Walgreens

Pharmacy service sucks… not the level of customer service, they just need more techs working…

You would think this is a 24 hour pharmacy… But it is not. Customer service is very rude as well.

Waiting at drive thru for 10 fucken mins to pick up one medication reallyyyyy close the fucken pharmacy if you can’t afford more clarks

Dropped off my perscriptions a little before 3 pm. Almost 8 and still not ready. Went back on my own to find out that aparently there was an issue with my insurance but i never received any calls to inform me of anything. Took em to CVS n I’m in n out in 20 minutes. This Walgreen’s location has some serious competency problems. Its like their employees were not trained like at all. The store itself is mediocre. Very limited selections on some grocery items and items will be out of stock. Not very convenient for a 24 hr store. Never coming here again.

I like the staff at this Walgreens. The area is rough and hard, but all of us who find convenience in shop at this location have no reason to judge. In any case, I haven’t been harassed by coming here, so I guess you can say that it’s handled. the staff works hard, and the shelves are stocked. No complaints from me.

Needed to get meds for daughter who has ear infection, check website, states 24 Hour… Walk in, clerk says that they closed the 24 hour pharmacy closed about a month ago and only does regular hours.
minus 50 points to walgreens
Plus 70 points to clerk for being nice
Minus 17 points since he didn’t know a closer 24 hour pharmacy in area than a 20 mile drive to another 24hour walgreens.
Walgreens should be glad to get three stars from me.

This place is fantastic if only for their extensive candy bar selection. Also, a non judgement so staff, who turns a blind eye to the funk of transients. You can have your faith in humanity smashed to pieces or restored all in the same hour/​isle. Great deals on batteries and the no-​brainer go-​to for birth control needs.

I just want to start of by saying OMG. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a more ghetto Walgreens in my life and I’m from Bakersfield… went here once to grab some drinks for our mixed drinks and 1 more time for pads. The first time I went the ghetto ness was rather low. The cashier though would not stop yapping and saw that we were purchasing mixers without alcohol. She said lucky wished she could join us. Which I though was very unprofessional. She later went on to blab about what time she was getting off like we were her damn best friends from high school.
The second time we went was even worse. There were 2 of the most ghetto ladies I’ve ever seen in my life. Wearing leopard print pants and other ridiculous attire you’d see in the hood. They were yelling, cussing, and just being obnoxious. The cashier was a little less ghetto but she was more pushy than a damn used car salesman. Insisting that we buy the .49 cent candy thought was on sale. There was probably a 8 person line so we’re trying to be polite and hurry but this lady would not let us leave! She probably tried selling that damn candy at least 10 times before she took no for an answer.
The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is cause it has everything we need and it’s open all the time.

The store may seem unappealing due to individuals loitering but The Pharmacy here rocks!
I’ve had a few prescriptions re-​filled here and the Pharmacy techs have always done a great job reviewing how each medication should be taken. They always call me once my prescriptions are ready for pick-​up and/​or they give me an accurate wait time in case I decided to shop around.

I’m very glad this location is near my area and that they do have 24hr Pharmacy. I was suffering with my allergies at 2am in the morning and had to drive over and hope they did have my allergy meds in stock. YES! Walgreens THANKS!
they have lots of parking spaces and good deals

I love going to my Walgreens! The buff cashier name Noël is very funny and clever with his suggestive sell punchlines. I also enjoy watching Steve getting chase out of the store by the diligent managers that work there.

Excellent Walgreens to shop at. All the employees and staff are extreme helpful and patient. I’ve been coming to walgreens for quite some time and know a few of the staff! Andrea, Sophia, Linda, Tia, Tu, Lue, Joyce, Vince, nazil, Tuan, Xa, Rikki, Dan, Sergio, and many more. These guys have a tough job dealing with customers and staying open 24 hours yet they continue to provide our community with superior service. Pharmacy is fast as they can be when dealing with such an enormous work load. I think us customers forget how busy they are. Again, amazing store and I will continue to shop at Walgreens.

Waiting in line forever here no one seems to be paying attention. Overall pretty much like every other walgreens I have ever been to. People waiting are frustrated, the photo line isn’t long though so that’s a plus. Come get your essentials at the corner of happy and healthy!

