Walgreens

It is hard to review an entire store. I decide to give this store a 5 star because of its staff.
I remember one time shopping for sunglasses, but didn’t see any in the store. I asked the cashier, and he allowed me into the back of the store to look at their stock of sunglasses. They did not have to do that; they could have just said there are none in the shelves. But they went above any beyond. I bought three sunglasses that day.

I give this place a 1 star and if I could I would give it a ZERO! Their drive thru SO Called pharmist are extremely rude!!! Only good thing about this place is that it’s 24 hours other then the Not a friendly Walgreen’s at all!!! And the other good thing about this place is the drive thru.

Went to pick up a late night prescription for pain medicine for my broken hand. 30 minute wait; no problem. I will walk around to take my mind off of the pain. Harassed and followed by the manager. Other shoppers were not treated that way. Took my business elsewhere.

Agree worst pharmacy ever. The Indian woman pharmacist is rude and arrogant. Never notified us that medication was unavailable. We will gladly take our business elsewhere.

Pharmacy ops you need to get it together. Yesterday I waited in line for 20 minutes while all four pharmacists searched for one lost prescription while ignoring the long line of customers… only to find out that you had not filled my prescription because you hadn’t heard back from the dr office. No phone call warning. Today I am back waiting for drive through. And waiting… so long that the passengers in front of me just got out to take a walk. Meanwhile my kid is waiting for me to pick her up from school. Not cool Walgreens.

The worse pharmacy EVER! I will go to the wagreens on Broadway in millbrae instead. They have repeatedly messed up on my prescription. Once, even forgot to give me a bottle of medicine from my prescription. The last time I went here, which will be the last time I ever go there, I personally dropped my prescription off through the drive thru at 10am and was told my medicine would take 20mins so I went home and went to pick it up at 2pm before I headed off to work and they had no idea where my prescription was. Even went on to tell me that my doctor sent it to another Walgreens. How would that be if I personally dropped it off myself? He went to the back and figured out whatever happened and told me it would be 15 more minutes only I couldn’t wait because that would make me late for work so I had to come back AGAIN. There has been too many situations here. The staff here is slow, unorganized, rude and very unprofessional

Great customer service in the pharmacy.
My wife and I needed to get yellow fever shots for a cruise. This Walgreens is one of the few locations rthat have the vaccine in stock.
As we are over 65 years of age our primary care physicians had to give their OK’s. The pharmacist handled this and followed up with the considerable paperwork and then the shots.
The pharmacist (Uva?) handled all of the details cheerfully and with efficiency.
She really made us feel welcome and appreciated our business.

That’s for the clerk at the pharmacy. Definitely attitude and bad service. Takes so long for a darn pre-​natal vitamins. Really? Does it take that long for pre-​natal vitamins?
It is just not me who said this about their pharmacy. There are more Unilocal reviews that highlights the bad service that they get from the pharmacy section. Overall, I would come here for little things here and there but that’s about it. Nothing else. I would rather go to the one in the city.

This review is of the Pharmacy only:
Bad customer service! Clerk said I did not have insurance, I was certain I did. I immediately called my insurance company and confirmed then I went back into the store and told the rep that I had just confirmed with the insurance company and for him to call a specific number to re-​confirm on his end. The rep continued to disagree with me so I walked next door to the CVS Pharmacy and got my prescription filled with no issues — oh and BTW, CVS Pharmacy in Millbrae had great customer service!

This location had what I was looking for.

Horrible customer service from Alma, she help at the photo department today and there is only one word to describe her «rude» I waited almost 5 mins before she came over to help me and guess what she was doing while I was waiting, STOCKING ITEMS in the isle. I guess she just likes to make customers wait. She did not greet me or said thank you, and the only vibe I felt was ATTITUDE! These kind of people needs to find another job where they don’t have to deal with customers because apparently she doesn’t have any customer service skills!

Don’t get your prescriptions filled here, they take forever and a half! If need be, you should definitely make sure it’s ready before you head in to pick up. I almost wonder if the drive-​thru is faster?

Walgreens,
What the heck only $ 20 cash back?

Needed some meds at 11PM otherwise it would have been an extremely long night. Thank goodness for old trusty Walgreens being open ²⁴⁄₇

Walgreens — has everything I need and nothing I don’t. The buy-one-get-one-50%-off makeup does not hurt either… I realized, DON’T GET THESE BRANDS AT TARGET! Way cheaper here. Even the advertised price can be less, therefore making the 50% product EVEN CHEAPER.
Of course compared to Sephora, Target seems to have miracle prices. But seriously, don’t forget about Walgreens.

Pharmacy: 4 stars
Store: 2 stars
Why is it that whenever I go to the photo counter, there is never anyone there? Never. They call for someone and then it always takes like 5 minutes or longer before someone comes over. It’s just frustrating.

Only a handful of Walgreens carry my favorite bagged popcorn — Popcorn, Indiana’s Movie Theater Popcorn — and this just happens to be one of them! That alone warrants 5 stars.
This Walgreens reminds me of my parents house because of all the Asian items they carry, such as pickled plums and bamboo plants.
Parking is convenient. Staff is nice. And they seem to be fully stocked. We got everything we needed here. A+ in my book.

I always go to Walgreen’s to get shaving cream or cold medicine and I walk out of there with candy, gun, cigs, gadgets and it’s ridiculous. I know this before I leave for Walgreen’s b/​c it happens almost every single time, but I still bring my Visa card and wallet into the store with me. I think it’s time to walk in the place with 20 bucks in my pocket and that’s it!
Pharmacy takes forever most of the time, even though they give you the standard come back in 15 minutes line.

Probably the best Walgreen’s I’ve been too. The store is smaller and may lack some of the items that bigger stores have like Westlake and downtown San Mateo, but this location is well-​kept, neat, and the employees are so friendly. Makes me kind of wish I lived near it; I rarely get help at the one near me and sometimes it seems hard to even flag someone down; one of the managers even messed up on an exchange once. so I only go there if I must and can’t go to another one. I’ve noticed that this one spits out more coupons than other locations I’ve been too as well. They also frequently have clearance items for you bargain shoppers.
Mauricio the photo head is a perfectionist with his pictures; if he is even remotely unhappy with the finished product; he’ll re-​do it. gotta love that! Also, if he knows that you’re still in the store; he’ll page you when your pictures are done instead of having to wait.

Are all Walgreens not open twenty four hours anymore?
Guess not.
Other than that the staff was extremely nice for it being nearly midnight am.
I didnt have to get much. A new box of band aids for my crippled toe is all. Pretty seamless operation.
There were tons of noise making Halloween decorations. Why do they put so many out? My boyfriend, and Im sure everyone elses as well, MUST turn on every one at the same time.
The cashier was super friendly. He didnt get off until one and had to be at another job by four am. Kind of makes you wonder why people have to work so hard.
Basically it was a really nice, clean, well kept place and I was pleased to not run into any issues.
