Walgreens

Good for my pharmacy pick up with a drive thru. Some times they can take really long. To get your order. But most they time they are quick and easy the nice covenant drive thru pharmacy option

PHARMACY STAFF IS BEYOND RUDE!!! Terrible service! Spent 45 minutes in the drive thru line even though there was only one person ahead of me… then when I get to the window, they had an issue billing to my insurance and instead of helping me, the Pharmacist Cathy told me I needed to call to resolve it. I told them to call the Pharmacy Help Desk and she insisted that I call to fix it. I started calling to get my claim fixed and she said I would have to come inside the store or go to the back of the drive thru line! I told her I was getting it fixed and I was not going to the back of the line and she just told me that she cannot have me holding up the drive thru line while I’m on hold on the phone. I told her that I’ve already been waiting 45 minutes and that I wasn’t leaving. She just walked away from the window and didn’t come back.
RUDE! Sending my prescriptions elsewhere!

The pharmacy staff her is the WORST! Rude as can be. If you need to contact a doctor DO IT and stop talking about it… smh. Always trying to give people a hard time. Try being polite for once you are working with the public!

At least twice a week

Came here since I wanted coffee and my other half wanted to get a few personal items on a late evening. The place looked good inside and out. I even used the restroom here. You have to get a code from an employee to use the restroom.

I’m kind of indifferent about this place. I like that they’re open ²⁴⁄₇ and it’s down the street from where I live. I like to be able to rent a movie or buy condoms. What I don’t like is how the cashiers look at me like I’m going to rob the place haha. Also there’s always cops there so it makes me uneasy because most of the time I’m high as balls. That’s all :)

I have been reading all the reviews on this store which were posted last year mostly, and it looks like the store has improved their customer service quite a bit, I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the pricing. Today I was on a hunt for a new product that is sold EXCLUSIVELY to Walgreens, so they should have it right? Well, this one was my first stop and they did have it, but most of the colors were gone, so I picked 2 of them up (lipgloss) and also picked up a few other things and went on to the next Walgreens, who did not have what I was looking for, however on the other items I had purchased, this Walgreens had them for 50 cents less? The manager made up the difference for me though, but then I traveled to another 3 Walgreens and all of them had the same prices, and all were 50 cents less than this one, now come on people, we are talking about a 5 mile radius here. So, maybe they raised their prices so they could afford better help then? Anyhow, just be aware that if you shop at this location, their prices are higher than ALL the other ones.

It’s a Walgreens.
The reason for frequenting it so much is because they have a Red Box inside. I HATE dealing with the parking situation at Walmart so this is the next closest Red Box. That’s all.

Walgreens is Walgreens. Nothing special.

Very nice people working who are willing to help out. Haven’t had a bad experience here. They updated their technology at registers, too, so the process is faster. It’s not a 24 hour pharmacy, but I thought people might have noticed by now in 2012 that Walgreens as more on the convenience store marketing side. Just look at their ads… they want you to shop there for Christmas presents.

I usually just go here if I HAVE to, since it’s the only 24 hour Walgreens that is closest to me.
I wouldn’t want to give this pharmacy a bad review but I thought people deserve to know how rude employees can be at this location.
Nothing was done to me, but I was turned off by how incredibly unprofessional and rude this cashier was to another customer.
I work in retail, so I can understand why there are certain days where there aren’t enough cashiers just because managers had to cut hours due to payroll. I know customers will complain that there aren’t enough registers open when there’s a long line, and frankly, they have a right to do so. You, as the worker, just have to handle it as professionally as possible.
This all happened last night– My cashier was helping me when an older lady asked her if they could open another register as there were about 20 people in line. My cashier got upset and said, «and there’s only two of us so if you want us to help you, you can go back in line. Thank you.» The older lady walked away, and the cashier muttered under her breath, «I’m tired of this shit.» She angrily proceeded to grab my change from her drawer and slapped it on my hand. She didn’t even bother to give me my receipt. What a jerk!
The older lady then walked out the store saying she’ll come back when it wasn’t so bad.
I understand that when you work in retail you get frustrated and tired of all the things that people (managers or customers) put you through, but please, god forbid, you still have to maintain a professional attitude. You may want to get angry and say angry things but DO IT IN YOUR HEAD and/​or not in front of any customer. It reflects badly on you AND the whole company.
Walgreens, maybe it’s time to weed out bad employees and start hiring new and improved workers. There are so many people who don’t have jobs given this economy and I’m sure there are better workers who would love to work for you.

The Cashiers were less than friendly

I went to pick up my refill prescription today, the Vietnamese pharmacist on staff was clueless and gave me incorrect information. Turned out he looked up someone else’s screen, then told me they didn’thave my medication. Later on he went to check and said it was in stock but I had to pay full price in cash. This was BS information he was telling me because I have my insurance’s copay to pay only but he was not competent to look up the right account, and instead wanted me to pay in cash for the full price?! Isn’t this unethical and was he going to pocket the cash payment for my refill? Note that this is a refill so all my insurance and copay are on file, it is not my first order to demand full price cash payment either. Needless to say, I am switching pharmacy, patient beware.

helpful pharmacist…
close to home… regular.

Disclaimer, I didn’t go in because I always pick up my prescriptions at their drive thru window. I’m giving them 5 stars because they make sure you know your prescription is ready. They have an automated caller that will call and call and call until you come get your meds. At the drive through, there is usually no lines and they get you in and out of there super fast. Anytime I can avoid getting out of my car is a plus and they have good service too.

The place is clean. I mean it looks like any other drug store. My beef with this place is the ridiculous amount they charge you for medication when you dont have insurance. I went to Ride Aid and it literally $ 60 less than what they wanted to charge. That’s just high way robbery people.
«Eek? Methinks not.» NOT NOT NOT

So i was discharged from the hospital at about 9:30 on Saturday night with a list of prescriptions to fill so sent to Walgreens with the big lighted letters out front that says «24 HOUR PHARMACY» So we walk in and are immediately asked by the kid working there if we there to fill a prescription, I affirmed that we were and he said the pharmacy is closed.
So what is the point of having a 24 hour pharmacy, with a pharmacy that closes?
I will never shop at a Walgreens, not that I actually have.

Ever since I moved to this area I have been taking my prescriptions to this Walgreens location. I am now gradually changing pharmacies to the Rite Aid on Beach & Rosecrans because this Walgreens seems to be giving me more and more problems.
First off, they are now closed from noon to 1:30PM, which is the prime time I would be dropping off or picking up a ‘scrip. Annoying. Secondly, even though I always call in to get my refills and schedule a time for pickup, they never seem to have my prescription ready when I go to pick it up. For a while I was getting nonstop phone calls saying I had a ‘scrip ready for pick up when I didn’t. I finally called the pharmacy and asked why I kept getting those calls, it took 2 people on the line to figure out my phone number had been added to someone else’s profile, that’s just a little scary, what other info are they mixing up? Finally last week when I went to pick up a prescription my doc had called in for me they acted like they didn’t even know who I was! The guy that was helping me kept saying, «is this your first time here?» and when I told him no and that I had received an automated call saying my prescription was ready for pickup all he said was «I don’t think we called you»… WTF?
