Walgreens

No longer 24 Hours. Now open 8 A.M. til 11 P.M. The Rite-​Aid across the street by Haggen’s (which is out of business) is open all night, for now.

I use this store regularly & it is my favourite Walgreens! The manager I’ve dealt with has always been helpful & knowledgeable! She has gone out of her way to help me. A few months ago I brought my camera’s disk in to burn DVDs with all the pics. I can’t remember why, but I prepaid, & for some reason my card wouldn’t work in their machine. Ultimately, I didn’t get back to the store to get my refund & then I forgot about it. The manager phoned me, said she’d had to give me a gift card because Of the time that had passed. She was super nice about it & she always knows how each department works & can answer all my questions! All the other employees have been great too!

The pharmacy here has terrible customer service. There is always a line of frustrated people and the maximum of two pharmacy staff is never enough to adequately serve the customers. They have a drive-​through line and a walk-​up line and the drivers always seem to be served first (why they would cater to someone waiting in a vehicle vs. waiting in the store is beyond me). I’ve been there at various days and various times of day, and the situation is always the same. If they don’t have the capacity to serve their clients, they should shut down their pharmacy. There are plenty of others in the area. I moved my prescriptions elsewhere.
No disrespect intended towards the rest of this Walgreens’ staff (outside the pharmacy), who are cordial and efficient.

Unless you are a member of the Walgreens club and consent to their constant «targeted» advertising, they pass on a nice 70% markup on the posted price. Went in for a pair of insoles, found some that said $ 9.99 on the tag, no mention of a members only price, but at checkout it was $ 16.99.
Thanks, I will be sure to never go to any Walgreens again

When the elderly, beauty lady has a box of clipped coupons and she saves you $ 5 on your $ 20 purchase, you just want to hug her. I told her I’d write her a Unilocal review instead. She clips the coupons herself and has a full organized and labeled box at her cashier. You go girl!

I moved to the area from close in southeast and they transferred all my Rx which I expected but they were actually friendly about it. BUT today was the icing on the cake. I went in to get three Rx filled for my elderly father. This location didn’t have one of them and the pharmacist tracked it down at another location not to far away and arranged for it to be waiting for me since I needed all of them today. Then I didn’t have the complete insurance information for my dad and he figured that out too. The front staff were also very friendly and calm.

This is by far the WORST Pharmacy I have ever used as I have had multiple bad experiences. Last time I had my prescription filled there I called 4 days before my pickup to have it filled. I pull up to pick it up and it’s not ready even though they said it would be ready the day before. This time I called on a Friday and my script needed Dr authorization which was fine because I don’t need it until Tuesday. They said they would fax my dr. So I call Monday and it’s not filled which was ok. BUT I called my dr on Tuesday to double check and they hadn’t even contacted them to refill it. I had two other previous bad experiences involving the same exact thing. So if you like your prescriptions on time don’t go to this Walgreens.

Officially declaring this my favorite Walgreens in Portland Metro.
Bold statement, I know. Bob M may be boiling up a secret potion to halt my praise as I type this.
The staff at this location are amazing. Above and beyond helpful. This particular pharmacy runs a tight ship, too. They know me. These are my people. Friendly as all get out. Awesome sales. Solid reward program.
Walgreens: I love you.

I would like to send a huge thank you to the pharmacy staff at Walgreens. I have been a regular customer for almost 2 years. In the past year I lost my health insurance and have been paying my prescription costs about every 4 days at roughly 35 bucks a pop. It was annoying, but I couldn’t afford to buy it all at once at such a high cost.
I hope that the pharmacy doesn’t get into any trouble for this, because I wont be filling that prescription with you anymore.
Its sad to say that they actually knew me as a «regular» because I was there so often and they knew I didn’t have health insurance. Well, yesterday I got a call back from the pharmacy after I had called in my partial refill. Apparently the pharmacist had called Costco to see about the prescription costs over there. I didn’t even know that Costco had a pharmacy!
Long story short, your pharmacist has incredibly made a huge impact on my life. I will be saving hundreds of dollars a month and will probably be able to afford health insurance now, or make payments on my student loans!
Thank you so much for really taking the time to care about your customers. This random act of kindness will seriously change my financial situation greatly, and probably change my life!
Seriously… thanks so much.

Walgreens; open 24 hours, because you never know when you may need answers to life’s little questions. Or the big one’s too!
It was Sunday night, and I strolled (possibly sauntered, might have even moseyed) into my local Walgreen’s. I had just finished grabbing a quick pint at the Skybox while catching the end of the football game, but I had trouble following the gridiron action that night. My mind was elsewhere. See, the unexplained absence of a regular visitor brought forth a level of uncertainty to our home. There was a life altering question hanging in the air, and lacking any semblance of patience, I was in dire need of an answer, and had no intention of waiting.
Locating the correct aisle, I offered a quick smile to the attractive red head looking to make a similar purchase, but kept it to just that as the look of consternation on her face relayed that fact that it probably wasn’t the most apropos time for my patented witty banter.
Wow, the selection was extemely limited, and from the giant holes on the shelves, it appeared as if there had been a run on several brands. I guess with Artic Blast ’08 keeping many fine folks indoors with nothing better to do then bump uglies, I wasn’t the only one looking for a quick answer.
The purchase was made quickly, with minimal but pleasant chit chat with the clerk at the register. I think she may have sensed my urgency to get home.
First, let me say that I’ve always done well on tests. I’ve never really had to study before hand, yet always received high marks. But this one was different. I wasn’t going to receive a traditional letter grade, heck, I wouldn’t even be taking the test myself. This was strictly a pass /​no pass system. Yes or no. Black and White. With or without.
And the results?
Plus.
As in not a negative.
As in Positive.
Or in Unilocal speak… a permanent «plus one».
Say what? Could this really be true? After 36 years on this planet, this was one test I NEVER received a «positive» grade on. Surely, my mind raced, the ramifications of these results will be felt all over Portland. Beer sales will plummet, strippers will no longer be able to afford «Grad School» and dealers will soon be taking Tri-​Met while debauchery & mayhem in this fine city will certainly subside. Oh the humanity!!!
Other questions quickly arose. Will the TLB need to now be known as the TLBM… the Tall Leggy Baby Mamma (or even the Tall Leggy Baby Machine)? More ominously, will I finally have to grow up?
Does the future hold biting reviews of Baby’s R Us, birthing centers and diaper services? Rants on improper breathing techniques by snarky Lamaze class instructors (and trust me, heavy breathing in a room with glowing happy strangers is the last thing I want to do… well unless it involved some naked hotness)? Will I be creating new lists of (god forbid) family friendly restaurants, when for ages I have happily been the antithesis of family friendly?
And most importantly, is this big ball of twisted anxiety, askew ideas and uncongenial snarkiness really ready to be a baby daddy?
The answer is a resounding, «Hell yeah!»
Bring it on I say, because beneath this crispy façade of crazed depravity and biting commentary resides a gooey center filled with love, passion and a lust for life. You might even find some candy, flowers and cute ass teddy bears in there too… just don’t tell anyone, I wouldn’t want it to sully my quickly fading rock star persona.
At least not yet. I’ve still got 7 ½ months before the arbiter of debauchery turns into a big baby daddy of love.
