Walgreens

The pharmacy is the worst. They are not helpful. Each employee will give you a different answer. I had my medication pick up at this location. So I went there to pick up my medication and they said the bill to the insurance doesn’t go through. I asked the reason. They couldn’t tell me the reason. They just said call your insurance. So I had to call my health clinic to fallow up with wallgreen and guess what they said. They told my clinic that they just needed to fix something in their system. I ended up being without medication for almost 3 days and I have a bipolar disorder. My condition got worse because skipping the med for 3 days. This was their second time doing that to me. Not going there any more.

The photo center is literally shit. Poor support and no helper. Been here a few time and it take then a long time to get a staffer up. This is just walgreen management trying to cut cost.
Personnel wise and staffers are great though. Very decent and polite people. I just hate that there is only 2 ppl working …

I came to this Walgreens few hours ago around 920pm to be precise looking for a Jack Skellington pillow they have for their The Nightmare before Christmas product. and I had been looking for the pillow all day and in different Walgreens and so this was the last Walgreens I looked in. so I asked an employee if they were going to have anymore product coming in or had in the back and they weren’t sure, but an employee who was behind the register called me over and showed the pillow I was looking and asked ‘is this the one your looking for?’ I said yes that one and says ‘oh well I’m buying the last one’. Really rub it in my face. That’s not good customer service!

Walgreens here has a line and a few spots around the store with close out items. meds not cheap here. looked at battery section. forget to unscrew car key to find battery type needed. finally did it. it’s a mini fat aaa type alkaline.
buys: skinny pop (.50)
–discounted from .65
–bought bigger bag for $ 1 previously at dolllar tree, good stuff.
notes:
–no parking in front
have to walk a bit to get here.

Just my review on the pharmacy — it’s horrible. I chose this pharmacy because it’s close to my home but it’s not even worth it. Every time I go to pickup my prescriptions there is always a long line, no matter what hour. They are either under staffed or have scheduling problems. Also, their refill by phone service is a joke. I placed a phone order on Monday, waited in a 20-​min line on Friday only to find out it was never received. So they ask me to come back in 30 minutes. I recommend going somewhere else.

I live right across the street from this walgreens and always assumed they are never open past 11 because they block the automatic door that allows you to walk in. I called and have just found out that they block the door that allows you to walk in, but unlock the door that says «DO NOT ENTER» and you have to walk through that to get into the store at night. Please tell me how that’s not one bit confusing and frustrating at all?

Reward points! I have about 1000 of these but I don’t know what to do with them!
Good service at the pharmacy department. Fast and convenient. Allows you to refill online or via phone.
Photo printing machine was a bit difficult to navigate though! And no one was around to guide me through it so I eventually gave up and left.

This Walgreens has been at this location since I was growing up. It’s not the biggest Walgreen’s but they do have great deals in there and it’s a good one stop store if you are in need of something. It reminds me of all the things I used to look at as I was growing up. They got the old school candy in there and when it’s the holidays they have all the old school stuffed animals, candy and toys to buy. They have good deals in there so make sure you sign up for their Walgreen’s card so that you can get their deals! It is worth to come here and really pay attention to sales because they have stuff that’s cheaper than Target!

Hi all,
this flu season got pretty crazy and I was glad that Walgreens offered the flu shots back in January of this year. I paid $ 32.00 for my shot but when I asked the woman who rang up the charge if I could use my rewards card to get credit or the rewards she told me that there were no rewards for this particular item. Wrong! I just saw the website for Walgreens and it specifically said you get rewards for this. Please hire employees that know what they are talking about Walgreens!

