Walgreens

Bleh. This Walgreens like every other Walgreens is just a simple ol Walgreens (not quite sure if that makes sense, it sure sounded good in my head). I come here mostly to pick up prescription medicine other than that, I don’t come here often. They don’t have much that I need. If I needed over –the-​counter meds than I do come here but that’s about it. They do sell a lot of medicine. All the basic ones that you’ll need. Overall, this place is o-​k to generally get medicine.

Careful, the night pharmacist will refuse you your prescription if you’ve lost/​gained weight. He said I didn’t look like my legal, valid us passport. The photo was from 2010, and 60 pounds heavier and I don’t have 90 bucks kicking around to replace the photo. It has never caused me an issue until tonight.
I was picking up insulin needles for a family member, and I feel like he took one look at my bright hair, leather jacket and tattoos, filled me away as some junkie piece of shit, and «did a good deed» by denying me perfectly legal syringes.
To the woman who actually grabbed my syringes: you’re a doll, I’m sorry you’re stuck with him. Also it was not the older, tall man who wears a turban.
Young, cocky, bearded chap.
Haven’t seen him before, and hopefully for my nana he isn’t there much longer.
Sheesh.

It is open 24 hrs however they do not have the staff to run the place. Only one pharmacist working. He has to run the register and also dispense the medication. Walgreen needs to do better. I have waited over 3 hrs and still waiting to get my medication for my spouse. Not acceptable. It is unfortunate that I have to visit this location since most pharmacy is already closed. I was here at 10:30pm n it is 1 am as I write this comments. I will never come back here again. EVER…

The pharmacist Kawayan guy, is good. He’s there by himself but very alert when someone needs help. He calls someone from the front for help right away. Unlike the girls in the daytime, they take their sweet time while there’s like 8 people in line. If it was only the Kawayan tech I would give him 5 stars. But the people in the day ruined it, like especially there’s this Indian lady consultant. She would scream out embarrassing things when you have questions about your meds. I really respect this new tech Kawayan I believe that’s his name, I just saw it on the coat. He was very quiet and respectful about anything I have questions about!

Whilma is always pleasing. She’s a cashier in this store. As a customer, I knew her face and her warm smile for many many years, but never asked her name. A couples of days ago, I bought lots of things here. When I checked out, she saw me no way to carry all the stuff. She walked a long distance to get a shopping cart for me — that’s just so nice of her. I eventually remembered to ask her name. Thank you so much, Whilma!
Also I have to thank Kuuzuela. She is such a wonderful manager! She really knows how to make the customers happy and shop more and more…

I know, reviewing Walgreens, but why not, maybe it’s boring BUT, they were great today. I’m generally not a big Walgreens fan, The aisle is a bit narrow and the products are really jammed pretty tightly in the aisles.
BUT; I went in today for sugar of all things, great coupon offer :) after all Holiday baking season is upon us. You definitely need to come in early, when I arrived there was no one else in the entire store. Though two others came in soon afterwards. This store is open 24 hours a day.
The guy working there pointed me in the right direction and came to help when I discovered there were no more bags on the shelf. He looked around some then called someone from the back to check the where house. So I got 2 bags and got a raincheck. after all can’t beat the price $ 1.99 for 4 lbs.
So kudos to Walgreens for great customer service. There’s always a coupon in the add section of the paper or you can down load one to your phone. They also have a photo department and of course a pharmacy. They even sell milk and other items in their refrigeration section.

