Walgreens

I so love this location. Been coming for years. All the staffs are so so great n helpful. Most of all I so appreciate The pharmacy technicians staffs. They real care and go out to help with my insurance needs… thanks for teaching me with complicate gadgets… You all the BEST !!!

If i could give minus stars, I would…
The pharmacy here is great – well run, informed staff and well organized. In the western union service. however, the opposite is true. If you have to use Western Union to wire funds, don’t do it here.
The series of mishaps was like watching the 3 stooges: conflicting information or no information at all, staff that didn’t even know they had this servicel, a manager who, though earnest, was also really poorly informed.
In the end, they cancelled my wire without confirming it with me and sent me to Safeway to complete the transaction.
Best to stick with what you know then advertise a service that is poorly run, at best.
Really bad job.

I wonder how customers put up with the grumpy old cashier Michelle at this walgreen store. She really knows how to take out her aggression toward the vulnerable defendless customers with special needs. I witnessed that Michelle yelled at wheelchaired customer to say «Shut UP». Michelle is so vulgar and crude. If she is ended fired lots of people would be happy.
Today I went to this certain Diamond Heights Walgreens to use the reincheck for Ethyl Rubbing Alcohol 70% First Aid.
Due to the fact that when I tried to get 6 bottles it was out of stock. Because some one came to buy the several boxes and must took advantage of buy one and the other one for free. When I try to get several bottles with reincheck I had to pay the price of the sales clerk’s mistake. He mistakenly wrote the wrong item on the reincheck sheet. The stupid stubborn manager guy came out to insist to take me as it was written. It was completely a ludicrous suggestion from the manager guy. Be careful with all the reincheck since it work won’t work.

The pharmacy staff is wonderful.
I was trying to get a vaccine shot and my insurance was running us in circles. Jen was on the phone and went above and beyond to help me get the insurance settled. And when Blue Cross decided they weren’t going to cover it, she suggested using AAA for a discount instead. I wound up paying more than expected (through no fault of Walgreens), but walked out of the store happy.
I will now skip my local Walgreens and shop here.

Steve at the pharmacy did an amazing job helping with a range of different meds. Coming from Europe I’m used to «real» pharmacies with highly trained pharmacists — every person working there needs to have advanced degrees in respective fields — and buying medicine in a supermarket is always somewhat disconcerting. So a highly competent service as I received from Steve at Walgreens truly is a positive exception.
(and running a pharmacy set between a Chinese restaurant that was shuttered by the health department for health violations and a major supermarket that was just served a sanitary rating of 62 cannot be easy either)

This location was already on my «nice» list for their fast and friendly pharmacy service, for me and my 4-​legged-​friend. But today I had a nice transaction that pushed them from 4 star territory into 5 star territory, for me.
I went to buy a simple memory card, and one of the employees asks what camera I shoot with. He then proceeds to not only recommend the perfect memory card, which is on sale for an excellent price, but engages me with a bit of photog-​banter. Not only does he know his products, he knows his camera. I always applaud employees that know their stuff.
Thank you, kind sir, and thank you Walgreens Diamond Heights.

They didn’t have a prescription ready when I came in, but fast-​tracked it and I had it less than five minutes later. Exactly what I want in a pharmacy. Otherwise, it’s a standard Walgreens.

Is very strange that how anyone can get attach to a particular Pharmacist. My connection with Steve was instantly HE IS A GREAT PROFESSIONAL, smart, direct and when He explains about the medicines it makes it easy to understand every time I go and see Him (which is out of my way– I Don’t mind) I feel like as soon as I see Him I am cure for any symptoms that I am suffering. He has that strength to make You feel good. In French people have an expression” Je né sais quai
Steve is my Idol and He is cute toooooooo

Have been using this pharmacy for years. Excellent, efficient friendly folks. THEY’RE GREAT !!!

Steven from University of Wisconsin is the most patient and gracious pharmacist ever. The Pharm Techs are fabulous and very proficient with the computer systems. They’ve always been nothing but PROFESSIONAL, quick and responsive. I would never go elsewhere.

Oh Walgreen’s pharmacy how I miss you. I apologize for taking you for granted all of these years. I was young, I wouldn’t have known a good thing if it had karate chopped me across the face. You knew what I needed, when I needed it.
When Blue Cross switched their preferred pharmacies, I was thrust into an abusive relationship. I now live in a world of lost prescriptions, long lines and incompetent pharmacists.
The days of 3 minute transactions to get a prescription filled are over, yet I long for their return. Walgreen’s, I will forever regret taking you for granted.

Ok place to go for prescriptions and other over the counter drugs if you live in the neighborhood. If you are a bargain hunter you know there are better and cheaper options out there, but if you are like me and live (or used to live) in walking distance its a handy place to have and frequent. The staff is very pleasant and the store is new and clean

I had a great experience at this pharmacy. Steve the head pharmacist and christina the other pharmacist were very helpful in explain everything I needed to do. Their whole staff are very friendly and keep me updated on the special promotions and discounts I can recieve like the walgreens card for just 20 dollars a year that can save me on selected medications and walgreens products. Best experience of my life.

