Walgreens

I choose to spend my money here, and received a faulty product. When brought to the attention of management I was treated poorly and not compensated. I recommend choosing a differerent drugstore nearby

If you enjoy having a very rude pharmacist fill your prescriptions, as well as very poor customer service from the tech’s– go here! Seriously, every time I have had to interact with the pharmacist (or have seen any other customer work with him) he’s a real jerk. He uses a really condescending tone and you can tell he doesn’t want to be there. The techs have very poor communication as well, when I asked them to transfer a prescription to another pharmacy (had enough of the «delightful pharmacist») they filled it instead… Go elsewhere!

For the second time in a row I had to correct Rosemary the cashier about the right way to pronounce my name. It is not CARLA. Her excuse: she’s American. And I venture to say, of the southern persuasion, if one listens carefully to her thick accent. You need to keep that ignorant boor from dealing with customers. I’ve lived in Portland most of my life and NEVER heard anyone maliciously mispronounce my name like that TWICE in a row.

This is the worst pharmacy I have ever been to. It’s near my house so I thought I would try it. Only one male employee has ever been friendly to me. I think he is the pharmacist. I was wounded in combat and now require long term chronic pain meds. When I give them my Rx they always look at me like a drug abuser it something. Plus they claim it takes 1.5 hours to fill my Rx. Even when I go in the middle of the day. Horrible service and snotty employees.

Had a better experience the 2^nd time around at this pharmacy.

Despite the girl who checked me out. Very nice. I came in here around 3:00pm I was standing at an end cap and this old woman (I’m guessing she was part of management because she was dressed different than everyone else and her head was so large for her shoulders from all the gloat that comes with it) comes swinging around the corner running into me. She proceeding to make a grunting noise as if I pissed her off. Mumbled to herself and walked around an island display and looked back shooting a nasty nasty look at me and talking sh*t to herself. OK. Srsly. This lady needs to get checked. I will now call corporate and complain about how rude she was for no reason as if I was in her home bothering her. I have never in my life gotten glared at by an employee because I’m in THERE way. Wtf. Go work night shift you old hag if you have a problem with people SHOPPING in a STORE during the DAYTIME. Or better yet social security is probably calling your name. Read the other reviews. ~ never again will I be back to help support her paycheck.

It’s a busy place here on the corners of Barbur and SW Capitol Highway. Fortunately, my Son and I walked over to this Walgreens from our Hotel (and back) and lived to write this review.
The primary purpose of our patronage were snacks for us, beer for me, and a few forgotten toiletries thrown in the plastic bags not yet banned in this neck of the woods. It was also Erev Halloween, which made for more interesting locals to watch and amuse.
Past that, this place is what it is, a big cookie cutter outpost of a large national chain, albeit a clean and cheery one. And consistency certainly counts.

It is a great place, nice customer service, clean place, and i liked it a lot. The best thing is that this location is so close to my house.

The customer service I received was ridiculous. (The employees were nice, yes, but their training in business management/​customer service needs serious help). I went in to get a couple passport sized photos. I originally asked for 2 for the price of $ 11.16 or so, the employee asked if I wanted any additional ones and I replied with the question, «will the price remain the same?». The employee responded with a «yes, the price will be the same regardless of how many you receive».
So, I understood this as a «great, regardless of the number of copies I receive, I’ll pay $ 11.16», which surprised me yes, which I felt was obvious in my response when I appeared surprised (since logically, more photos printed costs more, but it sounded like a flat price).
I went in the next day to buy the photos and it came to a total of $ 39.95. I started by saying that I was not told it would be that price, can we please look into it? After there was no resolution, i asked for the manager. When the manager approached me, i calmly expressed my situation and frustration. I explained, «I understand it may cost more for each pair of photos, however, that’s not how it was understood. I was told that ‘regardless of how many you get, the price stays the same’».
I said that I refused the pay the 40 dollars and asked for the 8 photos for the original price I was led to believe it would cost. She refused and said I had to pay the $ 39.95 for the 8. They took three pairs of photos out, and I paid for the one pair.
I see 6 photos sitting on their counter (that is not included in the $ 11 that I paid) that they’ll only be forced to toss. They cannot gain anything by keeping them. Frustrated even more, I asked to talk to her again.
When I explained that they are only going to toss those three pairs away, I would like to take them considering I paid what I originally understood would cost for all 4 pairs. She said, «It costs us money and we can’t give them away for free». I understand the logic, printing more photos costs more money (which is why I was originally surprised the price would «remain the same»).
But the situation is this, I paid what I thought it would cost, but you refuse to resolve the situation with an upset customer by giving them the 6 additional photos that you CANNOT do anything else with. You’re not making any money by keeping them. You’re only losing money by letting me leave frustrated and ensuring I leave a negative review and NOT coming back. The frustration in a customer and the negative review is much more of a loss than giving me the 6 passport sized photos you’ll have to toss. Great customer service guys!

