Walgreens

Now, this Walgreens carries alcohol, unlike the one down and across the street on 776 Market. Beer, wine, you name it. Personally, I liked their Bruce Cost original bottled ginger ale. Non-​alcoholic, I know, after all that talk about carrying alcohol. But addicting, I tell ya.

Just went to the Share a Coke event and got 2 free personalized cokes here! The Walgreens staff were nice, and ensured that everyone was orderly. This is a larger than usual Walgreens, imo, due to its proximity to the mall and Powell Street, and it is extremely well stocked and has a great variety of items.

Cashiers don’t know what they’re doing and there is always a long line. Seems like a place where the mall employees all go to buy snacks and stuff. That’s cool but teach your cashiers how to do all of the things. Also stop with the high-​pitched random long beeping in the store, I thought I was having a flashback from a bad hospital movie! They need to restock their stock more as well. That’d be cool.

Ohh emmm geeee sobrang daming palenkera na kahera sa walgreens… They speak tagalog about their bad customers… The way they talk like uneducated and no manners… The filipino lady with long hair and too much make up and chandelier earrings looks like shes a worker in SM malls in the Philippines (too much make up)…she’ve been there for along time and the same she still keeps complaining about her job and customer… Gash! She should be fired! I dont know why people are like that… Just do ur job and provide a good customer service! That what your getting pay for! :)

Remember while standing in the long line that it doesn’t cost them anything to waste your time.

Avoid the pharmacy here. The location is so convenient but the experience I had at the pharmacy will keep me from returning here. I had minor burns on my hand from picking up a lid hot from the oven. I wanted burn cream that was not petroleum based. Easy enough request, right? Wrong. I could not find this type of product on the shelf so I went to the pharmacy for a recommendation of an over the counter product. WENDY the pharmacist suggested a specific name brand product and refused to come from behind the counter to show me where it was when I could not locate it. Another Walgreens employee offered to help find this product – that was of course petroleum based. You might as well have told me to rub some butter on my burn. Total fail.

Solid 3.5 stars; their locations are even better than 7 Eleven’s, not to mention selection but that’s another story. I had already passed by 2 other Walgreens.
Pretty convenient being close to Powell station.
Got my Whatchamacallit’s, it’s the best bar!

I stopped into this Walgreens to get one item that I know for a fact that this store carries. I was in a hurry and noticed the regular line was pretty long, so I went to the cosmetics line with only two people in it.
When the person ahead of me got up to the register the cashier and here started talking on about personal life because I guess they know each other. They continued to talk for about fifteen minutes.
I’m very displeased with this Walgreens, their employees aren’t profession and make people stay in line longer so they can have personal conversations.

I gotta say, I wasn’t expecting much but this pharmacy blew me away. Such an amazing selection of icy hot packages and so many band aids. My only complaint would be the lack of flinstones vitamins. Great experience, will definitely be coming back!

They got very poor passport photo service. The light is very bad light and low resolution camera. Would not recommend.

Time: 6:38pm
Purpose: Needed a quick snack and drink kind of warm in SF very odd but Indian summer can’t argue with that.
Staff: Running around some are busy some are not. Ask anyone where an item would be is quite a challenge depending who you run into. It depends if they think you’re better than them or not. I don’t need to explain here if you’re better than them you know what treatment receive.
Cleanliness: Standards are comply.
Buys: Owalla smoothie, Caesar chicken wrap.
Set-​up: Just like any other Walgreen’s same items different location of display. Prices will always be the same as long as you don’t go out of state prices are regional.
Expectations: Tourist would like this location near the front end cashier there is an impulse section. I mean candies from the UK are being sold here a Nestlé division the same ones you’ll find at Fiona’s Sweetshop on Sutter. It’s not a surprise to me depending on what area of Walgreen’s you’re at Chinatown they would carry shrimp chips, wasabi peas… mission district would be chicharones… japantown would be mochi’s (6pk). Come if you’re staying nearby hotel but don’t want to buy from their sundry shop. I have one encounter with this cashier but I will not hold her to it. As customers gather up their items leaving the counter employees calls out next please. Well for me the one of the cashier calls out (neck pleasssse) next please and ask me if I want a (bang) bag. Lastly she said something that I thought if she was for real (tibet) debit. It’s laughable once you leave the store but I know they’re trying their best.
Final Thoughts: Best time to shop here is from 9 – 11:45am or 2pm-4:30pm on weekends forget about even with 4 – 5 cashiers operating you still would encounter problems were tourist forgets to do an currency exchange or needing a price check it will drive you crazy if you’re in a rush. Becareful of young aspiring up and coming rappers who wants to rise to stardom selling you their albums out front. I’m not even sure if the CD’s contains and songs on it for $ 5 they’ll even let you listen to it first. Next up the hobos out front who feels each person coming in or out must owe them something for their contributions to this country one guy looks like 18 yr old how did he became a veteran?

