Safeway

This Safeway pharmacy is the WORST pharmacy. Avoid at all costs if you can. We were happy with Walgreens until our insurance discontinued their contact with them. Safeway NEVER has my prescription ready in a timely fashion. Not talking an hour or so, today it was called in six hours prior to the time I went to pick it up. I was asked to wait 30minutes (uhm, NO!!!). Then I asked if they knew anything about a pediatric probiotic, the clerk didn’t know so she went to ask the pharmacist who gave an awesome «uhhh, I don’t know, there might be some over there.» Over where? Who knows. I’ll be finding somewhere ANYWHERE else to go. Not the first time they’ve had terrible service, but its the last time I’ll take my business there!!! ((UPDATE: My husband went back this morning to pick up the same prescription that would «be ready in 30 minutes» last night. Guess what — STILL NOT READY!!! Maybe you need to stand over them while you have prescriptions filled? Lady said the shipment hadn’t come in today… Not sure how that is true since they were willing to do it while I waited last night? They are completely worthless. Called Fred Meyer, they had it done in 15minutes.

When we had a health emergency on the way to Mt Hood, I reached out to Penny and she was amazing… helped me navigate a potential 911/​hospital situation like a champion. Forever grateful!

Good deli food, good quality meat dept, high prices and outdated products keeps me from giving more stars

My 13 year old daughter is a huge Walking Dead fan. With only 24 hours notice I contacted Camee in the bakery and sent her a picture of the cake I wanted with a classic scene from The Walking Dead on it. «Yeah, I can totally make that!» she told me.
She ROCKED that cake. She spent time (I assume on her time off) checking Pinterest boards for other examples, and with 2 hours left till my daughter’s birthday party contacted me to tell me it was ready. I was so impressed when I saw it, and my daughter loved it so much she didn’t even want to cut into it.
This is true customer service. With almost zero notice their baker put her heart and soul into a project to help make a 13 year old girl’s birthday awesome. I would have gladly paid double, but the cake wasn’t a penny more than any of their standard sheet cakes.
I’ve consistently gotten this level of service from other people at this Safeway, like the time that Penny in customer service spent 20 minutes on the phone when the prepaid phone card I bought for my daughter did not work. She also went above and beyond.
They may have long lines and be short staffed sometimes, but their employees care and will go out of their way for you.

It’s true about the 8 lanes, 2 checkers, long lines, higher prices, inferior meat department. I prefer Freddie’s for my normal shopping. But what I do go in here sometimes for is the deli.
Fresh hand made sandwiches, the best being the grilled turkey and Havarti with garlic spread on Panini bread. You can get a self serve soup to go with it for a dollar more. I like the baked potato or the chili. But pass if it’s not at least ¾ full and fresh. It goes south very quickly when low, forms a thick skin, and burns on the bottom. They need to pay closer attention to out with the old, in with the new.
They have a better Italian sub than SW, but who doesn’t?

I shop here because the choices are slim. Prices are good but staff is not friendly, the never listen when I ask for paper and there seems to only be 2 checkers at all times with lines going into the isles.

Waited 20 minutes in Starbucks Safeway line. Just had to walk away! So frustrating! Get the girl some help.

Busy Safeway to be sure, however, nice employees and wonderful produce and butcher combine with great deli service make shopping fun. Employees go out of their way to make sure you have found what you need. Pharmacy is also helpful.

I live in Sandy and I never shop here anymore. Main reasons: higher prices than most other stores in Sandy, less selection, Insanely rude employees, and ridiculously long lines because of lack of registers being open. Produce department is decent rarely-​when there aren’t swarms of fruit flies-​gross. Don’t go here unless you HAVE to. Save yourself the headache and the $$.

Sandy Safeway might be one of the busier Safeways i have been in, at least compared to Troutdale. I like this one pretty much, but lines can get long when they get busy. I like the produce section, they have really expanded it over the past couple of years to include more ethnic choices. So, when I am playing Julia Childs, and in the middle of cooking and find I forgotten that ONE oddball fruit or veggie, I can skid in here sideways and grab that elusive ingredient. The prices are what keeps them from getting a much higher rating.
The deli has some pretty good stuff on it, plus they have the sandwiches made to order, easy to grab it and go for lunch. Not bad to stop in here if you are on your way up the mountain, you can throw together an pretty decent picnic lunch.

So nice to walk in to something similar
