Walgreens

Update. after my paper rx was handed back to me, and I was told to go somewhere closer to my house (12 miles away) I received an email from this Walgreens that my prescriptions were ready for pick up. I called and told the technician that my prescription was refused and she said that I must be mistaken, and it was ready for pick up.
So now I had my filled prescription, AND a paper prescription. O_​o
I do continued to have my prescription filled here every month, until two weeks ago when there was some dimensional shift and my house was now too far away from them.
When this mysterious time-​space portal
reopens, maybe Walgreens and I shall be reunited once more. Until then, might I recommend the CVS located in constellation Virgo, North Galactic Pole, Quadrant 4 (NGQ4).

This review is for the pharmacy only. A few months back my daughter got the flu. We went to another pharmacy and was unable to get her prescription for tamiflu for children. Many pharmacies were out because it was the middle of flu season. I went to this Walgreens, they didn’t have it either. The pharmacist spoke to me and let me know that she could make a compound for my daughter out of the adult strength tamiflu. I had no idea that this could be done. The pharmacist was great and I appreciated her help.

This place deserves absolutely ZERO for customer service. I parked got to the door at 1:31 and the woman changed the open sign to closed saying they close for lunch 1:30−2 but you can use the drive through. I said ok and went back to my car. Got in line at the drive through. There was one car in front of me. As I was driving to the window she put the «closed out of office until 2pm» sign on the window. Idiotic people annoy the hell out of me.

I came here to get the flu shot (quad) in February. A bit late, I know. But I had been sick on and off with different things and then traveling.
So I went to their tiny drugstore and had no problem paying for it. Then a woman came out to try and talk me out of the flu shot. She stated that flu season was over and that it would only protect me 10% and that the strain of flu going around town isn’t the same so it wouldn’t matter if I got the flu shot. I let her know I still wanted it but she continued to argue with me. I sat in their chair and pulled up the CDC website where they had just issues another recommendation that adults continue to get it. It didn’t matter, she continued to try and talk me out of it. I finally said to her, «this is my decision, not yours.» She was annoyed but administered the flu shot.
After the shot was done, she stated that I would get a fever. Not that it’s a possibility, but emphatically that I would. Then she told me that I would get the flu later in the evening. With an eye roll, I literally read back to her the sheet they gave me with possible side effects.
I am giving this place 1 less star because I strongly feel that spreading incorrect medical information is never okay. Another 1 less star for allowing her personal opinions to interfere with a persons personal wishes. And 1 less star for her attitude towards me.

This is a basic small Walgreens, with lots of pharmacy items. The aspirin seems fresh, the cough drops include cherry and honey flavors, and you can get a shingles shot here (with no insurance coverage for it, it’ll set you back about $ 240).

Review is only for the drive thru pharmacy. Never been inside.
Nice friendly staff, never a long wait in line and a «Thank you» after every transaction.
Just wish it was 24 hours.

I usually never go here, preferring the CVS across the street or Target down the street, but I read about a special Walgreen’s was running on Sprite 12-​packs — 4 for $ 12.
The layout of the store is gross — the place feels overcrowded and dirty compared to other drug stores. The girl who rung me up was SO inept! I wanted to grab a new hair brush and some shampoo, in addition to the Sprite. However, when the girl rang up the Sprite — the cash register wasn’t reflecting the discount. I caught this error before she started to ring up the hair brush and shampoo and asked her to recheck it because I didn’t think the discount was coming up. She looked at me blankly, then looked at the screen of the register, and was like, «Well… Whatever the machine tells me, that’s usually correct.» I’m like, No, I can do math, and my subtotal is reading $ 24-​something (charging me $ 6 a 12-​pack, instead of $ 3). I’m like, «The total is too high based on the discount.» She’s like, «Well… I can get you a calculater.» I’m like, «I don’t need a calculator to know that I’m being overcharged. Can you please get the manager so I can get the advertised discount?» Then she started to get rude and nervous — she’s like, «The manager’s on break…
Right.
I TOTALLY bought that!
I looked at her with frustration and said, «Nevermind. Keep your fake discount. I’m done with this store forever. Thank you for giving me a reason to never come back here!»
So, basically, I didn’t get what I needed or wanted and had crappy customer service. Remember folks, there’s a CVS AND a RiteAid across the street AND a Target a little bit further down on Yorba Linda Blvd. GO THERE INSTEAD!

I have been getting my prescription here for several years and never really been in a situation where i really depended on them until a couple weeks ago. I had a tooth pulled, a rod put in for an implant, and bone graphing. Let me tell that i was in great pain as the Anethestic was wearing off while i was driving to the my local drugstore, which was about 45 minutes away with traffic, and when i got there i was in so much pain that i couldn’t bare the pain any longer. But when i got to the counter they told me that it would take 20 to 40 minutes for the prescription to fill. I told them what i just went through and that i’m in great pain and in great need for the pain killer, they got it done for me in 10 minutes. THAT WAS AWESOME!!! I just want to say thank you to them even though what the doctor prescribed didn’t help the pain that much.

This review is specifically for the Pharmacy. The rest of the place is pretty standard drug store stuff. The pharmacy however is definitely a step above the rest. My wife and I both agree that the staff that work there are just plain COMPETENT. I know that this shouldn’t be such a rare thing but unfortunately it is. They referenced my insurance from my wife’s info and did it in under a minute. I asked questions they gave straightforward answers. They just had there stuff together. The woman pharmacist (Asian) is top notch. She’s thorough, has great customer service, and patient.
Well done Walgreens.
