Walgreens

This is the worst Walgreens ever! Poor service due to understaffed pharmacist. Originally, I was given an ETA of 30 mins for a common med on a random 3:30pm pick up time. Once I returned, I was told to wait 20 mins to 30 mins more since no one had processed my prescription and it just sat there! I explained I was parked at a meter but it didn’t seem to register since nothing was said. Where is the customer service I’ve seen from so many other Walgreens before? From now on, I will be taking my business elsewhere like Costco or Target!

This place is the worse. Make sure you call before picking up a prescription. They’re never ready and they always make you wait 30 minutes.

they didnt help me!!! I flagged them down and they ran away. Then i realized it was kid in a light blue shirt.

Walgreens here is small, prices reasonable. no parking lot nearby. no easy street parking. wouldn’t come here, better options elsewhere.
got a snack, not memoralble. forgot what it was.

Bad service.
Many time went there .
They don’t have what I’m looking for.
They always said sorry we don’t have it.
We will bring it soon. Come back they still out. Bullshit

Fortunately, I don’t need to use the pharmacy here. With that being said, I’ve never had any major issues here other than lines and the stock on particular items during a big sale.
I’m always roaming in here after holidays to hoard their cheap clearance items with holiday themed picture it decorations for next year or just continuous yearly use.
During back to school days, there’s always a good amount of people here looking for school supplies. When they’re through with shopping, almost everything that says pilot pen or college ruled is gone.
They usually have coupon sheets when you walk in, but they either tend to be used, clipped or just missing entirely. Always ask for I’ve in the front. There’s always plenty there.

I created a Unilocal account just so I could write this review.
This Walgreens is super friendly and crazy busy! However, the pharmacy is terrible. I called to check on the status of my prescription and the man I spoke with on the phone said that it would be ready in an hour. I arrived at the pharmacy an hour and ½ after that phone conversation to pick up my prescription. This is a very busy location so I was not upset when I had to wait in line for about 15 minutes to be helped. When I got up to the counter, the man helping me (who was very nice) was not able to locate the prescription and asked me to stand to the side. I did as he had asked while I watched about 20 other customers pick up their prescriptions. I waited about 40 minutes before I received my order without an apology or any remorse for lying about not having it ready.
This is the second time I have experienced bad customer service and lack of organization within the pharmacy department of this Walgreens. I will be going out of my way from now on to have my prescriptions filled somewhere else.

This store’s pharmacy is extraordinary for its lack of service. Long waits at each step of medication fill process. Long wait to drop off prescriptions. Long wait to fill medication. Long wait to pick up medication. Long wait for refills. Calling on status of refill that my doctor has approved – 47 minutes and STILL waiting.
Kicking myself in the butt for NOT checking these reviews first.
One star for customer service. 5 stars for long waits :((

This is the most convenient Walgreens for me because I live nearby and usually come here before or after work. However, I would much rather come here during the night due to these reasons .
Morning/​Afternoon:
The staff in the morning/​afternoon are usually an older age group than the closing staff (just saying). However, the morning/​afternoon staff takes forever to ring and won’t stop yapping to one another! When the line starts forming, they pretend to not notice and continue yapping. If they do have another associate hop on the register, they would take the person closest to them and not the first person in line (rude much).
Night:
The staff during the night are probably in their early 20’s but are so much nicer to customers. There is usually a security guard standing by the door and he usually greets you and asks if you need any help without automatically assuming you are a thief. The cashiers would also greet you and engage in a conversation with you which is always nice.

Came back another time to refill my clipper —
a worker miscounted my money, and I was not able to fill the card (a long line behind me, so no point in arguing and holding up others). Thus, delaying another day.
I am NEVER coming back here. I am afraid if I buy a chapstick, there’d be some complicated process that’ll come along with it.
I L O V E walgreens, but this location sucks so bad, SO bad, to the point where I just want to ask, «WHY?! IS THIS?! SO HARD?!».
Either I just have bad luck here, or they suck at dealing with clipper cards.
I have not bought anything here, nor would I want to because I think some workers need an extra cup of coffee, or two, but hopefully they don’t work at starbucks because that’s just dangerous after my walgreens-​AT-​THIS-​LOCATION mishaps.

This Walgreens is okay. I was waiting in line patiently, but then the register I was in line for was taking forever. A manager opened a register, which a line was already forming. I decided to go in front of that line.
The manager asked me, «Do you need help?»
My response, «I need to buy this.»
Manager, «You have to get in the back of the line.»
Me: «I was line, but that reg is taking forever.»
I just left.
I’ve done customer service, sales and register before. If I notice people in line for a register, I’ll make sure those people are served first because they were there before anyone else. I hate when register folks open a reg. and say, «Next person in line.» But don’t really take the next person in line. They expect customers to handle that. Some customers will be fair and follow instructions, but there are people who only care about themselves and be serve first even though they weren’t next.
I’m not hating this Walgreens, but this is only an assessment to help them improve.

