Has anyone figured out how to get through this store without habing to stand in line for 20 minutes? Does the coffee stand or the deli counter ring people out?

Timing. Ask the store when the slow times are.

interesting! Am not sure about the store, but other Safeway Starbucks do ring up some food. Not produce. And you cannot us a Starbucks gift card on non Starbucks stuff. Hope this helps.

Good question, I think if You had a few items they would, but they would certainly ask you to go to the checkout stands if you brought a cartful of groceries over.
