  We use Safeway pharmacy for all our pharmacy needs (which I will admit are not huge needs). I absolutely love the staff there. While I can't name everyone in the pharmacy, Marika (Pharm. D.) and Sue (pharm tech) waited on me today. I walked in for the TDaP and Pneumococcal vaccines, and Marika is as skilled with a needle as any phlebotomist I've ever been to. Found out a year or so ago that pharmacists receive EXTENSIVE training on injections and I can state categorically, as a person with a near pathological fear of needles, that every experience I've had with Safeway pharmacy has been better than any experience I've ever had with a doctor wielding a needle. As far as filling Rxes, I get text alerts when Rxes are ready, I get Rxes filled very quickly (between my visit to my PCP in Folsom and the 15 minutes it takes me to get out of Dr and drive home), they work closely with my Doctors to make sure I get refills promptly when I need more authorizations, they inform me of generic alternatives if the Dr doesn't write a generic name, they are not just polite but are even fun to work with and we joke around if I initiate it, they have great, convenient hours, and they have even transferred prescriptions to other stores at the drop of a hat, after ensuring said other Safeway has a supply of what we need. Let me also say this: I have been going to Safeway Pharmacy for well on 8 years after leaving Kaiser 10 years ago. I chose Walgreen's first and I can tell you that I've had numerous conversations with the Walgreen's pharmacy manager, store manage (8230 SARATOGA WAY) and even their corporate offices about their (lack of) service (and staffing), which uniformly stunk like an open sewer. (I'm trying to avoid profanity here. :-) ) I suspect but cannot prove the negative reviews on Google were left by malcontents whose business Safeway would be better off without.

  Always overcharges. Most difficult store to shop at.

  I live nearby and keep telling myself to "tough it out because they're the most convenient pharmacy". In actuality, they're the most inconvenient pharmacy I've ever had. They've told me they'd note my account for a year and a half and keep filling my monthly prescription (which has not changed) incorrectly. So, each time I need a refill, it's one-two-three phone calls or in-person visits to get things corrected. I'm out!

  I would avoid this pharmacy, their main pharmacist, Wendy, is honestly one of the most terrible people on the planet, rude incompetent, entitled, and I'm pretty sure she steals people's prescriptions, she has been popping my Ritalin for the last year, so I'm switching to a different pharmacy.. it's a shame too because Jill is a great pharmacist, and she was the only reason I stayed with them as long as I did..
