Walgreens

The other day i went to the pharmacy i go there constantly and they dont know how to welcome customers and sometimes they more socialize and criticized on customers than actually being helpful to customers. They are extremely rude and need to improve on their social skills. The next time i go there if i get that same treatment then ill make a complaint and call the corporate office and file a complaint towards employees so they can be teriminated. If you hired them then they need to show their enthusiasm towards customers and not be rude at times.

My favorite Walgreens. Large selection of products. Clean bright and efficient. Pharmacy is well run also

In terms of Walgreens, ecspecially in the city, I found this location to amongst the better choices. The pharmacy staff is friendly and in general attentive. The staff has many challenges dealing with customers and they seem to roll with punches pretty well. Much better than I personally could thats for sure.
The store was recently redone ans the layouts is extremely customer friendly. The cashiers lane is typically slow, so you have to include patience on your shopping list.
Who buys groceries at Walgreens? Some things never cease to amaze me, buy this store has some and people appear to buy them there.

The clerks at this location are little treasures. I wish I knew all of their names to mention them. Madeline is especially great. I wish this location sold booze. I love you my neighborhood Walgreen’s.

My entire family has been treated at their clinic for after hour and weekend illnesses. The nurse practitioners here are simply amazing. Very thorough/​capable, helpful and courteous. Sweet with the kids and very professional. They are not out to over-​prescribe antibiotics and know when to send you out for a higher level of care. The check in process is friendly and efficient too. There is sometimes a wait but it is well worth it given the high level of care provided.

I need to add that the pharmacy workers here are unfailingly pleasant, helpful and efficient. SO appreciated when dealing with insurance. Just great!
Oh, and the redesigned store is great, nice layout and a way better selection of stuff. And more snacks! Love it! The «Nice» brand is great — everything is top notch.

I had the most horrific experience a couple nights ago at this Walgreens, and because of this experience, I will never give Walgreens any of my business again (and trust me, I’ve spent A LOT of money there over the years). The whole incident began over a simple misunderstanding about what day I could pick up my prescription. Earlier that day, I was on the phone with my doctor discussing health insurance and what prescriptions I would need refilled this month. He mentioned that Walgreens had contacted him the day before and that they had automatically refilled my prescription. He said it was there for me to pick up. I thought it was a couple days early, but that wasn’t abnormal because Walgreens frequently fills my prescriptions a few days early without me asking. I remember them telling me once that prescriptions could be filled three days early, is that true? It’s never very consistent, so I usually stop by a little early just to check. On this particular evening, the pharmacist was a man I had never met before. All I did was walk up to the counter, tell him I was picking something up that I heard was ready, and then I gave him my name. Then he tells me it’s too soon to pick the prescription up. That’s odd, I wonder why my doctor said it was filled. All I say is that I’m confused because of what my doctor told me and I wonder if there had been a mistake. Well, the next thing I know, this man is raising his voice and scolding me for trying to pick up a prescription early — he’s talking to me like I’m a child and lecturing me about how it’s illegal. I try to explain that I’m not trying to do anything; I’m simply misinformed and confused. Well, this is where the shit hit the fan. He had no interest in hearing what I had to say and kept interrupting me. He keeps telling me that if I’ve run out of medication two days early, then I MUST be abusing the pills. I try to tell him that, no, that is not the case, and I start explaining from the beginning, but he keeps cutting me off. Finally, he says, «Fine, I’ll fill the prescription now but this is the last time I’m ever going to fill anything early again!!!» What!!! When did I insist that he fill it?! At that moment, I had no problem leaving and coming back in a couple days, but he JUST WOULDN’T STOP ACCUSING ME. I was so overwhelmed by the way he was speaking to me that I started to cry (I had just been though a very difficult day and just wanted to go home). So then he tells me to wait and I sit down in a chair until he comes back. When he does come back, he’s SCREAMING at me and waving the prescription in my face! He’s pointing at the date and yelling that it’s two days too soon. I’m mortified and upset at this point and I’m trying to tell him that I DON’T EVEN NEED THE PILLS TODAY and I’m only there because I was given the wrong information! He won’t listen though, and he storms off again like a child. The other pharmacy workers overhear this and automatically take his side, and now they’re all yelling at me and I’m standing there crying and trying to explain that I did nothing wrong. They’ve all decided that I’m some low-​life drug abuser or something, and they don’t want to show me any kindness. What they don’t realize is that I’m being treated for Generalized Anxiety Disorder and this whole situation had triggered a severe panic attack. It took everything in my power to hold myself together when I felt like I could barely breathe. Then one woman asks if I want the prescription or not, and I decide to go ahead and pay for the damn thing and get out of there so I never have to return to Walgreens again. Those people treated me like I was the scum of the earth, and I never ONCE asked them to fill that prescription that day. Unbelievable. I left there in tears and cried all the way home. I will never go back, not for anything. It’s wrong to treat people this way… you shouldn’t treat customers like this and you shouldn’t treat any human being this way either. The next time I need something, I will take my business over to CVS.

