Walgreens

The store itself is ok. The manager is clueless. The stock is usually expired or about to. Their soda stock is atrocious, Pepsi is usually on point, any others are either way past its expiration, or about to.
Most shelves are half bare from poor stocking, no one except 3 specific employees, help at all.
I have started driving further to the Oblate one, just to avoid the nonsense… I have even gone to the extreme of going to… dare I say… CVS!
Tsk tsk tsk.

While the pharmacy staff is polite, they are extremely slow and inefficient. My midwife called in a prescription hours ago for some pain meds I desperately need. When I called to check on the prescription they said they hadn’t received it but the pharmacist hadn’t yet checked the voicemail box which s/​he supposedly does every hour. My husband came to Walgreens an hour later, they said they hadn’t received the prescription. He pushed them to check their voicemail. Sure enough it was there. They said they needed 2 more hours to fill the prescription. Two hours later we showed up, they asked for profile information and said it would take another hour. What??? I’m 8 months pregnant and pain. No apologies from them though. Fill your prescriptions elsewhere.

I like my neighborhood walgreens. they always have great deals and sales. especially after holidays. and not normal sales. Alot of times they have a whole aisle at 75% off. Cashiers are fast. Pharmacy is the reason for not having 5 stars though. checkout lines are rarely too long. Only complaint is that its not 24 hours… and the pharmacy i sloooow.

By far the slowest pharmacy I’ve ever been to. I thought maybe it was just a fluke or the time of day but I’ve come at several different times and nothing changes. They only have one person working the pharmacy at peak hours. There is no excuse for that. I’ve been getting prescriptions here for 4 years and not once have I gotten my script in a timely manner.

I read some of the earlier reviews and I have to disagree with the general negative vibe. I really like this particular Walgreens. Maybe, it’s because they know me and the husband by name. We’ve lived in this neighborhood for going on 15 years and I guess they’ve just gotten used to us. We’re there a lot — for prescriptions and any other sundry item. There are a couple of long time employees at this store who are always gracious and helpful. So give the place another chance.

A chain is a chain is a chain. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
This is a Walgreens like most others. They don’t have an awesome soda fountain like the location downtown, and they don’t have horrific service like the one up north. So, all in all, this is where I come anytime I need to fill a prescription (bc it’s near my house) or anytime I need a small grocery item but don’t feel like heading into HEB (again, bc it’s near my house.)
They get the job done with no fuss and I’ve never had anything but decent service, so all in all for a Walgreens, I’m gonna guess you’ll have a 3-​star experience like I seem to every time I visit!

OK, first off, I don’t know why Jim’s and Walgreens is cheating the good part of the neighborhood by closing at midnight, but I don’t like it!!!
I guess some seedy people come and go too often. This Walgreens has been on the news several times for robbery and such.
I’ve had several problems with the employees here. First of all, I’ve never been able to fill a prescription because the girl couldn’t figure out how to put a person on hold properly. This was several years ago, but she seriously hung up on me twice.
Another lady, who is still employed here, is freakin Little Miss Grumpy. Every time we try to crack a smile she finds of way of not only NOT smiling, but turns our smiles upside down. «Where’s your rewards card? Your number doesn’t work. Wrong pin.» «That’s not the brand on sale!» «I’ll be with you after I get something in the back. (8 minutes later). Are you ready now??» Really that lady needs to go! Yet she’s there every morning being Little Miss Grumpy, unsupervised, unless maybe she is the supervisor. I shudder to think!
Anyway, the only reason I come to Walgreens is to pick up my pictures. I always order online so I don’t have to deal too much with their terrible customer service. Online photo orders are #1. Its amazing what you can get a photo printed on these days!