Okay I know I am going to receive some negativity from giving this Walgreens store a 2-​star rating but I am just giving my honest opinion. I will admit this to everyone; I have been in this Walgreens at least once a week. It’s close to my home and they seem to stock a lot of what I need. Whether its buying something quick like cough drops, a candy bar, or shampoo, they always seem to have what I am looking for.
Located on the very busy intersection of Arden Way & Howe Ave., this particular Walgreens store has to got to be one of the busiest locations in all of Sacramento. Reason being is that it is one of the few 24-​hour locations. The parking lot situation can be painstakingly challenging as you have the option of turning on Howe Ave. and literally making a u-​turn just to get to the store. Or the other option is entering on Arden Way which (in my opinion) is easier since there is a surprisingly fair amount of parking spaces open.
On any given day, you will find panhandlers, homeless people, and vagrants outside the establishment. Don’t let this deter you from walking in as this part of the Arden neighborhood is notoriously known for this. Once inside, you will notice how bright this store actually is. It is so bright to a point where I have to squint my eyes if it is dark outside.
The primary reason why I have to give this critical review a 2-​star rating is the customer service and/​or lack of employees. On several occasions, I’ve had to ask the clerk that is ringing customers in the front of the store for help. He pages that department but nobody comes out. There was another time when I needed an over-​the-​counter medication but they were out! Is this even possible in a store that has a pharmacy and is supposed to be stocked with medicine? And finally, another occasion is where I wanted some pictures developed from my smart phone and it took a very long 15 minutes just for someone to help me.
I will say that a few more employees would be a nice addition to this Walgreens store. As busy as it is and with the amount of revenue they get on any given day, I am sure it would benefit their company tremendously. And again, be very weary of your surroundings if you plan on shopping here at night. As far as what types of changes I would enforce, a major remodel would be a good start. We’ll just see how the next few years and even decades pans out for this store.

Getting into this parking lot can be a challenge. Getting past the folks looking for change or someone to buy a candy bar can also be a challenge. If/​When you make it inside, you enter the world of Walgreens goodies.
There is something to be said for treasure hunting at pharmacies. I am guilty of grabbing some pretty great finds and this store is no exception. They have a large selection of seasonal items, cosmetics and greeting cards, etc. I echo Jana T.‘s review about the fully stocked shelves. I have yet to come here and not find what I wanted or needed.
The coolest thing about this location is definitely the electric car charging station. This is one of only a few I have seen around this area.

I’m just gonna say it. I came here for birth control because Planned Parenthood was out of the one I wanted, and I asked them to write out a prescription rather than make me drive to another location.
Okay, I lied. My boyfriend was driving, and he was a little peeved that I was making him drive all the way to Walgreens, but I assured him that I had been coming to Walgreens for years, and that they were almost always quick and in-​stock.
I dropped off my prescription around 3pm, and SPECIFICALLY ASKED the clerk to make sure that she had the correct insurance card on file before I left, because she told me it would take about three hours to fill the prescription. She clicked a few keys and said, «Yes, it works.»
30 minutes later, when we are already back in Rio Linda, I get a phone call saying that my prescription will not be filled because my insurance card is not on file, so after having dinner, we drive back. At this point, it has been three hours, and my prescription should have been ready.
The clerk says, «Your insurance did not cover this medication, so we called your doctor to ask if they could prescribe something else that would be covered.» Are you kidding me? You ask my doctor to change my medication without consenting me? I drove out here because I do NOT want a different medication. I want the one pill that doesn’t give me any issues, out of a sea of pills that ruin my life.
At this point, I asked them if they would take my other insurance card, which it turns out they already had on file. They had both cards on file, and didn’t even try them both before delaying my prescription and trying to change my medication without my consent? An hour later, my prescription is ready.
One-​third of my prescription, that is. I am glad I didn’t let my boyfriend leave the parking lot without checking.
First I am told, this is what was prescribed to you. Then after I say the words, «May I please see the script?» they magically realize that I was prescribed three times the quantity that I received. Again, I assure my boyfriend that errors like this are usually resolved quickly, but it takes them another thirty minutes to give me the rest of my medicine.
Now, I might, might, maybe understand this if they had to count out pills or something, but my birth control comes in sealed packages. Literally all they had to do was pull two more packets off the shelf and put them in my bag, and after all the mistakes and long waits of the day, they really had the nerve to make me wait another thirty minutes for them to grab something off of a shelf, and no apologies or peace offerings were made to me at all.
This was the worst customer service ever. I am definitely never coming back to this location.

