Walgreens

Convenient and friendly service.
Got my passport photos done here. Was in and out in under 15 minutes. Not bad.

I just moved into this area. I saw that this pharmacy’s hours are until midnight. However, when I called to see if I could have my 6 year old son’s antibiotic prescription sent here from urgent care (it’s 7:21pm– Sun). The voicemail message states they were closed! How deceptive to see in their advertisement that they are open «now» and close at midnight. I definitely will not consider them as an option for my preferred pharmacy!

This used to be my favorite neighborhood pharmacy until I met this new pharmacist today. Cold, condescending, rude! She has chinky eyes and straight hair. Very annoying! Did not even apologize for making a customer wait while she talks to another employee in her face. Then blabbers about regulations & rules. I had to tell her I’m in the medical field to shut her mouth. She will be definitely be annoying more sick customers! I wonder which planet she came from?!

I have mixed feeling about this store. My first experience was not that great. I bought some over the counter meds. I usually check expiration dates before I purchase anything, but go figure, the one time that I didn’t check, and the expiration date said it was going to expire on the same month and year of my purchase! Needless to say, I had to make another trip to return the item. When I told the lady at the checkout counter what happened, she didn’t hassle me about it, and in fact did apologize for the inconvenience. When I went to look for a replacement, all they had on the shelves were two bottles. One was also had the same expiration date, and the other was fine. The second one was good for a year. So I grabbed both bottles and took them to the counter to show the cashier that I had found another expired bottle. Geez! Any store that has «pharmacy «in the title, shouldn’t be selling expired drugs, whether they’re over the counter or not! Customers shouldn’t have to be doing their inventory for them. Know what’s in your own store!
On the flip side, I like that most of the cashiers greet customers as they walk into the store. Plus, sometimes you can get pretty good deals on sale items with their in-​store coupons.
For this reason, I rate this pharmacy a 3 out of 5 stars.

Great service and very organized. Easy place to find and they have a great selection of items. The prices are a little higher than Walmart, but they are a lot faster and easier to get in and out!

I came to purchase one item. When I walked up to the counter, the cashier said nothing to me. She scanned my item. Asked if I needed a bag, I told her I did not need one. When my transaction was completed, she started to talk to another clerk. Not a thank you for coming in or anything. I dropped I’m at this Walgreens because I was on my way home. If customer service is this bad, I win’t be coming here again!!!

**My rating reflects the experience ive had here and the advice i would give friends or family **
Dont order photos for pick up here they will send a confirmation out when your order isnt even ready so when u go to pick up your order it isnt even ready not to mention didn’t even apologize for the mistake just saying defensively «do u wanna wait «the point of ordering for pick up is so you dont have to wait and when you end up having to longer then 10mins that pretty much defeated the whole purpose for the pick up option any busy professional will understand what i mean ! Thanks for nothing walgreens @ eastlake parkway

It is funny how one little detail brings the whole show down.
I have been in and out of this one store in Eastlake as it is a few blocks from me, love the store location and all… but there is always a but…
Last night I had a very bad experience as I attempted to purchase a Money Pack, first of all I did not know where it was located after searching around I came a cross the store manager as I later found out, and she pointed to a general are not one in particular, so I did some more searching and I was unable to find my item, I asked her again and she appeared bother some, but I did find it at the end.
NOW… as I approached the counter the cashier requested the managers assistance, (person who I have been dealing with).
first thing she said, …you need to pay cash for this, holding back the Money Pack Card, I replied… Do I have to pay for that separately? and she said no… I need the money, so I gave her 20.00 dollars and she brought out her counterfeit pen and tested it and she put that money away along with the card and placed it them under the counter (gave me the impression she tough I was going to steal it) then she proceeded to ring up items up. and never smiled and again she acted bother some.
All I have to say if that is procedure at least be nice… and don assume people are there to steal from the store which give patron a bad costumer service impression. specially coming from the store manager, who is an African America, with black dread locks bleached out at the tips, messed up teeth and creepy looking…
If I was to profile her as creepy as she looks I still would not treated the way she treated me.
Than k you for reading and good lock and keep an eye on this woman, and for sure I am not racist but fair…

They never know their sales and I have notice that they take down tags when they don’t want to deal with a sale. If it’s not on sale, it’s too expensive to shop there especially when Walmart is next to it. Even the manager doesn’t know his store’s sales!

