  I so wish that a new grocery store would open up in Arlington. Every time I go to the Safeway on Olympic, I deal with something new. If it’s not items that are going to expire the next day or already expired. And most of the time the items aren’t rotated so that the oldest date is in front. There are always people parked in the parking lot living in their cars, there is one vehicle that has been parked there for months now. This is something as a woman worries me, how do I know that I won’t be bothered or jumped by the person living in their car. When I went shopping last week and went through self check out I was told that I have to have my basket parked right in front of the scanner so that the camera could see me, this made it a bit more difficult to scan my items. Now today I go in, go through self checkout with about 12-14 items and the lady came rushing over to tell me that I have to now scan every single item, I can’t scan the same type of chips twice I have to scan them individually and then they can not go back in my basket right away. Everything now has to go into the bagging area. The lady last week and then again today made me feel like a criminal. I absolutely hate Safeway. But when I only need a few items on my way home from work , it’s the only convenient place to shop. Our Mayer needs to do something, bring in a new grocery store, maybe a Trader Joe’s, Winco or a Haggen again.

  I cannot sing their praises enough! Cameron, John, Preston, Anna, Ariel… all AMAZING staff. I don’t normally pick up my own medication, and with other pharmacies that can be confusing but not with them. They’re excellent communicators and I feel like they genuinely care about their customers. Top notch all around!

  The staff in this pharmacy are always very nice. We've only been going here a few months, but every time we come in, whether for a prescription pick up or for a vaccination, staff are pleasant, helpful, and cooperative. Thank you!

  Not pleased with my vaccine experience. I got my first Covid vaccine from Safeway and had Anna Give me the vaccine. She was very kind, helpful and thorough. She told me to come back in 14 days for my 2nd dose and said to just walk in on that day to get my shot. She literally told me “if they tell you they are booked up, you tell them Anna said you can get your second dose that day and they will get you worked in”. So, today was my 14th day, I walked in and they told me that they have no availability. I explained I was told I should be able to walk in for my 2nd dose, no problem. They said no again. I told them what Anna said to me and reiterated that she said even if they state they are full they can still get me in for my 2nd dose. They came back and told me that she must have not realized my 14th day landed on a holiday and they will not be able to accommodate. They said they could call me tomorrow if they have any openings but I needed it today because I timed it with my work schedule in case I have any side effects. Plus, I was told I could walk in with no problems. They then told me I can call around and see if I can get it somewhere else. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with multiple pharmacies saying they are booked. Luckily I was able to get in at bartells, and they will get a raving review for their service. Safeway totally lied about when I can come in and created a huge mess for my second dose. Not pleased that the staff are on totally different pages, it’s not like we are trying to protect ourselves from a virus right? It must not be a priority for them to communicate properly to their patients. I wasted my whole morning calling and driving around to find my booster. I wouldn’t recommend starting your vaccine series with them unless you are prepared to possibly have to last minute find somewhere else to get your 2nd dose.
