Decent grocery store and nice beer and wine selection but I am disappointed time and time again with the unfriendliness of many of the staff members (with the exception of a few good ones)

The Olney Ssfeway has beer and wine. It is the only Montgomery County location with beer and wine that I know of. They also have covered parking for bad weather days.

Incredible grocery store! I'm not from this area, but when I'm in town, I always make it a point to stop at this Safeway. This store has the largest wine selection I've ever seen in a grocery store. The bakery department has some of the most amazing selections. The produce section is fully stocked with fresh veggies. Need a gift when visiting someone? Be sure to check out their amazing flora section.

Been coming here for 15 years. Generally a good place with good variety and decent prices. However it must be the only grocery store in Olney that got rid of small carts and hand carts around COVID time. If you are only coming to grab a few items, it's cumbersome to have to push the big cart around. And because they put these cardboard islands of goods in the middle of some rows, it makes for tough maneuvering when the aisle is jammed with everyone pushing big carts. Go to Giant and small carts are plentiful, and with good roller wheels that don't go "thunk thunk thunk". Over the past year I asked various staffers what has happened to hand and small carts and everyone just shrugged shoulders. I finally got a manager who confessed that the parent company no longer has any supply chain for new hand and small carts. ??????? is my response. Really? How does Giant do it? Part of me thinks the management is too cheap to invest in these necessities for easy shopping. Still, this Safeway is a real oddity in some ways. I've been tempted many times to jump ship and shop elsewhere.

Great sea food bad service. My family and I always get great service and great crab legs but today only crab legs. I asked an older women who was helping me about the price on the display versus price on the digital scale and could not here her. I asked her a second time and her response was not how I would have talked to a customer. Here I come Giant to give you my hard earned money for crab legs. Safeway I know your a huge company and my little bit of business is but a drop in the bucket but I would highly recommend a retraining on customer service. Can definitely tell I was a bother.

We have been shopping here almost every Sunday for the last 3 years. Yesterday when unloading our groceries into the car and getting our two year old into the car seat, we left our groceries in the mini car that was attached to our cart. We called on 5/8/23 at 6:30 pm and spoke to the female manager on duty, we think her name was Tricia, and she rudely told us there was nothing they could do about it. We understand that they cannot be held responsible for items left in the parking lot, but this woman was very rude. Our father was in the area and tried to pick up the grocers as well at the time and she was rude to him in person.Will no longer be shopping at this Safeway.

I usually don't shop Safeway, but my son and husband do. I find their regular prices outrageous compared to Giant and Wegmans. However, you can't beat their meat sales. 90 percent of the time, the beef steaks and roasts are flavorful and as tender as you'd expect the cut to be (i.e. New York Strip is denser than the ribeye so you can't expect the same degree of tenderness between the cuts). We've had some "chew and spit" steaks from all 3 local grocery stores, but it's least likely to get them here. (We'll return them now cooked but uneaten. No more splurging on steaks or roasts that are inedible. During covid it just happened too much. Grocery stores be warned...source good and trusted meat purveyors. )The other day, though, I went to this Safeway with trepidation of spending too much for things on my list. However, armed with the Safeway app on my phone, I had some digital deals that were crazy good. I got a rib roast on such a good sale that I thought it was too good to be true - at $5.99/lb the meat had to be awful, right? Wrong! It was fantastic.Other sale items on my list were less with the digital coupons. I may have spent $200, but I saved about $120! Plus, I got extra gas points since it was my birthday month.I have to be candid,..although I love the sales, I don't think the extra "digital" savings is fair since there are some shoppers who aren't good with apps on their phone -- or their computer -- to get the savings.So, I'm recommending 2 things to be prepared: Get the app for the digital rewards and have a shopping list. The app will also give you rewards -- freebies that make a person happy to shop. (I got free organic beef stock which I used to make the au jus for my rib roast.) Freebies make me a happy shopper.I have rewards waiting for me so I'll be heading back to the store. Just reel me in Safeway!

I always come to this Safeway and have never had an issue. Well today I encountered Yva… she asked had I used the coupon that I clipped JUST before checking out. I stated no and she tells me that it if it was used this week then I can’t use it. I inform her that I have not shopped that week and she continues to explain further rather than correcting the price of my items. Instead of dong her job as a CSR, she chose to go back and forth with me stating that she doesn’t have to deal with my attitude when I in fact already let her know that I hadn’t used the coupon prior to the day. When I asked for a manager she refused. I received my refund but with unnecessary actions/words to get to it.Oh there aren’t anymore free reusable bags, yes they will charge you for 20 cent for the bags in the transaction that day even though you have clipped the free bag coupon because they don’t have any to accommodate the incentive.

I purchased a lb of wild shrimp on May 8, 2023. I froze the shrimp as soon as I got home and had planned on making a shrimp/asparagus/pasta meal on Thursday. Thursday morning I took the shrimp our of the freezer and thawed it in the frig. When it came time for me to peel the shrimp, they were bad. they smelled so bad that I couldn't stand it. I wanted to drive up to Safeway to get my money back but my husband said no and to just not buy seafood there anymore. This isn't the first time we've had problems with their seafood. It's frozen, thawed, refrozen and thawed again. No more for me.

Great service. Cheese and deli selections are excellent. The best part is the pharmacy. It’s like a hometown pharmacy and the pharmacists are top notch.

The store is great overall but I’d like to give special mention to the floral department. For $10.99 I consistently get the best roses I’ve ever bought for my wife. Currently I have a dozen white roses that are still in perfect condition after a week. The secret is to cut the stems at a 45 degree angle or greater, but it takes a high quality rose to last that long. Thank you.

We're definitely going to become full-time Giant customers from here, on out. This is due, in part, to the Meat department's Keith (no surname available) and his racist behavior. At first, I thought he was just a condescending a$$hole, but after noticing, on multiple trips, how he greets Caucasians, with the utmost cordial dialogue, compared to his disrespect towards those of color, he makes our decision easy. I do not condone violence or confrontation of any sort, but Keith, you exhibit your racist attitude in the perfect environment. Safeway needs to either terminate this vile individual, or this will have to be introduced to the news media.
