I've been influenced by the Drug Store's inspiration. All of my orders were delivered on time and on budget. The accuracy of the tap, the materials used, and the execution are all superb. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to read this.

If you are older and need flu vaccine this is not an option. We made appointments online, printed up and filled out their questionnaire and went in. No, they didn't have that, no they didn't know when they would get it, and no they couldn't order it. And frankly, not their problem. The pharmacy guy gave me a possible location that we could try. I am really not going to bounce around, because COVID-19.

The pharmacy staff are rude and incompetent. They tell you to come back in an hour and then still don't have your prescription ready. You ask 3 times how much is this going to cost and they won't take the time to answer.this is a terrible pharmacy

Skip this and all Walgreens stores. Target has better stock and is significantly cheaper. Only a complete moron would continue to shop here.

This particular location seems to always have broken glass from car windows everyday. The store is smaller and cramp. I just go and handle my business then leave asap. Lines are long and people are grumpy. Be careful as panhandling is rampant around here. Parking lot now have a security in front posted on site.

I wouldn't bother commenting because, hey, it's just a Walgreen's. But PAM is so great. I like having someone like PAM at my local drugstore. She is quite friendly and immensely helpful.

Dear Walgreen's, give PAM a raise.

I went into the 5505 Telegraph Ave Walgreens today looking for an eye glass repair kit. Before I could pass the register, I hear a person (the acting store manager) tell security that I wasn't allowed in the store. I was confused, security was too he had a puzzled look on his face and went to confirm what the manager told him. I told security that I've come in to the store maybe once or twice and that I've never caused a problem. I asked the manager for an explanation but was ignored and never got a response to my inquiry. Not wanting to cause a scene I left the store and came home to write this review. Store security was very polite and respectful the store manager was however not courteous or professional. If she (the store manager - I wasn't able to get her name) is a representative for Walgreens then they are not being represented well and have a lot of work to do.

The manager at this store is terrible. The pharmacy staff are slow and rude. I drive out of my way to avoid this store.

This place brings ideas of Soviet Union queuing to mind. It's totally understaffed and what staff are working are constantly being distracted by the drive thru window. Moreover once you've waited the requisite 20 minutes in the line, there's a good chance you'll be denied service at some level.

I live right next to this Walgreens, so I go there somewhat frequently. They almost never have what I'm looking for, even if it is something that every other Walgreens in America has. Super glue? Nope. Knee brace? Nope. Extension cord? Nope. Last time they wouldn't even give me change for a ten. On top of that, a visit to the pharmacy always takes at least 20 minutes, even if there is only one other person there. This is a terrible store.

During my monthlong stay in Rockridge, this was the most convenient pharmacy and I can’t say I have any complaints. The pharmacy staff is generally pretty efficient, though not necessarily the most friendly or outgoing that I’ve encountered. That said, they got me what I needed quickly and without any issues.

Pharmacy is a joke. Waited an hour. Then they couldn't find my insurance. Then they charged me 200 dollars for something I got for 60 the previous month.

Took a passport photo there today.background is supposed to be white, but the wrinkly white backdrop catches shadows and it shows in the printed photo.

The employee cropped my photo crooked.

My local Walgreens! I've learned I can skip a trip to the grocery store by picking up milk or eggs here as well as all the other usual household items Walgreens is known for. I even started buying some of their clothes, what a time saver! I just met Adrianna at the cosmetics counter and she was so helpful and friendly, she really has a passion for helping her customers.
