Walgreens

Terrbile pharmacy. Terrible pharmacists.

The staff here is really friendly! I have a love hate relationship with the cosmetics aisle. I love the fact that there are a ton of sales… I hate the fact that I’m constantly perusing looking for a color I don’t have. Zero self control.
They are constantly working on filling products and are always more than happy to help you look for whatever random item you’re running in to purchase. While the lines can form quickly the staff is always communicating with each other to make sure customers get out of there as fast as possible.

awesome staff, small selections of items, staffs knows how to make you save $$$ thro coupons.

Surprisingly good. I went to buy something which I don’t know was on sale and had coupon, too. The Asian lady give me discount based on the coupon value and I got very very cheap stuff in the end. Again, it is beyond my expectation, because she does not have to apply that coupon for me anyways.

The older Caucasian lady with grey hair is super rude, I honestly don’t understand how any company would even consider hiring her. I was literally double charged and she refused to double check the receipt repeating she’s always «right» because she worked here for nearly 10yrs. Had to go speak to a different employee to fix everything. Walgreens need to reconsider hiring that lady

not sure why this place gets so much hate. I tried to drop off a prescription they didn’t have in stock and the sweet pharmacist called all the nearby walgreens for a stock check because they didn’t have enough. So nice of her.

Nice employees, compact small store easy to navigate, but the smallness means that they don’t carry a lot of HEALTHY foods. 20 kinds office cream, but no frozen yogurt. Pharmacy staff very personable but there seems to be a mistake in my order every 2 months or so. It’s usually their computer system so it may be the same at every Walgreens. It’s convenient but I’m probably going to change.

Its amazing! I have been back about three times since last review and nothing has changed in the photo dept. My last visit, I ordered a set of about a dozen random prints using the Walgreens site.
I arrive to pick up my order and i’m given an envelope that is over an inch thick. Then i’m told its over $ 20 something dollars. I just push it back across the counter and tell the clerk it was wrong. I only ordered twelve pictures.
The clerk sarcastically opens the envelope and pulls out the pictures. The pictures were of people celebrating a Jewish holiday or something.
«These aren’t your pictures»
«Uh…no…that is not my family. Can you not tell? And I didn’t order 200 pictures!»
«But your name is on the envelope»
«Really? Are you for real?»
I still come here not because its convenient but because I look forward to seeing what kind of mistake they are going to make.
Check it out. Order some pics online and maybe they will make a lame mistake worthy of Unilocal’ing.

Small store with small aisles, felt very confined in some aisles.
I came looking just to look around for things that I might need. I went into the Hallmark cards and saw some humor cards that I did not see at other Walgreens which I love (but I don’t love the inconsistency between stores on availability and variety of things, ie greeting cards). I wandered for a little bit more and thought I’d look for mustard, but since I did not need it urgently, I didn’t bother asking anyone for help since I may not have bought it. Sadly, I did not find the mustard, but this is not the last time I will come to this Walgreens. Many other chances to find that frisky yellow condiment. The line was quite long too so maybe that factored in to me not purchasing anything.

Basic Walgreens. Had to stop in for a heating pad but couldn’t find them, so I asked the clerk. He very rudely told me that they were on the back wall by simply saying, «Back wall.» Well, no wonder I didn’t see them! I’m 5’0, and they were on the top shelf, which almost touches the ceiling.
Rude customer service, but they had what I needed.

This is a solid Walgreens. It’s on the smaller scale, which is good when I need something quick and don’t have the time to gallivant down 30 aisles for one tiny thing. The cutest old lady works here.
The pharmacists are friendly for the most part – one of them was nice enough to point me towards a less expensive generic option of my prescription without even being prompted to.
Docking 1 star because: let’s be real. It’s just Walgreens. Docking another because their hours can be unreliable – sometimes they are still closed after their supposed opening time, and vice versa. But it’s the only one within walking distance from my place, and for that, I have to give them some credit.

This is probably the smallest location I’ve ever been too, but I can’t just say no to this place. Once upon a time I used to live right around the corner of this location and I would come here very frequently. The girls that work here are very friendly and this location is always clean.
Day in day out you’ll find this location packed with the locations and high school students galore in need of their sugar high, while their parents are across the street at Ambrosia getting their cup of coffee. Oh the memories at this location, I like it and sometimes I’ll go out of my way just to visit this location and grab an It’z-it. =)

This is the hidden Walgreens. No one that doesn’t know the area will ever find this one. This is in the middle of 2 busy streets but is a very small Walgreens which has usually 1 person at the counter to help.

