Incompetent AND Uncaring
I am not usually one to write scathing reviews, but my experience at the Safeway Pharmacy at El Camino was so bad that I feel compelled.
TL/DR They were literally in the middle of ringing me up they shut for lunch and told me to come back a hour later.
I arrived at the pharmacy at 12:45. They close for lunch at 1pm. A few minutes after I had gotten in line, the cashier called out that I would be the last person they could serve before they closed for lunch. The other customers and I had to tell about 5 people who arrived after me that I was the last one they could serve. When it came to my turn, tI told the cashier I was picking up two mediations for my son. He got the first one, and was excruciatingly slow about the whole thing. I reminded him there was a second medication and he said, now we are closed, you need to come back in an hour.
I asked how was it possible for them to shut down mid-transaction!? He had said I was to be the last person served before they closed, so they need to complete my transaction. He said the pharmacist had clocked out and they couldn’t give me the second medication. I watched as the pharmacist walked by the cashier as I was pleading with him to complete my transaction.
I don’t live anywhere near the pharmacy and had my disabled son waiting in the car for his medication, so it would be quite difficult for me to make him wait for an hour in the car. I asked if they could transfer the prescription to another pharmacy close to my house and they said no.
I know that pharmacies are understaffed these days, but this is truly a terrible way to run a business. Telling a customer that “you’re the last one before lunch.” then shutting down mid-transaction and not even having the courtesy to send the prescription to a different pharmacy.

This place used to be great, but is falling apart. Staff is slow and don't have things ready when promised, they're frequently out of stock or their system is down. Will take my business elsewhere.

Who should get the shingles shot?

Why is reviewing my Medicare plan every year important?
Reviewing your Medicare plan every year is important because Medicare Advantage (Part C) and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D) can change annually. These changes may affect your coverage, out-of-pocket costs, and provider network. By reviewing your plan during the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period, you can ensure it still meets your healthcare needs and budget—and switch plans if necessary.
