Walgreens

Closes at 5? I’m wondering if people don’t know how to actually walk in SF. I swear I see a 7 – 11 and a walgreens on every single block. Why? Is there really so much demand? I went in here at 8:00 am and nobody was in there.
Oh well. It’s a Walgreen’s.
Let me tell you about the service! She was friendly and offered me a bag.
Let me tell you about the atmosphere! Mostly breathable.
Let me tell you about the food! I didn’t buy any and I didn’t eat the deodorant I bought.
Let me tell you about the prices! It costs money.
Let me tell you about the parking! You must be crazy.
Let me tell you that if you are actually reading the reviews for «Drug Stores» my review is not what you need to read. I just bought water, and pit stick. I can’t tell you about the Pharma side of things.

Love this place!!!
I eat there almost every day
Great sushi great food everything is fresg and the service is super nice!
They don’t have a lot of tables so most of the time everything is full and there’s no place to sit.
Besides that everything is great!

Oh baby you, got what I need! Well, almost. Where’s the wine? Is there some sort of crazy alcohol licensing thing, or is this place purposely missing out on getting that business?
This location was right across from my hotel, at The Galleria Park Hotel. I think I must’ve stopped in a half dozen times and each time it was busy. There never was really any issue or a long wait at all. I was always in and out in a jiffy. That’s a Southern saying where I’m from where they sell wine in the Walgreens.

This is the friendliest Walgreen’s ever. I was greeted by the Asian ladies and they helped me find what I needed. The cashiers are pretty efficient too except when there is only one for a long time (they open up more cashiers pretty quickly though).

this is a pretty standard walgreens except for one problem: they typically have no more than one cashier on deck at all times. what does that mean for us shoppers? unnecessary waste of time waiting in line. i recommend the walgreens on market street instead.

10 Important Facts About Walgreens:
(1) They do not have space heaters. Since space heaters violate San Francisco commercial building codes, I’m sure you weren’t looking for one. But hypothetically, if you were, you can just forget about getting one at this Walgreens. It doesn’t matter how cold your office is.
(2) Ritter Sport is frequently on sale: $ 4 for two of them. You’re probably on a diet though, so who cares. Right.
(3) A new sex store recently opened next door, in case you need Gatorade.
(4) If your name is Sunny, a certain cashier may try to sing the song «Sunny» to you. He doesn’t seem to know «Sunny Came Home,» thankfully.
(5) They DO carry eggs after all, Mom.
(6) They do not carry booze after all, everyone else.
(7) Despite a conspicuous absence of «Size A» in all colors, Walgreens has an otherwise bitchin selection of panty hose. And socks.
(8) Rock Star has its own case. Walgreens runs out of the yellow flavor from time to time, which tends to really frost my cookies.
(9) They just started carrying Toni & Guy hair products, if paying $ 20 for shampoo is your thing.
(10) I have WAY more points than you in the Walgreens points program, duchess status and all.
Ho hum.

They don’t sell any alcohol, which surprised me, but I guess it typical for SF? I haven’t checked if the Walgreens by my house sells alcohol. Besides that it’s a typical Walgreens, but usually has a long register line.

If you go here in the mornings it’s always busy. They only have two cashiers usually. If you get the older Asian lady with glasses, good luck. It takes her forever to ring you up.
The other girl who rings u up by the cheap cologne and perfume does a great job and does it quick.

Well stocked location, friendly staff and they have bottled GREEN and JASMINE TEA!!! Awesome =D

I have only one note to contribute to the extensive reviews of this otherwise colorless location: it’s tight in this motha. Get a little closer with a stranger by doing the consumer tango in the aisles, they’ve stocked the place and made very little room for big people. I’m kind of big people. It was tight.

Disclaimer: This is not going to be the most exciting review. In fact, probably my most boring review to date. This one is strictly for the PHARMACY — Got to give the Walgreens pharmacist a shout out. WOoo!
Anyway, I had to fill a Rx while away from home. and they were so helpful and friendly. The nurse in my doc’s office here in GA is not the nicest or most courteous, and I needed refills in addition to a temporary transfer to this Walgreens in the middle of days of meetings. They set me up with text notifications to let me know when the Rx was available. How cool!
This is one of the closest Walgreens to Galleria Park Hotel. Super convenient.
As far as Walgreens go (and in SF there are many of them) this is a great one!

