Safeway Liquor - Auburn

Worst customer service. I work late and usually shop here after 8:30pm. The employees here are rude and of no help.

Josh in the sandwich area...great service! I gave him a big order of 6 breakfast burritos and he took his time and didn't rush, and made them better than anybody else I've seen make them. Every time I go to other Safeways, they always rush and aren't very friendly. Josh showed great service and was very nice despite my large order and it being 4th of July. Thanks Josh!

I had a delivery today now I have a scammer calling me about stealing food

Bakery- They are amazing!!!! A huge thank you to Sue and Bobby who pulled off the most beautiful Rose themed 3 tiered cake and coordinated cupcakes for a bridal brunch that I had specified pretty difficult requests of ombré Roses on the sides and one large on the top and they did it beautifully and it tasted sooooo good !!! A few weeks before they nailed my husbands favorite tres leche cake and even suggested a darling fishing theme kit they decorated it with which my husband totally loved!!! They are awesome

When I am in Auburn, this is where I like to shop for groceries. The company has always done their best in customer service here and I appreciate everyone that worked during our pandemic just for us to keep shopping. On the outside, it has a huge parking lot shared with many other businesses, fast food, Ross, and much more. There is always someone with a sign in need of money as you enter leave the parking lot. That can be a little discouraging, but I know they need money, too.. it does get overwhelming that it 's every trip. Before you enter, Safeway has signs in front of their store that you need to mask up before entering. As you enter the air conditioner store, their fresh cut flowers are what catches my eyes. I always look to see if there is something I can 't live without. The plants are pretty, and sometimes, I think they charge too much. I feel like they throw a bow on something and charge an extra $20‐$30 over what the plants are actually worth. Some aren 't in the best condition, but still sold at an outrageous price. Just ahead, you can see the produce dept. They have big signs making sure you know what 's on sale. I like going for the fruits for my daily smoothie. When shopping produce, I 've noticed they do not always have the freshest ingredients. For instance, I have had to ask if they have fresh green beans bc what they had on display was very limp and unappealing. However, I love that they have lots to choose from. Their meat department is friendly. Compared to other Safeway 's, when they make their poki, they add chopped white onion where I have seen other store 's don 't take that extra step. It makes a huge difference and is necessary. Their usually stocked really well and sometimes have 30-50 off stickers on meat seafood the day before it expires. The display case holds most of the salmon from what I 've noticed. Yesterday, the bakery had a $5 Friday deal on a single layer Carrot cake. Theirs is so delicious! They have beautiful cakes in their display case being made sometimes, daily. If you have a request on a cake, pie, large order for donuts, or crossiants be sure to call at least the day before to order it. They can usually accommodate you. Their Deli has always looked impeccable. There is a hot case available for a quick lunch, the quickness depends how busy the store is, so don 't judge them if it 's a crazy holiday. They can slice your Deli meat fresh, your cheese can be fresh. They offer cold pasta potato salads. The sushi looks beautiful! For store sushi, theirs is great! I love their Wasabi. It 's hotter than restaurants. There will sometimes be a $5 Friday deal on sushi and that 's when I like to get a few. I have tried their poki bowls and they are delicious! I just wish there was more protein and yes, I would be willing to pay more. Maybe I can look into ordering ahead. I 'll let you know... The rest of the store is pretty organized. Safeway has their brand, 'Safeway select ', which I have noticed over the years is just as good or better than top brands. I enjoy shopping here and enjoy the deals I get here vs an over priced Bel Air. Although masks are required, not everyone complies. With all the craziness around, you never know how someone will react these days when approached to please put one on. As much as I know Safeway would like to everyone to comply, I can too many bad scenarios arising from asking someone to put one on. They do try their hardest with this. Again, I appreciate everyone here and they are doing a great job! See you soon
