Walgreens

overpriced, not a lot of sales, and most importantly they don’t carry a wide variety of things.

For me service here is always good and staffs are friendly. Even sometimes I have to waiting too long for their service but I understand that they trying to do their best for everyone .
It’s close to my house and 24 hours open, i love them!

This is the most convenient location for me to pick up medicine but it is simply not worth it for me to bother using them anymore due to their routine incompetence creating incredible and unnecessary delays.

You have to realize that its really hard to remember that people who work at a 24 hour store have one of the roughest jobs in the world.
I actually think the Millbrae Walgreens peoples deserve a special shout out for seeving me for over 14+ years now.
1. Some of the employees actually know my name.
2. They know that I usually come in to buy my two rockstars/​monsters.
These two things are actually pretty cool because they must see hundreds of people a day. I just have to say bravo.
Also to echo the other reviews:
1. Great parking.
2. Very large selection.
3. Lots of last minute gifts/​seasonal stuff.

I’m beginning to wonder if the people here are intentionally trying to mes with us. My husband and I buy two cartoons of Camel Wides a week (don’t judge-​we like our smokes!) Every single time we go in there, they’ve stocked all of the cartons. We ask them to not do this with two cartons so we won’t have to pay for a bag. They continue to stock them. And charge us the bag fee. Talk about crap service. Either keep at least one carton whole, or waive the bag fee. We’ve been loyal customers for years. They should be able to work with us on some level!

One of the things I enjoy doing when I have time is to browse around a drug store for new and useful items. Sales don’t hurt either. This Walgreens makes the shopping experience painful. One cashier in this store has been helpful and courteous out of the ten or eleven times I have gone in there. The rest do not make eye contact, are extremely slow, yet impatient with the customers… how does that even happen?
Recently I walked down an aisle and around the corner at the other end came an employee with a full cart of items at about 100 miles an hour. He did not see me, and there was not enough room for both of us. Luckily I moved out of the way into the main aisle at the end, because if I hadn’t, I would have been bowled over.
The people on the street and the other customers are friendlier and more willing to help. The entire staff, minus that one nice lady should take some kind of customer service seminar. One bad day or bad mood is fine. I get it. Consistently over time though, there is something wrong. Too bad too because I like the location of this store.

Well i have stopped here few times before but they were simple purchases so nothing to it. However, I clipped some coupons online on their walgreens website and they did not see it at register. I showed them the card and coupon on my phone through the app yet they still didn’t understand me. They wanted a paper coupon. I understand if there is a system glitch or something but at least know what is on your own website instead of calling your customer a liar. They did nothing to look into the matter except say we need a paper coupon from sunday paper… hello Walgreens Website lets you clip coupons in order to go paperless!!! Should know your own sales and website features!!!

Came in for their 99¢ tissue deal. Sniffle. Sniffle. I’m catching a cold. Thankfully this walgreens is small, clean, and easy to maneuver around. The staff rang me up quickly, and asked me if I needed a bag for 10¢, which I appreciate the price warning.
«No thanks,» I said, yanking a handful of tissues from the box like I was pulling stuffing from a turkey.

Yup, three stars makes sense. It’s nice and big, there’s lots of parking, tons of selection, average prices, average cleanliness, average customer service.
You could find a better drugstore, or just cross the street to Safeway honestly, but this place will meet all of your basic needs in a pinch, quite nicely.

Photo Department warning: inept staff! Last week, I went to pick up a photo that was confirmed via email processed, printed, completed. Spent 15 minutes with Vicente while he went around the very small area looking for an 8×10. Eventually got him to tell me it wasn’t there. Said he’ll print out another photo but it will take 20 minutes. Came back after shopping at TJ’s. Vicente spent another 15 minutes looking for my photo. Got the assistant manager Mike. Mike said it would take another 20 minutes (seriously, the printer takes that long for a single photo?). I said thanks, but I’ll come back. Came back a week later. Still no photo. Luckily, Vicente wasn’t there so I didn’t waste 30 minutes to be told the photo wasn’t there. (Dunno this guy’s name… he looked new.) Usually, I see Grace here and she’s pretty slow too but at least I always got my photos from her.
The rest of the departments (pharmacy, make-​up, check-​out) have been pretty average. They are the reason I brought it up to 2 stars.

The pharmacy staff at this location is very friendly and helpful. They work hard to make sure that everything goes through okay with my less-​than-​delightful Rx insurance plans which changes slightly each year. The whole store and staff is great, except for this one older man who works the front counter in the earlier-​mid evening… he never smiles, or even talks to you or will even tell you your total. I say «thank you have a good night» and he says nothing. Get rid of him. Otherwise, great store!

This review is purely for the Walgreens Pharmacy in Millbrae at this location. I have always had a good experience here. The Pharmacist and staff have always given me a great experience. Pharmacist has always been able to answer my questions and have been able to give me great recommendations when needed help.