SO. FREAKING. SLOW. I’ve been here at 10:30 PM, only customer in the store and still had to wait over a half hour. Walgreens decided to give me both refills for my Wellbutrin scrip along with the month’s supply I had actually wanted. Not wanting to wait yet more time, I ignored their screw up and just took the whole shebang.
I try again, today. Months have passed, I have forgotten how bad Walgreen’s is. Place is almost empty, 11 AM on a Thursday. One would think yeah we can handle the super complex process of counting out 60 pills in less than 40 minutes. NOPE.
On top of that they decided to be the authority and screw up my Ritalin scrip while filling it. Despite my doctor explicitly writing 60 pills, they gave 45 because the language on usage did not say that I was to change dosing patterns after 3 days to the full 2/​day. Does Walgreens try to call my doctor to say hey what’s with the discrepancy? NOPE. That would cut into their video gaming time or whatever the hell they’re doing back there. Thanks to them I have another headache to deal with. I’ve been here for months and never again.
Unless this is somehow the only pharmacy that carries your meds, avoid like the plague. You’re not saving jack on meds either, prices are pretty bad to boot.

horrible.
Was waiting for my meds, for over an hour when i was told it would only be 10mins.
Than when i go ask for them, the woman says «wow they’ve been done since 6:25, i got them at 7:30.» They weren’t busy, just a bunch of employees not doing their jobs.

I never thought I’d be writing a review for Walgreens,
let alone a negative one.
let alone because of a damn bathroom.
For someone who has seen some scary looking public bathrooms, living in Chicago, the bathroom in this store left me feeling like I needed a chemical peel and scalding hot shower. & That is no exaggeration.
The bathroom literally had two stalls.
Problem number one.
This is one of the larger Walgreens stores. therefore having only two stalls is like begging for bathroom lines during rush hour.
Not good.
But you know what’s worse than two stalls?
Two DISGUSTING stalls.
One with s*** and piss all over the toilet and floor.
The other with toilet paper and piss all over the toilet and floor.
The stalls looked like they were competing with each other for some sort of award show.
«Which Stall Will You Catch The Transmittable Disease In First?»
I mean, the bathroom literally looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in 2 – 3 days.
The bathroom looked like a crime scene.
Even the bacteria in the bathroom were afraid they would contract something.
The bathroom looked like you needed a full body bio-​hazard protection suit to enter.
I’ve never been in a bathroom that made me want to wash my hands before I handled my business.
It felt like the longest, most painful 4 minutes ever. I almost felt like maybe I should hold it but Aunt Red was in town, so nature’s call was more like nature’s subpeona. it needed to be answered at once.
After I washed my hands like a mad man, I requested a manager. — Let me just take a second to clarify something to anyone who is secretly judging me, right about now: I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE ALWAYS REQUESTING TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER, EVERY LITTLE TIME I FEEL DISSATISFIED. I actually grin and bare it, 99.99% of the time. Which is what I explained to the manager, hoping he could then realize how serious it must be since I had to complain.
Long story short, he gave me the standard managerial phrase: «I’ll take care of it.» I really wanted to believe him, but the look on his face basically said what he probably wanted too. Something more along the ‘I could care less’ lines.
Needless to say, I did what anyone would do:
went home and bathed in hand santizer.

Called ahead to check the clinic hours & hauled ass there in a snow storm to get there by 4:30 since their automated system said they closed at 5. I was turned away and told they close at 4:30. They referred me to a clinic a mile away, thank goodness I have a car. I’ll never return to this store.

Open 24 hours.
It’s looks very bright and safe at night.
They have everything you would need late at night including freshly prepared food, icees, drinks, pharmacy items, and health-​related items.
It’s a convenience store, so expect to pay higher than normal prices compared to Target or Walmart.

I’d give no stars if possible. I switched my auto refill prescriptions there approximate 5 months ago. This location is closest to my home.
Twice when attempting to pick up my MONTHLY prescription that is on AUTO REFILL, I have been told that it is out of stock! I’m told they would have to order it, call around to see if another store has it and can get it to them or I can DRIVE to the location that has it! So you want me to drive to get my meds when this is my preferred pharmacy and its on auto refill! Major Fail Walgreens.
Some months it’s filled on time — I never know till the day I go pick it up. Surprise!
I don’t know their system but I take it everyday, its on auto refill every 28 days — and I will take it probably take it for the rest of my life– why can’t they see ahead of time that it is due to be picked up? Not to mention — with insurance it’s $ 45 .
I’ve called the district manager twice who is very nice and apologetic. Unlike the pharmacy personnel, who tell me my options of how I CAN GET MY refill prescription and never have an answer on WHY this keeps happening. They are the master of the shrug!
This time it took two days to fill it.-so much for a continuous medication! Two strikes, Walgreens. Once more and CVS will get my business.
Another drawback, I only use the drive thru at this location. I’ve stopped going inside due to the constant panhandlers in front of store and in parking lot.
Walgreens has lost my in store business (except drive thru pharmacy — for now) when they switched to the new 7 – 11 format. I hate the new format. I used to be able to run in to buy something quickly. Now, the layout is a maze, And there us entirely too much grocery items. Check out has roped off back and forth lines like the post office. The quick in amd out is gone. too many grocery items — I don’t need a deli and 7 – 11 at my pharmacy.