By far, I haven’t explored this store much except for their Photo section. Of all the visits till date, first time ever, I received a good service from staff DARPAN P in the photo section (couple of days back), who was very sincere & helpful. He was quick without making any unnecessary delays, otherwise customers are made to wait longer at this store, for no real reason. Also, Thanks to Him for giving a most useful & money savior tip to get passport photos printed for just $ 0.35 as opposite to what Walgreens usually charge @ $ 12.99, which is unreasonably high when there is an option to save your money, literally, more than 26 times of what you pay (Ridiculous right!!!). I sincerely advise people to be aware of this and better take photos on their own using a good Digital Camera or Iphone, edit according to passport photo instructions online (there are numerous no. of websites offering free photo editing tool) and visit Walgreens just to take print outs!!!
Otherwise, I don’t have greater impression about the store from the outlook of it and also yet to venture their other sections. Most staff are incompetent (from whatever I’ve experienced so far, except for my recent visit, which is a sure shot lottery. lol). I’ve not received consistent service from the same staff, they keep changing every time. There is a big parking lot. And so, finding a good parking spot is not cumbersome.

ZERO for the pharmacy. They are incompetent! Beware you will wait a long time because pharmacists assistant can’t do their job. Waited for 30, my prescription and found out that it was not scanned. Then was told that they are working on it now. Waited another 15 mins. Went back up to the counter and PA said there was a lot of customers in front of me. But there wasn’t, they all already received their meds and left. Not a great experience.

The staff is very kind and helpful. Only problem is that I always wait at least 20 – 25 minutes in line for prescription pick up.

This store is messy, lack of staff member, unprofessional branch manager. She seems to be always in a hurry. The staff here are unreliable, slow moving worker. I used to work in walgreens, and trust me, the job is not that hard. But to this staff member, they make it so difficult. Ugh!

This pharmacy is HORRIBLE. I never have an issue with my insurance at an other Walgreens or pharmacy and here they always say it’s inactive.

Terrible pharmacy. Dr called in prescription and Walgreen pharmacy said 30 min. Went there in 40 min and our name wasn’t even on the list! So frustrating. Had to wait and wait some more. Never going back to this incompetent place.

The pharmacy at this location is a joke. If there was a contest for slowest service at a pharmacy, I have no doubt this location would win. There is always a line and even when they tell you to come back two hours later, when you arrive it’s not yet done. Horrible.

Nice store but to cluster display. You have to walk around to find what you need.

The Indian manager is a rude dipshit. The pharmacy is understaffed. One of the techs is a platinum raver kid with colored beads. I call him Skrillex, lol. I only come because it’s close and is open 24 hrs. But believe me, I bark every time it’s due. Skrillex, dipshit indian guy or not.

This store has been here for 100
really glad there giving this location a face lift it really needed it. I must say that the prescription department is pretty helpful.

Came to the pharmacy at 11:00pm, it was dead and still had to wait over an hour for my Rx. Really?! It use to be ready in 15 minutes.

Just had to give them 5 stars for including a store coupon that applied to my purchase that I didn’t even know about. I just checked my receipt randomly and paid a lot less for a bunch of toys. That’s 5 star service!
Cashiers here are nice and patient though the lines can get pretty long when it’s busy. It’s convenient that they have a pharmacy at this location as well. It’s a plus that my double stroller can fit through their automatic doors. Parking can be tough too sometimes. Yay!

This Walgreen’s corporate store is located at the corner of Capital and McKee in San Jose. I really love the store because it’s open 24 hours a day seven days a week.
Over the years when my children were sick there was no other place to get a prescription filled. There were many times that I made late night trips to Walgreen’s at this location. I never had any problems with any homeless person or riffraff bothering me. I also like the fact that they offer over-​the-​counter items which sometimes got my kids well without a doctors visit.
The employees at this Walgreen’s are always helpful and nice. I like their card selection it’s quite large. And recently when I went there I found makeup eyeshadow for one dollar a package. What a deal.
Try this Walgreens out for yourself and when you do, tell them Karen sent you

This review is for their Pharmacy.
The wait time to fill and pick up a prescription is ridiculous. Why have one line to fill your prescription and another to pick up when there is usually only ONE pharmacy tech to help you?! By the time I dropped off my prescription, I basically had to wait in line again just to pick it up so I don’t have to wait another 30 mins.
I just switched to CVS on capitol hoping their service would be a lot better than Walgreens.
