There was a bit of a line, but only 1 cashier at the time tending to the customers. When I informed the cashier that I was picking up an online order, I was directed to a white bin located on the outside of the counter to grab my own order. A bit odd, but I guess this store runs their online pickup on an honor system? They have their own decently sized parking lot so parking shouldn't be an issue.

They tried to charge co-pays because of mistakes in their billing insurance. Transferred all of my medications to get out of this cess pool. A couple good pharmacists like Jia are outweighed by the terrible service, lack of care, and incompetence of the rest of the team. I would give negative stars if I could because this CVS pharmacy is messing up royally in such an important avenue as healthcare and medication dispensing. UNACCEPTABLE.

Always being located on a corner spot, they are an easy in and out off the main road. The handicap parking is also very centrally located close to the doors which is not always the case. I am always pleased when I am properly greeted when I walk through the door. I am especially happy when a clerk or cashier look up from what they are doing to acknowledge a customer walking through the door. This store, like other Walgreens is big and bright with clean isles to navigate through. I needed a few items ranging from pharmaceutical to paper goods. They had plenty of items to choose from and I pleased that their house brand is a substantially reduced price and the same item. I had to make an 8 X10 enlargement and it was an incredibky easy task from transmitting the photo from my phone to submitting the photo to the printer. $4.95 is a price to pay to a print and they had a great frame at 60% off for 4.99. Overall a really easy and simple task from beginning to end. Check out went very quickly and I received the same cordial greeting as I left as when I came in. Kudos to a nice team here at Walgreens.

Long waits and chronic understaffing…read more.. Plan on a very long wait at this pharmacy- it's always understaffed, with usually just one person at the window (sometimes two), leading to snaking queues with chairs down the aisle. I've waited 30+ minutes multiple times, even with vaccine appointments. Calling is no better; you're on hold forever due to the backlog. They're slow and overwhelmed. Switched to insurance-covered delivery--tipping the courier is cheaper and faster than dealing with this hassle.

I go there often with a disabled client that has a hard time standing in line. He has never ever acknowledged that. It happens every time. Today was alone and no one in line. 3 people working at the pharmacy. They all saw me. I waited 5 minutes and finally asked if someone could help me. Save yourself the headache and stress and find a better pharmacy that cares for the customers. It's appalling that the pharmacist and manager always apologize but never changes his attitude, sadly.

The process to refill medications is easy and the mail order I receive is always shipped promptly by Fed Ex. I can track the package in transit. They have good customer service and their response time is FAST. I have KAISER but they don't cover the medication I need. So Kaiser partners with Valor and I can obtain the medication at a very reasonable price. If you're a Kaiser patient ask your Dr. to use Valor if you need a compounded medication not covered by Kaiser's formulary. They can mail the medication to you.

I asked my question, "Do you have a blood pressure monitor I could use?" The robot asked me for my date of birth. It said it couldn't verify my identity and would transfer me to a person. I heaved a sigh of relief...until a minute later I heard a recording, "If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again." CVS can go cheap, I guess, but after they treated me like this, I'm going to look for a more customer friendly drug store.

As my handful of Yelp fans know, I reserve one star reviews for scams where I have given the…read morebusiness three tries to make things right and they failed - and where it is simply not feasible for me to sue them. In this case, I placed an order on Walgreens.com for 12 items and was willing to pay a shipping charge since there were 12 items and I could spread out the relatively high shipping charge across those items. When the items arrived, guess what? there were only five items - but they still charged me the full shipping charge and cancelled the rest of the order. Had I known that they would do this, I never would have placed the order. I would've placed it from a competing company. When I called Customer Service and asked for a proportional refund of the shipping charge, I was told that there was no way to refund it because I had not ordered enough items to trigger free shipping. They also told me that I had ordered an out of stock item - but there was no way for me to know that I had ordered an out of stock item because the website didn't tell me that the item was out of stock. This seems like a relatively straightforward scam: allow the customer to place an order that cannot possibly be fulfilled, then charge the customer a surcharge which cannot be refunded, then deliver the customer less than what they had ordered and give only a partial refund. When I asked who was responsible on the customer service call, they told me that the items did come from the store so that is why this is the place that is receiving the one star review. But I suspect that the Walgreens e-commerce team is the guilty party here. In any case it looks like my one star review won't do much additional damage to this location since it is already in the dumps on Yelp.

Especially if there is someone behind you that parked with their rear sticking too far out. We also noticed that despite the large lot size, the parking lot was nearly at capacity even though there did not appear to be very many customers inside the store. This leads us to believe that some people are using their lot while shopping/running errands nearby. We didn't check out much of the store since we were only here for some photo orders.
