Walgreens

I guess I was spoiled by all the Walgreens near Union Square and the Westfield mall near the Moscone Center. This one just didn’t cut it for me. Their selection of prepped foods were minimal and the employees were just «ok.» Another big thing that was disappointing was the fact that they were closing at 10PM on the day we stopped by and it was a weekend day. I thought Walgreens were ²⁴⁄₇ or at least stayed open until midnight? I don’t think it was a bad area of town either so I’m just not quite sure why they close so early but at least you know now! I can’t really think of anything else that would be good or bad since Walgreens are pretty much all compared with one another. Well. it was close to Japantown! (I guess that is a pro?)

We went this store for our baby’s passport photo yesterday. Jessica was so patient to help us calm our baby, since he was so upset and refused to sit on stroller. Finally we made it with wonderful Jessica. She really saved our day. Take out one star due to expensive
photo itself, I didn’t expect that 8 passport photos will cost $ 56+ :(

Nice updated location, but the short Filipino lady, (her ID said head of the beauty section since ²⁰⁰⁶⁄₂₀₀₇) was extremely rude and went out of her way to give me a hard time purchasing a reload for my green dot rush card. She purposely called the manager over twice. Questioned me about my address on my card and looked at me up and down because I’m a trans woman .
She proceeded to look me up and down and called me a HE in front of at least 10 customers. So I stopped her mid sentence and corrected her .
My ID has all female markings and I have been transitioning for YEARS .
After calling me a he and giggling over the microphone to her co worker as to if she can accept my ID, I made sure she knew I was not to be disrespected and talked down to, she proceeded with the transaction calling me a SHE, but took extra long and put my brand new 2016 100 dollar bills up to the fluorescent lighting and ran a pen through them .
I thought I was being overly sensitive, however my transgender friend returned the next day and was treated with the same degrading service by this woman and was given hard time as well, the tall, sweet, Japanese man came and helped. His ID said (employee since 2000) I didn’t catch his name. And did not hassle or give my friend a hard time at all whatsoever .
Might I add. I reloaded my card at another location, showed my ID and had no issues whatsoever. The maximum you can reload a green dot card is twice at any valid location with a maximum of 1,000 per day. Due to regulations (depending on the state you’re in)
That woman was clearly being rude and giving us a hard time.

I like this store, but you can not leave anything behind on the counter by mistake even if you come back 5 minutes later the cashier does not recall you leaving the product or what it was or where it was. its in her pocket book now and its hers. I know this to be true because it happened to my bro inlaw, I’ve seen people ask, where’s the rest of my change. Oh here under the counter I must have fallen sorry. This Walgreens they will steal from you so don’t blink this happening to me. I watched and seen them steal from others has anybody experienced this

This review is for the pharmacy.
Couldn’t agree more with Ryan F. There is one guy who works here who’s courteous and tries to make things better, but he is definitely the only exception. I finally realized their horrendous customer «service» was never going to improve, came to my senses, and transferred my prescriptions to the Walgreens on Polk & California. Even though that location is a few blocks farther from my house and there’s no parking lot.
Filling prescriptions here was consistently, nothing short of a horrible experience. My doctor would call/​fax in a prescription, I’d walk over to the pharmacy and nearly every time, they’d claim they hadn’t received it. Ask for a time when it WOULD be available, it never was ready and I’d have to wait (and could SEE them scrambling to fill it as I waited). It’s annoying that they don’t staff the pharmacy with a pharmacist all day on weekends, rendering the rest of the pharmacy staff unable to do basically ANYTHING for 30 – 40 minutes, but supposedly it’s state law. Whatever. Even if I was just picking up a refill of a medication I’d already been prescribed in the past, I HAD to wait for the pharmacist to return, (btw, I’ve NEVER encountered this at any other pharmacy). I noted the times they stated the pharmacist would be on lunch and would plan my arrival before/​after. However, on several occasions I’d show up and the pharmacist would be «on a break», so I’d have to take a seat and wait some more.
One of the pharmacy staff in particular, I think her name is Theresa, is unbelievably rude, and condescending. I cannot even find the words to describe how awfully she treats customers. I honestly don’t understand how she is employed.
While this location has recently been remodeled, has a generous parking lot and rarely any people waiting outside begging for money or loitering looking suspicious, it truly is not worth dealing with the incompetence behind the pharmacy counter here.

I’m pleased to report that my toothpaste of choice is no longer on lock down. And my kale salad is on markdown. Oh, kale yeah!