I moved to the neighborhood recently and switched from Rite Aid to Walgreens. It wasn’t as smooth of a transition as I’d hoped. I don’t like the refill system at Walgreens, as I felt harassed by the number of calls asking me if I wanted a refill, then a phone call every day I didn’t pick my refill up once it was ready. I finally asked the pharmacist to take me off the call list, and he made it seem like it wasn’t such an easy process. The calls finally stopped. Then after refilling one of my prescriptions, I asked one of the pharmacy techs to place a prescription on auto-​refill. When a month passed and it was time for the refill to be renewed, I called the store to check to see if the prescription was ready. It wasn’t, and I asked why because the tech told me she had put it on auto refill. It wasn’t placed on auto refill, and the pharmacist on the phone didn’t seem the least bit sorry or surprised. I finally set up an account online to do it myself.
The store is nice and new, but if I have one more problem with one of my prescriptions I’m switching pharmacies. I also wish the pharmacy had longer hours of operation. Not open until 10am on Sundays? Yikes.

For a Walgreens this place is Top Notch.
This bright little location popped up pretty fast this year. It’s super clean and well organized. I love stopping by for all my basic necessities on my way home from work. I really try not to spend a fortune here. I seem to buy way more than I come in for. This week they’re selling leggings for $ 5.99 in a complete rainbow of colors. I bought two pair and they ROCK. No need to spend a fortune on leggings. I’m still only slightly embarrassed to admit I bought leggings at Walgreens.
In October they had Pumpkin Spice Beer by Elysian. Who knew Walgreens could be so hip? So yeah, the toilet paper brings me in but the pink mascara keeps me smiling.
Every single employee has been super friendly and helpful. Excellent service.
It’s such a treat to pop in here every week.

Staff was friendly but I got totally ripped off on the Passport/​Visa photo services. I unknowingly paid $ 11.99 for 2 prints — then found out later that I could have gone to Costco and gotten 4 prints for $ 4.99. I guess it was payback for the few good deals I have gotten there in the past :-(

New, Clean, and Cheery.
Think they open a little late…8am, for a general drug store. I ran into grab a ladies necessity before work and was discouraged to see they were not open at 7, 7:30am. Dang. Hell, I’d want to sleep in, too.
A little awkward parking and getting in and out of parking lot.
Beer selection-​excellent. Even better-​The prices. I wasn’t even planning on buying beer but saw Rolling Rock 6p bottle 3.99…perfect on the way to a friends. Nice pharmacy staff. I like Walgreens chain and live and will support this one.
Good job on the beer !

I’ve been waiting for this place to open for weeks. Unfortunately, by the time it finally did I had given up. It’s close by work and I thought it would be a quick stop for things I forgot, etc.
It’s nice enough, has a lot of products just like the other Walgreens and has a drive up pharmacy. The only problem is the traffic pattern is such it’s difficult to get into. You have to drive almost in a circle around it to get into it. Which is such a pain I’ve only been there once.
I’ll still stop in from time to time but not during peak driving hours.

This new Walgreens is very nice! Who doesn’t appreciate shiny new tile floors and a freshly paved parking lot? This store is different than your typical Walgreens because it has lots of natural lighting with the large windows lined around the top. It’s well organized and the store attendants are helpful for locating anything you may need.
The only downside is the parking lot is a bit tough to get in and out since its located next to a busy (and complicated) intersection.
