This location is a disaster and should be avoided if you value your time, health, or sanity. After over a year of frustrating experiences, I can confidently say the service here has gone from bad to worse. Every single month, there's a new issue--despite no changes to my insurance, a single straightforward prescription, and supposedly "automatic" refills, they still can't process things correctly. Whether it's billing the wrong insurance or miscalculating co-pays, the staff repeatedly drops the ball. It's clear they are either undertrained or completely overwhelmed. The system is outdated, inefficient, and clearly not up to the demands of even basic pharmacy functions. The management is nowhere to be found, and it shows--lines stretch out endlessly, with customers waiting hours just to speak to someone. There are plenty of other pharmacies--choose literally any other option. This location is mismanaged, poorly staffed, and guaranteed to waste your time. Do not go here. You've been warned. read more

I ordered delivery from here. It was my first time trying a convenience store order on Uber Eats and they had a 50% off coupon with $30 purchase. They offered a pretty good selection of products. I got a bunch of snacks and butter which I needed in a pinch for a bread recipe! Their pick and pack process seems very efficient because the delivery arrived very quickly. Everything was packaged well. read more

Walgreens - Reese's thins - Drugstores Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

This Walgreens is a prime location for me as I pass it on my way to numerous regular destinations. The drive thru also makes it extremely convenient for a drive by pick up. Their stocked items are usually up to par, beauty products, skim milk, ice cream, toys, cards, gifts, basic food items, cereal as well as health items, first aid, OTC and Rx needs. Walgreens recently renovated to accommodate a more private Health Corner for immunizations etc. Most of the employee's provide great customer service. Yudith from the beauty department is always there to help me find items, giving me info on daily specials and to answer all the questions I usually bring to her. Bishoy from pharmacy department also provides great customer service. He is always doing his best to get people in and out. He is always ready to explain any of the prescriptions for me or my dog. I appreciate this Walgreens, their employees and the numerous times they saved me time and effort with a quick stop for some tums, advil or a carton of ice cream. read more

The store itself is clean and seems to be stocked pretty well however!!! The pharmacy wait line is the worst I've experienced in my life. The average wait time for a Rx is probably about 1/2 hour if not longer. This despite the fact that there are about 10 staff workers if u count the 1 or 2 at the windows and those that r visibly moving about in the back. I wonder if this is simply the service we get because we live in the "city" or if this is Walgreens over all. I only come here to avoid moving my car to drive to CVS where I get much better service. It may be time for me to reconsider. read more

Was there Friday evening around 5:30 pm. They were no clerks at the register and a line wrapping around the aisle read more

Always a terrible experience here. They have you make the appointment online, enter your insurance information, give you your appointment, then when you come in for your immunization they tell you that you don't have the right insurance. Ride and unhelpful. Would really rather be going to a CVS or an independent pharmacy, but this is the pharmacy indicated in the insurance networking. Just ridiculous. read more

This is the absolute worst pharmacy on Jersey Ciry. Please go elsewhere. They do not have it together at alll. If needed go to CVS Bayonne. read more

Absolute worst Walgreens. Always Understaffed and poorly managed. Avoid at all costs.

This location is so weird. Firstly there's a man outside asking for money in a very aggressive way. I'm really sorry for him but it does make people uncomfortable when it's 12am. Secondly, I was already upset about the man pressuring me for money only for security to immediately follow me around the store when I came in. Meanwhile I don't look homeless or am giving any indication that I'm going to steal. I grab a large pack of toilet paper and toilet tissue and some dried fruit and head to the line. The security decides it's safe to sit down now. Meanwhile they should be concerned about the man harassing everyone outside. It's really insulting as my makeup is done and I may look like I'm in my 20s but I'm not ! I work seven days a week for my income and I won't be coming back !! I come to this location all of the time because it's close to my sisters but this and the long wait times some nights is just not worth it to me. read more

This must be the absolute worst Walgreens pharmacy in the country. I can't imagine any other that is poorer. it has a drive up. Convenient right? I've never been in that line of cars - whether I'm 2 down or 5 down that the wait has been less than 40 min. I've waited up to 90. So I started coming in. Currently I've been in line with 2 people ahead of me. I've been standing here for 27 minutes so far. I've stood at the register and had my last names shouted and shouted while being spelled. And then the med that they can't find shouted. Not only is this an awful invasion of privacy but she was shouting 2 feet from my face. Like on top of her lungs. And then my birthdate. It was a crazy update. I moved up to the window and the woman left without a word So now im standing here and no one is visibly back there except for the woman at the drive up. update: One of my meds wasn't filled. I have to get out of here. read more

Walk in with my wife..at checkout was questioned if I was with her..second time I went like 3 days later was followed around. Horrible place. read more

