Safeway Pharmacy

Kind of an odd experience. I have advanced metastatic cancer and received my first shingles vaccine from safeway. I was just denied by the pharmacist working today (28 December 2025) because I was under 50. She said she was sorry but still denied my care. My body is riddled with cancer and I have two toddlers at home so there isnt much time to get these shots when I need them. I dont really understand why my care was denied.

The pharmacy is located inside the grocery store. It is very convenient to pick up your prescriptions while you shop for groceries. The pharmacists are knowledgeable and friendly.

I came here to pick up medication and told pharm tech that i was using Goodrx. I waited about hour, then to the price in their did not match my Goodrx card even after I told the rep I put the card info. I don't know whether I am being discriminated bc they lied about input my card numbers in and did not. I never have issues like this at Walmart or other pharmacies when I give them my Goodrx card. The price would always match what I have on my phone, not at Safeway! Total waste of time coming, I got here before 11am, it now afternoon, was expecting to get my medication but could not due to price discrepancies in their system. I am transferring over to another where they would honor the price listed on the app on my phone.

Ruby needs to go. This pharmacy tech has a bad attitude, is rude to customers, and is slower than a snail at everything. My final experience here, I needed a med quickly for my sick son & called to make sure it was in stock. She refused to even look because the prescription was "in the system" and she would have to get it out. She was too busy & I'd need to wait almost 2 hours for her to even see what the med was. What??? She also hung up on me twice during my attempt to get this med. I was told during the second round that there were too many people ahead of me for her to help me. Finally got the pharmacist on the phone who in just a couple minutes looked up the prescription, saw she didn't have it & printed a transfer for me to take elsewhere. Also, there were only 2 people wait

The Safeway pharmacists always take the extra time to learn customers' names and address any concerns. Additionally, the area in which patients may receive vaccinations is private, clean, and comfortable. My children and I get our flu shots at the pharmacy because we can barely feel a thing when our favorite pharmacist administers it. He's the best!