Only been here twice but things are pretty dire. I’m filling in nearby for my company for a few weeks, so I doubt I’ll be back here after that stint is done.
Visit one: Almost run face first into the extremely slow opening auto door. The entry itself is very confusing as there are three doors, the left for entry, the right for exit and the center blocked off with a stackout of water or something on the interior. Not a very inviting entry way.
Looking for water. Find the refrigerator after casting my gaze about on the far right wall. Half the refrigerator racks are empty and the glass doors are in serious need of cleaning and basic attention. There is a film of old mylar sitcker residue and an overall funkiness to them that demands cleaning. In general the store seems to need a ton of TLC as displays are cattywampus and things are uniformly not square or faced and fronted.
I take my prize to register, where I become the fourth person in line. Having worked previously for Walgreen’s, I know the cashier must signal when there are 3 or more people in line. The cashier, obviously rattled and losing composure over the woman she’s helping who doesn’t have the right card or appropriate cash, repeatedly presses the «IC3» button. Nothing. Finally, she uses the intercom and announces she needs a void. Eventually, a manager or keyholder, set apart by the silly vest and tie I luckily left Walgreen’s before I had to start wearing, comes, sidles into the cashier’s area, does whatever it is she needs to do, then goes and consults with another employee, and then wanders off with them to the back of the store, still leaving 3 people in line, without any acknowledgement there was a line. I’ve now been in line 5 minutes for a bottle of water. It didn’t really bother me, as I know things happen, but this is all in defiance to Walgreen’s stated policy, which I know from experience, that you get customers taken care of first thing. That manager should have jumped into the other register and started ringing people up right away. Obviously there is a disparity here.
Finally, my turn at the register and the woman with the voided transaction and the pile of left behind goods is back. I wave her in ahead of me and have her finish her transaction. After all, I only have a bottle of water and I was 30 minutes early for work anyway.
Second trip: Almost run face first into the extremely slow opening auto door. I see the manager from my previous visit walking past, and just to be a goofball, try and catch her eye, to test if she’s going to acknowledge a customer. I strike out. I am looking for gum this time and I need a charging cord for my phone because I mistakenly thought I lost one I had, only to find it at work later. I wander a couple aisles with no one offering a hand and then finally find my gum. I get my cord, and this time someone is there to ask if I need anything. Bravo! I ask if they have it in black, am told alas no, though I notice a distinct lack of looking for one. I take the gray one and move along.
I get a distinct impression of needing more bodies on the floor or at least for the manager I saw both times caring about the customers that are in the store. There also needs to be a lot of deep cleaning and a general involvement in fronting and facing the store. There were unfilled holes, ragged looking displays and an overall sense of lack of care.

Beware! They never pick up the phone. I waited over 20 minutes to have them tell me they couldn’t help me with my prescription order.

5 STARS FOR YOU WALGREEN!
I am a film photographer, and I was dying to find a place to develop my film that is cheap and close to where I live. This Capitol Walgreen is the best place to develop 35 mm film. Sadly, they don’t do 120 mm. However, it is the best quality you can get with such a cheap price.
Usually it costs about $ 14 to develop a roll of film in the professional lab. Sadly, there isn’t many lab in San Jose. Walgreen develop a roll with prints for about $ 11~. Because I don’t need the prints, I only want the digital files. They charge me $ 9 for developing and digital files in CD. Such a great deal. Only an hour wait to pick up.
Way to go!
GREAT PLACE FOR HIPSTERS TO DEVELOP THEIR FILM CAMERA.

Always go here with my wife when we need things. I love to go get half off things when all the holiday stuff goes on sale the day after. My wife love it when i get her some of the nail polish when its on sale. Some of the workers here are friendly and helpful.

I love this Walgreens!!! This place is sooooo close to my house. My mom is here almost every day buying cigarettes or just basic necessities. The staff here is really friendly, and helpful.
Highly recommend stopping by here for your every day items.

I like coming here because of the Redbox machine. It’s close by and it’s always best to use a code to get a free movie. They do seem to be under staff since I barely see employees in the store. Sometimes I have to hunt for someone to help me lol The makeup alley needs to be stocked more since I usually see two of each product. The cashiers need to keep an eye on the registers because there’s only one open with a long line and even when the cashier asks for another line to open up on the speaker, it takes awhile for someone to open the register.
Overall, they’ll have good deals, but their after holiday sales are the best!

