I've been shopping here for a long time. There's one cashier who is frequently there who's always…read morehelpful. I've had mixed experiences with the rest. Today was very bad. I needed to pay a utility bill. I'd done it once before and the cashier was very helpful. He told me exactly what to do and I paid the bill quickly and with no trouble. I went back today and scanned the QR code at the kiosk as I'd done before, but the only options the app offered were to pick up cash, deposit the money in a wallet, or send to an account. This was different than last time, so I went to the cashier. She had no idea at all how to use the system. I had to be somewhere so I gave up and went back later. When I got there, I again went to the kiosk and looked at the website it gave for help. That didn't show how to pay a pill, so I again scanned the QR code and saw the same options. I called the help number. The woman helped me through the transaction and said I should go to the cashier. I did. Same woman, still with no idea how the payment system worked. She said she'd never had to pay a bill that way, which is beside the point. Cashiers should know how the service they offer works. I asked if I could speak to someone who could help me. She said she'd ask the manager to come. A woman wearing about an inch of makeup, white lipstick, and painted-on hair and eyebrows arrived, glowering and chewing gum like a cow chewing her cud. She wore a badge that said "shift supervisor." She gave no indication of being interested in helping. I explained that I'd paid a bill there before but was having trouble this time. She looked online and found the transaction. I handed her a debit card. She said I could only use cash. I said that I didn't recall using cash the previous time, that I thought I'd sent the cash to the store and then they'd paid the bill. She said I could only use cash. Throughout this, no indication of being willing to help a customer, just disdain and chewing her cud. I said the cashier had said she'd get the manager, and asked if could talk to the manager. She said she'd get her. I waited for five or ten minutes and gave up. I've researched how to make this payment, and it appears I need to bring cash to the store. I don't recall doing that last time, but maybe I did, or maybe the helpful cashier directed me to the ATM there and then helped me with the rest of the transaction. Unfortunately, this place is the only location anywhere near that I can make this transaction, so I'll go back to do that, but then never again.

Safeway hung up the phone on me once. I called back, they did answer and then put me on hold until a Cisco voicemail picked up and told me there was no one available to take my call. This recording repeated indefinitely; there was no way to leave a voicemail. I called back a third time, this time they did not answer at all, and just transferred me to the Cisco voicemail that has the infinitely repeating recording. I'm switching my business to The Medicine Shoppe in Orinda. I gave them a test phone call just now - the OWNER (Naomi) picked up my call on the second ring. She was very nice and knowledgeable. I asked her why I should switch to her pharmacy. The first words out of her mouth were "Well, we answer the phone..." 'Nuff said. Good riddance Safeway! Hello Naomi!

FINAL UPDATE: 4/18/2026…read more I HAVE TRANSFERRED ALL MY PRESCRIPTIONS TO AMAZON PHARMACY. Last week, the pharmacy drive-up window was closed, no one in the pharmacy would answer the phone, a medication refill I ordered was canceled without explanation (happened before). I had my doctor send my scripts to Amazon Pharmacy, and they were delivered to my door in TWO DAYS. This is not an ad for Amazon Pharmacy. I mention this because of the comparative efficiency. Imagine not being able to get life-saving medication because your pharmacy is ignoring calls and canceling medication orders with no explanation. I'm done with this place.
