      My doctor called in a prescription for pregabalin (90 100mg tabs) on Wednesday 01 March 2023 to the Safeway Pharmacy in ********, **. When I went in to pick up the prescription on Friday 03 March 2023, I was told it was out of stock, but should be in Saturday 04 March 2023. I presented a Good RX coupon for 90 tabs of pregabalin 100mg for $29.10 with $15 off for a total of $14.10. I returned to the pharmacy on Saturday 04 March 2023 and the individual in the pharmacy said something must have changed, now he wanted $52.80. I have attached a copy of the coupon.

      I have gone to Safeway 5 times in the month of February and every single time, the store has been out of stock of items in their ad and advertised on their website as IN STOCK. They are specifically claiming sale items are in stock and then when I drive all the way over to the store, they are NOT in stock and neither are multiple other items they advertise on their website. This is a consistent issue with the stores in our area and several employees have told us that the person doing the ordering does not know what they are doing and often fails to order enough items on purpose. This has resulted in wasted gas and time going to Safeway! This has been happening for months. I was unable to use my $5 Fresh Pass February credit because every time I went to the store, despite their website saying the items I wanted were in stock, they were NOT in stock. I did a chat on 3-1-23 with a very slow Agent ********** who refused to put the $5 courtesy credit on my account and kept me waiting on the chat line for almost 60 minutes and refused to put a Supervisor on the line to address the continued issue that I've had for months. This has been an ongoing issue. The Safeway Agent ********** should have put the $5 February Fresh Pass perk on my account as a courtesy credit because it was Safeway's fault that the items they advertise and I want are never in stock when other stores in the area have zero problems keeping the same items in stock. At a minimum, I want the $5 Februrary Fresh Pass put on my account as a courtesy credit.

      Complaint: 19521613

      I am rejecting this response because:  I've been telling Safeway Chat about these problems for MONTHS and nothing has changed. They spout the same rhetoric and nothing changes.  Their website continues to say items are in stock and I get to the store and 4 out of 5 items are OUT OF STOCK and they're sale items.  It's classic BAIT AND SWITCH. 

      ONCE and ONLY ONCE I get confirmation that the STORE is taking action to correctly ORDER AND KEEP IN STOCK ITEMS THEY ADVERTISE IN THEIR AD AND ON THEIR WEBSITE, will I close this complaint. 

      Contact from the store to me should be made in EMAIL format so I have a written record to provide to BBB and the FTC.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      The store manager still has NOT contacted me and the problems CONTINUE!  I was at the *************** *** location on Saturday 3-25-23 at 10am and there was NO stock of the advertised pork chops out and there had not been any out for over 24 hours.  A butcher employee ignored several requests for them to be put out by over 8 people waiting for them.  It took over 45 minutes for them to put out 3 packages for over 8 people waiting around for them!  This is a classic BAIT AND SWITCH and I've reported this to the ************ Attorney General and the FTC.  This is against the law!  

      In addition, the Cod is still not stocked even though the other 2 stores in the general area have the advertised Cod in stock.  There is something very wrong with whoever is managing this store and doing the ordering and stocking of this store or you are purposely baiting and switching customers of this particular location to try to get them to purchase higher priced items by saying you are out of stock of advertised sale items.  

      EVERY WEEK THIS IS HAPPENING!

      This is the most crooked business i ever patronized. If they're not ripping you off at the register, or ripping you off with bait and switch tactics, they're ripping you off on their website. You're a fool if you don't check your receipt before you leave the store. The "Safeway for You" app is a joke! The ad automatically reverts to the *******, ** store; so, if you think you're clipping coupons from your local store ... WRONG! That stuff never shows up on your Safeway Card. Likewise, they don't put the name of the city on their weekly ad, so you won't know they're ripping you off even if you took the time to look. Moreover, they advertise ************ sold out 2 hours into the weekly advertisement they advertised the product in. The digital coupons you click are often not honored at the register. They advertise stuff to get you into their store; once you do you get the bait & switch! Getting ripped off at the register once is an honest mistake, but 9 out of 10 times, in that many weeks is intentional. They can't be that stupid! They're crooks! They cant count and cheat you on the 8pc chicken by only giving you 6pcs. They cheat you at the register by charging you for 4 avocados when you buy 3. They cheat you by leaving stuff out when they're bagging your stuff; you only find out stuff's missing when you're at home putting your groceries away. They shift the price tags around so if you need to buy 5 or 10 of something to get a deal, one of those items won't be part of the deal & then you get charged full price for the other 4 or 9 items. God rest his soul, but my 9th grade business teacher would be using Safeway as an example in his "No truth in Advertising" lecture; he was a ******** for ad gimmicks. There is nothing below Safeway when it comes to cheating their customers; and the employees are apathetic and indifferent. The latest; now you got to click the clickbait to view the weekly ad. They need to be forced out of the business, they're unethical & immoral !!!

      I needed groceries and ordered a delivery from safeway.com on 2/22/23, the groceries should have been delivered on 2/23/23. On Feb. 23rd there was a snowstorm in ******** ****** and I was left a voicemail (by ****** at ************) saying everything was backed up because of the storm and if I wanted my groceries delivered at the same agreed upon time on Feb. 24th I should answer there next call and let them know. I never got another call so I called the original number that left the voicemail on Feb. 24. During this call I talked with ****** and he stated there is only one truck doing deliveries although this was one more truck than they had on Feb. 23rd and he would put me on a delivery list. I got some groceries on Feb. 25 except I received less than half my order by a doordash delivery person. I called again and spoke with ***** this time. ***** took down the missing items which were 3 bags of signature select pistachios 20oz. with a total of $20.97; 3x signature care gauze pads with a total of $10.50; 1x Tofurkey sausage kielbasa with a total of $6.49; 2x ***'s black bean vegetable enchilada 9.5oz with a total of $12.98; 2x ***'s black bean vegetable enchilada whole meal 10oz for a total of $12.98. I paid using a combination of snap and Mastercard and was only ever refunded the master card total and am still owed $52.42 on my snap card. I called the number again today and nobody is answering I have also called customer service and they say I have been refunded except there isn't any money on my EBT snap card.

