I loathe Safeway. Developed a dislike for them YEARS ago after shopping in one with an *armed* guard (not in a particularly bad part of town -- I'm pretty sure he was to prevent shoplifting) and watching said guard come over to conspicuously hover when someone's bank card failed to go through on the first try.
Reinforced that dislike when everyone came out with the stupid savings cards. Safeway alone offered NO alternative. (Albertsons will let you ask for the savings without the card, and Fred Meyer doesn't require it at all. Didn't have QFC down there -- they don't seen to allow it either.)
I resent having to give them my buying habits information in exchange for the loss-leaders that they hiked all the other prices to cover. It's my data, damn it. Give me a fair price across the board, or an opt out!
