On the day I visited cashier was a super friendly young lady. Her smile and friendly attitude is the reason for my five stars. This Walgreens location shares the same parking lot with Trader Joe's.

My medication is regularly not ready when I'm told it should be ready, and trying to get an update over the phone is almost impossible because the pharmacy frequently does not answer. When you depend on a pharmacy for medication, you should be able to rely on them to have prescriptions ready when promised or at the very least be able to reach someone by phone to find out what is going on. Having to repeatedly call, wait, and still not get an answer is incredibly frustrating. I understand pharmacies can get busy and delays sometimes happen, but when the same problems keep happening over and over, something needs to change. This location seriously needs to improve its pharmacy staffing, communication, and prescription turnaround times. I would not recommend this pharmacy if you need your medication filled reliably and on time.

Pharmacy customer service = Poor. This is not just for this store. I called 9 other Walgreens and…read morethe same things happened. So it's probably a Walgreens overall thing. I am Very sick for the first time in years. Called to see if the prescription was ready that was sent here (Glenoaks location). Turns out they did not have the medication. First, no one called me to let me know. I found out by calling them before driving there. The person in the pharmacy told me other Walgreens may have it but he could not call them and be sure. So I spent 3.5 hours calling every Walgreens within a practical distance - average wait / hold time 30 minutes each. All told me they could tell me who MAY have the drug I was prescribed but would not call to make certain. I think this is pretty crappy customer service. Not sure if this is a policy but just sucky if you ask me.

Wow! This was my first time visiting this Walgreens location during the evening, and unfortunately,…read moremy experience with the manager was very disappointing. I felt that he made assumptions about my right to have my own professional photos printed, even though I fully own the rights to my personal photos. He refused to release my photos to me, which made me feel very unwelcome and uncomfortable as a customer. Thankfully, Damian, one of the employees, handled the situation with kindness and professionalism. He remained calm, de-escalated the situation, and made customer satisfaction his priority. He was able to release my photos and made sure I felt comfortable and respected throughout the process. I truly appreciate Damian for the way he handled the situation. Employees like him make a meaningful difference in the customer experience. I sincerely hope Walgreens recognizes his excellent customer service and considers him for a raise or promotion. Damian demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and a genuine commitment to making sure customers feel welcomed and valued.

Was checking out the other day and enduring the long line (they somehow never have enough cashiers) and spotted a small roach nonchalantly climb aboard the credit card machine. There was a bowl of candy directly next to it no doubt infested. Who knows maybe they're in the CC machine as well? Sure - there is a sad, and complex issue with unhoused individuals in the parking lot. But Walgreens corporate needs to get involved with the city and clean this place up. I come to a drug store to improve my health, not be susceptible to infestation. This is disgustingly sad and needs attention immediately. Please.

Especially because I usually come here to just quickly pick up over the counter medicine. I always know that I am not going to have to spend a long time waiting in checkout. Or roaming the aisles for that matter as things are laid out in a very well thought out and labeled way. My main issue with this location is the parking lot. While it seems like it has a huge lot outside, it's in desperate need of upkeep. Mainling the spot markings. Things are so faded that there's basically no markings at all. I often get out of my car to realize I've parked in 2 spots unknowingly.

Unfortunately, a DIFFERENT nail place in Pasadena ruined my nails and caused an infection. I was in severe pain and came here to Cool Nails hoping they'd be able to help. Alex, the kind nail technician, spent A LOT of time on my nail and was very, very patient and gentle. I am amazed that he was able to completely stop the pain and the infection!!! This is the best nail place i have ever been to! read more

After my appointment, I noticed that the acrylic was uneven on almost all of my nails, so I went back and politely asked if they could be fixed. When I sat down, she immediately said she couldn't see anything wrong. I kept showing her the uneven areas because it wasn't just one nail--it was almost all of them. Instead of trying to help, she told me, "I'm not a machine." I then asked if she was saying she couldn't fix them, and she replied, "No, I'll just give you your money back." What I don't understand is how someone who specializes in doing acrylic nails could think this was acceptable work. I wasn't expecting perfection, but I did expect my acrylic nails to be applied evenly and with care. It wasn't just the quality of the nails that disappointed me--it was the way I was treated. I simply wanted my nails corrected, and instead I was met with rudeness and an unwillingness to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this salon based on my experience.
