- RLRichard LainhartSep 24, 20231.0Early afternoon on Sept. 22, I received the wrong vaccine shot (flu instead of the latest COVID) at Safeway Pharmacy in The Dalles. After my spouse and I filled out the lengthy paperwork and spent an hour in the waiting room (the Pharmacy was busy), we finally got our shots. But the assistant (Toni) who administered my shot glibly dismissed my request for her to enter the vaccine information on my COVID card, saying that “we don’t bother with doing that anymore”. (Had she done so, the error presumably would have been caught right then and there.) It was only hours later that I discovered a voicemail from the pharmacist (Greg Warner) asking me to call back. He said that they had discovered their vaccine mistake minutes after we left, and profusely apologized for it. Several internet websites indicate that occurrences of administering the wrong vaccine are “rare”. Regardless, whichever facility you may choose for receiving your shots, you may well want to triple-check what vaccines(s) you are to about to receive. Obviously, staff should already be doing this, themselves, but ---!
- EBErin BeuttenmullerSep 12, 20231.0This is the worst pharmacy I’ve ever dealt with. I’ve been trying to get meds filled here for 2 weeks transferred from another Safeway. Today they have a paper sign hanging that says they are opening “around 3pm”. I’ve come twice today, and now there is a huge line. They never answer the phone when you call. What a nightmare. I am definitely switching to another pharmacy.
- KSKaren ScherfSep 10, 20222.0The pharmacist Is unstable. She, Genie Wood, has very erratic, negative outbursts towards other staff. This is nothing new as she displayed the same behavior when working at KMart. Also, the pharmacy tech, Toni, is very demeaning to those she should be training. She has displayed disdain in front of customers which doesn't help at all. She needs to go!
- CLCraig's ListFeb 18, 20211.02/18/21, 2:30pm. If you want to wait 30 mins in line, come to this pharmacy. Waited for 30 minutes to get to the counter. At least 12 people were in line behind me trying to get their prescriptions during a snow storm and trying to get back on the road before the snow became worse. Good luck. When I got to the counter, they still didn't have all the prescriptions ready that they had 48 hours to prepare. Waited another 10 minutes while they tried to figure out how to get the right medication while at the same time making a HIPPA viloation by speaking loudly across the pharmacy asking what so and so medication was for. Incompetent, disorganized, and SLOW. Walgreens is way better, faster, and has a drive-through. Don't waste your time at Safeway.
Frequently Asked Questions About Safeway Pharmacy

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.

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.
