Safeway Pharmacy

I've had my last several vaccinations here, and the pharmacist I usually get (Sandra?) is probably the best shot-giver I've ever had. I never feel it.

Switched to Safeway after RiteAid shut down and my god is it the worst pharmacy experience possible. They are slow, unorganised, and generally inept. If you call in a prescription or have your doctor write one in, they will not have it ready when you go (sometimes even if you get a text that it is). They only start with the prescription once you get there and have to wait around for 20-40 minutes. If possible go anywhere else.

Unreliable pharmacy. Unreasonably rude clerk. Submitted prescription online and was given a completion date of Sept 9. Still not completed on 12th so called - went to voicemail and left message - they didn't call back. I called late the next day - voice mail again. Went in the 14th, female older clerk formerly at RiteAid was ridiculously rude. My prescription was there...they didn't update their system...didn't notify me. Really just incompetent. I no longer trust them to provide medication without errors so switching pharmacies. Convenience doesn't override competence.

They dont like when you want to advocate for yourself. Took over Rite aids business has been a farce ever since. Save yourself the headache go elsewhere.

This pharmacy is super overwhelmed since the closing of the nearby Rite Aid. They essentially have a 3-alarm fire everyday trying to fill rx’s. It’s impossible to request a refill and then have it ready for pick up without physically going in to have them put it in the queue which means a 45+ minute wait. They don’t answer the phone, it’s just a complete hot mess. I don’t recommend going here.
