Safeway Pharmacy

It is the same experience for me, I have to plan my day around picking up my prescriptions. Because my wife works for retail clerks, this the only pharmacy I can use. The big issue now is the time it takes to get the medication. My wife is leaving the er as we speak and they have prescribed 2 medication, and it will probably be 2-3 days before it's ready, if we are lucky. I was recently prescribed a medication and I waited 1 week, and no you can't anyone to answer the phones. I had to once again stand in line for 20 minutes just to ask about it, it was not ready. Came back a week later same routine, they said It was out of stock! Waited about another week, waited in line 20 minutes just to be told that won't be getting it in! I went to Costco and paid there discount without insurance, had

My usual pharmacy was out of what I needed before leaving on a trip. Their shipment was delayed and wouldn’t arrive on time so they called and checked to see if Safeway had it and could fill the order for me. They did, so they faxed over the relevant information and I went happily over to pick it up. After telling me it wouldn’t be ready for 45 minutes, I came back in, waited another 15 minutes in line, only to have them tell me I had no refills left. This was a miscommunication on their part. If they had checked with my pharmacy they would have known that. However, by the time I had waited an hour for them to tell me this, my pharmacy was closed and they could no longer call. Today I called my pharmacy again. My pharmacy called them again. Spoke with someone, explained I needed it today

I’ve always loved safeway pharmacy but not this one absolutely ridiculous. Making people wait after telling them the time to pick it up made me over an hr to get medicine for my child. I complained and she gave me attitude and told me to go to another pharmacy if I didn’t like it. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Seems like they need new employees who like their job. Sounds like I’ll be finding a new pharmacy for my family. Thank you Safeway for NOTHING but disrespect. Have the day you deserve.

when going here keep in mind some days are faster then others and get really busy. if you cant make it before they go to lunch then come after and if to many people then do some shopping to pass some time.the pharmacy staff is a small group but they work very hard to get you what you need.the staff are very friendly people which i enjoy .

If your time doesn't matter to you then this pharmacy is the place to go. 20 minute line waits, just to be told it will be ready in 30 mins. Then to return 30 mins later to wait in line for another 20 mins. To be told it will be ready the next day. Even when you use their app to schedule a pick up time prior. I almost had to cancel my colonoscopy because I was told three different times and days my prep wasn't ready. I lost my patience after 4 different pick up tries, I told them I can't wait any longer because I start my prep tomorrow. The pharmacist treated me rudely and slammed the prep on the counter and gave me no instructions. Told me I had to by over the counter gasx and elax, all the while it was prescribed by my Dr. Do better Safeway!
