I always have a choice when shopping for certain personal care products. and usually it's either CVS or Walgreens. It's been my experience that, most often, Walgreens is a bit less expensive for the items I want, and they usually have them in stock. Such was the case at the Date Palm Drive location. The staff was courteous and helpful when I could not locate my items. The cost was 25% less than CVS had them listed for on their website. Here's a toast to wise shopping. read more

This pharmacy is NOT 24 hours! Please do not waste your time going unless it is during business hours - which are not listed on the store. Horrible to go to a pharmacy at 3am to get medicine and it's closed - nothing on their website or online. I hope this helps someone before they go for medicine at night. read more

Love this location, especially when you're in a pinch of time the staff is wonderful! I only had so much time and I needed to know if they had my grandmothers drink, kim answered was huge and fast help! Kim had great customer service and helped with everything I needed! Thank you Walgreens read more

the store is open 24/7 but that's about the only good thing about this store. the pharmacy is THE worst! they simply don't care about doing a good job. I waited on hold for service for 36 mins and was in first place for 23 mins. and then they hung up on me without ever speaking to me. Going to report them to corporate. Every time I use this pharmacy it's nothing but probs. That's why everyone else is only giving this place 2 stars! read more

Horrible don't go there I've lived out here three years and almost all the time the prescriptions are delayed or in my experience they give your prescription to someone else when you've been calling. I had a pick since the 15th and I've called they said it wasn't ready called the 22end and they told me they gave it to someone on the 19th for whatever reason but I called before I don't know but honestly do yourself a favor and get a new pharmacy . Do petty Walgreens read more

We had gone to Staples to get a photograph taken off my phone, enlarged and put on photo paper. After a very long wait she printed out a picture on copy paper on 8X11 paper. I had already paid for it since it was all computerized. She wouldn't make it right so we left and went to the Walgreens on Date Palm in Cathedral City. The manager helped us and was very nice. He gave us exactly what we wanted at half the price of Staples. He was professional and kind. We will now do our photo with there. read more

I pulled up at 12:20am to 3 employees locking the door. I asked if they were closed, the young woman said yes. I then asked if they were 24 hours, she said yes again but that they are short staffed... Update your hours. Incredibly inconvenient to drive 20min to arrive to a closed store. read more

I'm reviewing the photo dept basically although the front checkers have improved and much friendlier greeting people as they enter which is nice Sherry is a wonderful employee her customer service is great her bright smile and cheerful Sherry is quick to get the prints done so quick and the quality is nice disposition is so refreshing Thanks Sherry for your great work read more

While checking out I noticed people walking out with items they didn't pay for. I asked the nice young lady what they do about this. She said "nothing, the last person got fired for trying to stop them" hire security already WALGREENS. In the meantime everyone take what you want here read more

Clueless, Disorganized, The Absolute Worst. I've been in bed with COVID symptoms and made an appointment online for a rapid test. The test was to be done at the drive up window at this Walgreens at 3:15PM today. When I got there the window was closed. The pharmacy was closed. I called the store and a bored clerk told me they would be open tomorrow. I asked what about my appointment? Would it be rescheduled? Why wasn't I notified? The only answer was "call them tomorrow and tell them you had an appointment for today". Like hell I will. read more

Okay so, I WAS gonna give a bad review (the phone customer service for the pharmacy can get REALLY annoying - they have like an outsourcing center and it's just an annoying hassle).. BUT today, I went through the drive-thru to pick up a prescription (they closed early yesterday due to the protests going on as a safety and county curfew). There were two cars in front of me but it didn't take too long. The pharmacy lady was super nice and did the usual questions and was able to get my prescription for me.. BUT today was different. With alllll the craziness of 2020, they did something different which was SO cute and just such a nice gesture. I get my prescription in the little drop down box thingy and attached is this orange envelope which was weird to me because usually I just have my receipt attached. I pull forward so the car behind can get to the window and inside the envelope was a card, "happy thoughts & good vibes". We need more energy like that! read more

