I applied online. I interviewed at Safeway (Los Gatos, CA) in Jun 2024
Interview
They are lying about competitive pay and available positions. The posting for the night crew is just there to get people to apply and then tell them “oops it’s taken, but we got other spots” while the listing never goes down. The competitive pay claim is all over the baker and other listings, as well as the actual application process, but transitioning from a different grocery store as a trained professional i was told they can still only give me 17/hr and never heard of no competitive pay claims ever. Just walked right out the interview then and there, turned out i wasn’t the only one that day., save yourselves some time

Question 1
Will you be willing to ignore your expertise for some pennies and a spit in a cup?
This particular Safeway is in South Lake Tahoe and the interview process was strange, at best. The manager took me into a partitioned room near the bathrooms where twenty or so disused desktop computers were sitting on desks unused, like a dystopian memory from 1998. She proceeded to read questions from a paper document, writing down my answers herself, as if she didn't even trust me to write things down. She then argued with me about having applied using Indeed. I had a confirmation email from Indeed, so I could have proven that I used it to apply for this job. But the manager was adamant that Safeway cancelled their contract with Indeed and they no longer listed jobs on that site. The interview only got worse from there. I was offered several jobs in different departments - all entry level. This would have been a survival job for me, as I'm way too experienced for such things. A day later, she emailed a rejection letter, and I was very relieved to see it.

Question 1
Would you work in a refrigerated room cutting fruit?
The interview process was easy. I was signed up through Indeed. The Safeway employer asked a few questions. We talked a bit. The job was not a right fit for me. They only guarantee you 20 hours a week.

Question 1
They asked if I was willing to come in at 1 in the morning.
It was an easy and quick interview. We talked about previous experience and why I would want to work there. I was interviewed by the store manager right when I applied.
