Walgreens

Not 24 hours. False advertisement, thanks for wasting 4 other people’s time since I got here

I came in one day to develop some photos and there was a beautiful young woman and she was nice enough to help me with my photos. She has excellent customer service and she is very polite. I love coming to this Walgreens.

I am hoping this gets to the Supervisor of Walgreens. On 5÷25÷2016 a wonderful worker named Alex. He went out of his way to help my elderly Mom. Her Novelas magazine is important to her. At age 83 yrs young. Alex not only went to the back warehouse to get her the latest magazine. His upbeat attitude on his job and customer service is a delight to see in today world. I look forward to meeting him. Hire more like him. His shift had him in the store at 11:56 am. I hope he gets the Supervisor attention. Store Manager hire a good one

The Vietnamese pharmacist is RUDE! I will not be back!

this walgreens is my favorite! i’m here all the time and the employees are always really nice.

Honestly, I have experience better in other Walgreens than this location. It says that they are open 24 hours open in website and Unilocal sites, but actually pharmacy is not open 24 hours so they always make you confuse. It’s located centrally and have nice parking, but when we went there was only one staff and super busy as well. There was no notice outside in the drive through about pharmacy hours.

Walgreens is one of those places that you never really think of… or at least I don’t. This location is 24 hours and I think the only times I go to this place is when I need something specific. Otherwise Walmart is cheaper, and CVS is closer.
I was actually in a bind and needed to develop some photos for a bridal shower I was hosting and Walgreens photo was very reliable. AND they had a 40% off prints coupon and i paid less than $ 2 for my photos. I was happy with the quality of the prints (bc Walmart has not been so great) and i forget that no one really goes here. Little to no lines make visiting this location take a whole 5 minutes out of my day.

Just went in to pick up some eye drops for my daughter, which had a coupon according to the label. At the register they rang up regular price and when I tried telling the girl (Vaiola was her name) she just told me «no its regular price.» Never bothered checking like all the other cashiers, I had to be the one to walk back and verify the label once again. I’m not sure where the normal friendly cashiers were tonight but this girl is simply rude and has no business interacting with customers.

24 hour location. Is it just me or are there a lot of odd birds that frequent places like this?
Pre-​Valentine week and they had chocolates and teddy bears galore.
I HAD to return to this store because the tube of medication I had purchased (In a box) was EMPTY! Whaaaaaddaaaheeecckk! Next time, I will check all packages before leaving!
Thankfully they accepted the return for the empty box and replaced it with no hassle. That’s the only reason they got 2 stars instead of one.
I overheard two young ladies asking to use a restroom, only to be told: «Oh it’s closed for the night!» What! Wait, is that even legal? I thought public or places of business are required to have a restroom, if not for the public, at least for the employees! I thought that very odd and also rude as far as customer service goes. (Is it a policy because my son had a similar experience at another Walgreens another late night. If it is that should be clearly POSTED somewhere).
The cash register person on the night I was there seemed to be manned by someone who seems entirely unfamiliar with the use of advertised coupons from their own flyer.
All in all an odd foray for the odd late night drugstore necessity.

Lots of items out of stock. Beware! Plus, hoodlums race thru the parking lot.

If I could give this place 0 stars i would. I walk in for about 15 minutes looking for something and couldnt find it. I asked the manager on duty (an older hispanic woman) and she acts as if im stupid. The way that I was treated by this lady was amazing. This lady had all types of visible tattos and no people skills. Not the person that I would trust to be running my business. Very rude !!!
I would never set foot in this place again, Went to another store in lakewood and they had what I was looking for and were very friendly.

Great pharmacy. Usually quite clean and organized. The employees don’t dawdle and keep you waiting. Many are even fun to talk to as you check your items out. Easy shopping experience. :)

Manager is super friendly! Clean store, nice staff! They have everything you need.

Never used their pharmacy so this only applied to the general store. Things were never in stock here so I wouldn’t even bother coming in. I found some expired Tylenol on the shelves so I learned to always check dates here. You would think something so common like Tylenol wouldn’t sit on the shelf forever until expiration! The photo department was slow. There was no other print job ahead of mine but it would still take them 45 min to print one simple picture. They took their sweet time to chitchat with each other first before finally decided to get to work.

Walgreens in Artesia is located on Pioneer and Artesia; convenient to the 91 freeway (Pioneer Blvd. Exit). The parking lot has plenty of parking, in fact, I have never seen this lot full. This particular Walgreens has Artesia clothing such as sweatshirts and t-​shirts. If you need to go to the bathroom, ask an employee to unlock the door for you, but it is located in the back by the toothpaste/​toothbrush shelf unit. My favorite aisle is the one with the «As Seen On TV» products, I am a fan of these inexpensive gadgets that seem to be more of a novelty. The photo service area had one employee working at the time and he wasn’t too confident on how to make photo books that were 2 sided (one star off). There are 3 cash registers, but sometimes only one is being operated. The pharmacy never looks real busy to me; it is located in the far back right corner of the store. The best part about this place is that it is open 24 hours!

Attention management:
I was patiently on hold (trying to speak with a pharmacist) for over an hour, until the phone system hung up on me.
I waited and waited, while the system told me: only one caller ahead of you, you are next… yet, nothing.
UNACCEPTABLE «service.» Taking my business elsewhere.

Another incident:
Got through to a pharmacist on the phone (another long wait), but she refused to tell me whether they had the medication in stock, unless I came in with my script.
She was very unyielding and just simply inconsiderate of the customer’s time or request.
NO OTHER pharmacy location (CVS, Ralph’s, Vons, Costco) refused to let me know if the medication was in stock or not. They just told me, right on the phone.
Poor, poor service.

I love seeing cheap gifts here that my co-​workers have gotten me for the holidays. High stars for being open 24 hours! A rare site in this part of town.
Stuff I have gotten here:
–Meds — use the drive thru or you’ll end up buying stuff you think you need while waiting.
–Cosmetics
–Toiletries
–House slippers — my BF loves them! No cholo slippers though :(
–Candy and junk food
–Pantyhose emergency
I just learned that there’s a redbox! Great for those late night insomniacs.

Just like my CVS review, it’s just another retail chain drugstore with various goods. The prices here for some of their snacks are overpriced like CVS. However I saw that their Arizona drinks were on sale for 50 cents and they are the big cans.
But I did come here a few years ago to get my passport picture taken. I think I paid like 10 bucks or something for it. Staff are friendly enough to help out.

Pharmacy Dept was very helpful!
Came in because I was getting over a cold/​flu and had a lot of congestion. So I walked over to the Pharmacy under the consultation sign and one of the pharmacist came over and asked what I needed. I told him what I was feeling and suggested what I should take. Explained what the differences was with the other medication and I was off.
I give this place 4 stars because it seemed like their prices was a bit high or so it seemed. I usually get my stuff from CVS or target.

I’ve always been more of a fan of CVS, but had a massive headache and just dropped by Walgreens b/​c it was the closest pharmacy/​drugstore. It’s really easy to find what you’re looking for at this location. Everything is well organized and there’s huge signs just in case you don’t automatically find what you’re looking for.
The shelves are well stocked and everything is well organized making for a seamless trip. The only downside to this place is that they don’t have enough cashiers and the lines get pretty long. Other than there isn’t too much to hate about Walgreens, but then again there isn’t anything spectacular about it either.
