Walgreens

Walgreens here is ultra pricey. no doubt due to lack of competition. meds/​vitimins highesi i’ve ever seen in a drug store. i. e CoQ10 @1.13 each which costco is .20. buy one, get one closes gap a little.
buys: faraoh aloe (1.29) 8 oz.
–all flavors 23 grams sugar, healty? h… no!
–of course it taste like a tea./soft drink.
drips:
–charging stations for cars in parking lot.
–2 stars for priciness
–few beers seen.

Most LAZY, inattentive pharmacy workers that I have ever had to deal with. I don’t know why I’ve given them my business for the past 3 years. Everytime I go up to the counter, or to the drive thru I am either waiting for atleast 10 minutes or I leave because I don’t have the time of patience to deal with the service here.

This Walgreens is extremely trashy and dirty. The floors aren’t clean, the parking lot is full of trash, Graffitti covers the curbs. Neighbors have complained to no avail. Go to one of the other branches is my advice. This is a management issue I believe.

I came in here one time to get some candy and chips. If your a female the security guard will probably undress you with his eyes. That alone was a very unpleasant experience for me.
This Walgreen’s location is very unorganized, it seems to be neglected by most of the employees that work here. There was random pieces of clothing thrown in the makeup isle, not too sure what that is about? I also saw multiple beer cases just sitting on the middle of the floor like someone was about to stock them but forgot. If you pay close attention most of the shelves have a thick layer of dust built up on them as well. Even if they had an excellent selection of products and good customer service, it can’t make up for my uncomfortable experienced here. One star, I won’t be back.

Alberto from the photo department gave me amazing customer service. I tired printing out a picture for my class on a 8×10 print. However, the image kept getting cut off, and I’ve been to this location multiple times. I was irritated after the second time around because I need the picture to be perfect. Alberto was patient and helped me figure out how to send the picture through the app to have it print the way I need it to. After a couple attempts we got it perfectly. Thank you again for your help man! I’m sure I will get that A!

There’s a guy who works there that has tattoos on his neck and makes shopping very uncomfortable. every time I go in he follows me like I’m gonna steel something. I work 2 jobs and have no need to steel. Definitely won’t be going back.

The ladies who work at the pharmacy are consistently very rude and do not seem to want to help people. It’s like they don’t enjoy their job. I personally would not recommend coming here for any prescriptions, find another place that has better customer service.

My gf and I came here to get some medicine at the pharmacy. The lady that was attending us was very rude and impolite. She was supposed to call insurance for us but she took forever to do that. Horrible service and I didn’t want to be attended by her anymore.

They don’t have a lot but in a jam I can find things I need. Prices aren’t the best but in a punch it works because it’s close.

So I don’t know what the deal is… these guys aren’t too bad.
I live downtown. So on my days off I like to stroll over to walgreens and buy overpriced crap I don’t need. Its usually because I’m bored.
The Pros:
–Friendly Staff (considering they work downtown and have to deal with all the dirty bums and weekend drunk people)
–They are open holidays!
–They have the basics
–Clean enough. (pretty clean considering they are a downtown location)
The Cons:
–Its downtown.
–Bums hang outside and ask you for money on your way in and out.
–The security guard is like weird (perve, racist, rude, annoying. possibly sexist?)
–Its overpriced.

I dont know how this store can stay in business when their price is 20% higher than Walmart or Target in the area.

Buyer beware!!!
Overall the store and employees are good. The issue is they try to sneak in the .10 bag charge even when you buy a pack of gum and don’t get a bag. This happened 3 times out of 4 times being at this store.
1. Walked there. Got home and realized the charge. Walked back, had to go to Mgr to get the .10 refund.
2. Got to the car. Realized I was charged again. Went in and had to go to the Mgr to get the .10 refund.
3. Yesterday, as she was handing me the receipt, I asked if I was charged the .10. She looked at the receipt and said yes. I asked her if she used a bag. She said «No». I told her to give me the .10. She was a bit shocked (or caught) taking the money.
Now I’m wondering if the .10 is automatically set up in the register. Either way, buyer… beware. It may only be .10, but for heavens sake, it’s my .10. Quit stealing from me. Your inventory is already priced tooooo high.
Also, homeless are always out front begging. But then to be fair, they are everywhere in this town. Very sad.
*****It’s been at least 6mo since I started this post. It is rare that I go to this store anymore. And now I am moving out of this area (thank goodness). The last couple times I did go I was not charged the .10 bag fee. I am hopeful that they have cleaned up their act.

