Walgreens

This review is just for the photo center.
Their photo products are terrible. I’ve given them more than a few chances. Every single time, the finished product is a blurry mess. Save yourself the trouble, don’t even bother.

The Asian Chik that works at the pharmacy was extremely rude and disrespectful and over weight and ugly. She made me wait 30 minutes and said the dr’s handwriting is weird so she had to call and never did I walked in their 3o minutes later no progress no aknowledgment so I will never go there again. And some dickhead asshole was working there too

Mike the pharmacist is not a good person. I am new in the area and i needed some cough syrup. Mike told me he would not fill it because he doesnt know me or my dr. I had my pharmacist who also works at walgreens that i have been using the past 10 years at my old city and Mike still woukd not fill the cough syrup. Will not be back. Definitely not a neighborly place and i will not do business there

This review is for the pharmacy. To preface, I tried this place out since it’s much closer to my apartment and I don’t have the annual membership to Costco anymore so I rarely visit the pharmacy inside the Costco that I used to go to. Anyway, a male pharmacist took my prescription but asked me why I was changing locations. I gave him a short answer and told him since this pharmacy was much closer to my place. He seemed very skeptical of my prescription and suggested that I take my order back to Costco since Walgreens would have to order this for me. He was very short with me and extremely reluctant to help me with my order. I left and went to the Rite Aid pharmacy across the street which was 100 times more helpful even though they would also have to place an order for me. I understand the stigma associated with my medication, but I can assure you that I’m not trying to abuse the system here. The service at this Walgreens pharmacy was really insensitive and felt judgy for no reason. I visit this Walgreens for school stuff and little things, but I won’t be going here for anything anymore.

What’s the point of having an instant self serve photo center if it’s never working or turned on?

Other Unilocalers have griped that this is the worst pharmacy they’ve ever been to. I think this Walgreens is better than the average chain pharmacy. There are other chain pharmacies that are much worse; one of them is just across the street from this one! Try your luck there and I’m sure you’ll be back to this one. Any complaint I would have with this Walgreens would be the clientele.
The staff are good folks, and the pharmacy is rarely if ever out of stock for a prescription I need filled (again, a lot more I can say for the pharmacy across the street).

Worst Walgreen ever. Rude cashiers, pharmacist lose prescriptions, never have them done even though they say they do, manager never does anything about thier rudeness, etc. Don’t go there

Thank you for improving your customer service

This pharmacy loses and misplaces prescriptions all the time. very rude staff. they swear at you for no reason, stand around talking when they should help the customer. Pharmacy manager does nothing about it. Check your meds when you pick them up as some of them r the wrong meds or doseage.

As soon as you walk through these doors, someone is greeting you. Great staff!!! I’am always being helped, selections are easy to find, even the clearance items! It’s normally clean, unlike what others are saying. I come into this place on a weekly basis, most satisfied.
However, the only reason it didn’t get 5 stars is because I do have to wait for my prescriptions, sometimes about an hour. Not because it’s not ready, but because of the long line of patients. My only suggestion is two pharmacist during evening shift instead of one. Their techs are amazing, and they’re always helpful.
Overall…great store, great employees. Keep up the good work!!!

Just shoot me now. I’d rather gonto the er. It seems they treat everybody like thugs. Not very helpful there and good luck having someone who knows enough about anything that could save you any time.

The typical Walgreens… nothing special or unique about this location beside discovering the AS IS section which had some serious discounted items.
Shelves were very organized and the staff, very friendly.
Great location between 2 intersections so easy accessible from either streets (Anaheim or Redondo)

I like the place; however they are outrageously priced on cosmetics, hair care and more. It’s odd because they have competitors right across the street! Some prices there are just ridiculous! Don’t care to go there… can go tight across the street n buy for way cheaper, duh! Bye. I M out!

Waited like half an hour to just get two photos. They were supposed to be done when I showed up and when I did they weren’t even printed and they were behind. I wish that when I showed up I wouldn’t known how bad this photo center was. Nobody knew how to do anything and there was no specific photo person in house.

Never again as of tomorrow I’m transferring all my prescriptions.
I received notice that my prescription was ready for pickup and drove 5 miles out of my way to pick it up. When I arrived at the store the pharmacy was closed with a sign that they were closed for lunch and would be open at 2:00 a half an hour later. There was NO mention about being closed for lunch in the email I was sent nor is there any mention of this on their website. When I need medicine I want a REAL pharmacy not a mini-​mart with a part time pharmacy. So, I had to leave without my prescription.
This is from the email:
Pharmacy Hours
Mon-​Fri 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM
Sat 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Sun 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Got to go again and fill a prescription

Whenever I walk in the doors Im immediately greeted. Good selection and helpful staff.
The staff in the pharmacy are always great! I never wait long and they always have what I need in stock. This is the #1 reason why I come to this location– keep it up guys!
Everyone who is hating on this store because its «dirty» needs to relax. Its an older store in not the best of neighborhoods, its not the staffs fault the outside public sidewalk needs to be power washed…

they got my rx wrong
forget customer service
forget cleanliness
forget location
forget simple and fast
THEY GOT MY RX WRONG

I am really beginning to loathe Walgreens. When they first came to Long Beach I was very impressed, and happy to have an alternative to CVS and Rite Aid, but they’ve sunk about as low as their competition in my esteem.
I rarely find what’s on my list whever I shop here. Ever. They put their ad in my Sunday paper, and when I hit the sale, they’re out of almost everything. And then they act like I’m asking for a damn kidney when I ask for a rain check. Why the hell does the manager have to be paged out of his hole just to come out and write a raincheck?
And the cashiers! I can’t believe they allow most of them to handle money. One of them actually left to get a calculator to figure out what half of $ 2.99 was. Good Lord. And good luck if you’re using Register Rewards or coupons. It’s like the Keystone Kops. Register Rewards expire in two weeks. The Extra Bucks at CVS expire in 4 weeks.
Also check the expiration dates of the items you buy! Several times I’ve had to return things because I didn’t realize they were expired. But Wags isn’t alone in this. Both CVS and Rite Aid often sell expired products.

If it’s something simple and you need it fast, this is the place.
Walgreens is Walgreens, and this one serves the purpose of any other. I really like that it’s 24 hour so when I really want candy at 3am, it’s within a walk’s time.
I wouldn’t go so far to say that the staff is helpful, but there is definitely one employee who is very, very friendly and truly shows that she knows a thing or two about customer service. I actually enjoy my visit there when she’s working.
