Walgreens

It’s nice to have an Walgreen’s close to home for emergencies, but this place does not have a lot of options and the prices are way more expensive than the internet. Especially the cosmetics department.
The pharmacy is actually quite good and convenient.
Be on the lookout for good deals. Make sure to download the Walgreen’s app to clip coupons to your Walgreen’s Rewards Card. This will definitely save you some money.

This Walgreen’s staff is awful. I recommend going to any of the other hundred Walgreen’s in SF

Almost every time I go to this store to pick up a prescription, it ends up being a much longer than expected visit (last time was hoping to run in and pick up a prescription, but ended up spending 20 mins at the counter). However, the straw that broke the camel’s back for me was the manager of this store refusing to let my 7 year old son — who had to go urgently — permission to use their bathroom. First he told me that they didn’t have any bathrooms in the store. When I told him that the pharmacy manager told me I could use the bathroom if I showed the receipt at the front check-​out, he told me something along the lines of that they can’t people from the street use the bathroom. I showed him my receipt and have been a Walgreens customer for at least 30 years, but will be taking my business to CVS from now on.

As far as drug stores go, I generally like Walgreens, but this location is rather odd. For one thing, they have limited hours, 8 am-​10 PM. This seems late to open, I couldn’t even squeeze in a quick trip before work if I needed to. I thought most Walgreens were going toward 24 hours, which makes sense, since convenience is the only appeal of this sort of establishment.
I stopped by to pick up a pretty basic Revlon product that I’ve been using for several months, the photo ready skin lights, (which I highly recommend for contouring and highlighting!). I’ve gotten the product at Walgreens several times, but this location didn’t seem to carry it.
I attempted to ask an employee for assistance, but there was no one in sight. The cosmetics counter was not being utilized, even though the store was teeming with people. I was starting to feel claustrophobic, so I abandoned the mission. I probably won’t be back any time soon.
Agree with another patron that there was a funk to the place.

This place saved me yesterday. I was suffering from a major headache to due my advil wearing off from the morning. (due to a nasty hangover) and the day was still young and Valentines dinner was about to happen. Can’t have a headache for Valentines dinner!
Lo’ and behold this place showed up on the Unilocaldar! Walgreens to the rescue! They had exactly what I needed and more. Some water, advil, and a jumbo sized reece’s peanut butter cup later, I was a new man ready to face what Valentine’s Day had in store for me.
They also have a lot of parking in the back, so if you’re freaking out and think you won’t find parking, just pop around the corner for a wonderful surprise. Almost every slot was empty! Perfecto!
So if you’re in a dire place and need something, there will always be a Walgreens to the rescue! Just like this one was for me!

It’s Walgreens. Adjust your expectations. When you need a gallon of milk, a greeting card, or shampoo late at night this is the place. Not sure why people are giving such low ratings! It’s a drug store!

This is a decently-​stocked Walgreens with its own parking area. Considering how hard it is to usually park in the city, that’s a win right there! Staff is friendly but sometimes the cashier gets overwhelmed with no backup called.
We’ve always found what we needed on every visit. Bonus that you’re not relegated to the usual Doritos or Snickers bars here. There are indeed Asian snacks like shrimp chips and White Rabbit readily available! Yay for diversity.
Once we bought a box fan because our airbnb rental became too warm. I was thankful for their selection, considering it was pretty late in the evening. Returning home, that fan made all the difference pulling in cool night air into our stuffy bedroom.

The pharmacist Patty was very helpful in addressing my needs and very polite. Although she couldn’t help me at their Walgreens, she looked up in the Walgreens database to see if there was any stores that could. Very helpful!

walgreens has unmetered parking in front and back. no parking lot seen.
lots of cough and cold meds, many brands available. generics too. ($ 3 higher than
target.)
luckily, eye solution was on sale,
with «card» & $ 2 off coupon, @5.99
checkout lanes not marked, customers just standing around to pay.
notes:
–sales items pricing very confusing, have been shopping wlagreens for a while
fingered out pricing. finally.

I went to the pharmacy when I was in dire need and all of the pharmacists were gone, to have lunch, together. WTF! That is as unprofessional as it gets. The opening hours in front of the store doesn’t say their pharmacy is closed in the afternoon because everyone taking care of that department have to go for lunch at the same time. NOT impressed.

Can someone please tell these guys their phone is broken and NOT working? They need to fix it.

Why the heck did it smell like gym socks and mildew upon entering its doors? Either they’re using a funky ol’ mop or the canned Vienna sausages kept in the back are going bad. Yeah, I said it. I’m real like that.
So on a late night excursion to pick up some mascara and q-​tips, I was led to this particular Walgreens. Unbeknownst to me, I quickly started recognizing extremely familiar products as I perused the aisles. Wait a minute, wait a got damn minute! This is like an Asian-​fusion Walgreens! With the upcoming New Year, TET, on its way, they had red lai see envelopes in the card section, Asian snacks, one which included a favorite of mine while growing up, White Rabbit candy. All that’s missing is the fish monger in the back with the fresh crab and fish floating in the aquarium tanks.
Ok, so maybe I exaggerate, but it did surprise me to see the different Asian elements offered here.
I love how this Walgreens always seems to have my necessities in stock. Great neighborhood Walgreens, close to the beach, and in a safe neighborhood. I approve!

