Walgreens

80 years old staff at the cashier need hearing aid bad. I always have a problem checking out with him, also not that friendly. He asked me if I need a bag, I said «PLEASE» loud and clear. He gave me my stuff without the damn bag when I told him I said I need a bag he said he did not hear me with an attitude! Prefer not to check out with him. Thank you very much!

Super convenient. Pharmacy staff is helpful and friendly… and fast! Definitely my go-​to pharmacy… and sometimes my last minute grocery store.

An old man rang up my purchases. He had orange hair, tall, lanky, the kind of man who you can tell could have once crooned Italian-​American love songs or drank onstage with Dean Martin.
The aisles are quite well-​stocked and it’s spacious. I wish they’d carry Almond Milk. Nice selection of stickers and postcards. If you want to send gifts of San Francisco or have souvenirs from the city, Walgreens is always a top recommendation. The prices are fair and are certainly not ”tourist prices” — my personal pet peeve.
Recommended brands include Kashi, house brand Delish, and the Bai Ipanema Pomegranate Juice ($ 1.49 on sale).

This place is a disgrace to walgreens. An absolute disgrace. They don’t deserve to be called walgreen. You have rude employees following you around because they’re intimidated by me. And then laughing with your co worker about me while I’m in the store. You dont do that. I will never set foot in this walgreen s ever because they don’t deserve my business.

The pharmacy employee «John» was the most unprofessional and rude person I have ever dealt with! He tried to run my insurance for my prescription. After approximately 1 minute he told me that my insurance was not accepted at Walgreens. End of story. He tossed my id and medical card back at me, and even when I pleaded with him to try to get it processed because I had made certain that Walgreens was on the participating provider list, he refused. I have never had a customer service person be so unhelpful! He had no interest in helping me, so I asked for his manager. The manager came over and helped me and within 2 minutes my prescription was filled and paid for! The manager was excellent and friendly, but I want to make sure that nobody else has to encounter the horrible customer service that John gave me. He should not be working there IMO.
He saw that the manager easily processed my insurance and instead of saying something like «oh I am glad it worked out» he made a snide remark about how he was not rude and then snobbishly said «goodbyeee!» as I left. I work in customer service and I am very insulted by this experience and will reconsider using walgreens for my pharmacy needs because of his poor attitude, lack of customer service, and general unfriendliness. I must say though, the pharmacy manager was very pleasant and very helpful and resolved the challenge that John was having.
Maybe John was having a bad day but he shouldn’t have treated me like that. Very disappointing considering I live one block from this store and now I don’t want to go back! I don’t usually complain but it was really bad. I am posting a Unilocal review because nobody should have to experience the «wrath» of John the pharmacy employee.

The staff here are the nicest ones in all the millions of walgreens i’ve been into in sf.

please add a fax number for the pharmacy to the website. 15 minutes on hold for a pharmacy fax number is really bad service.

Well, it’s bigger and closer to me than the Walgreens on Castro, so that’s a plus there. And since Lower Haight has been sadly bereft of its own Walgreens for a while now, it will have to do.
But just you wait ’til that CVS opens up… game changer there.

Unbeknownst to me, you now have to present a card that allows you to receive the marked discount. It is misleading, because the chain for so many years did not have this system in place.
The clerk sold me overpriced toilet paper. I know it is on me to be aware I am being overcharged. But in knowing that the customer is about to be overcharged and not asking for a rewards card, just seems fishy to me.
I returned with my receipt after hours, as I miraculously able to get in just as a customer was leaving. They were irritated with me, and did not hesitate to communicate their anger with each other by rolling eyes as if to say, «WTF is this asshole doing! It’s his fault that we overcharged him!»
She gave me the correct change by throwing the money on the counter with the change scattering everywhere, Their anger and their apathy was both palpable with the implication that it was somehow okay that they had overcharged me.

