order.

I used to shop at the Albertsons store near me for many years and for almost everything I need. Once it became a Safeway, I stopped shopping there due to the overpriced items you now charge. It is outrageous compared to other stores and well worth the drive to go a little further to get what I need at a much cheaper price. I totally understand in this day...

Safeway Spam Mail

I have tried to turn off the spam mail but unable to. Also every where I go in the store I set off bells and alarms. I have never shoplifted or stolen anything! This is harassment! You need to stop this! If it’s facial recognition camera’s, what are you reacting to in my data? I’d really like to know. Or should I take it up with one of your employees?

Desired outcome: Remove me from your data base! I’m a U.S. citizen without a record! Do your homework! Harassment!!!!

Safeway Customer service

I have been buying hop water at this safeway location for months. Tonight I went in and it prompted for me to show ID. this is a non alcoholic drink, no reason for the prompt, which is why they always override the system. I have been sober for 2 years and this was so humiliating to be denied a beverage that has less alcohol than kombucha.

Hop water is not regulated by the olcc therefore should not be prompting for ID. I feel discriminated against. A kid can walk in and buy kombucha which has a fraction of alcohol in it but a 45 year old was just humiliated by the sustomer service person and told I cannot buy a soda with out id.

Desired outcome: I would like the company to change their system to not prompt non alcoholic beverages. I'm not talking about non alcoholic beer, hop water is not a beer. Or they should be carding for kombucha which actually has alcohol in it.

Since a new pharmacist took over at the Swan Creek Ft Washington, MD locations I have had difficulty getting this prescription filled.

Safeway Online access link blocks my email address without reason

In mid-June, when I tried to access any online Safeway links to see weekly ads, check 4 U choices, etc., I get a pop up ERROR post that says my longtime email address has been blocked by Safeway service platform. The weekly ads always come through, but I cannot access through any of the usual ways. No info or reason has been available. Local Safeway associate could not explain why nor offer a way to easily resolve this.

Desired outcome: Please rectify this unexplained block and either restore my account or advise how to correct the problem. My original Safeway Club #[protected]

On Monday June 19 I went in to pick up a prescription that was sent in around 11:00. I went in at 1:20. Halie - at the pharmacy - told me they hadn't received it yet. As my son has just had oral surgery and the only reason I drove over was for the script I went to the car and called his doctor who then sent me a copy that was dated and stamped and I wa...

Safeway Overcharged on pickup order

I have contacted chat support and email support as well as phone support on this overcharge issue from 5/26. Each contact I have to explain my situation over and over again (regardless of case ID's having been provided which should have documented the itemized overcharges) I keep getting told "rest assured this issue will be resolved" but to no avail here we are 3 weeks out and no closer to resolution than when first initiated concern. I have been awaiting a credit due to items on a pickup order that came out being charged twice as much as anticipated due to finalized order the sale items (both weekly ad or loaded digital coupons) not redeeming. I am unable to send screenshots of the offers as these were items offered on the weekly ad which are no longer available to screenshot. The anticipate4d credit is about $62.00 due to this being the amount owed, I keep getting told they have to submit, and resubmit to a supervisor due to the amount being over $50.00 so I have to keep waiting and keep re-initiating the original concern.

Desired outcome: credit of atleast the overcharge amount

Safeway Out of stock items

Yesterday on 6/12 2024 I got a delivery for my groceries paying a $3.95 delivery fee. I yesterday evening outside sitting on my walker was talking to 4 neighbors as well as my mom on the phone and every item they went to try and get at the Safeway up the street was OUT of STOCK including the bagel chips I wanted and the one sweet tomatoes. My mom could not order anything on the computer and was told by the computer almost EVERYTHING was out of stock. I want and need these items and it I did not want them I would not of ordered them online. I am disabled with bad knees and think you guys did not try hard enough to get them. You have NEVER been out of stock on the tomatoes or the bagel chips. i have heard nothing on news about shortages in food as of yet. Are there now food shortages? Please if they were out of stock they should not of let me add them to my order! Help!

Desired outcome: To get the one sweet tomatoes as well as the two packages of bagel Chips ASAP without having to pay another $3.95 delivery fee.

I called and they said I’d somehow gotten 2 accts. However, they could combine them into one acct. Great! I said yes and they did indeed combine them.

My husband was at Safeway on Colton Place in Oregon City Oregon . He has a floral account that was paid for in advance and the lady helping him needed an override. She called Evan over for the override and he refused to do it and there was also another man he refused to override all because he wanted to go on his break. My husband was told he has done this several times before. This is inexcusable and needs to be addressed.