Walgreens - 2:20 in the afternoon - Drugstores Near Me - Cathedral City, California

The cashier and pharmacist at this Walgreens location both denied my son a Covid vaccine because my they stated my insurance was not accepted for a shot that's supposed to be free. He had an appointment, was eligible, and they had the pediatric shots available for his age, but since they do not accept my insurance, they refused to vaccinate him, going against both Walgreens and County/State Health policies. If I would have lied and said we didn't have insurance he would have been given a vaccine without a problem, but they were unwilling to help us. After all the wait and worry, my son has to remain at risk and wait an additional week to get vaccinated and I have to go through the work to get him over his shot fears and anxieties all over again. So disappointing that in the midst of a pandemic, they turned us away and put my son's health at risk because of their incompetence. I've filed complaints with both Walgreens corporate and County Health so this won't happen to anyone else, but recommend finding another provider for your vaccines. read more

My Dr called in 2 RX, I don't have Covid as I had a negative test result but I'm very very sick. I went through the drive through and he said to come back in 90 minutes. I've never in my life heard of such a thing. BTW, the RX is for a Z pack-nothing trickery!!! read more

My wife went in specifically to buy some Maxwell House instant coffee on sale @ $3.99. Nothing else. There were only two left, which she purchased , and asked the girl at checkout for a rain check to pickup some more at a later time. Checker refused. My wife is not confrontational, didn't question it and left. This store does not know the meaning of customer service. read more

Went through the pharmacy drive thru expecting it to be quicker than getting down and waiting a whole hour. Staff would help other people that had just gotten there inside rather than the people who had been waiting in the drive thru for longer. Would not recommend going through the drive thru. You'd be better off getting down or even going to another pharmacy. read more

Awful, I just had major surgery, they hung up on me and no explanation in my pain medicine don't go there. You need to have better customer service skills!!!!!!! read more

The absolute worst pharmacy they never answer despite being on hold for over an hour always lie and say prescription is ready when it's not they have really gone down the drain read more

I spent almost an hour each day for 5 days waiting for my prescription to be ready only to be told daily that it should be ready the next day. Then to find out, they never even started the process! I feel HORRIBLE for the staff even though they were not organized whatsoever. They were very short staffed and overworked!!!!! All the customers were complaining and the staff had to endure painful comments. Staff tried but there is something very wrong going on at Walgreens........Finally sent my prescription to CVS (should have done it much sooner) and it was filled within the hour. read more

You have to wait forever to get your medication stand in line for 30 minutes it's the pharmacist he goes by the book.

Went in at 8:30 to return something Was told customer service closes early and they can't do returns. So crazy!

Staff tries but this place is horrible They always have an excuse. Can't seem to get orders correct and automatically fill Rx that was not requested and supposedly not I their system . Your better served at any other pharmacy stay clear of this one the pharmacist / managers are not good read more

I scheduled Covid 19 appointment online ,at my local Walgreens Pharmacy in Desert Hot Springs. I show up for my appointment ,and the guy behind the window Could Not find my Reservation, even I show him my print out of my appointment, and Text message from Walgreens confirming my reservation. Horrible Costumer Service at this Pharmacy! Don't do Business at this Location.! Does anyone read these horrific reviews in the corporate offices? read more

This pharmacy has ceased to function in any normal way, I'm sure due to the pandemic. Hours are not as posted, phone calls are not answered, and most importantly, prescriptions are not filled. We went here SIX TIMES to pick up our medications and spent hours trying to figure out how to procure them, but at the end of the day we asked our doctor to switch to RiteAid, where we were able to get them within an hour. read more

Pharmacy does not check the expiration date of their medications before they dispense it to you; So, just BE CAREFUL! They gave me expired INSULIN (expires 4/2019). Current date is September 2019. Spoke to pharmacist JIM tonight and he checked and informed me that YES their whole entire batch of Humulin is expired and stated that he does not know why that is, and he will have to reorder. So, just wanted to note that you should always check the expiration dates on your medications before taking and do NOT trust the pharmacy, especially, OBVIOUSLY, this location. read more