So I’ve been going to this location for over 10 years, even if another location is technically closer, because I was also picking up prescriptions for my boyfriend’s mother. The rest of the store is nice and convenient, but the pharmacy gets on one’s nerves.
I can understand when these pharmacists think they’re being personable and chummy, injecting conversation with personal bits about what they THINK they know about your family and health, but REALLY: I don’t want to talk about my personal shit with them, especially since you got the facts wrong. And how embarrassing for you would it be if I corrected you? Exactly.
Yesterday, as always, I plunked some change in the meter with enough time to pick up a few items and prescriptions. After some more of this inane chatter about my family ties (I don’t even SEE that boyfriend anymore, that’s how out-​of-​touch these folks are), the pharmacist over-​rings me and before I even leave the counter, she takes a break. I mean, she stays within earshot, but can’t even make an appearance to show the manager what the mistake was. So as other employees + half-​ass manager comes to fumble over the cash register, I’m joking that this attempt to save me $ 15.99 is going to end up costing me a $ 55 parking ticket. When they FINALLY corrected the mistake, I rushed out of the store just in time to see one of DPT’s finest, printing out my ticket. NICE.
The store manager is quick to say there’s no way he can say how much money I put in the meter or even IF I put money in the meter, blah blah blah. LOOK MOTHERFUCKER: Here’s the deal. I lost money because your punk ass employee’s ineptitude caused me to overrun my time on the meter. Should I have loaded up the meter with an HOUR’s worth of time for a visit to your store? Is that what you’re telling me? So this is what’s going to happen. After I’m done chewing out your sorry ass pharmacy, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

I am rating the pharmacy section of this walgreens specifically.
They give terrible service. I went to pick up a prescription initially at another location across from the clinic where i got my prescription but since my state card was just renewed, they told me at that location i had to wait a couple of hours for it to be renewed. I left and waited a couple days and went to this location since it is nearer to where i live. They gave me grief about it because i had arranged something with the other store. The other store even said it was okay for me to go to another walgreens for the prescription. The customer service was already not so good.
They said my card still wasnt going through and that it wasnt renewed. I already know for a fact that is should be working since i asked the doctors, receptionists at the clinic about it.
So i had to call the clinic up and the lady over the phone was looking at the computer and said everything was fine on my file and it should be working unless they were doing something wrong when entering my info in.
I waited in line and went back up. It still didnt work. She told me to call again so they could call the store to discuss. I should also say that before i called myself, she tried her weak attempt at reaching someone on that line. This time around i was trying to explain to her how to get someone to speak with her on the phone rather than the machine but she would not listen to me and just ignored me and said, no one is picking up… sorry youre out of luck. So she had me call again to ask if they could call the store to discuss the issue. It was beginning to be rude and frustrating.
I called them again right after and guess what?! Someone was there to pick up and talk to me. I told them the issue and they said they cant call the store. Some policy or something. I go up to the window again and this time there is a long line. I tell her what they said and volunteered my phone for her to talk to. She says she cant use my phone. Also a policy thing. At this point, i have her yelling at me to tell her the phone number so she can call again and i have the person on the phone asking for a manager to speak with. I basically broke down and cried in front of tons of people.
Although i realize that partially it was things that was outside of walgreens pharmacy’s control but still the fault of whatever went wrong with their computer system. They could have dealt with it with more care and efficiency. Rather than half-@ssing their attempt to help solve the problem and not listen and yell at me, they should have been more polite to say the least. I was there for several hours waiting for them to figure out what was wrong with their computers and still did not get my prescription i needed to have.
I am talking about this one specific woman though, so i am not generalizing the whole staff.
The manager was actually nice when i talked with her a week later about receiving the wrong pills which is another set of problems that had to do with the doc that wrote me the prescription.

My review is for the store only, have not used the pharmacy at this location. First off this is a small store. That being said they have always had what i need, typically I’ve run in for toiletries and such when I’m on the block. The staff has always been friendly. Will continue to pop in when in the area.

Extremely poor pharmacy management. No knowledge of even the basic medications and too many mistakes in filling prescriptions.

Love the location, but variety not so much. Semi-​easy parking, but watch out cause the two-​way street is too narrow for a two-​way street.

Now that I am gainfully employed again I can spend money!
Actually I should amend that statement to say that AFTER my first paycheck comes in I can spend money!
So I’m still living super frugal right now. Enter Walgreen’s for things like hair bands, wedding cards, bottled water and shampoo. This particular Walgreen’s is one of the nicer ones with clean aisles, no crowds and pleasant service. It’s also right near where I now work so it’s super convenient too.
Loss of one star just for being a Walgreen’s and a corporation in general but otherwise it’s not half bad for your cheap needs.

In a neighborhood that seems to detest the big chains there sits this Walgreens and I haven’t quite figured out why it’s here instead of some mom & pop shop selling Snickers for $ 1.25.
Go figure
My only guess is the sign above the entrance that says something about serving the community since 1932. I really don’t know if it means this particular Walgreens or just Walgreens in general.
Anyways…
This is the place I got whenever I need Altoids to fight some hot breath while needing to pull some cash for lunch at the Vietnamese Sandwich shop next door.
The place is clean, the service is timely and the staff doesn’t act like a bunch of robotic monkeys. It works for me and I’m a regular who still hasn’t won the $ 3000.