I’ll give them credit; they are miserable and indentured to a company that they really don’t care about. I don’t blame them. Even if I take away the shoddy customer service — I still contend with the fact that I have to be crossing my t’s and dotting my i’s just to ensure I get a discount. Well now I know, and knowing is half of the battle.

The passion I expect from a Walgreens is a bit lacking I think. Fully stacked shelving and good construction. The one over by the Safeway is worse but Oakland has cleaner stores compared to this. I go to other stores is what I am saying my friends but no offense. Is a good company with good savings. And I like this. Yes.

Love this Walgreens for a couple of things.
I go here when Safeway is out of over the counter meds.
I go here to buy postcards of SF to send back home. Last time I think I bought about 15 for around $ 3. Super!
I go here when my makeup runs out.
I go here when I need sunblock for Dolores Park.
I go here when I have my wisdom teeth out and need ice cream as food.
I mean really, what else can I ask for.
The employees are nice. The store is orderly and clean for a potentially high traffic dirty location.
I’ve never had a run-​in with a weirdo.
And it’s right outside the entry /​exit of the muni underground near the corner of Market and Church.
Yay! I’m a fan.

I am usually not a fan of chain stores, but honestly, living next to a walgreens pharmacy in SF is really life changing. It is such a staple in modern times, medicine, mostly is what I would go in for, and also gossip magazines. It would be nice if this place became more alligned with a ‘pharmacia’ type establishment though, still offering to fill more major Rx brands. I never really bought anything from the actual store, besides bad for me junk food and hair ties… oh and toothpaste, band-​aids, etc. etc. etc.

I love going to this walgreen. Everything is organize. And its really clean.
I buy most of my stuff here.
Its convenient and really. One really smiling lady cashier makes your day real good.

Nicely stocked Walgreen’s in the middle of the Castro, with a little bit of everything. It’s not the newest, it’s not the nicest, but it has it all, it’s predictable, it’s priced like every other Walgreen’s, and this morning when I had coffee breath before an interview and needed to hit some spearmint gum right quick, there they were, as reliable as ever…

a roomier alternative to the Walgreen on Castro, but I’m not that impressed. I was very disappointed to learn that I could not return something from the Castro store here… so much for walking all the way over there

The actual store is good – clean, well-​stocked and organized.
There is one pharmacist, however, who is a complete ass. His name is Johnny and all I can tell you is that he is surly, rude and unpleasant to deal with. He basically acts as if he’s doing you a huuuge favor by acknowledging your presence and getting your prescription.
Oh, and check your receipt. He basically charged me twice for the same prescription and I unfortunately threw out the package the prescription came in so couldn’t prove that I was charged twice.

I love this wallgreens. I wish it was open 24 hrs but I can wander over to the 18^th st/​castro one if need be. This one is closest to my house, has parking & the folks that work there are nice. Ok William makes my day, cheers me when I’m sad (just by making sure I know what coupons are coming up!). Just met Susie over in cosmetics who helped me with my glitter obsession.
The lines go quick. Oh! and best of all flu shots are easy & quick there.
I did love Longs, but that drugstore is no move & I dislike cvs. It’s nice to have a drugstore nearby that’s so easy.

I am so grateful for this Walgreens whenever I visit SF. It is walking distance from where I usually stay. It always has just about everything I’ve forgotten to bring, and back before everyone used digital cameras, it was where I brought my film to get developed quickly and efficiently before heading on to my next destination.
It is a much friendlier, well-​stocked, and more interesting Walgreens than any in the greater Denver area where I live.
And I like it better than the other Walgreens stores in SF too.

This is the only place I’ve ever been accosted by a crazy man who loudly inquired why I was buying condoms. His theory: I was a «nasty girl». I’m not saying he’s not right, but, still…
The store and staff aren’t bad, but, the location makes average shopping more… interesting.

Awesome location for when we stayed at the MArriott nearby during our annual convention.
Loved the small Chinese trinket fortune men – got the life’s journey one. Very good chocolate sugar wafers made in Italy. Very convenient! Right place, right time, right $.
