Walgreens

Do NOT buy Walgreens «de lish» yogurt parfaits, they are NASTY!!! Had to throw mine away, it was disgusting.

Would give zero stars however the manager was pretty helpful. The woman who rang me up actually argued with me about whether my purchase would be reimbursed/​covered by my FSA coverage. RUDE!

Convenient location since it’s next to where I work so I could come here if I ever needed anything. I went here to get some vitamin C pills because everyone at work was getting sick so I decided to get something to boost my immune system.
Found a bottle which was buy 1 get 1! WIN!
One thing that made this an above average Walgreens were the friendly associates.

Tiny, cramped, don’t have a very big selection on anything. Came in here to get some hair dye on my lunch break and they didn’t even have my color. What’s the point of being in the FiDi for convenience when you don’t even have the same stuff as other Walgreens locations? I’ll walk the extra few blocks and stick to CVS — they always have my color in stock.

Q: «Hi, can I get the Duracell AAA 16 pack, please?»
A: «This one only ten nine nine, you Walgreen member?» «Only ten nine nine.» «You want?»
A: «No, I’m not a member.» «Can I have the Duracell?»
Q: «So you want 1099?»
A: «No, that one right there.» Can I have that one there?” «Is it $ 10.99?»
Q: Employee touches the «ten nine nine» battery.
A” No, below that.“
She grabs the Durcell.
Total price $ 11.98.

Having lived in the area for 7 years, I have been going to this Walgreens for all my prescriptions. Yet today, it finally clicked, in all that time, I’ve always had to wait at least 20 minutes to get my medication, whether it is lost faxes, pharmacists on breaks, or being ‘backed up’ by a whole 2 – 3 customers.
Today was the kicker — I get a robocall stating the prescription is ready for pickup, only to be asked to come back in 30 minutes.
And it finally clicked — why am I being a lemming. There are other options. I am now going to CVS a block away. Longer hours, open Sunday, and hopefully an more efficient pharmacy. Will let you know.

Seriously the worst, most incompetent Walgreen’s in the city. And that’s going some. Plus you get to parade down a sidewalk full of homeless that reeks of piss to get there. It’s an omen — turn back.

This Walgreens has a lot of homeless people walking in and out. Many things on shelves are locked and you need to find a staff to unlock it if you want to purchase it. Not my favorite Walgreens. I walk 3 blocks the other directions to the next Walgreens which is very nice and clean.

I was looking for a place that sells salad dressings yesterday and decided to stop here. They had a couple types, your standard ranch of course, but with a couple options. There was honey mustard and Caesar but I would think being in San Francisco that the options would be far greater and a little more healthy.
The check out process was quick but the roped off line to wait was small and cramped near an aisle cap.
I’ll return if I need a quick card but not for food items.

Guess what? They want to scan your drivers license when they fill a Rx. Not mandated by law, but a new company policy, oh goodie. What they won’t tell you upfront that this is optional or that this data will be collected, stored with your purchase information and then sold to 3^rd parties. Not much benefit to me or you, but just think of all the possibilities of your medical records are now voluntarily associated with your lifetime purchase history, available for purchase.
I’m done with Walgreens.

I’ve always liked going to this Walgreen’s because they have thee most friendly employees but now they’ve just upped their game — THEY HAVE A BAR GELATO FREEZER! And it’s right at the front when you enter the store.
The pistachio and blue bottle flavors are a must try! But I have to warn you that if you’re a huge ice cream fan like me, it’s real dangerous to start… I now come here every day.

The excellent customer service continues.
Today I came into store to use the photo center for the first time, and one of the cashiers patiently walked me through each little step, all the way to the end. She even told me about a special they were running for bulk photo printing.
Honestly, I think I have received better service here than at many high end stores in the Bay Area. The management is definitely doing something right.

Longest line ever. Every time. Its weirdly understaffed there. Buying tampons there is slower than fashioning them yourself from McDonald’s napkins. They don’t even bother with the ISEE3 business because its always «I see 7 and counting,» with just one or two cashiers helping.

Come early in the morning (before 10am) and you’ll be surprised to find a few parking meters free.
What was awesome, was this guy who was getting rid of a bunch of month overdue beverages. He offered us to take it all. Since he said it was going to just get tossed, we took it all and it saved me a trip to the grocery store for beverages. Yeah!
The ultimate reason why we came here, was to get some passport photos, which took a total of 20 minutes for two sets of two. It’s pretty expensive if you ask me. Some places, you can get four for the price of ten.
That’s why you should not come here when you are in a rush…
Plus, ff you care about how your photo looks, do not come here for your passport photos. It’s over-​exposed and on top of the semi-​glossed paper, it doesn’t look so nice. Try CVS, the quality of the photos are way better and look for coupons, because they usually have them for two dollars off.

i dont know why BUT this walgreens is the 2^nd best one around the financial district that has more stuff than others. i had been looking for the fruit stripe gum (the one wit the zebra) all surrounding Walgreens didnt have them but this one had 2 of the ones i was looking for.
Hate that feeling wanting something you cant have, you have to keep searching for it until you get your hands on it! hahaa oh man i have problems (;

This is definitely a drug store I can count on. I have never seen so much stuff crammed into a small space like this!
Because its in downtown SF. They have to cater to a lot of wants and needs. You can get a sandwich or even a fruit cup/​bowl if you want to avoid surviving on a processed energy bar until you so home. However, your candybar and snack food lusts can also be vanquished with a seven foot tall aisle of such items! Wish I had posted a photo!
Checkout is a breeze as well, even for the lunch rush. All of a few minutes.
I wish MY neighborhood Walgreens was like this one.
If you’re south of market. Pop in for your convenience store needs.
But don’t plan on easy parking here. I’m assuming you took public transit into town today…

This is my go to Walgreens when I am at work… they always seem to have what I’m looking for and more.
Decent selection of greeting cards for office birthdays and they have a nice selection of seasonal decorations.

This is a good location for getting your last-​minute items. Like most convenience stores, it’s very average in pricing. Each location seems to have different items, but this particular one is good for the basics.

Lines always move quickly here, even at the pharmacy. I can generally always find a staff member to help me if I have a question. AND, they’ve been nice enough to offer up a coupon if one is available, even if I didn’t know about it up front.
Great store!

Any place that sells! candy bluhd! (blood) definitely deserves 5 stars.
Happy Halloween!