This review is for they pharmacy.
Are you F**King kidding me. Some of the worst, lazy, and inconsiderate employees. If you’re close to closing (within 90 minutes) they say it’s over an hr wait just to get you to leave. When you come back in an hr, they still haven’t prepared your prescription, so they were obviously just lying. It’s constantly a struggle. You call in, it’s still never ready. You show up, it’s guaranteed that the pharmacist is «on lunch». You do everything possible to give them the benefit of the doubt and make it easy for them to succeed… And it’s just complete failure.
That’s for 90% of the staff. There is one gentleman behind the counter who is always fast, friendly, considerate, and will go out of his way to make your experience pleasant. Haven’t seen him around much recently… Wish we had his schedule as he’s the only worthwhile person in this whole place.

Friendly staff.
Always have what I need in stock.
Managers (Marc, the red bearded guy) have been really helpful, when i’ve asked for their help.
Clean store.
It has parking!

I went to San Francisco to pick up a lamp and had some time to kill i went to Walgreens and thought It would be small, this is actually a big Walgreens for the San Francisco area. the people inside there were very helpful I found everything I needed although I have to admit the prices seems higher than the Walgreens in the East Bay

Good Walgreens — well-​stocked, friendly service, and never a long wait. I come here for the usual snacks and beverages — some pop chips, red bull, partyAID, and chocolates. I also discovered they have some decent red velvet cupcakes, but they go pretty quickly — so if their in stock, try them out!
Some random, but useful items they have — 10 pairs of socks for $ 5, cough medicine — always a plus, and tea.
I think it was the manager, or some supervisor, but he really made my morning one time — extremely friendly. Loved it!

This Walgreens is less than a block from my place… I refill my clipper card here really easy and convenient to stop in after work and only a few steps out of my way. They also have dog treats for Bailey and even eggs and milk in a pinch.
When I really need a bag of chips and a sprite I know Walgreens is just and elevator ride and street crossing away!

This is a nice Walgreens located on the corner of Post and Franklin streets. The store has two convenient drive-​ways to enter and leave. There is this strange trellis-​like adornment on the Franklin Street drive-​way btw.
Inside, I find the store to be clean, non-​ghetto, non-​druggies, non-​urinesmelling, staffed with friendly peeps, and wide aisles for you to roam.
On my last visit, I bought some lubricant eye drops, and some Reisen’s Chocolate Chews.
3-​Stars!

This Walgreens doesn’t get a lot of love. It doesn’t have many reviews. It’s hidden under the shadows of tall condos. It doesn’t even have any windows.
But somehow I’ve found myself wandering in while waiting for the 38 off Van Ness. It’s where I picked up my first Clipper Card. It’s also where the clerks live on the edge.
«Do you have change for a hundred?»
«No,» He’s a little flustered. «I’ll have to contact my manager, we’re not allowed to.»
He looks around nervously. And decides otherwise.
With my ninety-​eight bucks in change, I say thanks.

Quiet and clean Walgreens. I noticed they have a pharmacy parking area outside, nice gesture in this area! I was actually looking to get some heavy cream for some baking. They didn’t have it but instead I picked up some good locally made Columbus Salume.

Convenient. Anything within walking distance to work is a godsend.
I tried coming in early and was surpised that it wasn’t open at 8am. I guess I was used to drug stores being open at that time in the Financial District.
I came in during lunch, got what I needed, and was out of there in 5 minutes.
I was hoping the sandwich selection would be better, though, since I was planning on combining all of my errands in one place.

I needed some wrapping paper, and I picked this Walgreens because it’s on the way to where I was going. Also it’s convenient because it’s one of maybe it’s one of half dozen or so WG’s in SF with it’s own parking lot for better convenience.

Bright, wide aisles.
Not all the merch is locked up or behind the counter.
Fresh sandwiches and fruit available.
Definitely the fanciest Walgreens compared to the other Walgreens within walking distance of my office.

No kitty ears left for Halloween? How dumb do you have to be to not order enough of the MOST POPULAR costume accoutrement for Halloween??? AND they didn’t have Starbucks Double Shots in the Light version… the people running the place are nice, though…2 stars.

Aren’t they all the same,
Stock everything but beer,
No I.D. no script.

Nice, decent store. The Managers are good, they know their stuff.
Staff are professional and friendly.
Isles are easy to see and not cluttered up like most stores.
They mainly carry things on hand.
Free parking and good location.
