Well, this has been a bit of a bust. The new scene program has no base offer, and their big "intro" offer of 1000 scene for $100 spend is worth $10, which was pretty much the same as the standard weekly air miles offer. All-in the value proposition is definitely worse than previously.
But worst of all imo, you can't scan the bar code at the self checkout. The choices are either type in the 16 digit number on the screen or wait for the attendant to scan it for you, both of which are way slower than scanning it yourself. The biggest reason to shop at Safeway imo is the speed- anything that slows it down is a big downgrade.