Had a sore throat that only got worse over several days, so went to the Take Care clinic without an appointment, as their website showed no available slots until the afternoon. I arrived, checked in (via kiosk) and was seen within minutes by Ms. Hadzic.
She was great. Checked me out, did a strep test that turned out negative and explained to me what that meant and what I might be able to do to alleviate my symptoms. She reviewed the paperwork so I could file it with my insurance company and showed me some OTC medicine that might work while nature takes its course.
I’m 39 years old and have only visited my doctor’s office in the rare instances that I’ve been really sick since they can be so unpredictable. This was my first time at a «clinic» and it was great. No appointment, was seen almost immediately by a competent professional and was out quickly — but not rushed. I’ll definitely be back.

The Pharmacy staff has been giving me the wrong information for over six years. The staff is rarely helpful since the remodel. I would change to CVS if not for the hassle. There is little benefit from owing their reward card. They have beggars in their parking lot or in front of the store, blocking one entrance. I am handicap. I have a placard to prove it. I have told the MOD when there are people illegally parked in the handicap spaces (at the Redbox). NOTHING. I have asked him or her to call for a tow truck. NOTHING. Walgreens in Andersonville, after ten years of this substandard service, you have a new customer. I will take the bus, endure another twenty minutes on the bus, but it is worth it.

I mistakenly went to this take care clinic again… and met with the same nurse. Again, she scolded me and stated that patients «make her life hard by self-​diagnosing». Pretty sure I know myself better than she does. She didn’t even examine me. Just stood above me and basically yelled at me. I let her know she had attitude and that I didn’t appreciate it and she continued her tyrade. I will be contacting Walgreens corporate about this woman and never visiting a take care clinic again.
UPDATE: I talked with Take Care’s corporate center and they were incredibly helpful and listened to my explanation of the situations. so FOUR STARS to them!

Not too much to say. I like this Walgreens. Online ²⁴⁄₇. Has two redbox locations. A fairly price on the pharmacy, but always very fast service in this department. Clean. What more can you say, it’s Walgreens!

The best walgreens in the area.
Wanna know how I know? Got there at noon on Saturday. The pharmacy line is really long and they move everyone through quickly and effeciently. Couldn’t be happier to have moved «homebase» Walgreens from the one up Broadway that looks like a bordertown Mexican swap meet.

All I can say is «Wow!» I have been a Walgreens customer since I was a kid, and when I was living in Santa Monica, CA, I was there for the store grand opening on Wilshire Blvd. Everyone thought I was out of my mind. No one could understand how anyone could be that excited about a drug store. I’ll admit, I guess it doesn’t take much to get me excited sometimes. I just never thought I was too cool to get excited, like some people I’ve met, particularly in L.A.
Maybe it was nostalgia, or maybe just common sense, but my allegiance to Walgreens was rewarded with consistently GREAT service, prices and a well-​stocked store. It kind of became my own little best kept secret. That store was never crowded, probably because the location didn’t get a lot of foot traffic (nothing in L.A. really gets a lot of foot traffic, because, like the song says, «Nobody walks in LA.») — that is, unless they’re from Chicago or NYC. That store had also become known as the «celebrity Walgreens.» Because it was so less crowded than the Rite-​Aids and CVSs, famous people would shop there because no one would bother them. I recall seeing Alec Baldwin and once almost literally ran right into Benjamin Bratt with his über-​gorgeous wife. But I digress.
Now back to this store. I had been living in the Gold Coast area and was beyond joyous about all that area had to offer me. However, despite the fact that there are Walgreens all around, they often did not stock the sale items at all, I found, because they had limited space. That is NOT the case with this Walgreens!
The store is spacious, didn’t seem cramped at all and they had ALL of the sale items I was in search of. In fact, I even found a box of crackers that I had a coupon for that they had signs up apologizing for NOT having. Someone was smiling upon me yesterday, for sure.
They do, however, lock up coffee. Coffee? Really? I guess I shouldn’t be shocked that people steal it. There was a buzzer right there and a salesperson came very quickly to open the cabinet and get some for me. And very courteous, too. I rarely drink the stuff, but like to have it on hand. So happens, theyd’ marked down DD coffee AND I had a coupon! Score!
At the counter, the salesperson who rung me up was sooo nice. Not at all aggravated at my coupons — in fact, mentioned that he thought it was cool. He even asked where I got some of them — so I told him «go online… sign up and they come right to your mailbox!» He, too, marveled that I found a box of crackers that the store had been out of.
I had a very pleasant shopping experience at this store and will make it my neighborhood go-​to for every visit!

oh yeah! Drive through baby!
That’s right! 24 hour donothavetogetoutofyourcargetoutofyourpajamas convenience right here! And they mean it! You can drop your prescription off, go through another drive through, get a coffee, and drive through again. City living at its finest!
Actually, these pharmacists are awesome, the wait times can be a bit long, but– who cares! You can do it in comfort. They also deliver!
Rock on!
