Walgreens

The nearest Walgreens from my friend’s place. They have no parking lot so you have to park in the streets. I put in a couple coins and only had change so I was lucky enough to get 6 minutes.
Went in and went out.
I would say that this was an average Walgreens except it was very small and that the aisles were narrow so it was very easy to bump someone. It was like you could only form a single file line.

Not my favorite place but if one needs vitamins or aspirin it is within walking distance. Usually a long line at the pharmacy window. Once I took in a prescription and after a 20 minute wait, they told me they were out of the item. Huh? It took 20 minutes to check on an antibiotic?
Agree it is not clean and this, as well as other Walgreen’s, have a lot of items under lock and key. If one wants to read the ingredients and compare items, the clerk, who had to unlock the items, starts sighing. Again, not my favorite place.

The place is filthy. I’m not a big fan of this place. The only reason I come here because my parents are getting haircuts and there is nothing to do at Irving Chinatown. I get that the workers here act like they do not want to work here because who wants to work in retail? I work at a public library as a paid assistant and I know how much it sucks to be in public service.

This review is for the pharmacy. I picked up my prescription last Friday on my way home from the UCSF emergency room. I have been very, very sick with a bacterial infection and today put together that they only gave me 32 pills when the quantity was supposed to be 40 (and that’s what it says on the outside of the bottle).
This is an antibiotic, and serious stuff we are talking about here. To not have someone take the prescribed amount of antibiotics for staph could become a life altering MRSA situation. I had to make some calls to make up for their carelessness. Don’t go to this Walgreens pharmacy (normally, they’re great!).

Pharmacy line 20 min wait at 6:20p, then was rudely told to wait 15 min and get back in line because they did not have my prescription yet. Waiting I get, being rude when ur busy, gotta change. I expect friendlier interactions in a neighborhood Walgreens, especially regarding inconvenience.

Not organized well, staff is friendly but does not look like a Walgreens, very small.

This walgreens is super small and there is no parking available ever. I sent my wife in to look for what we wanted. I joined her 15 minutes later by stalking people who came out of walgreens hoping they parked in the little parking lot next to the store. I finally got a spot and went in. The store itself has very narrow isles. They were out of almost all the cold water bottles. Which IMO is inexcusable for a store. They could have easily cracked open one of the many crates of water they had and put some in the fridge sections. poor management on their part. Still my wife and I got what we needed and were out of there fairly quickly. I think in the future though i will go to the walgreens on stanyan rather than this location.

Ok to shop there but they need more employees that are nice and knowledgeable. The store set up needs a lot of improvement. It could be such a great experience shopping there but there is too much stuff in such a small space.

This Walgreens is pretty small and aisles are pretty cramped. Their item selection is pretty limited and everything seems pretty packed. Location is a bit of a problem as well because parking can be a bit**. They have a parking lot for 6 parking spots and it fills up quick. I guess if you’re in the area and really need something here, it’s the place to go but don’t expect them to have many items from the ad in stock.

Absolutely TINY but incredibly convenient for Late-​night cravings and sweets, pharmacy items, and beauty as well. This is miles ahead of the TERRIBLE Walgreens on 25^th and Noriega, meaning I’d much rather come to this one. If you live anywhere on Irving, Judah, Lincoln, or the likes of — then you probably ought to come here. The Staff are delightful & very keen to help customers.
I do complain that they often don’t sell biscuits for Tea, and they lack refrigerated goods, especially coffee creamer. It is incredibly well needed indeed. But this Walgreens has me covered more often than not.
The staff here are lovely though, I’ve never had a bad interaction at this location and wot you cannot find here you can probably get at other shops in the neighbourhood.

This Walgreens is just poorly set up, especially in an area where space isn’t really an issue. The line is always pretty bad. It’s convenient if you need to refill your clipper card or just have a horrible headache and need some meds stat.

Eh sometimes the employees are nice and helpful other times not so much. But I only go to walgreens if there’s an emergency. Other than that… I’m alllllll for target wooot wooot ! Affordable and everything. Walgreens is a bit pricey but hey people need to make a living

Small but gets the job done. Its all about the motion in the ocean.

