Walgreens

The pharmacy is closed from 1:30−2 pm. Beware they will close early at 1:25 pm and leave you hanging. Take your business elsewhere.

Had my fair share of frustration with the pharmacy dept. of walgreens. This location however has continuously exceeded my expectations. Especially the girl with blonde trendy hair, she is –hands down– the best, sweetest, most accommodating I’ve ever encountered.
Suffering from migraines, I am constantly concerned with the status of my generic imitrex refills. The girl (mentioned above w/​blonde hair) literally brought me tears on one particular occasion where I desperately needed my rx in the midst of a severe migraine my insurance was being difficult ab refilling for me. I felt dumb at the time, being so concerned my refill, but she was so empathic to my situation without making me feel like a burden. And went above and beyond –though she didn’t need to– to ensure I got the care I so desperately needed.
The whole crew is godsend. I am beyond more than thankful I found a pharmacy that cares and would absolutely recommend this pharmacy to anyone, especially those who feel there’s not a caring pharmacy out there. Trust me, use this location. You’ll not be disappointed. I cannot stress this enough.
My sincerest thanks to this pharmacy’s general concern to their customers. It means to so much to those of us fed up w/​the disregard other pharmacies often offer.

Ridiculously bad customer service. I pressed the «bathroom call button» to have the men’s room unlocked. Grayson approached me from behind asking «Did you really have to do that?! I’m right here» I turned around, confused as to why he was upset, and asked him to unlock the bathroom door. He stopped in the middle of the doorway and demanded that I apologize for «being so crass». I asked Grayson if a manager would open the door, and he proudly smiled and pointed to himself saying «I am the manager». I left Walgreens that day without using the restroom. I hope Grayson is friendlier to the next customer.

There was a huge pile of puke outside their store that no one cleaned up, a homeless man begging for money right behind the puke, another homeless man using their phone at the photo center for over ten minutes, and the quality of my photos were so bad I had to return them. The current manager on site did not apologize for the poor quality and seemed to care less for that matter.

Cashier was very friendly and helpful. However the phone in hours stated that this pharmacy was open until 10. I rushed to prescription only to find that they actually closed at 9 PM.

It’s a typical Walgreen’s, pretty average. When I’m in N.E. this is the location that I prefer, because unlike the locations at MLK/​Ainswoth and Killingsworth/​33^rd which constantly have drunks and panhandlers sitting by the front doors, this particular location is vagrant-​free whenever I happen to stop here.
The only thing that I don’t like is the parking lot, its horrible! Small lot, really narrow parking spaces, and if there’s a delivery truck and/​or semi-​trailer making deliveries OMG! Last time, I wanted to just say screw it and park on the street, but all the surrounding streets are metered so you have to pay to park.

Friendly service and smiles is what I experienced at this Walgreens. Everyone was friendly and willing to help. The pharmacy had a good system of helping people at the consultation counter while still helping walk in customers. Overall very prompt and very friendly.

Walgreen’s has replaced Safeway as an establishment that annoys me every time I go there.
No, I don’t want to buy candy. No, I don’t want to donate money. No I don’t have a best friend card that tracks my purchases and doesn’t provide me any benefit. When did upselling become standard practice (movie theaters, you also can suck it). Please don’t say hi to me when I come in. It’s creepy. And hey, how about providing matches? I know smoking is worse than (fill in hot button issue here), but if you’re going to sell cigarettes…
Choose rite aid instead if at all possible.

I use this location for my pharmacy. The pharmacy staff is nice but nothing over the top. The location tends to have sketchy/​homeless people hanging out there.

Why are the ladies so nice here! I typically walk in for some simple last minute things, Mascara, Shampoo, lady products… etc. and usually right after the gym… and the ladies working the counters are so friendly! let it be said they have kind service, but I appreciate their kind gestures in recommending: the Buy-​One-​Get-​One 50% deals or doing a scavenger hunt through their coupon stash to help me out with knocking the price down… these ladies are the reason I keep coming to this location. They make me have a good laugh as I save 50 cents on some new fashion shade of lipstick, that’s some great feel good points right there!

They have batteries and 6-​hour energy. You read that right. Not just 5-​hour energy, but 6-​hour energy. Hence the extra star.

How exciting. If you have a iPhone or iPad there is a new app for Walgreens. You can send your photos from your phone to be printed direct. I couldn’t believe how efficient this app was. The hots are usually ready within 24 hrs. You have got to try it!

I just wanted to give a quick Thank You to the ladies who work the Photo counter. I drop off film weekly and I’m usually pretty particular about how it is handled.
Film is a dying medium. When you shoot photographs in film, you can’t just delete them and start over or erase the ones you don’t like. It’s also impossible to recover an image if something happens in the processing stages which is why I’m generally so particular about where my film is developed and who handles it.
Everyone there is always more than accommodating to me and I appreciate it so much! There are 2 or 3 ladies I deal with most often and they usually remember me and are very friendly. I have had less than pleasant experiences at other Walgreen photo departments (NE 33^rd, SE 39^th etc) and I appreciate the customer service at this branch, which is what keeps me coming back. Thank you!

Nothing too special about this walgreens. The layout was definitely a weird one, but I guess now that I think of it, that seems to be the majority of this chain’s stores. Not too much to it, but they definitely will have the more basic of supplies. One being cranberry juice and mountain dew for those times that you’re making cocktails and «Uncle Dewies.»
Thanks Walgreens for being there for me when I need something to mix my alcohol with.

I think I need to start a new list: «Best places in Portland to get pan handled.» Yep, you guessed it, the Walgreen’s parking lot is also one of them, and not all that far up the street from Pan Handler Central – Safeway.
That aside, this is a great all-​purpose drug store and one stop shopping for all your drug store products, prescriptions at the pharmacy, and other nonsense like seasonal candles, bad greeting cards, the occasional magazine or trash novel, candy, and other junk you might throw in the cart.
My only regret (not counting pan handlers) is that this one is not open 24 hours. Overall, a nice drug store in a very convenient location.