Great place for the «late night candy run». Always in and out with hardly ever a line.

Went to this Walgreens yesterday while helping a friend move because my other friend was in need of allergy medicine. They lock up their medicine so we waited in line for a pharmacist to come but the others in line were pushing the button. Not even sure when that pharmacist came out. Then we saw a sign to push the customer service button so we did. It notifies the whole store on the speaker and the voice saying «Customer service needed in the _​_​_​_​_​_​department» went off three or four times. We must have been waiting about 7 – 10 minutes for allergy medicine.
Then we went to grab some Arizona iced teas and there was absolutely no variety which was very disappointing. While we checked out the cashier was rude and didn’t even ask how we were doing.
Well, I’m from out of town and my friend just needed allergy medicine! He could have gotten a bad allergic reaction with that long wait!

So here we go… ;)
Headed out on an early Sunday afternoon in need of my over the counter (but you need to get them over the counter from an employee & show ur drivers license; not off the shelf due to the fact that the Tweekers have abused the active ingredient and now the rest of us must endure their legacy Claritin D 12 hour allergy med as I was plum out and seriously dying from the allergies not to mention the fact that I was having one hell of a play session in my beloved backyards dirt this weekend taking my allergies to the «OMG I can’t breathe & I have a headache from heLL» level.
Used my fav app Unilocal to Unilocal the closest 24 hour Walgreens and although this location is a few miles farther than some closer to my Casa; when I called and asked if they were open I immediately fell in love with the response I received «We never close»… «WE NEVER CLOSE»… Yes you read that right and so I headed down…
Here’s what I like about this store:
Shelves were stocked & they carry my favorite beauty black bar soap
and although its a super hot item and flys off the shelf they had 2 bars making me squeel in deLight ;)…
Their Cosmetic section is also very well stocked and if your shopping their sales then you can really save some money here.
They have a frequent flyer/​shopper card that also packs in the saVings & gives you coupons back.
Photo printing: U can make copies, reprints and the like right there in store.
The pharmacy staff for the first time in quite a while was friendly; and if you shop Walgreens too you know that far too often they recruit their pharmacy staff from the agency «Rude & Ruder». Not this place. Super friendly and helpful and they even smiled too.
They are 24 hours… THAT in itself is INVALUABLE only it is. I called the Walgreens over on El Camino who was listed as 24 hours prior to heading down to this one and was told when I asked if they were open: Well we are BUT we close for lunch from 130 – 230. R U Kidding me??? so they lost my business but this location got it and will keep on getting it.
DISLIKES: The tweeker and pan handler in front of the store. It does seem tho that Walgreen’s everywhere does get alot of this type of traffic regardless of the location of their store. But its not enough to keep me and my business away. And if they ask you for something all you have to do is firmly but politey say: NO ;)
Final Grade: A+
~The End… for now ;)~

Pro: Open 24 hours a day, which is super convenient when you need late night cold medicine (have your ID, remember stores card for that now) or toilet paper or a body pillow-​sized bag of popcorn for $ 5 (see my photo!). Just went there the other night for some A&D lotion after a late tattoo appointment. Thank goodness they were open because no one else was.
I love their cosmetics section with loads of selection… plenty of pretty nail polishes to browse. Their holiday section tends to have cute stuff at affordable prices. Plus their photo machine is pretty handy for when I need some printed pics in a hurry.
Con: The area itself is not that bad but MAN the venue is sketch. At daytime it isn’t too bad, even though you’ll usually see some «interesting» types, but be cautious at night. Get what you need and get out, and be aware of your surroundings in the parking lot.
