Went in to look for candy and gum to take back home to my relatives in a foreign country and the prices were insane! $0.59 for 1 Blow Pop! Other items also priced very high but all the ones on sale were out of stock, of course. I went to Safeway and saw a bag of 20 for $3. Then, add the 15 min wait with another 5 people behind me too before they open another cashier.

It’s so ironic that people work here can be so careless about patient’s health. I need to pick up a critical prescription. I was stuck in the traffic and arrive at literally 6:01. They simply told me the pharmacy close at 6 and I cannot pick up the critical prescription today. Even though there are two pharmacists still working and another a couple of people picking up their prescription, they insist no.

Just in the middle of the day pharmacy closes for lunch almost 2hrs. We were 12 people in the line & even when they came back they opened 5min later.

Unfortunately, this location has become understaffed. Result is restricted hours, long lines, long hold times. Even though the location is convenient, I need to find a new pharmacy.

I attempted to return 4 unopened cans of baby formula today purchased at this store because my daughter was fortunate enough to outgrow sensitive formula and could use standard formula. The cans were 62 days past purchase, but with receipt and would not expire for 6-12+ months, and given the national shortage I figured any reasonable store manager would accept this return given that managers may accept returns past 30 days at their discretion. The manager brusquely told me that the store policy was on the receipt and that they weren't taking the returns. I know what the policy is, and I also know that this store is chronically out of stock of formula, so seems like a loss for them and the community to not accept this return. Luckily, the Samaritan house charity across the street was happy to take it so some infants will benefit. 3 stars actually brings up this location's avg. rating so this review is mostly to make a point.

Worst pharmacy I ever dealt with. Recently was transferred here because my pharmacy closed. This Walgreens couldn't fulfill simple prescription from my doctor for 2 weeks. They never tried to resolve it. I couldn't reach them by phone for 3 days. Then my insurance couldn't reach them for 2 days. Finally I got a call from my insurance that it's all good to go (they were able to talk to the pharmacy and apparently resolved it). However I came only to be turned away again!! I was told it's not ready, and the issue still persist. Totally unprofessional.

This pharmacy is severely understaffed and unable to fill prescriptions in a timely fashion. Prescription was called in yesterday morning and I came and waited in an almost hour long line between 5 and 6 p.m. (when they close!) and the prescription was not ready. I came back today at noon and the prescription was still not ready. The Pharmacist then asked me about the kidney function of the person the prescription was for because it made a difference in the dosing. Because I didn't know, the Pharmacist then had to confirm with the doctors. Turns out the lower dosing was needed. I am grateful that the pharmacist caught the dosing error (only reason for any stars) but should have confirmed with the doctor first instead of waiting on information from the patient about kidney function. I waited another almost hour for the call to the doctor and the prescription to then be filled. In the time I was waiting today, 20+ people came to pick up prescriptions and only ONE was ready; every other person had to wait or come back at another time.

I've been using this Walgreens for about 4 years, and it's just gone downhill so fast. I used to have little trouble getting a prescription, but now it seems like they can't figure out how to properly stock their supplies. Sometimes it takes multiple weeks to get a prescription filled, and to make matters worse, when you walk in or call them, it takes forever to talk to someone. This all started happening when the Belmont Ralston location closed down. You would think that with everything moving to this location, it would be supported by extra staff and longer hours. The OPPOSITE has happened. There is LESS staff, and now they are only open 9 to 6, which for someone with a working schedule in downtown San Francisco is unacceptable. I am moving away from the area soon, so all of this is pretty moot for me. However, be warned if considering moving your prescriptions here, they are getting worse and worse at filling them.

I’m sorry to say that most Walgreens, this one included have ZERO RESPECT for the patients time. Just moved to the area, new at dealing w this Walgreens and yesterday while checking on why my meds were rejected the following happened: First phone call; on hold for about 20 minutes, then the call got disconnected. Called back and while driving & running errands was on hold for about an hour and finally hung up. Today at 9AM, got through to a real person and while I was speaking to hear about my frustration, she never acknowledged me…just put me on hold to “check w the pharmacist” and now the waiting saga continues. Well, at least they are consistent about their COMPLACENCY & INCOMPETENCE.