Scam at the register when it comes to «Register Reward Coupons». And prices often rang above advertised prices.
Clearly someone needs to crack down on Walgreens

Went to this Walgreens because of the convenient location to where I work. I passed by quickly to pick up snacks before work, I checked my account balance while u was in line, I had the money in my account. I swiped my card and the cashier said my card was declined, he said swipe it again. Declined?! After the third try I decided to use another card. When I got to work I checked my account once again. I had been charged in BOTH cards!!! Seriously??? I called and the manager Joe asked me to come back in. I went back in the next day. The line at the check out was insanely long so I headed over to the cosmetics counter hoping the person over there could call the manager for me. There was already a girl there waiting, she kept looking around for assistance. I noticed a sales associate that was over by the make up and she kept looking over in our direction. I asked her if there was anyone that worked in this area. Boy did she have a chip on her shoulder. She barely said a word to the girl that was returning a notebook, she then looked up at me with a scowl on her face and snapped her sassy comments at me! She said next time you have a return you can go to any other register. WHOA!!! Excuse me Regina aren’t you in the customer service industry? Or were you too busy restocking lipstick to come over and actually help a customer! She was condescending, rude and completely lacked people skills! Regina obviously YOU applied, interviews and got the job, I’m pretty sure Walgreens pays you to do your job, so maybe someone on your management team needs to pull out your job description and go over it once again with you. The way this woman treated myself and the customer before me was completely uncalled for. If she was having a bad day probably she check that emotional baggage in at the door. Get it together Walgreens cosmetic lady.
Btw… Joe the manager has asked me to come in to receive my refund for the double charge. Calvin the other manager I spoke to never got back to me although he said he would, there was no follow through on his end. It would have been the courteous thing to do, whether he could figure out the double charge or not he should’ve called me like HE SAID HE WOULD, but he did not.

I Would never GO back again EVER …
I used to shop there most of the time cuz the locations its very convenient, but not after this week. The Asian lady who works at the pharmacy should NOT be allowed to treat customers like that. Every time I go to pick my medications I have to deal with her rude behavior.
She treats customer like xxxx. Last time she pissed off one of the customers. while I was waiting on the line. However I went there this week to pick some medications. She asked me to wait 20 mins and I ended up waiting for ONE hour and 35 mins I couldn’t wait longer I was so tired just got off from work I asked her polity if its take longer cuz I have been there forever her response was EXTREMELY RUDE she brought my stuffs and through them on the table SERIOUSLY !!!
There much better pharmacies out there !!!

Who goes to San Fran and reviews a Walgreens? This girl right here! Why? Because it cracked me up. This Walgreens was JUMPING! The middle of the day on a Sunday and the line was wrapped around worse than a Six Flags’ ride during a holiday weekend. What is going ON here? No crazy sales… no real draw… sort of, well, weird. A friend of mine and I actually had to hold a place in line for my sister while she shopped so that once she found what she wanted she would be able to make the purchase without having to wait forever! See? You thought I was exaggerating! Soooooo wasn’t. Not the cleanest of stores, but definitely convenient. Perhaps that was the reason for all the love? Anyway, as far as actual goods, this Walgreens has got everything a Walgreens should. I even found a little usb wall plug for $ 10. May have to go back and cop that one.

Horrible experience here…
I looked on Unilocal to see if it was just me, but looks like a systematic failure of customer service at Walgreens.
First, i had my dr send the precription over. Went to WG later and they said my prescription was not ready. Ok, would have been nice to get a call back from them to tell me when it would be ready. But I can live with this.
Came back a few days later. waited 10 mins to get to a pharmacist.
then she took another 10 mins scrabling to find my 2 drugs.
then her terminal locked up, so I had to wait for another terminal.
then she rang me up, but forgot to add one of my items. so had to ring me up again.
then i asked her for a bag to put my drugs in.
she said that she couldn’t do it becuase it would cost an additional 11 cents.
walgreens, seriously? Do you actually want people to shop at your stores?

If you can avoid this place then I’d suggest you move on. If you have to go in, make sure you know what you want. There are other locations that are a bit less claustrophobic and smell better.

Review #1066.
I wanted to like this Walgreens, but it’s just too busy at the corner of street. While it carries most basic necessities in its brightly lit and wide aisles, it only a very handful of holiday items. It has a more touristy and convenience feel comparing with the other 2 on Market Street within 2 blocks.

I’ve gotten to the point that I only come in this Walgreens because it’s the closest to my work. Beyond that, I hate coming here.
Everything’s been moved around because of the battery section remodel and just generally doesn’t make logical sense. I find myself wandering around aisles more often than not searching for one or two small things that should be near something else, but never are. And as soon as I find them, whoah… there they go being moved again. Many of the signs no longer even correctly correlate to whats in their aisle at this point.
I think the final straw was when I came in the other day looking for a simple birthday bag. Most Walgreens will have a few, if not a half dozen or more types of bags for gifts. This Walgreens had four, of the same kind and all hung on different hooks to make it seem like the section wasn’t empty. If they hadn’t been huge and boasting a humongous white wedding cake I might have considered it… but really?
Who the heck is your PAC and has she mysteriously died on you people?
There’s always super long lines now because there aren’t enough registers or cashiers to staff the registers and this location badly needs to be FULLY shut down for a remodel. Not just curtains duct-​taped over partially finished construction on an area NO ONE USES.
Seriously, get yourself together man, your ‘I don’t care about my customers’ is showing.

The pharmacy tech here rocks! I have never, ever seen anyone working retail whip through a line or handle as many people as she does.
Since this appears appears to be a «must» on the tourist circuit, the pharmacy isn’t too busy since the tourists are packed around the souvenirs section.
I stood behind 5 old people and expected at least a 30 minute wait to drop off a prescription but Ms. Efficient rang them up, took prescriptions, answered their endless questions, and passed off an old lady to another employee all within 7 mins. Woo! Same experience when I stopped by 2 hours later to pick up my prescription. Promote her to CEO!