      About two months ago I was at the Safeway on **************** in ********** **********, I had just gotten off work and was exhausted and just needed to pick up a few items for dinner/for the house. I will admit I was moving a little slower than normal because I work 12 hour days and was covering for a sick coworker so hadnt had a day off in two weeks, point being I was exhausted and shopping a Little slowly. The first sign of trouble was when I noticed the security guard literally following me from aisle to aisle just staring me down. I tried to ignore this as best as I could until I finally just asked them if everything was all right, they brushed off my question with an, of course I just want to see if you need help with anything. Yeah, sure you do ****** I wasnt born yesterday and clearly Im making you suspicious somehow but I told her I was fine and tried to just keep shopping. The next sign was when an actual police officer walked into the store, walked right up to me and asked me if I was stealing anything. He stated that the business had called him on their behalf saying I was acting suspiciously and he wanted to verify that everything was fine. I assured him it was, he kind of sheepishly said OK thank you **** and left. It just got worse from here, the female manager who was working proceeded to give me the dirtiest looks, audibly spoke about me to other workers and said I was stealing, then when I was in line to PAY for my items she went up to the checker and whispered some thing to her about me stealing then they both gave me dirty looks and I should add this was in front of a group of at least 15 other customers who looked horrified by all of it. As a business, you had better be really sure someone is stealing before you outright accuse them of that, and especially when the only evidence that you have is that they are taking too long in your eyes. Ive never been more horrified by treatment from a business, this manager should be terminated ASAP

      This company fails to resolve issues they create. I am unable to create orders online due to my information not matching up. This was an employee error at the store and when I ask for someone to change it in stores or through the phone I get a run around excuse. Do you know what they say to do? LIE AND CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT WITH FALSE INFORMATION. It is frustrating because I shouldnt have to create new emails and change my phone number to use their services. They need to figure out a way to resolve this because this is an absolutely disgusting and outrageous way to do business.

      I ordered my Covid Tests with the Pharmacy employee in the late afternoon and she said it would be ready in about 15 minutes. I returned to the pharmacy to pick them up after doing a little shopping. I was the only one on line and waiting for the pharmacy to finish with the customer in front of me. I noticed the employee began pulling down the window blind so I made sure she saw I was there. When I walked up to the window the pharmacy employee continued to pull down the blind. I told her I needed the Covid tests and that I was the only one on line because she began telling me that it was six oclock and needed to close. I told her again that I only needed to pickup the tests and that I needed them but she refused and closed the window right in my face. Aside from being extremely rude and that having covid tests is important right now (I am diabetic) it is also extremely inconvenient to return to the pharmacy when this could have been accomplished in less than two minutes. I cannot get back to the pharmacy Sunday since busses do not run here on Sundays. I am not available Monday or Tuesday and work the rest of the week. The pharmacy should therefore mail these to me at my address listed above and this treatment to customers should be on public record.

      Complaint: 19430911

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Thank you for your note. It was the ********** location. Since you wont have anyone there put the tests in the mail then it seems there isnt anything you are willing to do to actually provide a solution. I was right at the windwo when your associate rejected helping me while I was there and you are rejecting sending them to me. The tests now are against my ******** policy for the months allotment. She was three feet away from my prescription. This is startling poor customer service. Absolutely amazing.


      Sincerely,

      *****************************

      This calls to attention an incident that occurred on February 17, 2023 at 10:30am in the Safeway store located at ***********************., in *************. I was berated and mistreated by the online ordering customer support manager while picking up order #********. It is important to point out that this is not the first time I have been shown such unprovoked rudeness, and substantial disrespect by this individual.After checking-in online and presenting myself to customer support at the front of the store, I am invariably instructed to proceed to the online ordering support desk, located at the back of the store, to retrieve my order. Despite my calm demeanor, patience and willingness to follow Safeways protocols for online ordering, the online ordering customer support person at this ********************** glared at me and demanded to know why I was I there.After explaining that I had been told by customer service to head back to retrieve my order, the online customer support manager glared at me, and began to fill my cart with items from my order, rather abruptly.Later, I received a call from this manager, who accused me of misrepresenting myself as a DoorDash employee. I have never misrepresented myself to any Safeway employee, and have always provided valid ID on demand, whenever I have been asked. I fail to understand what motive I could have for characterizing myself as anything other than a customer when picking up my order, or how behaving in such a manner could benefit me in any way. The online ordering process at Safeway.com seems very narrowly-designed to support only those customers who own and expect to pick up their orders using some kind of vehicle. I live across the street from this Safeway, which should be convenient for placing an order online and picking up manually.As a loyal customer of **********************, I am deeply disappointed in the lack of respect and professionalism demonstrated by this stores online customer service.

      Digital coupon app and deceptive, unethical business practices.I just returned from my local Safeway, what a waste of time. We tried to use the Safeway app for the digital coupons which doesnt work very well in our rural community. It wasnt working so we informed our clerk at checkout of the problem and were told he could apply it on his end. He rang it up and none of the just for U coupons applied. So we had to go to the customer desk and spend about a half an hour getting our refunds. I wonder how many people dont check this and end up paying much more than advertised price. I also feel this is an intentional way by Safeway to get more of our hard earned dollars. 24% on this trip. Ive shopped here for over 40 years and will not come back. The employees in my store are great, Safeway in my opinion are crooks. Good bye and good riddance.