Strictly for the pharmacy department.
They are understaffed, takes forever to fill/​refill medications and hard to get a hold of by phone. They have a male pharmacy tech (forgot his name but I remember he has a girls name) is incompetent and so lazy that he can’t walk a few steps to the fax machine to even check if my prescription was in.
The pharmacist is also rude. She speaks to you as if you can’t speak English or stupid. Thumbs down! Because of convenience I continue to come here.

Went here to pick up some developed photos we ordered through their site online. They were fast and ready to pickup on the same day. The registers here are a bit slow as there may be just one line.

This Walgreens has stepped up their game a bit. I frequent this one on a semi-​regular basis although it’s not my go to place for most quick things. However, I knew that they had self-​serve photo kiosks to get your pictures printed and since I was short on time, I decided to go with them because of the location. Turns out, not only were they able to provide me my pictures in less than the hour than the system said they would be ready but I got them 12 minutes later. Kind of a shop while you wait kinda thing. It was great because in all truth I only had about 20 minutes to spare so way to go Walgreens!
They are well staffed and the customer service is getting better. They have an indoor Redbox machine which makes the «all in one» stop shop even better. This one will continue to get my random pop-​ins…

Pharmacy wise, they don’t take my insurance anymore?! Man … a little too lazy to drive the other direction to CVS … although Target is right there and I keep forgetting to ask if they accept my insurance…
Anyhoos, Walgreens does offer a low income/​cheap program for medicine. Ask them about it.
As for sales and holiday items, most of the time it’s pricey and quantity is higher than quality, but if you’re smart and check the sales in in the newspaper you receive weekly in your mail you might score some steals on the walgreen loots like hair dyes, health/​vitamin items, or even school supplies, I don’t go for that purpose often because sometimes even the ‘sale’ is kind of a rip off, but once again, if I already left Target and is in that side of the plaza, I’d buy it there.
But nail polishes are a plenty here :) it’s where I started using the Sinfully brand nail polish: D
Parking lot safety? Yeah, there’s not much. You have crazy driver’s and people with uncontrable dogs since there’s the Pet Express close by. So when crossing please look both ways like you were taught in elementary school or what you should’ve learned from barney: D
Beware the guys asking for money and the high schoolers looming about.

After eating subway I asked my friend to go with me REAL QUICK, to Walgreens.
Ok so I found what I was looking for & you all know what they sell there, HELLA SNACKS, (JUNK FOOD)! Ok so I did my thang & looked around found so much goodies but I had to behave. I just came from the gym prior to eating & coming here. Boo
Ok so I got my stuff, Went to get in line. It wasn’t long when I got there, then the lady at photo said that she could help someone. Stupid me went there & her register isn’t working, check this she tells
me JUST KIDDING?! OoOooK!?? (fine) then her second attempt was the next register, BOO! Total FAIL! so I get back in line now I have this Asian lady with a cart full of junk Goodies! hmmm looks like it’s gonna be a while.
Friend is on the side waiting for me to get ringed up. I look at him & I look at the lady in front of me & I rolled my eyes. Knowing what to expect.
Oh & did I mention all registers except the the one with the cashier & Pharmacy was working.
I was already next when the lady from pharmacy said she can help someone. PSH I’m not going through that again. So I tried to be patient until the lady started loading more stuff to her car geezus! Then she had to bring up price for an item she purchased. No help from a supervisor or manager for this line that was getting longer. So fast forward thank gawd. My turn cashier apologizes which turned my upset state of mind into pity. I said thats fine swipe my card while she scans my item & I’m DONE & OUT!
2 stars for the cashier! ZERO for the others who fail to help her with her line & this Walgreens is nice but could be BETTER!
