Walgreens

I have been using this store for years, I feel the pharmacy stuff is knowledgeable/​caring and very helpful. It’s has been a pleasant experience dealing with them. Even though I moved to San Jose I still keep using this store for my medicine needs. Thanks!

if you ever need a pharmacy, i suggest that you do not go here and make them one of your nearest or bestest pharmacy! the pharmacist employees are all interns and are not the profesional pharmacists! they don’t know what they are doing, the are rude and can’t even explain to the customer/​patient what is wrong with their requested prescription or whatever! they are like the first and only stupidest pharmacy here in milpitas compared to all the other pharmacy out there!!! i hope they will get fired for mistreating customers/​patients and i don’t know how they even got hired here in the first place!!!

The pharmacy team there is so helpful and knowledgable. I came in to pick up several prescriptions, after I had a difficult time at a different pharmacy, and they were quick and friendly to assist me. When I noticed one of my medicine was not covered by my insurance the lady behind the counter, Trang, helped me find an alternative that would be covered. Also, another medication I needed was not sent through, so she assured me she would be in contact with my doctor so I can get my proper medication. The team proceeded to put together what they can of my prescription order in a timely manner. They were all so helpful and friendly. Glad I went here today.

Tonight, my wife lost her wallet in the store, when we go back to there, ask the guy there (long hair, handsome) he really keep it, after make sure is Our’s wallet. He give back to us, all the stuff in side, thank him a lot! We are too exacting forget ask his name, but his work time for nov 9 that day night time. Thanks him again!

After 4 pages over the loudspeaker for someone to come to the photo department and 15 minutes of waiting during my 30 minute lunch break, someone came to help. She helped quickly, but unfortunately the delay took so much time that it wasn’t possible to eat during my lunch break and I had to wait several hours until my next break. It shouldn’t take more than one page to bring an employee to the photo desk. I didn’t appreciate having my time wasted, and will probably not be back to this store. Store is clean and neat.

Super friendly pharmacy staff, makes sure you get things and fast! There’s also a very sweet customer service lady who works at cosmetics and is so courteous and friendly. I love it when larger chain stores take the extra step with customer service.

I live next to a Walgreen and i go because its convenient. the reason i give it 3 stars is because it can be very overpriced and i just found out i wasn’t getting my points on my card because they never mentions i had to update my email, for like 3 months. that was very disappointing. They have very nice employees but the one who stands out is faith when ever i go shes super nice and friendly she recently told me she was quitting, sad to see her go.
Ps. the guy who told me about my card not getting my points looked high :/​and the only reason it even bothered me was because he made me feel uncomfortable.

Came here today with my cousin looking for some cough drops. We were pleasantly greeted by a store employee upon walking in which is pretty out of the norm for drug store/​supermarkets, but it really does add a friendly vibe to the place. The cashier at the checkout stand was also very cheerful and nice. The store associates were so nice and commendable that I just had to write a review. 4 Stars overall despite the amazing customer service since I personally find Walgreens to be overpriced in some regards.

I always go to this Walgreens because its closest to my home. I ordered photo cards online to be picked up from store. When I got there, had to wait for someone to come to the counter. This Asian lady came up and asks me my name then walks away in literally FIVE seconds! After she walks away she came back to tell me they had problems with their printing machine or something so it’s not ready. Then I ask her why she didn’t call me to tell me that so I don’t have to come here for nothing. Then she said she thought I was one of her co-​workers so she called that girl instead. She didn’t even check to see that it’s a different person! Hence different phone number and email address! I was so furious because I spent a while crafting this photo card for my moms birthday. So now I have to go order at a different photo location and wasted gas coming here when this girl is so careless and called the wrong person.
So since I came here and couldn’t get what I wanted, I decided to go look around. Ended up getting candy since it was 3/​$ 2 haha. I got a veeerrrryyy bad vibe from the cashier. She didn’t even smile or ask me if I had a Walgreens Rewards card (they always ask for that). I had to tell her I have the card, which I don’t really mind but I was pissed from the photo thing. Bad enough, she gave me the WRONG change back. I calculated in my head before I left the store and she messed up on the change. I then came back to tell her and she was like «oh shit». No sorry or anything. Then stood there looking hella mad. She then angrily gave me the right amount back AFTER I told her the math-​_​-​. It seems like I gotta do everything when I come here! Ugh, I would’ve been more understanding and stuff if she just seems like she was having a bad day but noooo she only treated me like that. The previous customers before me had better treatment so I was like «uhhh what’s her problem with me». It seems I have to figure out everything here by myself, I might as well work here. Absolutely no help at all, Thanks Walgreens!

