Walgreens

Usually can find more items at this location. Been to multiple Walgreens and this location seems to be well stocked compared to the others.

Typical Walgreen’s, nothing special. Had what I needed, and check-​out was friendly and speedy.

The Pharmacist «Dong» informed me at 1:30 am to come back in an hour??? no one is in there, Dong, had planned on his break, so like had 20 minutes to fill it but wouldn’t,
I got pissed cause is the worst pharmacy i have ever been in… Im there to fill painmeds and Dong couldn’t be bothered… WORST STORE EVER, AND Dong is an idiot

For such a busy location, the employees are always very friendly and helpful. I have been shopping here for a long time, and really like the weekly specials they keep right by the door. The pharmacy staff is always helpful and they often go above and beyond.

Pharmacy staff know me by first name, which is impressive being that I come in once a month. Staff keeps store clean and chain has nice weekly promos, good phone app. Patronage number can be one’s phone number, which is very convenient. Good consistent parking. Good store location..

This Walgreens is open 24 hours. Needed bottle water, salt, and pepper at midnight. Got them here. Cashier was friendly middle of the night. Mission completed and drove off.

I was greeted immediately when I walked through the door by a friendly employee. I found everything I was looking for — and more as is usually the case for me at Walgreens. I sadly had to buy a sympathy card and I couldn’t believe how much of a selection they had. I also found super cute nail polish on sale for $ 1 (and not the NYC brand stuff). Thanks Walgreens!

If I could give 0 stars I would. This is the absolute WORST Walgreens I have ever been to. The pharmacy staff is rude and do not help you in anyway. I go here pretty frequently and every time they are too focused on fraternizing then helping customers. Also they did not have the prescription I needed and said I needed to drive all the way to Encinitas or Chula Vista to fill it instead of fixing the problem. If I’m not mistaken, people go to PHARMACIES To get prescriptions filled so I found it baffling that they did not have a pretty common prescription. I will NOT be coming here again!

You know how one bad experience can cause you to just drop someone or something. This morning I had that at this Walgreen’s. I left the ER with acute bronchitis at 1:35 am, tired and just wanting to get my meds. I called ahead to ask if the pharmacy was open and the Pharmacist/​tech answered the phone and said yes. I said ok great I am on my way. I arrive about 12 minutes later to find the Pharmacy closed with a sign that says «Pharmacy closed for lunch from 2:15 — 2:45». You would have thought that he would mention that on the phone, especially since he was closing WELL before 2:15. He grabs my prescriptions from me and goes in the back to key it in then he comes back out abruptly and says what sounded like «Ms. King»… please note my last name is not King nor was the name on the prescription. «UM I CAN FILL THIS BUT YOU HAVE LIKE A CRAZY DEDUCTIBLE»… I was like no, I don’t. I have been filling prescriptions like CRAZY between allergies and normal meds. So, he goes back and comes out and says «have you been picking up the birth control»… I give a «WTF face» because I have never had an active birth control prescription. I tell him that and ask if he has the right person. He goes back behind the door and comes out asking me if my birthday is wrong. I have been getting prescriptions filled with Walgreens ALL OVER THE COUNTRY since 2000 and NO one has ever had a problem looking me up in the system. I am assuming he was in a hurry to head on his hour long break. He then folds my prescription paper in half (which annoyed the shit out of me) and says «Um, I have to go on break. I thought I could do this quickly but I have to go on break. I am legally required. And this is taking a long time.“I wanted to say «because you are Effing fatfingering my prescription!!!». He asks if I still want him to put the order in and I say «No, I will go somewhere else in the morning as I am not waiting an hour when I clearly called ahead.»
I have dealt with slow waits with pharmacy before and prescription times that should be ten minutes turn into 30 and yea, I am super over it. I just stuck with them out of convenience because they were once more locations than CVS and Rite Aid. Starting tomorrow, I will be transferring every prescription I have to CVS pharmacy. Done with your crappy service Walgreens. JUST DONE!
Also, let me note that I walked in wearing with one of those thin bags/​that you can wear as a backpack or over your shoulder and the cashier yells «Ma’am you need to leave your bag up here!» Another cashier walks up and says, «she’s good!» I look at him and say, «this is my purse and I am not leaving it up there. Eff outta here.» He laughs and shakes his head at the other guy and says again, «Nah man she’s good!» Thank God for him because I was not having it.

