Walgreens

Prescriptions for my husband and my flu medications were late multiple times. Considering some medications for flu and cold do not work after a certain number of hours after symptoms appear, this is unacceptable. The service is meh and there’s just not much else to say about this mediocre pharmacy.
The actual store itself is fine. I browse sometimes for drugstore cosmetics but have yet to be able to find a Revlon lip product here with its seal unbroken. Gross.

I came here to get some vaccinations. It’s very convenient and has plenty of parking. The pharmacist (I forgot his name) was extremely nice and accommodating. It was extremely busy when I showed up but he was still pleasant and patient.

Pharmacy errors charged my primary insurance company instead of going through workers compensation. When I realized this, they had already billed a couple months worth. I had specified that it would not be acceptable, so they kept doing it. Not sure how to fix this, when I spoke to a pharmacy representative he kept interrupting me and was clearly stressed out himself, I’m not happy with the added stress, and headache. Caution to anyone who gets their prescriptions filled and has two insurances, especially if one is the shameful workers comp.

Haven’t been here to shop, usually go to CVS. I stopped by to buy the Renaissance Faire tickets since they were discounted here. It was quick and easy to buy! The print outs of the tickets were pretty bad, they were low on ink, the faire accepted the tickets no problem so yay again!

Only one cashier at night. Line was super long. Called somebody to help in photo, after 5 min, nobody has come. It seems as if there is only one guy working by himself in here with no help. Get it together Walgreens.

Open till 11pm, clerks are chill, and the prices are good. They got everything for your cranky girlfriend, nasty infections, energy drink cravings, broken phone charger, your beach trip supply list, and more.

This pharmacy has messed up filling my prescriptions about 60% of the time.
My Dr. writes «no generic» and they still replace it with a generic and their error causes me to have to wait additional time and make two trips to their location.
If one of my meds has been updated with a new dosage, they’ll always fill it with the old dosage despite me telling them which one I want which makes me have to wait longer to pick it up and make two trips to their location.
Their automated telephone system is never correct: it tries to replace correct prescriptions with generics and/​or wrong dosages and tells me when something is ready to be picked up whenI discover when I arrive that it isn’t ready at all and it tells me that a medication has been put on hold but not for how long. It’s extremely inconvenient to receive so many pointless phone calls. I’ve asked to be deleted from their automated system, or not receive the automated phone calls at all any more, and I’ve been told that I can’t.
Their corporate office must have integrated an old account account for me with the one I’ve been using for the last 8 years, because they randomly started trying to contact me at a 15 year old number that I had forgotten I even had. I had to ask them to delete it from my account but where did they even get that phone number from anyway!!! And why did they think it was me primary phone number after having the correct number for so long? That was a little weird and a little freaky too.
They’ve told me 30 minutes and the order is still not filled an hour later on more than one occasion.
Their managing pharmacist is really good, but if it’s not him filling the order then it’s probably going to be wrong.
Two or three of their counter folks are really good too, but most of them just seem over-​worked and/​or stressed out, which might be why they make so many mistakes.
I have to double check whatever I’m picking up EVERY TIME and I’ve never had to do that with another pharmacy before.

Came by the drive through to drop off and pick up my prescriptions. The gentleman at the window was very polite and efficient, he said they would be filled within an hour and a half. We had lunch and came back in an hour, and they were ready. Good experience!

DO NOT use the pharmacy at this Walgreens location. I used the auto-​refill prescription option online on my Walgreens account. I received an email that my prescription was ready. When I went into this location for my medication, the pharmacist told me that, and I quote: I wasn’t allowed to refill my prescription because I had moved and my doctor would not authorize the refill. I was told that I would «need to get a new doctor because I had just moved out of state.» This is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. There were a lot of people in line at the pharmacy at the time and I’m almost positive that this person wanted me to leave just to handle other customers. I called my doctor, authorized my prescription (again), and picked it up. But I will never, ever go back here. The pharmacists are irresponsible and will not provide you with accurate information.

I’m surprised this Walgreens got such low rating. When I first walked in I was greeted by a gentleman on the cash register and then greeted by another employee further in the store who helped me find what I was looking for. I mainly buy over the counter items and have yet to experience the service at the pharmacy inside.

all employees there are no smile at all. no customer services… I walked up to the cashier to pay and after I finished, the cashier did not say a word to me at all. He did not say HELLO at first, then did not tell me total cost, and no THANK YOU after I paid. They all looked boring or like zombies, no expression…
what is wrong with them? They all need to retrain for professional customer services + they need to smile.

