Walgreens

Perfectly A-​OK Walgreens. The employees are very nice and helpful.

The assistant store manager at this location is amazing. I attempted to use my loyalty card and asked him if he totaled the transaction he said «no» when he clearly did so. I really don’t like liars.

Today was the first time that I’ve ever went into this Walgreens and I have to say that it was very unfriendly service. No one seemed interested in trying to assist me in what I needed. Pretty sketchy place. I won’t be back to that Walgreens anymore.

A joke, even by Walgreen’s standards.
Sent my photos in via the website to be printed. Got the e-​mail that the order was ready. Go in. No photos. Fine, when will they be ready? Oh no, we have no record of any order from you. I show them the confirmation e-​mail with the confirmation number. Am told such e-​mail isn’t their problem and there’s nothing that can be done. My jaw drops.
Just think what fun this store will have with your life-​saving prescriptions!

This is a basic drug store where you will run in to grab a needed item but nothing more. The location makes me nervous and there is typically at least one homeless person close to the door asking for money when you leave. The lines can get long and very rarely do they have more than one cashier. I would make sure you lock your doors to your car when you get out.

I usually go to the Walgreens on Montrose even though the one on Almeda is way closer to me, but the few times I’ve been to this location because I didn’t feel like driving I was very disappointed with this Walgreens, they are extremely rude and unattended. It almost looks as if it’s run by zombies.

(2 ½ stars.) This is our neighborhood drugstore, on Almeda at the corner of Southmore, in the Museum District. We often stop by, & I’ve always liked it. For those who drive here, there’s plenty of parking out front. The store is always clean, tidy, & well-​stocked. And though it’s a small Walgreen’s, it houses a pharmacy & photo department, offers plenty of groceries, & even vaccinates customers (older than 12 years of age) against influenza. Even this Amazon Prime Mom often finds good deals at this location. And despite it’s high turnover rate, the employees here are consistently courteous & professional with-​, & helpful to me & everyone else in the store – even when they look bored out of their skulls. Best of all is the selection. Somehow this little old Walgreen’s almost always has what I’m looking for; management has always done a great job maximizing space.
Recently however, this store seems to have finally run out of space altogether. Within the past month, I’ve barely been able to get my 29″ wide twin stroller through the front door, & it doesn’t fit down a few of the aisles at all. And as this stroller is the same width as a standard wheelchair, if you’re mobility-​impaired, chances are you won’t be able to shop here anymore either.
I spoke with a manager re. this. He blamed corporate Walgreen’s, complaining that «they want us to put up too many displays», although we don’t have this problem at the Walgreen’s in the Medical Center (in the lobby of 6400 Fannin St.). Whoever is responsible is flagrantly violating the Americans with Disabilities Act, which grants the disabled right of access in pharmacies.
Avoid this business if you have a stroller larger than the smallest umbrella stroller, are mobility-​impaired, or just want to show your solidarity with the disabled. It’s A-​okay for everyone else.
If you do wish or need to shop elsewhere, Fiesta Mart is exactly 1.0 mile away. Just go north on Almeda & turn left onto Wheeler. The store is on the right-​hand side of the street, just beyond the underpass beneath Rt. 59. Prices here are generally reasonable, & Fiesta Mart’s staff is also consistently courteous; professional; & helpful, but unlike the Walgreen’s on Almeda, Fiesta Mart offers access for all.

A classic drug store!

Keep your wits about you here.
Curious folks walking about.
Nice staff and they always have what I need.
I do frequent this location, but keep my eyes open.
This is a LONG way form Upper Kirby, you feel me?

I don’t live in Houston but on this visit, I have to have a prescription refilled-​it was after 10:00 pm. While there, a woman was yelling at the pharmacy staff about her prescriptions in a tirade that went on for at least ten minutes. Throughout it all, the staff remained poised, patient, and professional, working to solve the woman’s problems given the information they had. The woman eventually stormed out of the store after having taken at least ten minute of the staff’s time.
I know pharmacies exist to provide a service but no one should have to put up with the verbal abuse this woman put on the staff. I commend them on how they handled this situation. I’m not sure I would habe been as calm.

ok I came back to the Rx drive through and was helped right away. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I think last time (based on my last review) they only had 1 pharmacy clerk and this time they had 2 (one helping the customer inside, the other can do drive thru when needed). I guess it’s lack of staffing last time that i had to wait so long at the drive thru.

Yep. Walgreens is Walgreens. I try to make sure and call my prescriptions in way early to avoid the wait in the pharmacy, The drive through is a plus… I dont like to be tempted by all the cosmetics when Im only there to pick up medication. I know thats the point, but damn that Evian aersol spray facial water! I never knew that I needed it before. Ditto the snuggie. Im a sucker.

I come here often because well it’s convenient. It is a very busy location for the same reason. There really isn’t another store in the area, much less a grocery store that is close, they’re a couple miles away.
There are many regulars that frequent this store. I can tell because every time my check out is slowed down because the cashier is involved with conversation with the other peoples in line.
The pharmacy is dreadfully slow. If you can avoid it go somewhere else. You should at not point use their drive-​thru. I was stuck in it several times behind someone that dropped their prescription off and proceeded to wait at the window while it was filled. I really don’t understand why they allow someone to sit in the drive-​thru and wait for 30+ minutes to pick it up.
Be careful in the parking lot, people tend to park in front of the Red Box while they are making their selection.

Your basic Walgrens, but they get a positive review for sticking with the Almeda neighborhood. Nice to have a local place open in the evening when you need something, and given the things a modern Walgrens stocks, that can be anything from a refill on your prescription to a quart of milk.
