“5 stars for Jaymar at the pharmacy counter. I've had less than acceptable service at this same pharmacy from a female who I won't name (8 days ago). She wasted my time, gas money to come back, and sent me on an unnecessary wild goose chase. Returned this evening, and Jaymar said he thought he could handle it right there, and...get this...he did. I recommend you call before you come and make sure Jaymar is on duty. He's professional, warm, and actually cares about people.”
“They have a good selection of liquor. Includes one thats very hard to find many places in CA that happens to be my favorite. I was SO excited to see them carry it. I realized it was probably their last bottle though from how dusty it was. The lady working (i assume manager/owner) said shed be willing to reorder it! (For me or otherwise im not sure but i dont care!) very sweet and considerate lady. They also do cashback unlike the other liquor store around the corner!! So thats very helpful! i could also tell she remembered me from when i got cashback last week which was super cool! Super convenient location and Decent average amount of available street parking in front too!”
“This is my preferred Safeway in alameda. The staff is friendly and nice. Store is clean. The shelves are neat and tidy. Whenever I come here, most of the items I'm looking for are usually in stock. I feel like it's not as crowded compared to the Safeway at south shore. The only thing I find annoying now is the extra security measures. I understand the need to combat retail thefts but I find the alarm when you try to exit without buying anything annoying. I was only planning on buying 5-6 items so I got a basket but when I saw they had soda on sale, I wanted to stock up so I needed to get a cart from outside. It just feels like once I'm inside this Safeway, I feel trapped unless I buy something. One really good deal I saw this week was on the 2 liter Signature Select soda (Safeway brand soda) on sale for $0.69. I don't think people knew about this deal unless they were in the store since it wasn't even listed in the ad. With inflation, this price is almost unheard of nowadays. For comparison, the 2 liter coca cola was on sale for $3. It's crazy to see how much soda cost now.”
