- AOAstrid OttenSep 8, 20251.0Safeway pharmacy is in my neighborhood but today I decided not to use their services anymore. One particular lady, answered my call when I was inquiring about my medications for COVID. She told me my insurance was not covering my medication and it might be true because that insurance has been a headache for my coworkers and myself, but this woman was so rude, constantly cutting me off and telling me "OK,OK,OK I heard you, calm down", when I was just telling her my husband would go pick it up and pay for the script because I'm very sick with COVID. Never again. It's a putty because Safeway in general, as a store is very good, but the pharmacy is another story. I have to say, another Lady called me later to give me an update with my medication and she was very nice, she was helpful but they didn't have the medication I needed the most, in stock. I really feel for the nice people who work in there but the other staff members need training
- CCCameron (Chuy)May 18, 20211.0I came here for my COVID-19 vaccine and each time has been excruciatingly slow. This should absolutely NOT take more than an hour. Nothing is prepared or ready for you when you arrive. For my second shot when I was sat down to receive it, she had the wrong type although I tried to hand them my card and specifically marked which type of vaccine I should be receiving. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else!
- MAMatthew AronApr 11, 20172.0Usually a four star. However, this current experience has left me a bit upset. Apparently they are too busy to field my call. I was asked to hold twice told to hold three times, and just switched over to hold five times. I spent a total of 18 minutes holding. I ultimately gave up. Very unsatisfied.
