- CKCody Kotrlik3 days ago1.0I am at my wits end with this place. I gave it my best shot and the benefit of the doubt, but between the poor communication of availability of medication when ready, or it being sent back prior to the allotted time is up, I can never consistently get my medication I have been taking my entire life. Also including the overly pedantic staff - needling their way to mounting frustrations, not only for myself, but observed of others each and every time I am there, this place is horrible. Also, those dumb cattle gates at the front of the store are just that: asinine. While that is not strictly speaking the pharmacy, it's all Safeway and frankly this place, and that design "solution" sucks.

- AVApaau Vailu'uJul 21, 20251.0This has been my go to pharmacy, been a customer for ages, but boy do they take their time on getting my medication on time, even when they say it’s ready for pickup. I’m changing pharmacy. I’m just sick of their delays.
- JWJohn WileyJan 6, 20191.0The service here is slow as molasses. Been standing in line for 20 minutes now and still have a person in front of me and 3 behind me. You would think they could hire people that work a bit faster.