It’s a Walgreens, that’s about it about this place. I have to say it is a pretty nice now, it is fairly large especially compared to (and especially when I’m accustomed to) the ones in San Francisco. It’s a good place to walk around especially after a fulfilling meal at a nearby Millbrae restaurant. I think it’s open 24 hours, so there’s a convenience there for those who are nearby.
As commented by one reviewer, the staff is not necessarily friendly. In particularly I’m referring to the Asian lady that was at the register by the front door this past Saturday afternoon. She did not seem friendly at all, no smile or anything. At least I heard her say «thank you» to some customers.

Wow, this is the most ghetto Walgreens on the upper peninsula…
I think it’s mainly due to the ghetto clientele, right down to the mom who leaves her toddler playing on the floor in the candy aisle by itself while she’s off looking for wart medication…

Redbox… Check.
Pharmacy… Check.
Friendly staff… Not so much. I can’t remember the last time I saw someone smile or look happy (and I’ve been coming to this location for years). They always look like they are either half asleep or irritated.
Bathrooms… It looks like something you’d see in Alcatraz. It’s actually a bit scary going in there by yourself. Haha. Please upgrade it!
Entrances… There’s two. One facing broadway and one facing the police station. The broadway entrance is open 24/​7, but the other closes at 10pm.
Target is definitely cheaper than any Walgreens, but when you need something in the last minute… this place will do. Often they have sales and special offers that are even better than Safeway (which is across the street). It’s pretty awesome when you can save yourself a buck or two.

Used to like this location, but it’s looking kind of tired and run down lately.
BUT … it’s still one of the larger locations well stocked with items AND they’re open ²⁴⁄₇ (just not their pharmacy)

Worst Walgreen’s I have visited so far.
Only been here a few times but every time the que at the till has been long and ridiculously slow, not helped by the fact that there is only one person on the till. My visit today I ended up putting my item’s back and going elsewhere.
Not likely to go back

If you are sick and need some quick medication for relief this is the place to go! There is a large selection of medicines to take care of a common cold to flu.
I had to come here to pick up some medicines so I would at least feel a bit better than crap. There are a great selection of name brand and also Walgreens house brand medicine for less.
–parking
Parking is available outside all the time.

When I was young I had these vivid memories of my mother. Men always looked-​no gawked at my mother and tried to woo and buy her affection and mine (since I was the key to a mother’s heart) for years and years and years. The same with children I went to school with-​they would stare at her and ask if she was the older sister-​not my mother.
Years would pass by and still my mother would unknowingly drawn in men like a siren at the grocery store or at the laundromat. She was a domestic kind of siren I guess. I studied her tactics, tried to understand her cosmetics and skin creams to create the illusion that drew the opposite sex in. Mom found me knee deep in heavy foundation and powder one day and after a heavy butt whooping, sat me down and taught me the basics.
And so I learned the basics and applied that knowledge to looking like a teenager forever. Sunscreen and moisturizer. I hated that stuff as a kid and would frolic in the sun like one of David Sedaris’s sisters basking as a Greek God on the beach. I practically looked Filipino at one point and my mother looked like my lovely Korean nanny with my wild black hair and dark olive skin. God, I’ll never be able to fake bake that color. But at least I’ll look young forever thanks to Mom’s secret Neutrogena SPF 50.
Which brings me to Walgreens. With my current batch of Roc moisturizer depleted, I made a quick run to the local Walgreens. I like leaving a lot of things up to fate and tip my hand in favor of whatever has a huge sign that says, «pick me pick me pick me» and that’s exactly what was staring at me from the Neutrogena sunblock aisle.
In comes SPF 75. OMG my pale skin rejoices within! And it’s a BOGO ½ sale which pleases my cheap little heart also! Ha ha ha! Every time I slather on the white stuff that protects me from the sun, I remember how awesome mom looks now and keep slathering it on.
Walgreens is not only good for the awesome little finds like a BOGO here and there, but it’s great for the collection of Harry & David’s Moose Munch, Goodies hairbands, Arizona teas, and Annie Chun’s bowls! I shop here so often I should have bought stock when I cared…

this review is solely based on the Pharmacy section of this store.
i was in line during after work hours to pick up a prescription. while waiting patiently in line for 5 mins, it finally got to the point where i was next in line. as anxious as i was to be called next, some lady with a cart full of stuff walks up to the counter. the pharmacist said ««sir, please wait». i was like WTF!!!
she took forever taking care of that lady. i thought she would just give her the prescription and ask her to wait in another line to check out her other stuff in her cart. but instead, she let the lady cash out on all the merchandise in the cart. that wasn’t just it, the lady split her purchase in 3. one for prescription (but couldn’t afford all her medication, so they split the original refill), then one for parts of her cart (wrote a check), then another purchase for couple vitamin stuff.
this took another 15 mins. if i were the pharmacist, i would be smart and give her the prescription, then ask her to pay for the rest @ a normal cashier, since the line was getting long. to bad the person apparently didn’t have the brains to do that.