If I could give this location negative stars, I would! I will also be sending a letter to their corporate offices to complain. With CVS just across the street, and Target a few blocks away, there is no excuse for giving this store your business. Generally speaking, they have the worst prices and the worst customer service of any Walgreens I have ever been to. Specifically today… I bought a Walgreens brand «cetaphil» facial cleaner. Not only was it awful to use, but I needed 3x as much product… making it more expensive to use. Plus my face broke out. I returned it, but since I did not have a receipt, and paid cash, and was not a club member, I had to wait for a manager to authorize the exchange. 15 minutes! On the way home, the new container leaked all over the bag. I turned around and went back immediately. I’m thinking– of all the bad luck + extra $$$ to buy the product I’m familiar with! This time, because the same manager (assisted by a clerk who told me «you need to listen» X3 times (!), refused to give me a refund. Store credit only, because I threw the bag and receipt away when I tried to wash off the cracked and leaking container at home. Store credit?! I was just there and the manager authorized the refund first, before the exchange! It’s like giving them my money because I won’t shop there again! I then went to Target and bought the same exact product for $ 4 less!
Ohh, and when I was waiting for assistance the first time, a lady brought in a disposable camera for processing and they told her 7 – 10 days to get her photos! Every experience at this store brings more frustration and dissatisfaction. If you’re even thinking of shopping here, think again… CVS, Target and Pt Loma Drug are all in the neighborhood plus a brand new CVS plus RiteAid nearby in Ocean Beach!

Could the pharmacy please get it together? It may be our doctor making the mistake, but regardless, the customer service here is horrible.
How about a smile?

I went to this Walgreens practically daily while staying at the Days Inn & Suites next door. My vacation the last week of March and being able rack up points on my Walgreens card was fantastic! My experience was nice every single time. I love the low prices, clean store, and the many different brands to choose from. Good customer service as well. Thanks!

Literally on hold for 42 minutes and no picked up. Called from another phone and was on hold for 21 minutes before I gave up and just drove to the pharmacy. Got to the pharm, had to wait an additional 45 minutes and their excuse was that they were so busy. Meanwhile, the pharmacist was just sitting down doing nothing.

What is the point of having a drive thru pharmacy if you have to wait 15 minutes for a pharmacist? Ridiculous!

Typical Walgreen’s. It was good. I had a little trouble finding what I was looking for. Even though several employees saw me, no one asked if I needed help. I know I could have initiated a request for help, but just decided to browse around and if they asked me, I would respond. Had to wait for a while at the checkout. Other than that, A-​ok.

When I got home I realized I was short 17 pills on a 40 pill order. I called and told me for some reason they split my 17 pills and had it waiting for me on the counter, if I wanted to come back in and get them. Very convenient if you ask me.
Definitely a sketchy situation which shouldn’t have happened since it is protocol to triple count any opiate order.

Typical Walgreens. If there’s anything here worth noting it’s that this Walgreens has perhaps the best location of all the businesses in this highly congested intersection in Loma Portal. Because it’s sitting right on the corner, drivers are able to quickly enter and exit the parking lot off Rosecrans. It’s a wonderful, easy, time-​saving option.
We frequent this Walgreens because of the photo options. It is so cheap and easy to order and print decent photos from a phone so we rarely use our printer anymore. It’s just too easy. We’ve yet to have an issues with this store. 4 stars. Definitely a fan.

Pros:
Open 24 hours
Drive-​through pharmacy.
Cons:
Always lines at pharmacy and drive-​in pharmacy.
Sometimes feels kind of sketchy.
Overall, it’s still the pharmacy I’m most likely to go to, and decent for your regular drug store needs.

Walgreens has always been the go to place for souvenirs but this branch in particular has the best selection especially for shot glasses. Theyre all good quality and inexpensive too. $ 1.99 for an engraved shotglass whereas souvenir shops sell lower quality ones for double.
Now I know exactly where to take my out of town buddies souvenir shopping.

Lots of great stuff in the cosmetics arena! Truly amazing to find a whole full aisle full of lipsticks, mascaras, nail polishes and so on. Totally awesome and a great prices. In my area you don’t find Walgreens (CVS is the queen), but I was around Point Loma and looking for something very specific and was recommended to visit this Walgreens. They did not have what I needed, but the experience browsing the clean, spacious aisles and in particular the beauty section totally hooked me up!
