Walgreens

«Meh. I’ve experienced better.» A very accurate summary of this particular Walgreens. It’s a convenient location for me so I’ve found myself in here several times already, but convenience is the only thing that keeps me coming back.
The location is a little iffy… loooots of people loitering/​sitting around outside at nighttime. Currently this Walgreens is undergoing a remodel, so when I popped in recently to grab a gift bag and card, they had nothing. That whole section was just completely vacant… So weird. I’m used to running into Walgreens for all my last minute needs.
There is a parking lot around the side, which is nice. And so far their pharmacy has been reliable, although last time I went in for a pick-​up the line was INCREDIBLY LONG with sick people coughing all around me. Not anyone’s fault, just busy. But still unpleasant.
Hopefully my future experiences will get better and the remodel goes well (and happens soon).

Avoid this store.
Generally, I think Walgreens is a well run company and really convenient so I try to use Walgreens frequently for quick supply stops and prescriptions. This location, however, is not good.
Prescriptions: I’ve never once had an issue with a prescription at Walgreens — except for this location. And its been screwed up multiple times.
Staffing: The employees here are nice but they’re understaffed and there’s always a line a mile long and prescriptions are never ready at the time quoted. The staff here turns over frequently too… I rarely ever see an employee here more than once. I’m not sure if that’s the cause of the issues here or a symptom of it but its noticeable that its always someone new.
Location: It’s conveniently located but the property is a bit dicey. There’s always shenanigans going on the parking lot… People passed out, people looking for money or beer and some lurkers that scare me. There doesn’t appear to be any security or attempt to watch this lot. I’m a 6’1 tall, over 200 lbs guy and I still feel unsafe in this parking lot. Watch your surroundings here.
This store is always dirty. Its in dire need of a refresh and a good scrubbing.

Staff is incredibly rude. I realize it’s right on Colfax and they probably have to deal with a lot of difficult characters and theft, but that’s no reason to be rude to everyone who walks in.
I was spoken to and treated like a thief because I asked them to unlock a few skin care products. The salesgirl asked me if I needed to get anything else, then directed me to go get it before she would give me what I’d come to buy.
I understand policies and am generally fine with them, but her attitude and tone were downright rude and condescending. Won’t come back — I’d rather deal with the Target on Colorado.

The pharmacy staff is polite courteous and punctual however after walking outside the store took a hit of my tobacco they pan was told not to smoke on premises and apologized to walk to my vehicle The manager continue to harass yell and scream at me while smoking inside of my vehicle threatening to call the cops and just blatantly being rude would not allow me to pick up my medication upon return had to file complaint with corporate would not recommend the store to anyone

Worst pharmacy service I’ve ever experienced. Rude techs and pharmacists. Unknowledgeable about LGBTQ healthcare and insensitive. I’ve had to come here 4 times just to pick up one prescription. 4 times… and each time I’m greeted with employees that just don’t give a damn about me. Stay away if you’re LGBTQ or you just plain want some decent service.

Typically end up here on a weekend afternoon or a week night. The line always looks incredibly long, but usually it moves along quickly. The staff is usually friendly and helpful, too! Large selection of products including snacks!

They told me I owed $ 35 per prescription instead of the correct $ 15 because they were entering it as a vaccination. One of their employees who fixed it clued me in to this fact. This was only after I’d overpaid three times at this place.
I have waited in line for up to a half hour, both at the pharmacy line and the photo line.
Now, I go to Scales. Never a line. Immediately charged the right amount.

Terrible customer service at the pharmacy. They got my medicine wrong and told me I had to wait an extra month to get my meds. I wouldn’t suggest using this Walgreens as a pharmacy. They’re also incredibly rude and the line is always really long.

This Walgreens location is in my backyard, literally. I really like the fact that its so close to me because there isn’t another one nearby. The crowd outside of the store you just have to ignore and get used to because. well its Colfax. I also really appreciate that they’re open 24 hours a day. It’s SUPER convenient, especially given the area with not much in comparison to Walgreens nearby.
Sometimes they do seem understaffed, but recently (as in a few days ago) I saw the regular cashiers training new staff members. I’ve never had a negative experience at this Walgreens with cashiers or staff members. The staff in the beauty area is always super friendly and helpful when you least expect it. I also LOVE the deals that they have weekly on their products.
Since this is my one and only neighborhood Walgreens, I can say that I will be back in the future to visit.

