I am so switching to shop rite the pharmacy department in Wallington. The pharmacist(at Walgreens in Carlstadt) thinks she’s a doctor! If a doctor gives you a script, you should be able to fill it and be on your way. But not Christine, she had to call all over the world to make sure my «diagnosis«is correct. It’s like Really?. …it’s none of your business about medication that I take. you would think I was a Meth head looking for benadryl. She was so frustrated and nasty that she called over two other managers Brittany and Angie… both managers were staring at me with these grins on not saying a word when I’m trying to explain to them what’s going on. To say the least the managers said nothing and did nothing to help the problem which was Christine with her nasty and frustrated way in with dealing with customers. That’s just the first scenario. Second scenario my husband had surgery that day. We drop off a prescription, go to pick it up a couple hours later and they only give us one prescription. My husband was at home recovering at the time so I had went pick up the prescription thinking this is all he needed. I come home and he tells me there are two prescriptions on that paper. I call Walgreens and I don’t know the gentleman’s name(very rude) and told me «oh they didn’t read it right.». Not even a sorry, and NO come right over and we’ll fill it for you immediately.. Instead of being sympathetic towards my situation he says to me all«I’ll see what I can do in 45 minutes.». I said to him oh yeah«you better have it done in 10 minutes«then he proceeded to say to me «I’ll see what I can do it 45 minutes» again, and hung up on me.. But wait there’s a third scenario and mind you this happened all in one and a half days. It was July 6th and 7th2015. 3rd scenario. I go in there to buy a quart of milk, I come home it’s sour. I don’t think I’ve ever bought sour milk in the years. Its up to the store to check their expiration dates. Granted I do check my expiration date when I shop, but I was in a hurry that still is not an excuse for me to have sour milk. So with this all being said I went in and talked to an extremely nice store manager named Matt. He was so apologetic and professional, I almost felt bad for him telling him that I’m taking my business elsewhere. But there are too many choices around here to be abused by pharmacy department and get spolied food. Goodbye Walgreens in Carlstadt I hope you really really improve your management team. And your pharmacy department is a hot mess.

Don’t get me wrong, there are perks to this Walgreens. Open 24 hours, staff is VERY friendly and helpful. But today, for the FOURTH time in a row, they have messed up my prescriptions, claiming they gave me all of my refills at once which is not the case. I have severe heartburn and stomach ulcers, and without my medication I’m miserable. So I guess here goes another day off work in pain… I never had a problem at Rite Aid in Rutherford, not sure why I left. Needless to say, I’ll be returning there.

This is our local pharmacy and is super convenient. Love the drive thru and we are always running into the store for something. My favorite sales person mans the beauty counter. She always is friendly and helpful. She finds me super deals on the items I need and makes great recommendations. This store sells a little of everything and is always busy. A 24 hour store that is busy around the clock speaks volumes for their service and their value.

I have always loved Walgreens, but Christine has helped me with an issue that I had between my insurance and doctors office. It was a mess and I was so frustrated when Christine took over the problem and talked to both my doctors office and my insurance company. Seriously, I could have kissed her thru the phone. I have always loved Walgreen’s as a general store/pharmacy but this one takes the cake. Every time I have visited the pharmacy the staff has been exceptionally nice and helpful. Although I have no idea which lovely staff member that Christine is(by face) you can rest assured that next time I am in there I will try and find her to thank her in person. :)

I am not usually a fan of drugstores — but this Walgreens is different. The staff at the beauty counter keeps a current book of coupons and likes to help its clients find great deals. The location is new and very clean with great parking. The store and pharmacy are open 24 hours a day with a drive through. They sell general drug store stuff(groceries, toys, cosmetics, pharmacy, etc…). This review is really all about the coupons they keep at the beauty counter — make sure to checkout all cosmetics at the beauty counter!

The two best things about this location are the excellent pharmacy service and the drive-thru. Be careful in the parking lot, many drivers neglect common sense and rush through like it’s the apocalypse. Good selection in cosmetics, better prices at nearby Harmon however. They are oPen 24 hours, and I’ve used them when my kid was sick late at night.

Nice, newer store that is open 24 hours. One of the few, if not only one, that is 24 hours in the area. I come here for general items, like greeting cards etc. For prescriptions I use my local independent pharmacy, the chain stores put many mom and pops out of business so I try and support the ones that are left.

This is my local Walgreens so I’m there a lot. Other than the items I get from our insurance company’s online pharmacy, my family uses this pharmacy for all our Rx needs. We also use it for it «general store» and«convenience store» items. They are open 24/7, including the pharmacy, which has a drive thru. What’s not to like?

The store overall is great. The clerks are extremely helpful. Had a clerk go to the back to see if any other boxes of the hair dye was in a bin somewhere for me. However, their site to store photo processing is pretty bad. Half my photos came out way darker than the file originally was. Good thing I got a special price on them. Half of them were undetectable what the photo was.
