I shop in a full size Albertsons.
Checkers, store director, dept heads,
greet me by name, order stuff special
that they don't normally carry, offer me
discounts on stuff that I buy a lot of.
It must just be my charming personality.
Things are so bad at the local safeway that the manager comes over and "Push your cart, sir?"
Safeway is horrible. They won't leave you alone to shop. You have to constantly stop to reply to their "How are you today"s and if you ask where something is, they drag you across the store to show you instead of letting you get there on your own when you've finished with intervening aisles.

We saw a Safeway last weekend, in Ukiah! They'd all closed
here, in the mid 1970s. My daughter thought it was something new.
It was out closest choice; i generally avoid any store that requires
me to sign up for a special card, to get the sale prices.

Safeway here is about the highest priced store. I don't shop there. Raley's isn't the cheapest, but after 35+ years, its location, and the quality of the meat, produce, and deli, it's the hands-down winner for me.

The big 3 we have here are Fred Meyer, Safeway and Albertsons. Of them Safeway does seem to be hands down the most expensive. I have one of their stupid club cards, but I long ago tossed the card, just type in the phone # assigned to it to get the sale. Every week Safeway sends a mailer with the weeks ad. They often will have steak at a price that means it must be a loss leader. That is the only reason I normally go in, buy some of the steak, and if I see something else on the club card deal that looks good grab that, and leave.
I have noticed they have a lot of Retarded kids (I am sure this is not the "correct" term for them any more) working there though and I do like that they do that. The kids try hard, and always ask if I want help out, normally with my one bag, and I am glad the store hires them, gives them a chance to do something and earn some money. I have come VERY close to going off on a cashier there a couple times when they would make some very disparaging comments that I could easily hear, about the kids. VERY, VERY unprofessional for them to be doing that so that a customer can hear them. The kids are doing the best they can.
