Walgreens

I don’t know what possessed me to even consider getting a prescription filled at Walgreens. Being someone with a chronic condition, I, unfortunately, have a lot of experience with pharmacies. Stopped at this on as it was a workers comp script and it was close. When I got there they had to check to see if they had naprosyn… weird to me as it’s quite common. Then OMG, it’s workers comp, only one person knows what to do. One tech asked me if I had the «card». Had no clue what she was talking about so she said she needed the pharmacy billing numbers. I looked at her and said «can’t you call?» as there clearly was a number listed under «workers comp billing info». She gave some excuse that it could be the lawyer or whatever and I just told her never mind I’ll go somewhere else. Then she said she would call. After waiting a bit, she could not get the info that she needed so I just kicked myself for going there and took my Rx back.
At my regular pharmacy, even before I was a regular, they ALWAYS offered to call whoever they needed to and get whatever info they needed. Also, if they weren’t able to get a hold of someone, they offer to call the next day for me. I’ve seen them do it for many people. I thought that maybe the Walgreen’s people in Long Beach would be better and more friendly then the ones in La Palma but WOW was I wrong! It’s like CVS, apparently they only hire incompetent, unfriendly, unhelpful workers.

Right before we walked in someone walked in and was greeted. When i walked in with my mom and my son we did not get greeted. We first used their ATM next to the register. We were there for about 5 minutes and then we went to buy the 2 items we were there for. As soon as we arrived to the aisle we began browsing through the products and tried to decide which brand we would decide on. Almost immediately after we started browsing a female employee shows up out of nowhere and pretends to fix and straighten things in a shelf nearby. I’m sure they thought we were there to steal something. There were other shoppers around but yet we were the only ones targeted and observed while shopping. That was the most uncomfortable shopping experience ever at a walgreens. I will NEVER shop there again. They do not deserve my business if they think I am there to do something else.

Love this place always has what I need when it sick season! The place seems to be clean always and keeps friendly staff around. This is my go to pharmacy! If you live near by I suggest clog hear also!

This place is strange at times. Half the time I get decent service and the other half of the time, I get horrible service. There is usually someone outside the entrance of the store begin for money, which I don’t like. I went here to pick up a 1-​hour photo order over 2 hours after placing the order. First of all, it was supposed to be completed in 1 hour. Secondly, it was an order of 2 prints. And third, when I went to pick up the order there was not one Walgreens employee working at the photo section. I had to wait at least 5 minutes before they could get someone to help me. Then, when someone was finally available to help me, they could not find my order. They went to the back section where the photos get printed and discovered that my photos were printing out of the machine. I was less than satisfied with this 1-​hour photo order. From now on, I will wait until the next day to pick up my photo orders.

This wal greens is located down the street from work so I can always come here to get some items I may need without going out of my way. The store itself is your basic Walgreens with your everyday items and drugs .
They gave a good selection of seasonal and holiday items In the center of the store so make sure to pick up some chocolates or whatever strikes your fancy .
The red box is located on the outside of the store facing Atlantic blvd just in case you are wondering. I know the red box is important to a lot of people .
The staff is usually nice and attentive if you need some help. They try to get people out at soon as possible but it can be difficult considering they only have two check outs. Occasionally photo or make up will ring some people up .
Good overall Walgreens

Nice and clean Walgreens located on the Main Street of Atlantic. Since Walgreens has my banks atm whenever I go anywhere and I need cash I make sure I visit this pharmacy/​store. The layout is the same as any Walgreens. The parking is plentiful and the staff is nice and quick and to ring you up.

This is the worst pharmacy drive-​thru I’ve ever seen. We sat behind one car for 30 minutes afraid that the minute we’d leave would be they minute they were finished. If there’s a problem, they should invite the person inside and clear the drive-​through. My kid sat in back hungry and impatient. Going to Target from now on.

The pharmacy drive thru window usually takes a while to get your Rxs.

This store is the little store that could. The pharmacy, photo and makeup are a very helpful group. They are attentive and try to help you with any issue that might arise.
I have been coming to the pharmacy for years. The associates behind the counter are very helpful in your needs. Just ask. Prices might not be the cheapest but the staff and some of their sales make this store great!

Slowest service. The manager clearly saw there was a long line and a wait but decided it was more important to stock the Gatorade !