I was very impressed with this Walgreens. I loved how I never felt cramped in any of the aisles, how there was a cute little fresh perishable foods section that I actually was pretty tempted to buy, the overall appearance of the store looked full and «pulled out» plus there was a great selection of products I wanted such as drinks and shampoo. Friendly staff as well, what’s there not to love?
Well, this place would have gotten 5 stars if it weren’t for the fact that they sold my 75 4×6 photos to someone else. I went to pick up my photo order just to find that it’s in the hands of some other random person I don’t know. Now the staff who helped me were great! The ladies went right on to printing me a new stack and was very cooperative, which I really appreciate it. But I still feel a little unsettled that this problem happened to begin with. Not that there were any «odd» photos, but I just feel weird to know that someone else has a stack of 75 pictures of me with my friends on vacation in Hawaii.
Oh well, nothing I can do about it now, but I was quite impressed with the way everything was handled. Definitely one of my best Walgreens experiences despite the photo mishap.

So I know that I might be in the wrong here but it really pissed me off when I came to buy alcohol and they refused to sell it to me because my of age brother didn’t have his ID. And because he was standing with me, they refused to sell me alcohol, even the alcohol I was carrying myself. WTF!
I even asked if I could just put everything back and come back in. They said no because they knew who I was already. Soooooooo frustrating. Thanks for the great customer service jerks. It didn’t help that they gave me attitude while telling me «no».

Couple things.
Walgreens is carrying a very low priced puppy paper (that is about half the price of what I’d previously used) and it’s an excellent product. Props for that. But it is a bit thinner than the more expensive papers so you do need to use a paper tray. Those trays can be purchased at B&B or any pet supply store.
And then you have to soak the paper tray in water with a little baking powder, hydrogen peroxide and dishwashing liquid. Sounds more complicated than it is, just keep that stuff by your sink or tub.
Tonight I was running late and out of a daily med I use, and the pharmacy stayed open for about 10 extra minutes until I got there. Such good people!
If you ask, they will carry your heavy packages to your car. Very happy with Walgreens!

It’s open. It’s close by. And there’s a ton of parking.
It’s Walgreens. Not much to see here, and it’s been pretty much the same store for the past 20 years or so.
God, I’m getting old.
And so is the guy behind the counter. I don’t mean to hate, but if you come here late nights, there’s a guy behind the cash register that has a terrible hair piece on. It’s so bad, I have a hard time looking at it. It’s like a raccoon got hit by a car and crawled onto his head. It breaks my heart.
Sir, if you’re reading this, you’ve provided excellent service. I mean you no offense. Just go bald. Or wear a beanie. It will look a lot better.
Thanks.

I literally have been to every walgreens all around SF multuple times.
This is the worst one.
Went here today (I don’t go to this one often), to get spf moisturizer and any facial mask, especially mint mask and I checked for this location and it showed they were in stock.
Went in, took forever to find the moisturizer that I wanted, and could not find any masks at all. SO MANY OF THE STUFF ARE NOT RESTOCKED!!!
Avoid this Walgreens if you can.
OH +, as I was looking for the mask and moisturizer, one of the employees who was not appropriately dressed (blue jacket to match with the blue polos of the workers), was saying out loud to other workers, «aye! Can I leave now? I’ve been working too much! I need a break, I wanna go eat lunch, I’m hungry!»
I should’ve applauded him.

Tiny little Walgreen with limited inventory. Perfect for those who would like to avoid the corner store and don’t feel like driving all the way to Safeway.

The staff isn’t über perky or smiling all the time but they are helpful and willing to answer your questions. In the Outer Richmond, there are mostly houses and more house and the beach. Walgreens is a place nearby that you can pick up a snack while waiting for your prescription or browse around while waiting for the 38 bus.

The photo dept. at the Point Lobos Walgreens could really use some coaching/​sensitivity training considering its proximity to the VA Hospital. Many visiting family members will try to have reprints made of their loved ones to take to them in the hospital or for use later and it’s not uncommon to overhear conflicts taking place between the photo staff and customers while standing in line to check out. I know this because Mom and I have been regular customers here for many years.
I would rate this Walgreens location as follows:
Located 1 block from the VA Hospital– 5 stars
Store Layout — 4 stars
Selection/​/​Merchandising– 4 stars
Narrow parking spaces in front with faded dividing lines– 1 star
Pharmacy– 3 stars
Photo Dept.- 1 star
I needed to have an 8×10 for the printing of my Mom’s obituary and her memorial brochure. My awesome friend Steve was able to Photoshop a favorite older pic of Mom to make it look up-​to-​date and expertly refined. Since Mom worked for the US Government, I also had to run up to the VA for some paperwork so I emailed the photo to this Walgreens so I could pick it up along the way.
10 minutes after sending the pic, some guy calls me…
«This is the Point Lobos Walgreens photo department. We can’t process your order.»
«Why?»
“This is a recent professional portrait and duplicating it would be a copyright infringement [Damn, Steve-​O, you do good work].”
«It’s actually an older pic of my Mom that we doctored up for her obituary and memorial. I can show you the originals when I come by.»
«Look Sir, I’m trained in this and I know a new professional portrait when I see one. You can tell just by looking at the background [sorry dude, but it was computer generated].»
So I guess being a photo clerk at a Walgreens is all one needs to qualify for a job as an Art Director. Why go to school?
I then said, «What part of obituary and memorial is not coming through? It’s not a wedding, winter ball, prom, or grad pic that we are trying to mass duplicate so we can stiff the photo company. It’s of a 70-​year-​old woman and we only need 1 pic!»
(I mean, come on, do you really think I’d trust a Walgreens with any professional photography work?)
«Sorry, you’re mistaken and this order has been cancelled.» Click.
Thanks a lot Point Lobos Walgreens for helping to make this incredibly painful time in our lives even more difficult! Well, not really, because all I did next was email the pic to a different Walgreens location and, 17 minutes later I had my 8×10!
