Walgreens

It’s a Walgreens, so you know what you’re getting into. They have a good selection of over-​the-​counter medicine, plus cosmetics, snack food, and a bunch of other random products that I generally ignore. The main thing here is the pharmacy, which I’ve found to be excellent. The pharmacists now recognize me, are careful to advise me about my medications, and were actually able to catch some drug interactions that my doctor missed. It also doesn’t hurt that you can order medication refills using the Walgreens app.

I just wanted to say that the young lady who works in cosmetics is lovely. I came in last week and was browsing shampoo… she approached me and asked if I needed help and told me to come to her register instead of waiting in line up front when I was ready. Super sweet and helpful. I really don’t know how great it is but it had the shampoo I wanted and her customer service was 5 stars!

This Walgreens has its stuff together. Management must be doing their job. I like this place, its my go to snack shop. They frequently have deals like 2 regular size candy bars for $ 1.00. They don’t often have deals on the chips, but the selection is somewhat decent. The store is usually pretty clean but I don’t know if that’s due to the employees or the clientele.
I’ve also had really good experiences with the pharmacy. They are really professional and they’ve always been quick getting people through the line and they always tell you everything you should know without sounding like they’re reading off a script.

ZERO… Gary the lead pharmacist is usually very sharp and had much respect for him.
However, after having at least a half dozen other issues with the remaining «RUDE» pharmacy staff, I finally let my displeasure be known. I was a little rough and felt bad enough to even apologize, which is rare in itself! Yet after coming in to request something completely benign and being greeted with what was again rude and almost mocking behavior. I was again somewhat aggressive in my questioning about the Knowledge of this staff member, but never even came close to anything but mild frustration. Which if I m not mistaken, is not against the law and my right as a paying customer! Then 2 days later I get a call from the once respected Gary, informing me they were refusing to provide services to me anymore. PFFFFT! SUCK IT!
I again questioned what exactly I had done wrong. I had been patient long enough and was tired of shoddy service… this is my right… I am a disable veteran and I served for a free society… Now the female pharm and her work partner of similar senses… obviously told Gary I was much angrier than I was with my benign request, and he believed it, so he called me, and infuriated me with his denial of services… and yes I let Gary have it! I even talked to the young manager that has seen me use this store for nearly 14 years, who confirmed that I had always been respectful and polite.
So… I went in and told Gary and the other Pharmacy in front of a whole group of patients how shitty they were and that it was their inept staff that made too many mistakes and were rude too many times, threw some shit of the counter and said fuck you! Because this is a free country and there are pharmacy’s on every corner. I only let them fill my dogs medicine anyways… and if Iam going to be banned from a shitty pharmacy I wanted to earn it! So, if you want a headache getting your meds filled… go here!

Useless employees (not including the pharmacy, which I do not use). They didn’t seem to know where anything was. All three employees I encountered couldn’t crack a smile or greet me back. I was given a vague answer to finding a product about how it was over there at the end. End of which aisle or near what would have helped, so I aimlessly wandered around the store looking for something. The check out clerk seemed more interested in something else far off, as did the floor staff. It’s like they were all zombies. The popcorn was cheaper than CVS and those little carts are fun to run around with in the store.

Walking in I saw the «now hiring» sign and I got a little nervous. I admit I walked in thinking «GREAT! No one is going to be able to help me, they are short staffed.» I walked straight to the make up section to grab what I needed. To my surprise a lady working smiled and asked how she could assist me. After finding what I needed I walked over to pick up some photos I had ordered. Standing behind the counter was another lady smiling and ready to assist me. Great customer server, attentive and if they were short staffed it was hardly noticeable.

Nicest lady at the cosmetics area, she was very helpful. I absolutely love their returns no question asked on makeup, very helpful for picking out the wrong shade of foundation and being able to exchange it.

Every employee at this location has great customer service and are eager to assist at all times. The pharmacy is always confirming our medications in a timely manner and informing us of changes.

Don’t develop your photos here — poor quality!

Got photos printed here. They did a good job in printing. Colors came out beautifully. It was quick too. Might try them again.

75% off of Christmas stuff! Hell yeah! I bought a bunch of Xmas cards to send to my coworkers for next year, and wrapping paper for all the gifts I’m buying for my buddies!