This place is a complete rip-​off.
I bought 8 size D batteries for a whopping $ 16.49 + 1.44tax = $ 17.93
I bought a box of 8 2oz Similac baby formula for $ 8.79…are you kidding me?!? Their online price is $ 6.99. Why the heck do you rape customers with such a HIGH mark-​up???
Don’t shop here unless you are desperate. Pay tribute to Target & Walmart instead & while you are at it, bring your prescription to Target or Safeway (just anywhere but Walgreens).

curiosity lead me into this walgreens. left before i got skinned…
negatives:
–aisles are so narrow. items stack up to the ceiling.
–prices higher than the east bay by a few dollars
–congested lines in front, easy to bump someone or someone to bump you.
positvies:
–u r sick and need meds badly.
–associates seem ok here.

Only came here to buy water bottle since i was thristy.
This place doesn’t look that big but it looks clean.
They had a weird way of setting up the line

It’s within walking distance from my apartment, but the place is so tiny and anything that’s not on sale is ridiculously overpriced. Luckily, I just needed to stock up on some sweets to do some baking and I made sure they were on sale!
Other than that, friendly staff. Good place to get last minute items when you don’t have time to go elsewhere.

Who would’ve thought there would be degrees of awesome-​ness when it comes to a Walgreens?
I miss the one I used to pass to+from work on Montgomery/​Sacramento-​ish — it was bigger, better stocked+organised — all with nicer staff.
— This one has a parking lot (which I would never dream of using cos 22^nd+Irving is a nightmare to walk in let alone drive through/​in/​around)
— This one, like someone else previously remarked always has people trying to cut in line (senior citizens… you…yes, yes, i’m lookin’ atchu!) & cluttered counters
It’s too much happening in one little store & I also wish they’d just get rid of the parking lot & expand.
But there’s nothing else nearby that’s as convenient to grab quotidien items from.
Quotidien. Yes, with a Q.
Now, get back in line gramma.

This review is mainly for the pharmacy.
I’ve been to this Walgreens maybe twice. It’s like any other Walgreens, just a little bit smaller. My first experience was okay. The lady at the checkout was really nice to me. The pharmacy section, however, was ridiculous.
I stopped by the pharmacy to renew a prescription. There was no line, but I waited for the lady to help me for over 15 minutes. I was understanding at first because she was on the phone and she told me that she’d be with me soon, BUT THAT WAS A LIE. The phone conversation wasn’t urgent, she didn’t seem like she was working hard or doing anything particularly demanding, and she was slow with every movement she made. She saw my impatience and told me she’d be with me soon one more time, but then I waited maybe a little over 5.
She wasn’t particularly unfriendly to me, just very lazy. I don’t appreciate this because I don’t have all the time in the world to wait for someone who should be working more efficiently.
The time it took to help me took less than 2 minutes. I could have saved so much time if their employees weren’t so half-​assed with their work. I NEVER want to go back to this pharmacy again.

HAHAHA the petite brunette lady that everyone’s talking about, I didn’t know people felt the same as me towards her. She seems mean & kind of pissed.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of this Walgreens, but it’s the closest and convenient one to me. I prefer the one on Noriega and the one on Taraval & 40^th? the one closer to the beach. The one on Taraval & 40^th and a parking lot that is never full, I like that and the fact that this Walgreens isn’t always crowded.
This Walgreens is so cramped, I can’t walk through here. I’m not big, but shelves are way too close to each other, and aisles are hard to walk through.
On my way home, I decided to stop by Walgreens to get some tea that’s on sale. They didn’t have the one I was looking for on Sunday, so I came back to check. I got the very last one. Two people were eyeing me right after I got it. The old lady asked me where I got it, I pointed right where I found it. I did it twice, she didn’t believe me. I just said, «I probably got the last one,» then quickly walked away.
Parking around here isn’t the best, even though they have a small parking lot, I just walk from home.