This place is horrible. I wish I could give it zero star. For whatever reason the inside of the store is closed down. I have been sitting in the drive thru for 30 minutes. And they shut the gate down at 5 pm, without saying anything to the two customers who were waiting in the line. read more

Absolutely lousy pharmacy staff procedures. Staff cannot keep up with pharmacy traffic at any and all hours of the day. The company should think about expanding the pharmacy at this location and hiring a larger staff. They are rude and overworked and absolutely don't have time to care about the aggravation their customers experience. I have been waiting at the drive through window for 15 minutes and have watched a shift change and a pharmacist count the register for the beginning of his shift and then turn his back to take care of a customer in the store. I have been here for 20 minutes with about 5 cars behind me. Fix this! read more

I was trying to get help from the Pharmacy and a lady named Marina is NOT very helpful. She sounds very sarcastic when I asked for help with my insurance issue. I have a private plan for me and my kids and I asked her if she can help me locate the ID number through my medical card and she said "I can't help you with that, there's a thousand insurances in the world. Just call me back cause I don't have time to stay on the phone" VERY VERY RUDE. Walgreens, I hope you reinforce education with your staff! read more

This Is By Far The Worst Pharmacy I Been On Hold For An Hour Trying To See With Some ,It's Like Someone Is Playing With The Phones,This Can Be A Life Theating Emergency, Just Un Acceptable read more

A lot of complaints here. All valid I am sure but in defense of the staff they are overworked. It is a very busy store and they are usually short staffed. Walgreens company is to blame They are raking in the money here. The pharmacy does an incredible business. Walgreens corporate knows what's goes in here and does NOT care! Shady characters at the entrance, drugs, drinking, aggressively begging. Floors are filthy.Freezer never works correctly. Yes it is a tough neighborhood. A lot of theft and nasty customers. Police office killed here years ago because of incompetent security. They closed for half a day. $$$$$$_ That is all that matters to them. read more

Pharmacy has been closed for a couple of days and i cant get my medicine. They didn't inform me when I can get my meds or what to do. No one answers phone..... Worst location ever... Please give me my medicine read more

Three ways to get in, three ways to get out. That's very important to me when it comes to parking some place. This place is really..."hood"...some would say...and by some...I mean people who are not blind. I'm just kidding! I come in here to get granola bites. The line was long one time. The time they ran out of granola bites. So it didn't affect me because I left. I love me some granola bites. read more

This is probably the busiest Walgreens in Jersey City. There are always lines here so do not expect a quick pick up. Also if you do not know exactly what you need and where it is, do not expect to get much help from workers. I seriously only come here if I badly need something. The only benefit of this Walgreens is it's open 24 hrs a day and is located in a convenient location. read more

No one calls you if there is an issue with filling your prescription. They just leaves it unfilled even though they have all your contact information. When you call your on hold for a very long time. Than the phone rings and goes back to playing hold music. I know when that phone rings a live person can pick up at that time but they choose to put you directly back on hold. The quality of service is fallen off compared to years past. They may need new talent. read more

I swear to God Walgreens in Jersey city has the worst employees ever working in the pharmacy I put my prescription in at 8 o'clock this morning I just now picked it up they needed to make a phone call to override it because it was too early to fill but I miss placed it and instead of listening to me they literally just sat there with their thumbs up their fucking asses all day and kept telling me they can't fill it because nobody wanted to make a phone call and then when they were supposed to call me back after two hours they didn't Call me back I had to call them back after three hours for them to tell me that nothing has changed literally the most incompetent employees I have ever had to deal with what are the qualifications to work in a pharmacy these days because these people clearly do not have what it takes. I will be filing a formal complaint as this is not the first time this has happened to me. I will be filing a formal complaint. They don't even deserve one star but it won't allow me to put no stars. 45 minutes to get a prescription from the drive through what a mess. read more

This Walgreens had a false advertisement. I saw a discounted price on the shelf but when I went up to the register, it rang the original price. I even showed the cashier the sign from the shelf and she says, "Sorry ma'am but it's not taking it." She's lucky I had to go to work, I didn't have time to argue with her. But this just irks me! read more

Worst customer service from their pharmacy. Disorganized and the employees have attitude problems. Walgreens should be more selective in hiring people in that pharmacy- they dont even deserve one star due to their incompetence. read more

This walgreens looks big from the outside but is really quite tiny with little to nothing inside. I come here on a regular basis to use their red box. BTW Red Box codes means never having to pay for a Red Box DVD, google it. Walgreens is at a super busy intersection and yes it's not quite the best walgreens around. The lines are always long and the selection small. This store should install some self check out lanes. The parking lot is annoying too because the exit and entrance lanes are so darn tight. Sometimes the parking lot is full and you need to wait 5 minutes or so. read more