Pharmacy is really awesome at this location! They are very attentive, they are helpful, and usually work quickly! I do wish there was a drive through, but I will come here anyway!

I came here to rent a movie from red box, most of the tine there is only one person in the front, so if u need help u need to wait long time. So its good pkace to get movie or milk, if u need more then that. Its little bit harder.

This walgreens really needs to do an upgrade, very outdated and always a super long wait to check out in the front. Not to mention always a ton of homeless Always hustling for money as you go in too. Not my most favorite Walgreens.

I have been a costumer of this Walgreens since before I could drive. I have lived in San Jose my entire life and this Walgreens is conveniently located off the freeway and near my home so I usually pick this location for prescriptions.
The problems I have with this Walgreens over the years is:
1. The interior is never updated and it seems kinda ghetto. I know it is your typical drug store but I feel they could update the interior to make it look a little nicer since it is located on the outskirts of Willow Glen
2. The cashiers are super slow. They hire a bunch of older women for check out and these women take forever. I am not trying to discriminate against age but when your age is getting in the way of your ability to do your job, I think it is time to retire or be place in a different location of the job.
3. The pharmacists are rude and are super slow. I have seen them be rude not just with me but with other customers. It surprises me how they think they can talk to people just because we are purchasing our meds from these people. They too are also older so I believe it goes with age since they happen to all be older as well which I think causes them to take longer in fulfilling prescriptions.
I have picked up my prescriptions numerous times from these place and each time I am waiting at the desk forever to be addressed or even for them to get my meds. I am tired of waiting 15 minutes on my lunch breaks. Today I just left the line and I am going to have my meds moved to a different location, maybe one the one downtown. Yes, I rather shop at the one where the lady was killed with the samurai sword than shop here again.

Just learned about coupons and coupon stacking. Can you tell I am very, very bored with a baby in sleepy WG?
I always suspected the cashier of stealing my register rewards in the past, but I never cared. Now that I understand the system and want my bonuses, I watched the cashier blantantly look at the Catalina printer coupons and hand me my receipt without them. She tried to hurry me along by telling the next customer to step up. I stared her down and asked if I could have them. (Not all employees are on the take. The Asian dude is nice and the cashier in cosmetics always gives me the RRs.)
Look, not a big deal, but some of the register rewards are $ 10. That’s a lot of free product she can scam all day long.

My immune system hates me lately… so though I’ve never realized this, the importance of a pharmacy that is close to your home could be lifesaving when you are running a fever, having a tooth ache and goo coming out of your nose.
The pharmacists at this Walgreens are consistently friendly — helpful and positive attitudes! They are very clear in giving medical instructions and telling you which medicine you should take for the symptoms. Also, getting medicines here is FAST. I am usually out of there within 15 minutes, from dropping off my prescription to picking up, paying and getting instructions.
I love the neighborhood-​y feel of this Walgreens Pharmacy. They remember me and what drugs I’ve been prescribed previously, so they tell me what I should be careful about when taking certain medications!
Can’t say enough good things about these great people!

This Walgreens is my local pharmacy. It’s your run of the mill Walgreens. What stands out about this Walgreen’s is the staff. Everyone in the pharmacy department is extremely nice, quick and professional.

We came here looking for soup and some random hardware item that the boy needed. I dunno. I don’t fix stuff, I make other people do it.
They didn’t have my soup, but had cute little black padlocks which I hadn’t seen before. Win!
Their shelf items were in pretty small amounts, and thus when there’s a sale they clean out as to be expected from a small Walgreens, but this one was older looking and staler than usual, with the registers in aisle style.
I’d rather take the trek to Safeway. A few minutes longer for a better variety.

Walgreens is good place to come if you need Almond Roca, Snuggies or the latest As-​Seen-​On-​TV item. You can get in and out of this Walgreens quick – even if there’s a line and parking is easy. The store is clean and clerks are friendly.
I come here for the Redbox ($ 1 DVD vending machine inside the store) and the great photo department. You can upload your photos online and pick them up at Walgreens an hour later. You can create photo collages (which make great gifts) in minutes. In a hurry, you can buy a frame from Walgreens and you have an instant «thoughtful» gift. But if you really want to give someone a meaningful present – buy the frame somewhere else. Walgreens frames are cheaply constructed.
