Safeway

This particular Safeway is pretty old and in need of remodeling. Through the years, service has also become spotty. Update. I still shop here. Was told in early 2021 that it was going to be remodeled but all I have seen are some new cold or frozen food cases and moving around of product in the shelves. Disappointed in this. They added self checkout stations but also cut back in checkout staff. Update, 2022 Very little has changed. As a matter of fact, I feel that the store has spiraled further into neglect. The staff is great but it seems that there are fewer personnel. And usually there are few open checkout lanes. Quality of produce can be great one week and pretty bad the next week. Shelves are usually stocked though there are times when they are rather thin.

This Safeway could use a full renovation! Almost every time I've been in this store I find items expired. The meat is discolored and the bread and vegetables were actually molding on more then one occasion. I'm hoping corporate reads these reviews and one day they turn this store around.

Excellent! This particular shop has everything. Fully stocked with many options and hard to find brands. Because of it's larger size it can stock exotics or something I only found at the Potomac Safeway... ever. It doesn't have spinach or wheat De Cecco pasta but hey... whom is perfect out there? Even Italian specialty stores rarely have such in our areas. I was very impressed. Especially during our covid times... they are doing very well. Service personel were quite helpfull and it was late so I had the store to myself. Totaly worth driving out here from DC to make mass purchases if you can spare the time. Home Depot and Lowe's are rather near so you can knock out multiple house hold needs. I will return!

I love this place, and have been shopping here for upwards of ten years, however I don't think I'll be shopping here as often anymore. I had my first racial profiling experience here after almost eleven years. A short, elderly Caucasian woman with glasses who was working the self checkout lane, made sure to stand directly behind me, limited my ability to move out of her way. She stood in the middle of the aisle directly behind me, watching every move I made, and didn't break eye contact. She made me feel very uncomfortable because I felt like I knew exactly what she was doing... She didn't attend to anyone else and stayed there watching me the whole time I was harmlessly scanning my items like everyone else. When I skipped bagging some juice (which I scanned and selected "skip bagging" to place back in my cart) I ended my scanning and paid for my items. With authority, she asked if I even scanned the juice (which she saw me scan since she was standing theirs watching intently the whole time...) I kindly told her yes, and began walking out of the store. She made sure to help the young white man, of which her tone completely changed to a friendly and warm voice. She asked if he needed help, and I could tell he wasn't impressed by her from what he saw. He said no and ignored her. Meanwhile I'm trying to get out of the lane, which again, she was blocking and she knew I was there. I had to squeeze past her and she didn't want to move as she was still trying to talk to the young man... I'd have been profiled some times before, but this was the worst since she was pressuring and trying to establish authority by standing and watching THE ENTIRE TIME, while other people needed help. I'm a biracial black and while female who happened to be wearing all black.
