I hate giving one star reviews to any establishment but this one is earned. I usually come to this store for very quick shopping grab what I need and straight to self check but they rarely have many options for a lot of items are gone or maybe they have a lot of traffick... but nonetheless the attitudes from the Safeway employees are unnecessary and the very board for me. The store has gates and all entries and exits blocked off, it literally feels like a jail. They have armed security standing at the door who are unprofessional and loss prevention in plain clothes who are cussing out loud and being unprofessional. This place lacks male leadership and makes me feel unsafe. The area is actually not a bad area, contrary to people online over exaggerating because of the homeless in the area. Only come here for quick shopping in and out to avoid nasty staff workers and other people who have bad attitudes

It's like a cheap grocery store with the prices of an expensive grocery store

The inventory is fine, it's the overzealous security guards that are the problem! I have witnessed them on more than one occasion harassing innocent shoppers who were wrongfully being accused of shoplifting based solely on their appearance. They actually broke a girl's collar bone a few years back and were never heels accountable, most likely because she was scared to death! And the worst part? She wasn't even stealing! She hadn't even made it in the store! He attacked her in the entrance and almost killed her! More recently, I witnessed another one physically pick up another young lady and actually THROW HER down on the black asphalt, then tower over her threatening to mace her! Get it together guys... nothing you sell is worth someone's safety...

Totally refused to let me in 15 mins before closingAll I needed was a quick frozen food product . Which I explained.Horrible business practice - especially when there are not many late night options for us who travel for work and stay at hotels and get off late.Needs to change their hours !!’ - had me drive over for nothing - waste of time

I was looking to buy frozen pizzas for a group of friends. I arrived at this store at 11:40 PM and the security was already stopping people from entering. I tried to reason that I was only buying frozen pizzas and it would take less than 5 minutes. The security guard showed no customer service or compassion. If you close at 11:40 PM then don't advertise as closing at midnight!!

Begging this Safeway to open all the self checkout, but def seems like management not allocating enough hours to watch them, so to stop “theft”(the real theft is prices of Safeway lmfao) so they shut them down like smooth brains

Oh yes. Pak N Save Foods located in the ghetto fabulous area on San Pablo and 40th. A place where you do your best to take care of business without too much interaction with the outside world. I usually work quickly as possible, here are the steps I take. 1) find a parking spot 2) pray to the Lordt that myself and my vehicle remain unscathed in my perilous journey to Pak N Save. 3) Run in the store like I'm Marshawn Lynch breaking through the Defensive line of the opposing team. 4) Grab what I need. no need to lollygag. 5) Self check out because I don't need no attitude from people in line or the checker. Save the drama for ya mama. 6) Hop back in the whip, lock the doors, roll out. These are the keys to a successful shopping experience at Pak N Save.

There is usually a guy out front asking for change. No biggie, that's everywhere. Could be 5/5 if the checkout lanes were faster. I have to lock up and leave my bicycle outside and I do become nervous if I'm taking awhile to checkout. The day my bike gets stolen is the day I'll change my rating probably lol And you gotta get the app unfortunately if you want to pay other bills

One of the nicer Safeways. I miss the other manager. My daughter and I stopped there after a doctor appointment. This is the safeway I shopped at for 8 years. I am now a disabled senior. Still my favorite safeway

Overpriced even for California, dirty and crowded most afternoons, staff seem depressed and unfriendly but if I worked here I would be too

Tonight this store reached a new low in fill. There was pure dog manure, or perhaps human manure, on the floor in the self checkout area. Instead of closing the entire self checkout and sterilizing the space, they put a cone over the manure. But they couldn't completely cover the smear marks on the floor, and they certainly could not cover the horrible smell. This, mind you, is less than 14 in away from a surface where people are placing fresh produce for weighing. This store should be closed. It is a health and safety hazard inside and out.

I stopped by this Pak N' Save / Safeway for the first time recently. While I was able to generally find everything I needed and the selection was fine to me, plus I was able to get a discounted cheesecake slice from the bakery section, I didn't like the presence of security guards, more security camera monitors than I've usually seen in Safeway, and gates to go through to leave the checkout area since it definitely gives a feeling that the store is treating you as a thief rather than a welcomed shopper. However, it is pretty close to the 72 AC Transit bus lines.
