Walgreens

Got my clipper card here. Gentleman that helped was knowledgable and patient. This is my go to to refill my card from now on.

Holy cow. I just had my first baby and went to get my TDAP immunization here. I called 1 hr before hand and confirmed the shot was available without prescription.
Showed up and I had what seemed like a new pharma helper and what seemed liked a sedated mid forties short Chinese pharmacy employee look for 30 minutes for the shot and needles. Inside the pharmacy, outside in the hallway for some reason … I watched the woman ended up giving me my shot, search for 10 minutes for a syringe looking everywhere, in and around about 10 boxes clearly labeled syringes, she looked everywhere… above below left right except the place where the needles were.
Also. The pharmacist didn’t seem to know how to process the request so there was about 30 minutes of typing and paper shuffling and looking high and low for some thing, I’m not sure what it was.
I get the impression they aren’t so familiar with the shot giving process. I think I’ll stick with Laurel village for a while.

Like this place for vicinity to my place and ability to park. But filling prescription is not always prompt, make sure you call before you pick up the prescription.

Cramped, dirty, ghetto/​potholed private lot, poorly lit and featuring a pharmacy that’s such a joke that they will actually yell at you if you ask if you can wait to have a prescription filled.
«Today? Oh no, we won’t be able to fill that TODAY.»
And the two or three times I encountered that admonishment at this particular pharmacy, it was mid-​morning! I wasn’t asking to have something filled 25 minutes before closing. Oh no, it couldn’t be filled for AT LEAST 24 hours.
Maybe they’re so swamped with Kaiser nearby but I doubt it. I think they’re just overpaid and hardly-​working pharmacists who don’t give a hoot about you and your health.
Go to any Walgreens except this one and don’t even bother to bring or have your doctor call in a script here.

walgreens get 3 stars for having a parking lot in back. pricing not attractive here, so 2 stars. store small too.
buys: T.A.S. coconut water (1.39)
–100% coconut water,
–contains 20 grams sugar, natural?
take outs:
–cramped store, otherwise ok.

I would give zero stars if I could. Don’t try to get pictures printed here. The manager is an idiot. And a rude idiot at that. Waited 2 hours for my 1 hour photo. And still got nothing because the machine was broken. I understand the machine was broken, but please apologize for my wasted time and please thank me for waiting.

Always stocked with friendly service. They call «ICU» when needed so you never have to wait in line. I come here almost daily and never have I had a bad experience.

Love This Walgreens.
Been coming here for years.
Love their «Nice» products the staff here is friendly, lovely and charming.

This review if for the pharmacy only — they are always very helpful and have my prescriptions on time. Even when my insurance has questions they are very prompt in letting me know and keeping me up to date!

Least favorite wall greens ever. The place is kind of dirty. The employees are not nice. And they lock everything up! I am not even joking. I felt like i needed a personal shopper just to access what I needed. I’m used to razors being locked up, but toothbrushes? Seriously??? And to the guy who helped me, uh, yeah I can guarantee I hate having to press the button and wait for you as much as you clearly hated helping me. So how about you be a little nicer since we are in this together! They get one star because they are convenient, they have parking and frankly they do have what I need. I am NOT in marin anymore…

A Walgreens is a Walgreens. There’s aisles with meds, candy, band aids, ect ect. If you want to spit hairs over whether this Walgreens has an Icee machine or has the best service go for it. That said I like this Walgreen because it’s my Walgreens. The staff doesn’t step with pep and generally carry themselves like anyone would if they were making minimum wage but they get the job done.
However there is one lady with an eastern European accent who’s hell bent on saving me money every time I go. She’ll look at my purchases and say «there’s a coupon for that» and will proceed to leaf through a book to find me $ 0.50. If there’s ever been person living by the golden rule it’s her. «Save onto others as you would have them save onto you.» Walgreens lady you rock!

this is my local walgreens… i’ve never had much business here besides picking up prescriptions or a pack of band aids or something…
oh, there’s always a homeless guy outside… harmless.
the location is super small… and their parking lot is like an obstacle course… but i do appreciate that there even is a lot.
i prefer the fillmore location better… i guess it just depends where you’re coming from.

This place is a good one stop shop to buy anything from milk to greeting cards to your Fast Trak transmitter. The place is cramped especially when kids get off school and take over the place. There’s always the token homeless man or shady character loitering outside of the place but they never really bother anyone (or so far I haven’t heard or seen anything bad).
The staff are friendly and the place is a quick in and out unless you’re standing behind 20 kids lining up to by 50 cent candies… then you might be tempted to pay for all of them just so you can get out of there fast enough.
I’ve never used the pharmacy here so I can’t comment.
Being use to the Duane Reeds back in NYC, I can’t complain. It serves its neighborhood purpose.