Walgreens is sometimes my choice (depending on price) for eye care wetting solution. no on sale items today.
saw california rolls in the cooler and asian snacks on the counter. beer selection limited and pricey.
eats: «miaow miaow» prawn chips (1)
–very tasty, has palm oil, various types of msg…
crumbs:
–service slow till 2d line opened up.

Oh my gosh. TERRIBLE photo service here. Monica (I think that was her name. A what-​looks-​to-​be Afghani young woman), from the photo department… I went to Walgreens to get my passport picture taken, Monica tells me I will get 2 sets of photos for $ 11.99 with each set containing 2 photos. After about thirty minutes, I came back to pick them up and pay, but guess what? Monica decides to not honor the deal she had previously stated and change it to receiving 2 photos for $ 11.99, rather than the previously agreed upon 4.
NEVER coming here to get my photos developed or taken again.

Check out in the beauty or photo department. There is an exceptionally rude white lady with glasses that is always there and she will annoy you. I only go here because its close. That lady has been rude to me over a year now, no clue why. Also this store runs out of everything on sale. So be prepared to grab a rain check. They let a few ladies come in and do 100+ transactions on the sale items.

Great place and staff they always stock their shelves.

Flu shot! The ladies at the pharmacy were very nice and there was no wait at all on a week day afternoon.

We come to this Walgreens since it’s the closest to us, and for the most part it’s what you would expect of a Walgreens. We have gotten a lot of our holiday decorations here as well when they have them on sale.
The Pharmacy is great in that they have a drive through, and the contraption is pushed out very far so it’s not never an issue of parking to far away.
One of the pharmacists though is not the greatest to deal with, had to pickup a medication and when she gave it to us she asked if we needed an explanation, at first we said no and then went back. She gave an attitude like we were stupid and should just read the instructions and read them back to us. When we told her about an issue that we might have on following it she changed her attitude and then didn’t have an answer and told us to contact the doctor.

When my mom wants photos printed, I order and pay for them online to be picked up here since she lives close by and can pick them up herself. Very convenient. Photo quality is decent.

It’s really weird what you get wrapped up into sometimes. Friends and I were talking about things you ate as a kid. Someone mentioned Bob Evans? As a CA native I have no clue what that is. Apparently they make breakfast meats. I countered with Jimmy Dean and then we decide we’re going to go into Walmart and see what stuff they have as we grew up. Bing. Jimmy Dean. Bing Red Baron. White Castle? I never had it but friends sure did. They we discussed the proliferation of one product into many flavors. Pringles, Doritos, etc etc. It got kind of ridiculous. Then we started looking at the «Made On TV» junk and surprisingly a good selection of DVDs. Requiem for a Dream? that was a fucking awesome movie and relegated to 1.99 aisle. Well my friend sure scored. Crazy how you can waste time in a place. 3.5 stars

This review is just for the retail part.
I don’t frequent Walgreens much, so I’m not sure if all Walgreens are like this, but…
There’s DVDs (new & used) for 1.99 & up. Gotta scour the bin to find the good stuff, but I scored 3 new DVDs of good movies (yes, there’s a lot of junk like straight to video movies you have to sift through) for 1.99 each! Cheaper than going to the movies, which I often don’t get around to doing while the movie is playing in the theater.
Since the neighborhood is very largely Asian (the bulk of the shopping center across the street is Asian – restaurants, grocery, etc., other than McDonald’s), there’s even an Asian food item section Sriracha sauce, ramen, rice vinegar, etc.
I noticed that they have a drive thru for the pharmacy.
They’ve got a large parking lot.
On the southwest corner of Dixon & Milpitas.

The lady at the counter was rude rude rude. Like the bon qui qui attitude, but better. I came in for 2 packs of $ 1.50 off skylines and was told there was only 1 left. She didn’t bother checking both sides or canceling the marlboro king she accidently scanned. I could’ve save $ 2 if she checked BOTH SIDES. 2 stars though for the convenience and the promotions.

This store is always a hit or miss, but I would like to speak only about the Pharmacy staff. I’ve been coming here for years and I have not had the best customer service until today.
I have recently been going through the drive thru window to pick up my medication and the pharmacy technician who was assisting me today was very friendly. She had asked me if I wanted to be enrolled in the automatic refill each month and if I did she would sign me up for it right then and there. She also asked if I would like to recieve texts messages about my prescription. She was very helpful and I wish all the Pharmacy staff would always be that nice each time I pick up my medication!
