Very disappointed with my experience at CVS Pharmacy today. I pulled into the drive-thru at 12:26…read morep.m. and was immediately told, in a loud and dismissive tone, that they were closed for lunch and that I needed to come back later. I asked what time they closed because the website clearly says 12:30 p.m., but the employee ignored my question. I parked and walked inside, arriving around 12:28 p.m., where they were already pulling the metal security gates down. The same employee loudly said, "We're closed." When I pointed out that it was only 12:28 and they told me they closed at 12:30, she insisted it was "already after 12:30," even though it wasn't. I understand employees need lunch breaks, but closing early and then being rude and argumentative about it is unacceptable. If your posted lunch hours say 12:30, customers shouldn't be turned away before then. A little professionalism and courtesy would have gone a long way.

I used to go to this Walmart plenty of times in the past when I was younger and still lived in…read moreCalifornia. This Walmart like all the others had the same issues that never seemed to be resolved no matter how many years have passed. A smelly and filthy parking lot that always reeked of sewage and trash. Poor customer service from employees which is not a shocker as that is a common trend at Walmart. Always messy and dirty aisles that are clobbered with trash and products out of place. A dirty floor that is never cleaned and bathrooms that always reeked of sewage too. Especially the bathroom right near the main entrance which always had a toilet that is out of order and never fixed. This Walmart used to have some good things though from the past from what I remember. Such as having a McDonald's that is now like other reviewers have mentioned, blocked off and empty with nothing in it's place. And then of course theres the pricing and the variety of products that only Walmart carries that most other popular retailers don't. It used to fun going to this Walmart years ago to look at the legos or more specifically the Bionicles when they were still being made and popular in the early 2000's. And it was almost always fun going to the McDonald's here to fill up on food or get an ice cream cone. In the end, I am still not a fan of Walmart and I doubt I ever will be as they all almost always have the exact same issues.

On the retail side, the shelves are literally half empty, and have been for almost a year. And last week I had my doc send a prescription there, only to find out after driving over, that they did not have it in stock. Poor communication. Between the Front of house and back of house failures, this location, and possibly the entire corporation, will not survive. I suggest mark Cuban's Cost Plus drugs, which will literally save you 50% - 90% on most prescriptions.

I've been shopping at this Safeway for three years, and I have never experienced customer service this consistently unpleasant. The 2.7 Yelp rating honestly doesn't surprise me at all.

I felt like I was in a "going out of business" place...could have sworn I saw tumbleweeds. I don't see why this place is so big, yet so devoid of life. Service was awful. I have a buddy who works at Pixar and saw Cars 2 toys on the shelf. At the time these were street dated and weren't supposed to be out yet. I brought it to the manager's attention and was totally blown off and he walked back on put the 2 cars I had right back on the shelf. Today I saw that they were still selling BORDERS gift cards...you know, that book store that closed down MONTHS ago. So what happens when some poor grandma picks one up as a Christmas present? read more

Everyone focusing on stocking the store from 9-930 I guess.

I received flu and COVID-19 vaccines here yesterday because they said on the phone they had the…read moreModerna vaccine but they offered no proof of what they were administering and requested that I take a seat in the waiting room while they prepared the needles, so for all I know I may have received the wrong vaccine. In the past, at other pharmacies, they have prepared the needles in front of me when they take them out of the box, where I can see what they are doing when they prepare the needles and showed me the empty wrapper that said the name of the vaccine before disposing of it in the trash, which was much more reassuring. It was a nice waiting room though and hopefully they administered what I signed up for. The cashier was not able to even place the order though because she ran into a problem while entering my insurance information, so she reached out to the pharmacist, who took over and finished the entry of information for the cashier, without showing or explaining anything to the cashier, who stepped aside and resumed taking other orders. The pharmacist at this point mumbled something under her breath, so I asked her what she said and she replied, "I'll take care of it. Don't worry." It was a good experience overall. No reaction from vaccines.

COVID vaccine rating…read more I took my 12-year-old child to Safeway to receive his Pfizer vaccine. No appointment needed but I did call ahead to ask how long the wait was. We only ended up waiting about 15 minutes. It was a very smooth experience. Like a well-oiled machine. You essentially fill out a form at the check-in window. Be sure to bring a passport or school ID for your child. The person who administered the vaccine was very professional and friendly. My son was a little nervous but she put him at ease. I'm so grateful for healthcare workers. Incredibly convenient to do this at Safeway. Also thought it was funny that the ice cream freezer seemed to be strategically placed right outside the pharmacy. My son saw it as he was getting a shot and promptly requested an ice cream sandwich. Of course I obliged :) At the time of this review, the vaccine administering hours are: 9a-1230pm | 2-7pm
