Black mold and a milky liquid filled one end of an organic grade a brown egg. This carton of organic eggs certified by "quality assurance international" was purchased 12/24/2008, expired 1/10/2009 and was opened on 1/1/2009.

I consider this grossly contaminated, unbroken, uncracked egg a major failure of safeway, lucerne foods, inc., and organic certifier processing, inspection, handling and food safety requirements.

This product from safeway marked with a jan 10 pf 347-p-1686a expiration mark was a major, potentially fatal, food safety failure. It is a serious failure of safeway/lucerne policies and procedures.

I requested that safeway contact me with a report on this failure and will repost when/if i receive a response.

On tuesday nov 11, 2008 my dauter & i were walking past the sandwich department when i heard a man yell the words ( F--K THAT ) i then looked in the direction of the man only 10feet away and said i have a child right here. he just shrugged as if not caring. i later asked this older women and she said his name was JOE or JOWEE. after 12 years of living & shopping in silverton my husbend & myself find this filthy word uncalled for and unprofetional in a normally plesent atmospher. in the futere we will be using the other door. or as my husbend said, maybe just use another store!

Safeway during week of 8/18/08 was selling out dated packaged bean sprouts..out dated by over a week.
Safeway during week of 8/25/08 was selling Beckmann's bread that was past selling date by 3 weeks! I counted 10 loaves of bread out dated. This is not new... and dairy products are left out in warm air while workers are slowly putting them in freezer... not a healthful practice.

This Safeway has an employee working at the service desk that is extremely rude. I filed a complaint with the store manager, (no response or callback).. I filed a complaint with their regional customer service which was suppose to be forwarded to both the store manager and the district manager (no response) This incident happed on August 9, 2008 @ 9:13am Saturday, it is now Wednesday everning August 13, 2008 and still no response. The incident: I waited with another customer for ten minutes at the service desk for assistance.. The employee was in an office adjacent to the service desk. Not once did she turn around look out of the window to see if there were any customers waiting.. so I knocked on the office window. The employee came storming out of the office shouting 'WHO DI D THAT?"!!! I replied, "I DID" "YOU HAVE TWO CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE BEEN WAITING HERE FOR TEN MINUTES." It when downhill from there. I asked her to call the manager due to her extreme rudeness, I could not believe that she believed she could speak to a customer the way she was speaking to me with the feeling of impunity. But apparently she was right, she has in my opinion gotten away with this behavior without a word from her manager or the district manager. All she had to do was to come out of the office, apologize for not being attentive (watching to see if customers were at the service desk) and then ask me how could she help me. I spoke to her manager at the store, his response was, "I'll call you", no apology that I remember, and certainly not an apology from the employee. I called their regional office for Colorado stores and was assured that both the store manager and the district manager would be sent the complaint that I submitted .. As said I haven't heard from either of them. This store has just recently gone through a physical upgrade, hoping to appeal more to the more upscale customers that have recently began to shop there due to all the new renovations and brand new high rise apartment buildings that are being built near the store. I personally have been shopping there for years, but will never set foot in it again. Now I really know what it feels like to be one person up against a large corporation that could care less about you.

I have avoided Safeway like the plague because of their mis-leading ads. Their standard answer is "oh, but that's not on sale at THIS store", when the ad is in the local newspaper. Slowly I drifted back to Safeway because my bank branch is located in the store. Today I looked over the ads, chose three items, and the clerk said, OH, not at THIS store. Also, for example,
there was an ad for Cantaloupes $1.00. The sign inside the store said $1.88. No explanation. No one cares. The clerk just shrugged his shoulders as in "the hell with you". Never again. I have many alternative places to give my money to. And I won't even buy gas there ever again,
I am one annoyed consumer and I don't need to me annoyed. This is the first time I've ever been annoyed enough to email anyone. And I expect that Safeway will just shrug it off. They deserve to go out of business.