Not my typical Walgreens, however if it’s on the way it’s conveniently located on Colfax if you are coming or going from downtown.
I’m not a frequent customer at this location but it carries the same items as all the other Walgreens. There is a private parking lot on the side and around back for easy access. If I needed something at an odd hour this Walgreens would be just fine since they offer 24 hour access, although this part of Colfax is a little sketchy (as stated by Nicole W.) and would certainly be an experience at midnight. There is also an ATM inside if you find yourself needing more than just plastic.
Overall, a fine Walgreens to pick up those one off items that you forget about until you need them (damn batteries).

I have been to this pharmacy twice and have no intention of going back. The lines are long because it seems every person in line has a ridiculous issue with how they processed the insurance or what is covered. They were typing my insurance number in wrong and kept showing I was not covered. I’m going back to my speedy, reliable, personable Safeway pharmacy.
The Walgreens store otherwise is okay but carts and ladders seem to always be in the way. As a person in a knee brace and previously crutches, it’s a hassle and a bit of a danger.

Bobbie was awesome! Saved our lives! My best friend and I were in late last night and some guys a block away basically ran us into Walgreens. She was awesome. Totally made sure we were ok.

I came in at 12:30 to get prescriptions filled for my daughter. I was told to come back at 3 for one of them, because it was a compound. When I got there at 4 to pick it up, it wasn’t ready. I was then told by a different pharmacist that for half the price of the scrip, just to mix a couple of OTC meds. Why couldn’t the 1^st pharmacist have told me that? It would have saved me an extra hour out of my day and gotten the medicine to my sick kiddo that much sooner. They really need to hire more competent staff in their pharmacy. It feels like there’s always a line and it’s at least a half hour wait.

I am new to town and after giving this Pharmacy a try on two different occasions, I can guarantee I will not be coming back. Clearly under staffed and beyond slow, service.

Walgreen’s is a bad neighbor and leaves gang graffiti up. The outside of the store looks awful. I have asked them in the past to remove the graffiti, and the manager promised me it would be removed, and it is still all over the property. It would take them a total of 5 minutes a week to cover up the graffiti, but apparent that is too much for Walgreen. Shows much they care.

This is the Walgreens I use for all my pharmacy related stuff. They’re open ²⁴⁄₇ as well which is a huge plus for my strange schedule. It’s also quick and easy to grab some soda or snacks at night after those crazy night parties. Haha.

This review is strictly for the pharmacy. This morning I stopped by to pick up my prescription and my first impression of the lady that helped me is she seemed really confused and tired. She wasn’t able to locate my prescription the doctor sent over electronically. I really needed my inhaler. I left because she seemed unwilling to help any further.
I should have switch pharmacies at that moment but no Decided to drive back after work. On the way my coughing was uncontrollable and caused me to get seriously sick on the way. When I arrive the prescription is ready but something’s wrong with my insurance. The lady with blue hair (what happen to dress code?!) hands me my card and tells me to call the number on the back of the card. I ask if she can call and she says no you call. Then the pharmacist steps in and tells her to call. Now I’ve been waiting 45 minutes. She’s on hold while she eats a pink cupcake and chit chats about the power going out in her building, where they live, parking etc. after having worked in a pharmacy myself I believe people working in a pharmacy should have compassion for sick people.
This girl is cold and lacks customer service. Im ready to go elsewhere. I’m sure she’ll be ecstatic to take my call off hold, if she’s really on hold. Never once does she look at me or give me an update.

I come here constantly because I live right nearby, so I consider myself an authority on this particular Walgreen’s. The staff is friendly, but plan on waiting forever for a prescription, regardless of what day or time it is. The pharmacy is flat out ridiculous. Even the most patient person will have a problem waiting this long.
Be prepared to pony up some change or a quick excuse for the bums that surround the store. Actually, just ignore them. These aren’t your average homeless people– they are usually cracked out. Also, they have a loud @ss leaf blower that wakes me up at 7 a.m. about 3 x’s a week. No matter how many times I call and ask them to start later, at a more reasonable time such as 8, because my family is sleeping, they act like they are listening, but they’re not, because nothing changes.

2.5 is more accurate. It is Walgreens on Colfax — you kind of know what you are in for… I don’t recommend going late night or making direct eye contact with anyone loitering outside. When I lived in the area the pharmacy was always a challenge but I was still grateful it was an option for a prescription after a very early morning hospital visit.

Sketchy part of colfax — check
Parking either on colfax and risk your life or pretty darn far from the door and risk your life depending on the time of day — check
But it is 24 hour and when you come from the emergency room at some god awful hour with a scratched cornea and need vicadin stat — well, this is your place!
Staff is pretty friendly, even though they have seen it all!
Line at the pharmacy can get long with all types of insurance, welfare, wic, medicare…