When people talk about America being the greatest country in the world, I think they’re referring to Walgreens. It’s a one stop shop o’ love. There is nothing this place doesn’t sell. No other country in the world has anything quite like Walgreens.
The good — I heart SF t-​shirts for $ 3.99 and lip balms shaped like eggs.
The bad — Not having enough room in my suitcase to buy everything in the store.

Reminds me of NYC given how tiny this is. Surprisingly had plenty of employees to help which was nice. Note, they don’t have restrooms for the customers, so don’t bother if that is what you are looking for. ;-)

Just another typical Walgreens.
There are Walgreens everywhere, I barely go to Walgreens because i do not really buy a lot of snacks or junkies (Junk Food). However, I go to this location occasionally during breaks from my job. It is really convenient for people working in the Financial District because it is like in the heart of it.
Just a little note: there are like 3 more other Walgreens very close to this location…

Definitely a fan. I can pick up my RX, get my snacks for the day (i.e. yogurt, string cheese… and they have vastly improved their fruit stock.) and whatever else I deem necessary for the day — such as fingernail polish to match my outfit.
Ten thumbs up for being the only wal-​greens downtown that HAS BIKE LOCKS! This has saved my ass on numerous occasions where I accidentally didn’t bring my lock/​key/​bottom half of u-​lock etc.

I’m totally a fan of this Walgreens. As an Office Manager, I can just pop downstairs and head in and get what I need.
Serving utensils? Check
Coke Zero for the boss? Check
Feminine hygiene products for the Ladies Room? Check.
Recycle my dead batteries? Check.
etc
etc
etc
And, they’re actually nice and conversational there.
I doc one star for the narrow aisles, but other than that, I’m so thankful I work right above them. Not that I can’t walk 2 blocks and see another one though. ;)

I’ll tell you what I appreciate about this Walgreens.
No coupon nazi’s.
All, and I mean ALL of the Walgreens I’ve been to in this fair city have employees who, whenever I use any sort of coupon, stare at it like it’s not only counterfeit but may in fact bite them. They’re minorly rude, usually standoffish and on the whole, not people I pay much attention to in my search to get what I need and leave.
This location is somewhat different however, they don’t give me coupon grief and they’re actually kinda friendly. Though they have smaller isles which gives the allusion that even without people in them they’re crowded and they do the same stupid thing of having the checkout line go through an isle as the VanNess locale does.
However, they actually have some sort of customer service.
Hmm, what a concept.

3 Stars
I needed to pick up some pomade and a few bottles of water… to make sure that nobody woke up w/​a hangover after partying. This place made it quick n easy… and «Theresa C.» had a great attitude while ringing us up.

Each time I leave here, I’m more & more impressed — this place has it ALL
Extra pair of socks when I forget mine? Check
Ponytail holders when I’m having a bad hair day? Check
Sewing kit to get that button back in its place? Check
Oatmeal & Milk? Check
Snacks & Sodas out the wazoo? Check & Double Check
Jammy bottoms when I forget my «Acupuncture attire»? Check
Electrical Tape to doctor-​up my iPod headphones? Check — YES, even electrical tape!
This is all in addition to the multitude of vitamins, pain relievers, make-​up, personal hygiene products, etc, etc, etc… & let’s not forget prescriptions… after all, this IS a drug store
I heart you Walgreens!

OK. They don’t have my beloved life blood: the Starbucks Double Shot Light. I was willing to give them another chance. Then they had no cat ears left for Halloween. Read my other reviews. Once again: Most popular costume accessory– order MORE. I know they’re probably ok, but they NEVER have what I want. And I want what I want and I want it NOW. *stomps feet*
2 stars for at least being near work so when my favorite Walgreen’s is out of water pills, I can run over here and get them quickly :)
