Safeway Pharmacy

"severely understaffed, causing a significant decline in service. will be on hold for over 45 minutes, phone is never picked up. good luck putting in an emergency refill request because it will not be done on time, leaving you without vital medication for days. put in a transfer request to move pharmacies over a week ago and it hasn’t been touched at all. i’m done with sacrificing my heath to receive poor service as a result. it is 100% not the employees’ fault, as they’re always very kind and understanding. safeway refuses to hire more people to actually care for their customers and i can’t take it anymore."

"Subject: Disastrous Experience at Safeway Pharmacy I feel compelled to share my utterly disastrous experience with the Safeway Pharmacy, an establishment that seems to excel in incompetence. My recent encounter has left me questioning the very foundation of their purported professionalism. To begin with, the staff demonstrated a staggering lack of knowledge. It was as if they had decided to embark on a pharmaceutical experiment without the prerequisite education. Their inability to provide accurate information not only perplexed me but also raised serious concerns about the standard of education within the pharmacy profession. Moreover, the sheer audacity of the staff to dispense incorrect information is both mind-boggling and downright dangerous. It's almost as if they believe accuracy and patient safety are optional components of their job description. Their blatant disregard for the well-being of their customers is nothing short of shameful. The need for a collective return to school appears glaringly evident. Perhaps a comprehensive refresher on basic pharmaceutical principles, customer service etiquette, and, most importantly, a lesson on the gravity of their responsibilities is in order. It's disheartening to witness a profession that's supposed to uphold the highest standards stooping to such alarming lows. In conclusion, my experience with Safeway Pharmacy has left an indelible mark on my perception of the pharmacy profession. If there's a silver lining, it's the hope that my scathing review serves as a wake-up call for Safeway to reassess its commitment to competence and integrity. Patients deserve better than the subpar performance and apathetic attitude exhibited by the Safeway Pharmacy staff."

"One of the few pharmacies that seem to stock enough opioids so I usually don't have to wait a few days more for my pain relief ... and as folks know: if you wait too long for the refill, you get severe flu-like symptoms ... I really appreciate the care this pharmacy takes of its patients."

"By far the worst pharmacy I have ever had to deal with. 3/500 times I have called someone has actually answered the phone, and 2 of those times was with an extremely unpleasant and rude woman. DONT USE THIS PHARMACY, WHATEVER YOU DO!!!!"

"There’s anywhere between 2-3 people with headsets on and typically another 1-2 walking around, but it’s a hit or miss if they answer the phones at all or if anyone even comes to the counter to help you with your refills, etc. Being of the most staffed pharmacies in the state combined with there never being more than 3 or 4 people lined up in a rush… Kinda makes you wonder how Seattle pharmacies handle 10x the traffic with just one or two people on staff."
