New plain-clothed security guards are working at this location. They are super weird and spend a ton of time profiling folks who aren't trying to steal. Not every homeless neighbor is trying to steal. Recently one of them kept trying to stand next to me in the checkout line like he was with me. He was pretending to buy a slice of cake. He was talking into his little earphone about how he "had a visual on the perp,". I've seen him twice. He was running through the store today, which seems insanely unsafe considering the amount of older less able-bodied folks who are in the store.There are more than one plain-clothed officer and they are both high-key and seem like dangerous people. Even the store employees look uncomfortable having these two men running around.I feel 100% less safe having them running around the store like they are in the FBI. I bet they have guns and that is a safety hazard to have unhinged men running around with guns pretending like they are in Call of Duty.They are soooo obvious about their activities I've overheard other customers asking cashiers about it. They are so obvious I'm sure they aren't even effective. It's pathetic, sad, and makes my shopping experience unsafe.With all the new security gates in the store this seems absurd and it's clearly making employees and shoppers uncomfortable.

Not friendly for claustrophobics. Recently a large fence/security system has been installed where you need to go through checkouts to leave. It makes me super uncomfortable and claustrophobic. I know this was probably put in place due to theft, but it is so incredibly unfriendly I’d rather drive further to a different Safeway.

safeway has always had very aggressive, invasive security detail. The ceiling looks like a swarm of insect eyes with all the cameras. and the self-checkout is arrogant and accusatory.But recently they installed new barriers and check-points within the store. Walking from the bustling middle-class neighborhood of woodstock through the awaiting gates of safeway-albertsons is like crossing a border. You're suddenly in a place where the legal authority of the surrounding institution is exerting on your every step, every movement the scrutiny and the threat of apprehension. I've heard a lot from former and current safeway employees that-at least at some safeway locations the employee attitude towards the apprehension of shoplifters strongly skews towards the enthusiastic. Watching customers with hungry vulture eyes as the swarms of cameras buzz around you.I think this location is a great microcosm!!!

UPDATE: All I really need to say is that they've now installed security fencing inside the store making it look and feel like a prison complete with guards...and EXPANDED the self checkout lanes. Everything is gated. Between this and their bottle drop ALWAYS being full I'm done. I suggest shopping elsewhere unless you want to feel like a felon inside the store.I have said it before and I will say it again, I hate shopping at Safeway I only do so because it's the closest store. I have gotten used to the layout of the store, but at times I still don't get it and walk around aimlessly trying to find the specific thing I am looking for. When it's time to check out I am always greeted by lines at least 3 people deep, at times getting to 10-15 people especially in the self-check lanes (which I also don't like). I see this problem routinely in most Safeway stores so I avoid them when I just need a few things and try to go somewhere else. They need to learn that the way to attract more customers is to have speedier checkouts! Try to go to Freddies or Trader Joe's instead if you're in a hurry and want better customer service.

The employees are friendly and helpful. The store constantly restocks their products.

Store is great. Things are easy to find. 4 stars because the cashiers talk too much and swip like sloths. Stand in line forever.

Just paid $196.70 for 3 bags of groceries (standard grocery items). The price gouging @ safeway has become beyond egregious. For 0%-10% more, do yourself a favor and go across the street to New Seasons, products, staff and atmosphere are far superior.

You better hope that this store has what you need in stock or else you are laughed at, insulted, and disrespected by Safeway staff when you find yourself empty handed and locked behind freshly installed "loss prevention" receipt gates. It's not my fault I didn't have the foresight to know this store would be out of the one thing I needed.This experience has soured my already wavering opinion of this store. I will not be back unless these drasticly dehumanizing changes are reverted.

PIC at night (skinny white dude with glasses) is the rudest associate I’ve ever encountered. Completely over the top and unnecessary.This store’s managers’ attitudes mixed with the new draconian security system they just put up shows the kind of attitude this store has towards its customers. Plenty of better options nearbyEdited to add: your PIC acting like a petty tyrant is a product of the culture you create with your policies, organizational structure, staff expectations, and exploitively low pay.Take down the fence.

Re:PharmacyThey do not answer the phone! Have been trying all day. No option to leave a message. Also, they close for lunch and there is always a line waiting. I called the store to tell them no one is answering and they said they would let them know but still no luck getting through. Argh. I am calling from out of state!!(Shout out to Carmen who is the best and has been for many years.)I’m sure she is not the self check clerk with the bad reviews.

Omgoodness I had the best experience with Eric. He worked laboriously for several hours in the pouring rain all by himself. His rates are more than reasonable & he is just an overall sweet man & has a kindness & humbleness about him. I will have him back for round 2 of our cleanup & I am recommending him to all of my friends.Thank you Eric. ⭐️