I didn’t think it was possible to get any better but
the Diamond Hts Walgreen’s is better than ever!
The entire staff are consistently interested in providing excellent friendly customer service and always neat and clean. I can see why it’s ‘the pharmacy America trusts’.
It’s practically an in-​store health clinic as far as providing the many vaccines that the public needs. They make it easy and painfree to get most of the vaccinations available today and in just a few brief moments.
The Diamond Hts Walgreen’s manager Steve provides kind strong customer service and seems to be highly motivated at all times.
The store is extremely organized and the staff well-​trained with fast POS for fast customer/​pharmacy convenience.

I feel like I’m in an abusive relationship with this pharmacy. They’re constantly making mistakes with my prescriptions, and I keep coming back for more because they’re close by and they take my insurance.
Here’s what I’ve learned: when you drop off the prescription, *always* tell them you plan to wait for it, even if you don’t intend to come back until days later. Otherwise, it will NOT be ready when you want it… they’ll look you up on the computer and say «it’s almost ready» regardless of when you come back.
Also, if your doctor prescribed a brand-​name drug and checked «do not subsitute,» they might substitute generic anyway… so make sure you check before leaving the store.
The rest of the store is fine… the staff are very nice and they make an effort to keep the checkout line short.

The pharmacy sux. Ever since Sean left it’s been a down hill battle – stopped getting drugs there.
Michelle and Margaret are great – it takes Margaret a little time to warm up to you – but she’s a sweetheart.
I love the friendly staff — the manager ran out to my car when he found what I was looking for and was nice enough to bring my credit card back and run my transaction because I was on crutches and not able to walk back to the store.
The staff is always up on the sales and willing to point out a bargain. Returns are a breeze as well.
Photo staff is always always helpful.

It’s a rare day that I enter a Walgreens, but having said that I went in here today. It’s not your average Walgreens, but only a half step above. When I checked out I noticed the gal’s name tag said «grandma» in front of her name which put a smile on my face. I’m glad someone let that fly. Also, wasn’t too busy.

Everything in the store is superb I can find usually what I need and get out quick unlike the neighboring Safeway. Its right across the street,
But today I went to the pharmacy for some Claritin-​D I stood in line for like 10 minutes. There was this Asian girl helping out this lady. «do you need your perscrption today?» the woman replies «oh no i don’t need it till next month» great now can someone help me … the answer is NO. I had to stand there for like 10 minutes just for a box of clarititn I live right across the street and forgot about the FDA regulation. The girlo tells me I have to come back because I don’t have my ID. I wouldn’t usually have a problem but no one in that pharmacy came to help me when they saw that the girl was taking long. Maybe you should have people with customer service expertise behind that counter I seen none

I’ve been nursing a cold for the last 3 days now. I think I’m on the tail end of it.
Shoot.
I ran out of tissue. The one that has lotion in it so my poor nose is not rubbed raw.
I normally go to Tarjay for my toiletries and such items, but the nearest one is in Daly City!
So, I ended up here. I’m glad that the prices are not too jacked up. Especially if I’m just buying tissue paper. I found my kleenex with lotion, 192, two-​ply tissue in a box for $ 1.59 plus tax.
I’m paying at the cashier. I was just given the «once-​over» stare. No hi or hello even. Just a forced «thanks for choosing Walgreens»
Margaret C. was the cashier’s name. Heck, is that even her real name tag? her mood surely matched the weather outside: «GLOOMY»
Next time, I’m getting my tissue at Safeway next door.

So, there is a long story that surrounds my running into random Walgreens in the city due to a lone green bowl that sits precariously on the edge of my work desk. This green bowl, marked with a small black «zak!» label, is a beacon to almost every soul that passes by this desk. It is, my dear friends, an ulterior objective to meet/​greet anyone who passes by and cannot resist the seduction of colorful foil wrapped secrets ready to burst forth their chocolate intentions.
A candy dish.
And thanks to this local Walgreens (situated right next to the Safeway up in Diamond Heights) I am able to keep this wonderful dish of sweet pheromones to candy addicts full and brimming with conditional consequences. Once you take one, you’ll be back. A Milky Way one day will lead to a Crunch egg the next (Easter, people, Easter) and perhaps I’ll add to your already choco-​caffeinated senses and mix in some Rolos or even the elusive Snickers from time to time.
I received some Ghiradhelli Mint Chocolate squares from a vendor and placed them in the bowl… within a span of two hours, they had vanished, but not without leaving a human mark with the face.
This Walgreens gets their share of oddballs and people who stick out like a sore thumb, but I feel totally casual walking in for my usual bags of crafty candy and have to say, the clerk here is always so pleasantly kind and communicative. I’m raising the star level another just for her.
