Walgreens

I was notified that my prescription was ready, but before I could pick it up, I recieved another notice that it was out of stock, then again a notice it was ready. I went dpwn to pick it up and low and behold I was greeted by the «I don’t care, it’s not my problem» older lady. She was agressive from word one and told me that I could not have my prescription (eye drops) because the pharmacist was not there and I would just have to wait…
I have dealt with stores around the World in my life and the attatude at this one is one of the worst I have come across. Does the Manager and employees not realize that the customers who spend their mony there are the ones who actually pay their wages. It is the customers spending that is the money that the employees recieve each payday.
Walgreens needs to change some employees and even the Manager if he can not theach his employees how to treat the customers.
I am changing pharmacys. I have been talked down to and insulted enough.

Wish the service would be consistent. Going inside for medication is a nightmare sometimes with the wait, other times piece of cake… same with the drive thru, sat at the window for 10 minutes today with no acknowledgment, another 10 minutes for someone to come to the window AND the counter was empty after they realized I was there.
Just annoying.

I will NEVER go to this Walgreens again! They had the WORST customer service I have ever had and I was honestly disgusted. The cashier tried to tell me I couldn’t buy something even at full price because it was on sale and there was a limit. There was NO limit, posted or otherwise. I demanded to talk to a manager and they said one was not present. Not one but TWO employees who were on lunch were both in line as well and backed up the rude behavior of the cashier and actually laughed at me! This is NOT how a walgreens employee should act and having worked for the company for over a year in the past I would know. I will be also lodging a complaint with their corporate office. This walgreens is the closest to my house but I will NEVER go there again.

I like this Walgeens-​especially the pharmacy staff! Rani is always ready with a smile and greets me by name! It’s the extra touch of humanity we all like in our day to day errands.
The people who have served me at the cosmetics counter are always very friendly and conversant in their product. I got a great recommendation for a primer I would have never tried before!
The sales are good here too– especially near Christmas time.
The homeless situation is true — lots of people congregate in the parking lot due to the recycling center just on the next lot at the Shell station. I like to bring a few «blessing bags» to give out sometimes. Baggie with water bottle, granola bar, etc.

The store looks sketchy once you arrived to the parking lot. Look both ways, lock your door, have your cell phone in your hands because this place looks like a hotspot to get mugged. The pharmacy tech/​clerk is ghetto and tried to argue over who was at fault. The pharmacy service is super slow, have wrong documentation on their patients. Beware, when trying to request to transfer new pharmacy they withheld your info to other competitors. When confronted they act so confused and say oh, there is an error in your profile. Um, I’ve been getting scripts here for a while, how is that possible??? Answer: Poor customer service!!!

Wow… I thought it was strange. I was thirsty so I stopped in here for a bottled drink. Simple right? Should cost including tax WITH CRV under $ 2 right? Nope. Found out I needed 10 more cents. Weird because the sticker sign said $ 1.69. At least I got a refund after I showed her the price. Werid.

The pharmacy is closed for lunch on weekends from 1 – 2.
Weekends are super busy. One person. So expect to wait. I waited over an hour because the pharmacist kept having to answer the phone and deal with walk-​ups. Nice guy, bad employee scheduling.

First time feeling specifically with the pharmacy to pick up prescription for migraines. Without insurance, $ 400 for 20 pills. Insurance covers a certain amount. The pharmacy tech patiently typed in «19, 18, 17,» all the way down to «9» to find the insurance maximum allowable that is covered. She’d went above and beyond and was so patient as we added multiple non pharmacy items to be rung up.
Awesome customer service!!! I’m truly impressed!

I have a thing for Walgreens… I’m still not sure what it is exactly but I have noticed & accepted that over the years and the fact that I have their app installed on my iPhone sort of confirms it…
Once again… My rookie status bleeds through like a leaky red pen in the pocket of a white shirt, as I went to order a refill using my phones app and thought I had it filled at the one closer to home only to realize over an hour after the fact of driving around & around (GPS on crack was busted that day) trying to figure out where it was that I had sent it to & it ended up being this location over here WAYYYYYYYYYY over on Madison Avenue; miles from my home…
First things first Madison Avenue is a bit of a nightmare to navigate particularly after 4pm. Mental note taken & will not be forgetting that anytime soon…
Here’s the Scoop:
(+) I love Walgreens drive~thru Pharmacy and use it damn near 100% of the time unless its time to pick up my «handed to you only by a pharmacist allergy meds» which require you to be in person in front of a pharmacy person in order to sign for it and show picture id. The reason: Meth abusers who over purchased the active ingredient which opens up bronchial passageways Pseudo Epinephrine’. but for those of us who don’t abuse it but just like breathing easier its a fantastic use AND Walgreens carries their own brand of it aka: Generic for Claritin D (as in decongestant) and Allegra D AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE of the name brands and for me they work interchangeably.
(+) FSA: Flexible Spending Account: AKA: Tax Free money that I sock away each paycheck and get back when I submit my Walgreens receipts for eligible expenses: Allergy medications, antibiotic ointment, band-​aids and the like.
(+) I LOVE their sales… Especially on their Cottonelle brand TP. You can score a 12 pack for $ 5 bucks if you watch the sales and its damn quality tissue… Have you priced this stuff out and about? Its astronomical what TP is going for… Yes, I know its TP and I use a bidet but it is what it is…
(-) This locations is in the ghetto OR at least this store is home to some serious scary looking people either rummaging through the trash can outside OR working on their automobile with the hood popped up as if to be changing their oil. Trash was everywhere. Aka: Poo Poo people… but damn if that doesn’t seem to be a common for most Walgreens… Its a shame really…
Final Grade: B

Good prices especially when combined with Sunday newspaper coupons.

I love Walgreens, BUT the reason I am giving them a 2 star is they are no longer what many of us need.
They have gone from a 24 hour Walgreens to closing at 10:00pm. I don”t know about the rest of you but I work and i am busy many, many times I cannot get there till after 10:00pm. And had always counted on this Walgreens to get my cheaper Berkley Farms no hormoned Milk when I run out, that craving for dark chocolate, of which they have a wonderful selection of, and the cosmetics or emergency 5 hour if I am working an all nighter and have run out.
They just don’t want to pay for help. Closed at 10:00pm means that some people were layed off or hours cut back while the gas prices kill everyone on top of it.
It doesn’t matter if they carry wonderful things if they are not open when you need then. so what makes them any different than any other store now? They aren’t.
I say 2 thumbs down to your store for making such a poor decision!
If they loose a ton for doing this! It would serve them right!

It’s an odd occurrence that I would be compelled to write a review for a chain convenience store, but the Pharmacy staff at this location are some of the most happy, friendly, helpful people I have ever seen. Even when the line is backed up 5 – 10 deep, they keep plugging away and don’t get short with any of their customers (at least not on this day while I was there). Every customer received the time and attentiveness that each of us demands. I think every Pharmacy front desk is understaffed, as every pharmacy i’ve ever been to has had a line, but with my iPhone I hardly noticed the 20 minute wait to be seen. Definitely worth dropping your prescriptions off here if you live near the area. The rest of store is standard and the clientele from the area is pretty gruff so I wouldn’t linger here too long.
