Walgreens

This review is purely for the pharmacy. The other staff at this location have always been pleasant, but the pharmacy experience is worse than going to the post office and the DMV combined.
I have never worked so hard to be a customer and to get my prescriptions. I changed to a 90 day supply so I didn’t have to go in too frequently, but that was still too painful. It’s unfortunate that Walgreens has such amazing technology with their cutting edge pharmacy app, but then the employees completely ruin what could be a good experience. I’m not sure why they make it harder on themselves than they need to or if it’s requirement to be an asshole to work there, but I suggest finding a new pharmacy or just ordering online like I will be doing from here on out.

This review is ONLY for the manager on duty tonight May 24 around 8:30pm. Such rude unprofessional service, I am still in disbelief. There was only one register open and a line formed while waiting for the manager to ring me up. He was definitely within eyesight because he kept looking at us and the boy at the register even called him so we know he was evading the registers. After he finished talking to a customer leisurely he then walked off with a 6 pack of beer. Which, with a LINE of customers, definitely should and could have waited. Then? Oh, he walked up to our register extremely slow and did not even say hi or thank us (or anyone) for waiting. He simply scanned his badge and our bottle of wine and walked away. It was the worst interaction I have had at a Walgreens. I don’t require much but if I have been waiting for over 10 minutes and you are the manager, the least you can do is acknowledge my existence. HORRIBLE MANAGER.
I will say that the two boys working the registers were very sweet and the only part of my trip to Walgreens that I enjoyed. They should be the managers since they actually seemed happy to be there.

Sometimes you need some shampoo and all that is open is a Walgreens. Why doesn’t this Walgreens have a Chase ATM like every other Walgreens in the US of A?

It’s not always horrible, it’s not always great. It’s a chain pharmacy with prices that fall on the spendy side but 3 times out of 5 you can get in and out without 26 people ahead of you. So you pay a bit more for that occasional convenience.
They’ve introduced a litany of store brand food items and some cheap ass beer. I haven’t tried the beer, but for $ 3 per 6-​pack how bad could it be (hint: bad)?
Will they treat you like a child when you pick up the same RX you’ve gotten 41 times before? Yes. That’s corporate policy and they are CA, don’t take it personally.

everytime I go to this store I have a better day, this is the friendliest and guenuine staff I have ever met.

This location has the most incompetent and disorganized staff in the history of pharmacies. DO NOT GO HERE unless you want to wait for over an hour only to be told that you can’t be helped. Unbelievable. I was in line behind 10 people today and the staff was unable to help or accommodate any of them (including myself).

I honestly cant believe the unprofessionalism at this location. You expect a certain type of dimeanor from a pharmacy and/​or pharmacist. They have no idea what the heck they’re doing behind that darn counter.
They’ve given me 2 prescriptions that were not mine. My husband went through the drive up. I wasnt able to go and they gave him 3 scripts 2 of which belonged to other people. Thankfully I know what I take. They finally called 3 days later to inform me not to take the other ppls meds! Wow thanks guys I could be dead by now!
They’ve shorted me the last 3 months on my much needed pain medication. Someone back there is not deserving of a license if they cant simply count pills.
Needless to say «I’m done»

They’ve staffed up the pharmacy recently and it is functioning much better. Thanks, Walgreens!

This is my neighborhood Walgreens and even though it can be sketchy sometimes (in the parking lot), they normally have what I need and are fairly fast with my prescriptions. Karen, who works in the cosmetic area, is always helpful and looks for coupons for items I purchase, which I appreciate. Drive-​through for prescriptions is convenient and fairly quick. Overall a decent Walgreens.