One star for unprofessional customer service. I walked in and one of the employees greeted me all lousy and unhappy like she didn’t want to work there. So, I get the merchandise I needed and came back to purchase at the register. It was the same employee, that was on her phone and had a disturbed, boring expression on her face. One tip for the employees: smile, please! Or else pick another job that makes you satisfied.

I’ve been to this location a few times with no problems. I usually get my prescriptions filled next door to my doctors office, but was told they didn’t carry one of them there, so I decided to drop it off here at their drive– thru pharmacy. As I pull up and give the girl my prescription she asked for my insurance card. I got the dirtiest look from her. I guess she didn’t like the fact that I was driving a nice car, and had a medi-​cal card (which of course is none of her business) anyhow, she asked what plan I belonged to, and I blanked out because I had some changes made a while back and I had been here before years back, I figured I would be in their system. Anyhow, she was talking to me like I was stupid and her attitude was really bad. She then proceeded to tell me what my plan was, telling me in the rudest way «because you should know what plan you have». I was appalled at this girls attitude and contacted Walgreens about it, which of course I never got a response. I was so mad I didn’t even get her name! Young Hispanic, light skinned girl with brown hair. I will NEVER EVER fill my prescriptions at walgreens! I would rather wait hours in line somewhere else than put up with this type of customer service.

Overcharged on my bill, went back to get a my $$ returned to me & some of the rewards points I cashed ended up on a Walgreens card so straight back to them. What’s the point in redeeming points if ur going to take it back? won’t be going back for a while!

This review is mainly for the PHARMACY!!! The service here is ridiculous… I dropped off my nephew’s prescription and the lady pharm tech wasn’t happy because i wasn’t sure which insurance company he is with. Afterwards she said 15 – 20 minutes wait… I came back in about 20 minutes and she said almost done… so I sat there and waited… my nephew just got his tooth pulled out and was still bleeding so I asked the lady pharm tech if I can have some tissues and she said no tissues… only these brown paper towel… clearly there were some on the counter. Racist or what? Evil inconsiderate person… I m asking for a little kid not even for myself. Afterwards she called me to pick up the meds and was like wait let me ring up the other guy since he got there first… are u freaken serious? First off, I came first asking if the meds were ready and was already sitting there waiting…2^nd, if you wanted to help another then why bothered to call me to pick up the med.
The employees here doesn’t care about their customers… The man came outta no where and tried to explain the instructions but was constantly running off… rushing to leave or something. Stupid!
Seriously, if you’re unhappy with your job then quit… you are getting paid for what you’re doing so you should treat your customers right. You don’t pay us to come so don’t give us your attitudes.
You don’t necessarily have to smile but act more professional…

why does this walgreens only have 3 stars? came here to get cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 from their red box kiosk. i’ll admit, i was a little hesitant as i never venture to this area of alhambra and rarely go to walgreens, period. however, with limited kiosk selections, we figured this was the most convenient location.
when we got in, my boyfriend went to get the movie while i ventured to the snacks in attempt to find puffcorns — unfortunately the ralphs we visited before did not stock them!
i found the puffcorns and headed to the redbox kiosk where the photo tech was telling my boyfriend what a great movie cloudy is and how shes watched it several times with her children. the cashier was equally nice and complimented our snack choice in the puffcorns.
all around, great trip to walgreens with delightful conversations with the workers!

I always get my pictures printed here. So easy to upload and order online. Sometimes they are busy though, and pictures are not available until the end of the day or even next day. There’s always a coupon though, and would rather go here than get pictures printed at the local Costco nearby.
Have also gone here the last two years to get my annual flu shot. The pharmacist and staff are pretty friendly. Short wait when they’re busy. Have also gotten prescription meds here and pretty satisfied. There’s a drive-​thru window for the pharmacy which I’ve used once. Prefer to walk in to look for deals while waiting for prescription order.
Granted it’s a drug store, but I wish they had more of a selection in their food section. Somewhat limited, but there’s a Fresh and Easy and Target nearby.

I get my photos here all the time. They always have some good deal on the processing.

It’s open early! I love that I am able to stop by before heading to the office if need be. Walgreens carries pretty much any last minute things you could possibly need.

This Walgreens location is a pretty large store compared to others one. I like how the store clerks noticed I needed some help and they were on top of it!
I came in only wanting to buy one item but since a lot of things were on sale I ended up getting a whole basket full! This Walgreens location is located in Alhambra off Main St. They have a pharmacy drive through for this one as well!
The inside of the store when I went was very organized and I saw many workers in different isles keeping the place nice and clean! I don’t really shop at Walgreens because most of the time the stores are small and they don’t carry a lot of things.
But this Walgreens had what I needed and much more. I’m glad I stopped in here to check it out.