This Walgreens is close to where we live, and for that alone, it gets a star and my business. It’s convenient for small items I’ve forgotten at bigger stores or need to purchase randomly, so there’s the second star.
The pharmacy, as many have already stated, is not great. They’ve messed up my prescription numerous times, claimed they «never came in» despite my having my doctor ON THE PHONE saying it was sent and giving a time it was received (this happened both via fax and email btw) and it often takes longer than it probably should. On the plus side, the auto refill thing, once you have your prescription in the system, is helpful. As another reviewer noted, I have also had my prescription changed to a generic, although for me they told me so I appreciated the savings, it’s terrifying that they would do it without sharing the change due to the allergic issues. I tried getting prescriptions at another Walgreens nearby (McKee) but it was actually worse, so I ended up just coming back here. The people working can be nice or somewhat rude, depending on when you go, who you get and how busy it is. It’s manageable, although not ideal.
The photo department however, we will not use again. I’ve gotten pictures printed there on and off through the years and the quality has gone down each time. While we usually use Costco, sometimes it was more convenient to get it at Walgreens. Recently we picked up our order and they were TERRIBLE. The pictures were off-​center so that there were actually edges of undeveloped film on one side. They were very fuzzy and unclear, although the images were high resolution and taken with a quality camera and very clear on a large computer screen. The paper didn’t even have a company name on the back, so it’s clear they are using low quality film rather than Kodak. Part of my order was missing and the whole thing looked like I printed it at home on a printer from 1992! We will not get any pictures there in the future.
Basically, if there was a closer option that was better, I’d use it. Since there isn’t, I make do, but I always try to make sure to start checking on my prescription well before I need it and I’ll go other places for my film needs.

I kind of like this convenient store, but can’t they do something against hobos in front of the store? They always beg money for customers when they walk in.

This review is ONLY for the pharmacy. I almost feel embarrassed for the pharmacy techs and pharmacist — it’s that bad. It must be tough to be that incompetent at your job. I turned in a simple RX on a Friday and was told that it would be ready in a couple of hours. I said thanks, and that I would pick it up Saturday morning. I came back Saturday morning and after two people attempted to find me in the system, was told that they «couldn’t find my RX». They requested I come back in two hours, promising they would figure it out. When I arrived back in two hours, the first person was clueless when I explained that I was there to pick up an RX. She had to get help and the next person told me that they were still verifying insurance info, they would not take my coupon for the RX, and that they needed even more time. Never once did I hear an apology, and all but one tech was actually rude to me. I decided that three times of driving down there was enough and decided to call first the next morning to insure the two RX’s were ready. The pharmacist (an Asian Male) seemed disorientated and scattered on the phone, and when I specified that I just wanted to insure that the prescription was ready, since I had been mistakingly told three times already that it was by the staff, he actually giggled like a silly teenager. Note: Never giggle in this situation, unless you are indeed a silly teenage girl. Assure your customer and give them confidence in you. You are supposed to be trusted as a medical professional, so please don’t reduce yourself. After this embarrassing outburst of girlish glee, he quickly hung up without an apology or any kind of assurance that they would not provide this poor service again. I decided to drive down there one last time, and leave either with the RX or a transfer of the RX to a local Target Pharmacy. Once I arrived, it was more of the same confusion and waiting. Finally, I was told that it was ready, but that perhaps there was be a bad interaction with an allergy I have. Four drives and a phone call with the pharmacist and this is the first time it was brought to my attention.
I only wish I had read the other reviews before using this pharmacy — as this story seems to be a running theme. I went at various times of day, on various days, and every time it was a very long wait (both in drive-​thru and inside).

This review is solely for the pharmacy. It is, in a word, awful.
I swear, the people that work here must take classes on how to offer the worst possible customer service. Some speak little to no English, and most are rude and downright unapproachable. The only reason this pharmacy gets 2 stars instead of 1 is the fact that, for all their faults, the staff is able to turn around a prescription in under 15 minutes.
TLDR; they’ll fill your script in a hurry, but they won’t be happy about it.

This is a great Walgreens and it’s less than a block from my house! I walk over here frequently and the people there are always friendly, always willing to help, and they have a decent amount of products. Got a superb deal on a humidifier for my room here too. Not much you can say about a Walgreens other than the service, but this place has always done right by me.

I would like to make a comment. The Sales person name I am referring
to (below comment) is Diana Schultz. She is exceptional and usually
working in the front check out. So Diana, you get 5 stars.

Definitely bigger space wise. Clean, organized and yes mellow and less harried staff. Big parking lot. +++
Came in for a quick purchase of a tube of toothpaste. The problem is I can’t just go in and leave like that! Its almost impossible unless I’m really pressed for time. I wandered around for about almost an hour and ended up with more than just that toothpaste :(
Love their lip gloss section. It’s my go to section in any Wallgreens.

This will be the greatest review ever.
After you are done reading this review, you most likely will think to yourself:
«Wow, you know, that was not the greatest review ever. In fact, it was terrible. The title did not fit.»
I thought the same thing when I was at this particular Walgreen’s buying deodorant. I was ready to pay when I looked up at the cashier. It was this older heavyset woman with «Farrah Fawcett» hair, large coke bottle glasses that belonged in the ‘70s, drawn on eyebrows, cheesy eye make up, and a large hairy mole on her upper lip that went well with her thin mustache.
On her name tag was her name: Rose. And below it was her title: Beauty Expert.
Clearly, the title did not fit.
Other than that, this place has all the last minute stuff you might need: razors, deodorant, toothpaste, mouthwash, cologne, perfume, cards, Gatorade, Advil, Excedrin, Gansitos, booze, soda, bottled water, t-​shirts, hats, make up, and ice cream.
Unfortunately, there are no Choco Tacos.