The regular store is great. The staff is friendly and competent and it is usually well stocked.
However, their pharmacy is run by a bunch of incompetents. If you call on the phone, you are put into an endless hold and when/​if they finally pick up, they are unable to answer questions on the phone. And, if/​when your call is finally picked up, they often provide conflicting information, depending on who picks up the phone. Finally, after waiting forever to get some assistance, you will usually be told that they don’t have what you are looking for in stock.
I will say that the text feature when a rX is filled works nicely. However, I’m sure that is more a chain-​wide function as opposed to their own doing.

I’m only giving this place 4 stars because of how awesome it is that it is only a couple of blocks from my apartment and I award businesses that cater to my laziness. It’s overall fine, and pretty much what you’d expect from Walgreens. But I went here the other day to get a prescription (I’m on birth control fellas, hit me up!) and it was shut down due to a fucking smelly hippy protest about their right to squat in the building across the street. San Francisco, can we really cool it on how much we protest over bullshit? You’re pushing me into the arms of the Tea Party.

I normally like Walgreen’s, but this store is to be avoided. The place is filled with Tenderloinesque customers, things are disorganized, and they keep the toothbrushes locked up. Let me repeat that, the customers here are so shady they have to LOCK UP THE TOOTHBRUSHES to keep them from being stolen. That pretty much tells you what you need to know about this Walgreens.

This has got to be the worst Walgreens in the entire city. How the *%#* do you sell shower curtains, but no ringlets to attach them to the shower rod? Seriously? And when asked, one of the clerks (obviously not their fault or anything) tells me, «we stopped carrying those months ago…» Huh? Of all items to discontinue, what’s the rhyme or reason to not carry them?
This isn’t the only whack run in with this place, either. Nice enough people, I suppose… but this place is absolutely useless.

This used to be the site of the San Francisco School of Mortuary Science. I would hold my breath when I walked/​drove by here because I was taught it was the respectful thing to do when crossing by the dead. Sometimes I would be with some wisenheimer who would drive by really slow and I would almost pass out. Then once day the place caught on fire and the school moved. The building was left vacant for a while, and then Walgreens fixed it up and moved in.
This Walgreens is small. I agree with everyone else, there are lots of random items are under lock and key. I am sure there is some type of logic to this but I can’t figure it out. Some of the items are understandable, roid medicine, razors, electronics, Sudafed. But then the other stuff is just plain strange, like instant coffee and shampoo.
There are a few shady characters that hang outside, but I see this at all Walgreens. The security guard ALWAYS follows me around, but it makes me feel special. I try not to act suspicious, but then I get nervous and look even more shifty. It is actually kind of fun, but I am a little worried about getting detained some day for no good reason.
And by the way, don’t go here between 2pm-3:30pm, that is when 7,000 children take over the store after school. This is a nightmare within itself, especially if you’re not feeling well.
Yesterday my aunt gave me a San Francisco School of Mortuary Science mug. When she handed it to me, I held my breath for a minute and then slowly exhaled. I had a flood of preoccupation: How did the SFSMS burn down? What is mug made of? Will it help me during the impending zombie apocalypse? If I throw this mug at a zombie, would the zombie automatically explode? When I (inevitably) get detained at this Walgreens, can I sue? What if they plant something on me? Just to be safe, I’m never going here again.

When I lived in the ‘hood I frequented this Walgreens often. Once, after a particularly painful medical procedure at Kaiser (thanks assholes!) I almost threw up waiting in line to get my prescription for pain meds filled. Almost.
I used to find all manner of useful household things here and lots of white elephant gifts too. Although really who CAN’T use a Jericurl relaxant?
Don’t worry I saved one special for you, and you, and you…

This Walgreen’s is approximately one block away from Boy’s abode. Since what’s his is mine, I guess that makes Walgreen’s approximately one block away from my abode :) Which makes it awfully convenient. This approximate block is slightly uphill on the way there, which makes me feel like I’ve fulfilled my workout requirements for the day simply by making an early-​morning tampon or tylenol run. Grab an Odwalla and a Balance Bar on my way out and I’ve also fulfilled the «healthy breakfast» requirement. So far, these guys have me off to a great start and it’s only 8 a.m. This means that for the remainder of the day, I am free to eat chocolate, be lazy, and generally sloth around. AWESOME.
You should know that this place is quite popular with the geriatric set. If you need a prescription, get that in before 9 a.m., when the doctors start calling in the old folks’ prescriptions. It can get all kinds of crazy back in the pharmacy come mid-​morning and it doesn’t appear to slow down all afternoon.
Sweetest Walgreen’s staff in the city! Love the older asian man who runs the register and delights in telling customers about their new Credit Card/​ATM system.