One of the least packed walgreens there is. The one on Euclid ave in national city is always packed! Sadly they aren’t open 24 hrs but at least the walmart in the same shopping center is open 24 hrs to satisfy your late at night needs (sometimes!)

When i stepped in to this Walgreens i was surprised to see how neat this store is compared to the Broadway location. Service was great. and the store looked very well composed.

Always clean, organized, and the staff is incredibly nice!
I mostly come here to shop for makeup as I do at any drugstore. I just find that drugstores have good deals at times and get newer products way before Walmart or Target. The makeup section here is average but it’s organized pretty well. You can find your standard brands such as Maybelline and Covergirl but you can also find some lesser known ones such as Jordana. Walgreens also carries the hyped about Rimmel Show Off lacquers which you can’t find at other drugstores or stores like Walmart or Target.
Apart from the makeup, the rest of the store is well organized and clean. I’ve come here a couple of times to get a birthday card or pick up some medicine. I also find that checkout is a breeze! So if you don’t want to deal with all the fuss at Walmart just come here.

This is based on one particular experience I’ve had here.
Being in the health-​care field and constantly being in contact with patients, I try to make it a point to update my flu shots every year, and have been going to this Walgreens for that purpose (if it is not offered by my employer). So 5* stars for their pharmacy department.
So it is rare that I come here unless it’s to get a flu shot or to pick up some occasional meds.
I came here to pick up some batteries (specifically to support their business and I didn’t want to give my money to Walmart for every little thing), so upon entering, my girlfriend went straight to the makeup section while I headed towards the battery/​specialty electronics section. When I saw that a pack of 4 generic batteries were more expensive than I had expected, I went back to my girlfriend to see what she thought… so as I was doing this, these 2 women that happen to be working there abruptly stopped their conversation, stared at me the whole time, and one of them even followed me walking literally one foot away from me as I walked back to my girlfriend. It was pretty obvious that they THOUGHT I stole something and they were not at all discreet even in the slightest. It was very uncomfortable.
Ok, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, this Walgreens is close to Eastlake high, and maybe they get a lot of dumb kids that try to steal stuff, but after that experience I try to avoid this place unless absolutely necessary. It’s just so unfortunate that one bad experience can ruin it for someone.

The line for pharmacy can sometimes take a while but they’re super nice over there. Place is clean. It doesn’t take long when you’re waiting to have your pictures printed out for your passport (it’s cheaper at Walmart.)

Best pharmacy in Chula Vista!

Every time I have called the pharmacy to ask a question about my prescription I have to go through «0» to get someone on the phone. Once I get a live person they have poor customer service and give me wrong information! Very frustrating so I switched to CVS. Night and Day!

The only complaint I have is they run out of Walgreens brand cold medicines pretty quick! Several times I have had to stand in the aisle all woozy whimpering under my breath trying to figure out the name brand to buy instead…
Positives
Close enough to my house I could walk if I really needed to.
Good selection even if the store is a bit on the small side.
None of the Wallmart nonsense :)
Nice pharmacist who helped me out in mid allergic reaction what meds I could take and not worry about driving to a family dinner in North County.
Negatives
Dealing with the stupid layout of the traffic pattern but thats not Walgreens fault!
Good little place and I happily shop here…

Ok, I guess I should finally write a review considering I’m practically here almost every week. The staff is truly amazing. They’re all so extremely helpful and truly the most friendliest bunch.
The pharmacy is by far the best one so far. The staff is extremely professional and quite competent. I’ve never had any issues whatsoever.
This is a great place to pick up all of my sweet tooth cravings or when I need to stock up for snacks for the movies.
They have a great selection on cosmetics, nail polishes and hair products.
I truly can’t get enough of this place as you can see how often I check in here.

Great store, staff always helpful, the Pharmacy is always professional. Helpful tip, join the pharmacy club and save extra on your prescriptions.

By far THE best Pharmacy I’ve been to! The staff are so extremely helpful and competent, they really take the time to talk to you and answer any questions or concerns you might have. They’re organized and efficient in getting you your prescription as fast as possible.
Walgreens even offers a savings plan where you can get 3 months of your generic prescription for only $ 12 dollars! Amazing!