Yep, a 2-​star drop. Why, you ask?
Simple, if your photo department isn’t up to standard or something is wrong with my photo, CALL ME.
Had a passport photo taken on Saturday, May 17. The associate told me that they call me when it was ready. I told him it wasn’t a rush, I’d just come back Monday or Tuesday.
Come back Tuesday, see the same associate, ask for my photo. Another associate checks the bin, couldn’t find my order and asked the lead associate (I’m thinking lead since he was wearing a vest and tie) about my order. He told me, «Oh, it didn’t turn out.»
Great, I have an appointment for Wednesday afternoon and you don’t call and tell me that same day, let alone THREE F-​ING DAYS LATER that the photo «didn’t turn out.»
The other rep (bless her, I’ll thank her when I pick up my prescription next time) chimed in «You can try either Cherry/​Market or Lakewood/​South». I thanked her (and not Mr. Vest and Tie), turned around and left.
Question: why take down my name and number, then NOT call me if there’s a problem. Walgreen’s fail.
«Be well.» Yah, great, thanks, make a fairly involved process obtaining a passport even more involved because your manager-​guy Charlie Foxtrots the photo.

Clean well stocked and staff who go the extra mile in customer care this is what I want in a pharmacy Walgreens does all that and more.
I’ve used this location for many years there are at least two pharmacist available to discuss medication with you they are always well stocked in the medicine I need and if it’s not available they fast track ever order.
I use the call in pre-​fill service 562−424−3963 it’s fast secure and pick up is always a breeze.
You can have your blood pressure checked and they offer flu shots as well.
They supply any and everything you need to get well in this store and will special order anything not in stock.
I always do a little shopping while my order is being filled they have so many interesting things to buy a huge makeup selection which I love and gifts galore.
Don’t let me get started on the snacks in this store they have every candy you can think of on the planet, you name it and I bet they have it.
They sell wine too and have a nice variety available.
They have a small deli section with sandwiches, frozen dinners, ice cream juice, soda and so much more.
The wait time for my order if I walk-​in my prescription takes only 20 – 30 minutes.
I pass the time reading.
This is my one stop shop for medication snacks makeup ambulatory supplies and more.

Made an online order to pick up some photos.
I was given a time my photos would be ready.
I show up:
Me: Excuse me… I’m here to pick up my online order
Clerk: «We…uhhhh… did not finish your order yet»
Me: «Ok that’s fine thins happen. So what time would my order be ready?»
Clerk: «Oh…the machine is broken».
Me: «Ok that’s fine so how long do it usually take for the machine to be fixed».
Clerk: «I don’t know maybe later tonight or tomorrow night».
I leave disappointed but not pissed… things happen.
I drive all the way home and there’s a call.
Guy on phone: «Quinlan F. your order is ready for pick up»
Me: «MUTHAFU (K@!!!»

The Pet Shopp Dog Treats are awesome! Our dogs love the Mixed Grill, Duck Jerky and the Sweet Potato wrapped with chicken. I’m so glad to find treats that they like every time!
Also the house brand «Nice» sharp cheddar cheese is addicting. Delicious!
The people are so nice — I love the beauty counter staff. They take the time to help you pick what’s best for you. They know the new products too — i love the products they’ve recommended.

I live by the Walgreens on willow and pacific but I will drive the extra mile to go to this one just because the customer service is beyond great! They always make sure you walk out satisfied and the managers are amazing. :-) I brag about how this is one of the best Walgreens in long beach. They shoukd all get raises because I know many others feel the same :)

I usually use the Rx drive through. VERY convenient and easy to use and the staff is always nice, however people need to drop off their Rx and move out the way as they wait for a fill so that people like me can get in n out. I drop off and swing back later on to give the staff ample time to fill my Rx and not feel rushed.
As for the Redbox reviewers on Walgreens Unilocal page. Please hold red box accountable for the ghetto mess their customers cause you vs Walgreens. Bixby is a very nive neighborhood but unfortunately we get non homeowners of Bixbyknolls who use the redbox bcus our redbox always has stocked machines.
You can create a Redbox Unilocal page for that redbox if ur unhappy with their service. Just an FYI

Like others have mentioned, best Walgreens I’ve ever been to…“why?” you may ask? For one simple reason, best customer service ever, the little Asian lady is the nicest Walgreens associate I have ever dealt with. Very helpful and nice, makes you feel welcome unlike most associates I’ve encountered at other Walgreens locations.
It’s also not a ghetto area which is always a plus. I’m glad it’s close to my work.

I come here because this is my favorite spot to rent movies at Redbox. They have two kiosks here and it is never crowded unlike a few of the other locations around Bixby Knolls.

The best walgreens I’ve ever been so far! Located just along the busy street of 36^th & Atlantic. The staffs here are very nice & helpful unlike on the other location!
My favorite location to pick up meds! Parking isn’t a hassle at all! Easy to get in and to get out. People aren’t just crossing the street here and there without following the pedestrian light. Lol.

This Walgreens is probably the best that I have been to… and that’s saying a lot since im a Wagger. No not swagger… a Wagger, one who shops at Walgreens a lot.
Anyway the general store manager (Mr. Chum) is always really nice along with the rest of the managing staff. The CSR (customer service representatives) are also really nice and are always willing to help me out.
