  Zero stars should be an option. Definitely not worth your time. They are inconsistent with very long wait times. I was “helped” by Yelena, who missed one of my prescriptions said nothing. Threw the other prescriptions in the bag without confirming medication. When asked after a second round in line she was very rude, didn’t take any accountability for withholding medications, also had me waiting an additional 45 minutes to fill the missing prescription that was ordered two days prior. They wasted so much time over an issue that could have been solved in 20 minutes but instead took 2 hours of me waiting around. Find a better pharmacy, this one is not it.

  I have no other issues with other Safeway pharmacies in Tacoma. I love them in fact. This store not so much. I think it would behoove some of the pharmacists and technicians to understand off-label uses for medications and to not treat people like they are trying to get over on them by "filling early" by 2 days when it takes 2 days to get the medication ordered and ready. My insurance company and my doctor both have told me I should do it this way. Pharmacist shouldn't be adding to the stigmas of certain medications. I don't want to get hooked on traditional opiate medication so I take something different so that I'm not high all day long. So I deserve harsh scrutiny about filling it one or two days "early" even though it never gets picked up early?? The funny part is that when I was taking mass quantities of opiate pain medication, they had no issue filling it early. Obviously early. But the pharmacist will stick to that strict 30 day time limit - only at this location - only with this medication. I don't drink or do drugs. I'm trying to prevent myself from ending up being addicted to these medications. So now is when they decide to be vigilant about the issue? It's very frustrating to be honest. I'm trying to do the right thing and I'm being met with even more scrutiny than when I was not trying to do the right thing.

  Never enough cashiers and always issues with the self checkout stations making for VERY long lines almost every day. Be aware

  The Customer Service Clerk was standing at the counter, head tilted downward and appeared to be downloading the Customer's coupons onto her smart phone-however what was really going on was the Clerk was literally nodded off. Granted, it was only 2 or 3 minutes of her being "checked out" (pardon the pun), but that's just a little too long when it's your second day on the job. I know it was her second day on the job because when she "came to" and i asked her a question, she said she had no idea because it was her second day on the job. Five minutes into holding the phone and staring blankly across the store, she called Derek or Randy or someone to come help the 4 of us that were now in line. Once Derek/Randy showed up, she wandered off without saying a word to him regarding why his presence was requested - I'm assuming she went to go look for her pupils.