Pros:
This is the one of the best Walgreen’s close to the City College main campus.
The staff are very friendly and polite.
Cons:
Only one or two registers open, but if it is not too busy then it’s okay.
They need to have more registers open when it begins to get very busy.

Wow. what’s with all the previous negativity?
I like this Walgreens a lot because as soon as you walk in, a very friendly staff greets you. And when I need help, there’s always a staff available to show me where the items are.
I also refill and pick up my prescriptions here. It’s so quick and easy with the iPhone app. The lines are never long.
The photo center is the bomb. When I was in a hurry to get some prints in an hour – and the Walgreens online photo service was down, the photo specialist told me to bring in my flash drive and the pictures would be ready in less than 20 minutes. It took only 15 minutes.
Once in a while, I also get cash rewards/​coupons for spending over $ 20 or so. And when something’s on sale that you are unaware of, the cashier tells you there’s a buy one-​get one deal or scans the coupon in their advertisement pages to help you save money.
Keep up the good work! More sale in the cosmetics and hair department please!
Thanks for Going Green by switching to paper bags too ^^

I gave this Walgreens 1 star mainly because of their photo department. I would’ve given them ZERO stars if that was an option. Last year, I turned in a disposable camera that had pics of my sons’ high school graduation dinner. When I picked them up, the photos I received were NOT the ones I had taken! They had mixed our photos up with someone elses’!! A year later now, our photos STILL have NOT been located. Your kids only graduate from high school once & these photos were irreplaceable. Management offered to develop our next set of photos for free as a consolation. What a f — –g joke!!! You think I’m gonna trust them with more photos to be developed??? After this incident, I went out & invested in a digital camera so that this wouldn’t happen with my daughters’ graduation this past June!!!

i remember i took a bunch of pictures at the car show one time, brought it down there they said sorry but none of the picture came out and it was blanks. im like what the hell… i finish up my roll and brought back down there… it works… i think someone fuck up and blame it on me, not koo at all… i been taken picture for long enough and never happen to me at other places…

This is my neighborhood area Walgreens. I can’t complain too much about it. It serves its purpose for convenient items such as snacks, food, and soft drinks.
I bought a tv antenna there a few years ago. I think they have cut back on some products but I can’t blame them due to space limitations.
I like some of the Christmas ad specials and I think the weekly ads should have more variety and bargains overall.

Wow, the photo center has just about the most unintelligent, incompetent, and rude workers I have ever encountered. I thought animals are supposed to evolve over time?
Anyways, I was just in a major car wreck, had pics from the scene taken by a disposable, and came in to have them developed. I return a couple hours later to find the pictures had HUGE fingerprints, abnormal discoloration, and splices of other pictures in a photo. Now mind you, these things do NOT occur unless someone mishandles the film after it’s removed from the camera. We bring this to Juliet’s (the «Executive Assistant Manager») attention and so she took the negatives and redeveloped the pics.
After waiting 45 minutes, the employee, Deniro, who originally accepted the disposable camera handed us the new set, which was missing 4 photographs. Um, WTF?! We had already overheard Juliet say in Tagalog «take out the last strip, it’s not readable anyway.» Now, the BF is Filipino so he understood what they said. Who the hell were they trying to fool here? Did they really think we couldn’t count? Not only that, the 2^nd set was just as fucked up as the first set. Clearly, the negatives are irreparable. When we talked to them, they tried to blame US saying that it was OUR fingerprints on the film. Are you fucking kidding me?! It’s a goddamn disposable camera, who in their right minds would go and open it? On top of that, Juliet continued to shift the blame onto us and never apologized or offered a refund. I had to ASK for it and even then, she demanded all the pics back. I said no, so she said she would give me half of my money back if I gave her the more botched photos. I refused so she ended up just giving me half and telling me they were trying to help us out. She NEVER apologized or anything.
DO NOT EVER COME HERE, DO NOT EVER LET THEM DEVELOP YOUR PHOTOS UNLESS YOU WANT THEM TO BE COMPLETELY MESSED UP!

Slowgreen’s. And rude clerks who insist on speaking Spanish & Tagalog to each other while they’re ringing *YOU* up.

so i’m waiting in line to make my purchases. there is a guy behind me, very attractive might i add, with his 5 or 6 year old daughter. an appearing to be homeless woman was looking at a display at the end of an isle near me. out of nowhere, an employee walks up and yells at her «get the f out, you stupid f-​ing bitch». which prompts the little girl behind me to say «daddy, why is she a stupid f-​ing bitch».
now i know this has nothing to do with the products that walgreen’s carries, and is probably not the way they treat most people. i understand that they might have a history of issues with this woman and are frustrated. but i don’t care. i threw a fit, demanded a manager and blew off some steam. but no one there really got what i was angry about.
so screw this walgreens.