Impossible to call prescriptions in. Puts you on hold for 45 min. giving you false hope that there are 3...2 ...1...callers in front of you and then HANGS UP! Ridiculous!!!!!! How are these places even allowed to practice ? read more

The pharmacy staff is rude. I have got a prescription refill from them for at least three years. It was only worth it when they were open 24 hrs. Now they can't refill a prescription on time. If you have a hour to stand in line while they talk to each other behind the counter, go to cvs. read more

The pharmacy is a total madhouse out of control. No matter when you show up, you're going to spend a long time in a long line. Needed some info so tried to call. 1/2 hour on hold only to have them hang up on my turn. Happened to my nurse also. Had to go there 3 times on 3 different days so far to get 4 prescriptions refilled. 2 were available on 2nd trip, one is delayed as out of stock with no known date it will be available (my chemo), and one is delayed because, but may be available on Monday, when I'll have to return again for more of this BS. I have lost all confidence in their ability. I will be changing pharmacies soonest. read more

Always a losing battle to get prescriptions filled or speak to someone on the phone in the pharmacy. They will just keep clicking you back on hold until they eventually hang up on you, or you give up. read more

Walgreens - a red car parked in a parking garage - Drugstores Near Me - Cathedral City, California

Winner of Worst Customer Service Award. Today, May 20, 2021, about 9:45am, I shopped here. Last time. Several times I passed two employees who were on the floor chatting to each other about personal matters. One even appeared to be a manager. Neither stopped chatting to see if I needed help finding items. Then the cashier who not only has no customer service persona but has no persona period. She just stood there waiting for me to bag my items. She never offered help or explained that I needed to bag them myself. Walgreens management has no concept of customer service or business acumen. CVS...here I come. read more

I don't like leaving negative reviews, I've worked in service - it's hard. And I've never been to a place with worse service. I like Walgreen's - they've been my drugstore of choice. This location has told me prescriptions are ready when they're not 4 times. They've told me they'd call me when prescriptions are ready with no contact. Given me long lead times for refills, and I double the length of time to return 'just in case', only to have them not even started on the order. Get your act together. read more

Rude, demeaning, arrogant pharmacy. I didn't even get a chance to explain why I was calling. No one cares enough to do anything about this situation , time to switch to another pharmacy read more

Possibly the slowest least competent photo department I have ever run across. After 20 minutes in line behind one woman, wouldn't you think that they might give me my Xmas cards? Nope, the incompetent was overwhelmed. As the senior person there, that is a bad sign. If I exclude this transaction, I try and avoid this shop as the parking lot is dirty with some scary transient types. read more

Nicki, the pharmacist, helped me get a vital medication when no other location would. First, she answered the phone, when other places don't even do that. Then she thought creatively and helped me so much. She made all the difference to me when I was from out of town and sick. Amazing provider! read more

Can it receive negative stars? They are NOT a 24 hour pharmacy- they falsely advertise that they are. The pharmacy staff is not friendly not understanding. Apparently they are short staffed sooo customers just need to put up with their attitudes or take their business elsewhere. read more

Most expensive prescription I have ever filled. I got half the usual tablets and paid over double the price. Unfortunately I can't return them but I'll NEVER go back here. I now wish I'd read the other reviews below!! read more

Drive through for the pharmacy is so incredibly slow. Even with only one or two cars in front of you, you can expect to wait about 45min. If you go inside it's not that much faster either. The staff is nice enough but seems like they need more people. read more

Had a vaccine appointment at 9:30 am. It is now 10:15 am. No shot and I've watched numerous people be served at the pharmacy who did not have an appointment. I will never return. read more

Wow!!!!! Every single time I've been in their store! Stay away. It's dirty and, Pharmacy is awful. They don't care about customers much less the service. All the 1 star reviews are true. I'll never go back, convenience isn't worth dealing with their disorganization! Nobody is in charge! It's excuse after excuse. Corporate needs to clean up and get some real management going and possibly new employees! read more
