Safeway Pharmacy

"Staff is negligent and un-knowledgeable. Olga and her techs do not know pharmaceutical law, AND/OR they LIE to customer’s faces. I’m not sure which is worse. Usually they feign ignorance to avoid transferring your prescription. I had to correct them myself. They made me do so, by continuing to fabricate NEW lies or mistakes in response to what they’re saying being easily disproven, in front of their face, and in plain view of all. Then they have secondary and tertiary lies in which they get the law WRONG. DEA Regulations regarding e-transfer of schedule 2-5 drugs is now allowed in response to the ADHD medication shortage and HAS BEEN since July 27, 2023, over 7 months ago. Shameful. She says “It’s illegal”, I show her it’s NOT. “Suddenly” she all-of-a-sudden “knows” the regulation, and get’s it WRONG again- says its for schedule 3-5. It’s 2-5. Easily shown. A minute ago there “was no” regulation, now suddenly there is, and she still gets it wrong. FINALLY Olga THEN says there is a STATE regulation prohibiting e-transfer, which there is NOT; the BOLDEST statement - because it can’t be mistaken for human error (which would ALSO be OUTRAGEOUS- pharmaceutical mistakes can KILL) No such state regulation was found. Or exists. After being educated by a customer in their OWN craft, which requires LICENSURE- a stock of vyvanse that they “did not have” magically appeared for me. Weird how that works. Pills that are OOS magically appear when they’re called out for being dishonest. Stop going to this pharmacy before they hurt someone. But hey, at least she was “nice.”"

"Very unreliable and slow. I spoke with multiple staff last week about filling a prescription and they told me it would be filled. When I went to pick it up today, the staff told me they did not carry that medication and would have to order it. So after speaking with 3 different staff members over the course of a week, the medication is still not filled. Would not recommend this pharmacy."

"Staff (esp Olga) work very hard to help customers quickly, so the time spent waiting in line is short. This has been my pharmacy for years and they’ve never made even the tiniest mistake. SO much better than Barbur Fred Meyer or the nearby Walgreens. No comparison"

"The website says "Walk-Ins welcome, no appointment necessary" for vaccines. This is not true! When I called numerous times to confirm this information, I found that they don't answer the phone, nor do they return a message....so it was a wasted trip and wasted time waiting in line! I prefer considerate and accurate information!"

"This pharmacy is truly awful. I've had problems with them filling orders on time in the past but nothing like this. My dog has had an eye injury/possible infection for over a month now and has seen the vet twice. They finally prescribed a course of antibiotics to treat it and I had them call this Safeway to fill it - big mistake. Two weeks, multiple phone calls both from me and the vet, and several voicemails later and guess what - still no medication or even a single call back. By comparison Costco filled it for me within 48 hours. In terms of recommending this location, if this was the last pharmacy on earth I would say open your own."