Have to love Jersey City and particularly this Walgreens. Used needles in the parking lot. Told the security guard and the manager and they said oh well what should we do? read more

Stay away from this P.o.s. place as it will increase your anxiety and screw with your energy. Underclass deluxe

Worst pharmacy I've ever been to. Pulled into the drive through an hour ago and there were three cars in front of me. I'm still not even up to the window. Inside is terrible too. read more

Somewhat cheap!!! You will almost everything in there . Your go to for most valuable vitamins, supplements and home goods

I had a very poor experience with the pharmacist. Karina or Korina claims they can not let customers know whether they have a prescription or not over the phone which is unheard of and some self made up policy. Was told I had to go there to find out whether or not they had the drug? As I can see from all the other reviews, I am not out of line. Will never consider this place again. read more

I dislike this Walgreen's. I don't want to judge all of the workers, but some of them just downgrade this Walgreen's horribly. Let me tell you my experience: 1. It is inappropriate when a customer is buying personal items and you let everybody in the store know about what personal items they're buying because you want to start a discussion with your coworker about it. Not because of a pricing issue. Not because of something you need help with. But because you want to have a frivolous conversation about that product which makes the patron uncomfortable. Not only that, you hate working at Walgreens on a Saturday and wish you were doing something else. 2. I hate when I go online and the website says they have a specific product you're looking for, and you go to the store and the manager (who doesn't even look) tells you they don't have it. 3. When you use coupons and the guy whose at the register questions your coupons when the price goes down. But he questions it by asking his coworker who says the coupon is correct, but then doesn't trust her judgement and calls someone one more higher up than her and the manager says "yes, it's correct". Why did you question my coupon twice? Why did you not heed the knowledge of the first worker. I don't want to say it's a race thing, but that thought did cross my mind. 4. I've only had one worker actually really try hard to help, but even he couldn't do his job due to managements laziness. read more

If I could give this $h!thole ZERO stars, I would. I'd rather spend my time at the DMV, the Bergren Ave post office, or getting a root canal than to ever go to this Walgreens. Terrible service, atrocious lines, and they always seem to have only one person working at the pharmacy counter. read more

Good Afternoon fellow Yelpers. I normally go to a place once and then write a review. But I've began to adopt the habit of writing reviews of places that I check into on a regular basis.. Walgreens.. Walgreens.. Walgreens.. No matter when I go to this store it's always a long line. The cashier is swiping items at the speed of someone who knows thier life is not going any where, So the world must endure the same fate.. Today I walk to the front to find what seemed to be at least 5 workers taking a long long long long break... RIGHT OUT FRONT... come on.. So I grab my item which I actually had to settle for because they didn't restock the brand of chicken stock I wanted. Now from the time I walked in to the time I walked out, the theft alarm was going off.. non stop. and I had to wait 15 minutes for my turn to get cashed by a man who watched me count 2.61 and still hold out his hand as if i shorted him..... Never Again.. read more

This Walgreens is awful! If it wasn't for its convenience and 24/7 hours, I don't think anybody would shop there. An upside, if any, is that the staff is generally friendly with one or two exceptions. (Note that I did not compliment their speed) Their products are expensive considering that AT ALL TIMES, 24/7, there is a line of 10-15 customers deep. Based on their sales volume alone, you would think that their price points would be more reasonable. If I could rate this store at zero stars, I would. read more

This review is for the availability of this place for last minute emergencies (24/7) and the speedy pharmacy! Every time I drop off a prescription here, it's ready on the same day depending on how busy it gets. Be careful in the parking lot, just use common sense...you're not inside a luxury shopping mall, it's the streets of jersey city so protect ya neck. Common sense. read more

This place is unreal, I've never met such rude staff but my most recent interaction with the pharmacy prompted a review. I'm sick and all I wanted to do is go home but came to pick up a prescription after a doctors appointment because they have a drive thru and was berated at the drive thru for coming too soon after being told it would be ready in a half hour.

Romella Orellana, Pharmacy manager, totally a rude incompetent staff, who act like a wise person who knows when to reject and stop you while you are not even finish, I had a flu I sent my wife with my blue cross card Romella sad card is not valid, when I call my card was fine, Blue Cross called her to verify, I came back again she was still rude but acknowledged the call from blue cross, and cut me short and told me to sit and wait they will verify again, after an hour waiting she told me main medicine is not available today you have to come tomorrow, I asked my prescription and decide to go to CVS while I was leaving I said thank you for eating my time, her rude reply was "you are very welcome" how can she be into a medicine field with no sympathy for sick people plus her arrogance? May god protect others from her mercy, I will never buy or step inside this Walgreen store again . read more