The people in the parking lot are enough to make me never come to this Walgreens again. It’s even better when they walk in the store and start talking to little kids they don’t know.
Seriously, so sketchy. Not worth it

I’m soooo done!!!
I live in the neighborhood and love the convenience of this store but the service is poor. They rarely have the medication I need… there always seem to be a screw up and tonight did it for me… I will do out of my way to avoid this store…
My daughter was diagnosed with Strep yesterday… I went to go get the much needed prescription, after a lot of time passing a pharmacist informed that I need 50ml (5 days) worth but the prescription had been written out for 30ml… Then more time passed… I thought they were calling my Doc’s office to get the proper write up… Nooooo they just made 30ml for me and in an unclear way informed me that I need to come back in the next two days to get the rest… uggghhh… I’ve been disappointed before by this Walgreens so I called this morning and asked about the remaining med and asked when I could pick up… The woman told me it would be in around 1pm today… I drove through on my way home from work 8pm and the assistant told me they didn’t have any it wouldn’t be in till tomorrow…
I asked him…“you don’t have any?” …I specifically called today because my daughter’s meds will only be enough for ½ dose tomorrow… is there anything you can do? He just looked at me blankly… I asked to talk to the store manager… he left… left me sitting there for a while… long enough I thought they had forgotten about me… I went inside and told him I wanted to talk to the mgr. She was no help… just said the original pharmacist should have arranged all this and the woman this morning talk me wrong… I asked the mgr. why wasn’t I called… I could have had my doc’s office arrange at another place!!! Finally the pharmacist on duty, Kevin took pity on me and called another pharmacy and got me set up…
Customer service sucks here… except one person… too frustrating to deal with… I will go elsewhere!!!

I recently moved to the neighborhood and switched my prescription to this Walgreens just before leaving town for a week. I got back, was out of pills and went in to pick up. They didn’t have it ready because my dr. didn’t reply to their fax (they had the wrong fax#).
They never called me or the dr. even though they had both #s.
To make matters worse, I waited in lone for 20 minutes to be informed of their lack of pills for me. They didn’t even offer an emergency supply.
I went to Rite-​Aid who managed to get it right and offer me emergency pills when I dropped off. Well done Rite-​Aid. Sorry Walgreens. I’ll be making the longer drive.

I mostly go here to use the Red Box. I actually really do not like Walgreens and this one is for sure not the exception. Anything in a Walgreens you can get at Target… unless you do not want to drive to Target, which is farther. Its a good «oh crap I need deodorant I’ll run over to Walgreens». So I suggest emergancy shoping only.

Walking into this store last night I see a sign saying they close at 10pm. I wonder what time it is and dig out my iPhone, because I left my watch somewhere. While I’m waiting for my old, much abused handheld device to wake the F up I hear: «We close in ONE MINUTE!»
Wow. Screw you, too, lady. Not, «Sorry, we’re closing.» not even, «Hey, we’re about to close.» but «ONE MINUTE!»
Is that helpful information? Can I go all Flash and zip to what I want at supersonic ground speeds, then get to the checkout and complete my transaction in ONE MINUTE!
I just turned around and walked out, gave someone else the money I was going to give to these jerks.

It was convenient to roll in here so I could purchase an AMP before work everyday, and that will always be the only reason I shopped here. $ 2.54 for energy drink + very slow cashiers = «God damn, I wish there was a Fred Meyer that close to my house.»

Usually, I go to a different Walgreens than this one, but I was in the neighborhood, so I decided to stop by since I’m running out of my contacts solutions.
The store was clean, breezy, staff was helpful, but there’s no other customer in the store. They didn’t have the upright freezer cooler where other Walgreens sell cold bottle waters. They don’t have 1 liter Dasani in the bottle.
I guess I’m just use to the other store on SE 39^th where almost all the cashiers recognize me. Usually they hide behind their counters/​cash registers. They are terrified of the crazy coupon lady (point myself) :D. I don’t like to pay full price. I’m frugal not cheap, remember that!

Walgreen’s is a perfectly suitable place to buy a new hairdryer for $ 16.99.
Walgreen’s parking lot is not a suitable place to try to pick up a woman… from your car, no less.
No no.

Walgreens: you’re really here to pick up prescription drugs, but while you’re waiting for that to get filled, why not…
a) get panhandled (again) in the parking lot
b) buy 2 t-​shirts for $ 5
c) explore their seasonal nonsense
d) get some gobstoppers
e) buy $ 50 of other stuff you didn’t need but since you’re waiting…
I like this walgreens, I only wish they were open 24 hours. Pharmacy staff very nice and helpful, but always backed up.
