I like shopping at this location at nights after my work lol. They always have my special fav toothpastes I use and their business hours fit with my nightly quick runs before going back to my huge home. The staff here are helpful and nice. Especially last night when I was in and out. The place is organized and clean. Even their restrooms were greatly clean! Wow lol read more

What happened to this pharmacy location? When Sharif ran the place it was outstanding. Now I can say that I've never seen such incompetence in my life. For example, I returned a call to Walgreens while I happened to be in the drive up line. When it was my turn, I pulled up to the window, while the waiting on the cold response told me that no associate could pick up my call. Meanwhile, I see three pharmacist associates giggling together in the Pharmacy doing nothing literally while I've been on hold for seven minutes. That and they keep refilling partial prescriptions, even though I keep asking them to remove certain prescription profiles from my account a complete mess. read more

This review is for their Lab service located at the back of the store. I made an online appointment for fasting blood draw at this Lab Corp. It was my first time at this location but my husband said that he found it to be convenient. I arrived early for my appointment and checked in with my phone. My name was called on time and I was in and out pretty quickly. Blood draw was painlessly done and I don't see any bruising. This Lab Corp seemed popular as I saw a steady stream of patients arriving and/or waiting for their turn. I heard one of the phlebotomists tell someone that they were totally booked for today, so it's best to make an appointment online ahead of time. I'll be back near year. read more

Friendly service but pharmacy takes 20-50minutes to get your medications that are ready for pickup. I had to get out of the drivethru because they don't accept Apple Pay in that line. I asked if we had a card on file and she said no. I asked if it will take a long time to me seen when I come inside and she looked at the queue of customers lined up indoors. She said it depends. I asked if she's asking me to leave the drive through after 50 minutes to wait for another 50 minutes. She then said come to the window. Which I did. A pharmacy tech rang me up and asked if I wanted to use the carry on file. The card on file?!? Ohhhhh my gosh. Walgreens fix your system. It only takes 2-5 usually at my main pharmacy. You know the three letter red and white competitor just a block away. This is torture coming to Walgreens. read more

Walgreens came through when CVS couldn't. They were able to fill my prescription on the same day they received the prescription while CVS dithered, read more

Fast quick service switching from Rite Aid on Aviation boo hooo Great staff that are sooooo friendly and efficient while online prescription refills is phenomenal too read more

worst Pharmacy I've ever dealt with. Personnel do not know what they're doing. They're constantly changing under new management. I've seen eight cars in line at the prescription window and only one person working the line. Don't bother going there. You're wasting your time. read more

i would honestly say i don't ever wanna set foot in this place again. i went today and the staff was being extremely rude for no reason btw. i was being very nice and respectful. the lady checking me out was being rude from the moment i got to the register, like if you don't want to do your job maybe get out of retail!! i understand that retail workers deal with a lot of rudeness from customers because i am also a retail worker but come on be nice to people who are also being nice to you back. it also seems that this place is going under new management because there were new faces and a lot of workers around. i just don't think it's right to treat people like crap when they are literally being nice to you! read more

Can't do business on the phone. All pharmacy work has to be done in person. No one answers the phone. Wait on hold a half hour and get disconnected, etc. read more

The pharmacy is soooo slow and several mistakes over the years. The lead pharmacist is great but the experience is subpar. Wish there were better options. They need more staff and better training. Wait times at the drive through and inside are equally bad ! read more

Mia in the pharmacy has made my Rx experience easy, always personable, and been very helpful in dealing with insurance and saving me on my monthly Rx costs with adding my manufacturer discount coupon to my profile. read more

The staff here is sooo rude. It takes them forever to answer the phone, the online information on my account is always messed up. And they treat their customers like they are an inconvenience. read more

I was so enlightened today going to Walgreens. The pharmacist assistant named Mia greeted me with a big smile and was so helpful. Perfect customer service!!! Despite watching the drive through and the walk up line , she stayed sweet and efficient. Then the clerk at the front was so helpful! They had such great Christmas wrapping paper too! This trip to Walgreens was the best I have ever had. Way to go!! read more

I was very disappointed to learn last week that Shereif Sorial no longer works at Walgreens. My entire family is in mourning - he has been an essential part of our family's healthcare team for years and years. My kids are grown and on their own but they have appreciated being able to reach out to Shereif if they need a script transferred or for vaccines. I haven't changed my ratings for Walgreens because I have just learned about this change. But I fear the outstanding service we consistently received from Shereif will be a thing of the past. If we knew where Shereif was working now, we would follow him to his new pharmacy in a heartbeat! read more

Every Walgreens pharmacy, including this one, has no concept of time or sense of urgency. Scheduled an appointment for a vaccination at 7:30. Called in at 7:10 or so to make sure they had the vaccine we needed (a previous Walgreens we went to didn't have the vaccine in stock even when they promised us they did). ANYWAYS. Nobody else was here waiting besides me and my wife. It took almost 25 minutes for them to find the damn vaccine. And the whole time they were chit chatting it up in the back room. And oh. If you follow up asking how much longer you have to wait for a SCHEDULED appointment WITH NOBODY ELSE IN LINE, they WILL give you attitude. read more

Absolutely horrible! The staff is unfriendly and not helpful at all!! They are not efficient and have terrible wait times!! Even when your dr faxes over the prescription they don't even fill it unless you go up there. Then they start on it but you have to come back and they have a 2 hour wait time . read more

This is got to be one of the best Walgreens in the area. The store is super clean and well organize and filled with product. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable and very helpful. read more

Had my prescription transferred to the Manhattan location because they said they had medication in stock and I was completely out of meds. Was told to pick it up the next day 2pm. Called the next day early to see if it was ready and was told by Sierra that my order was placed too late and will arrive Monday? What? I asked why I wasn't informed of that the prior day when they said they had the medication. She put the blame on me somehow and was rude and dismissive! After I asked if she could help me find a Walgreens that had my medication in stock she said she was busy with other patients but to go sit down and she would she what she could do. (like I'm not a patient) This is not how you handle customers that need help. If a mistake is made, own up to it and move on. Looks like Sierra needs to move on to something else because customer service is not it for her. read more

Wow - we ran in the rudest employee I have encountered in a longtime today at Walgreens. Leah is in the wrong industry - not helpful, condescending and unmistakably had a grudge against people. If she is still working there the next time I stop in. I will take my business elsewhere for good. read more

Can the manager of this store if he even reads this make sure that the staff do there jobs and make sure the FOOD and DRINK...and the confectionery is actually IN DATE!!! so so many out of date food, chocolate bars on the shelf, chips, milk you name it!! Do they actually even BOTHER to check the old stock that's on the shelf's? You're selling out of DATE stuff!!!! I have bad stomachache now writing this as I ate an out of date chocolate bar, Disgusting I'm genuinely shocked at Walgreens. read more

Pharmacy staff is not knowledgeable. I come in and ask for a flu shot for a 2 year old, after waiting 30 minutes the technician comes back to me "oops we only do 3 and up" read more

Slowest and rudest pharmacy ever. Don't bother making an appointment, they won't honor it nor will they care about making you wait.

Great customer service! I had a medication change because I moved, the pharmacist helped me quickly and they were very nice.

I have ordered my Christmas cards from here the past 3 years and have always had a good experience. This year however, the cards came out super poor quality and I ordered the same card stock I do every year, and used a very high-quality professional photo like I do every year. I decided to return my order and will order from elsewhere that can handle high quality for a fair price. read more

Waited an hour and a half for my medication, only to call and find out they couldn't fill my prescription after sitting on hold for half an hour with this pharmacy specifically. Walgreens lost a customer. THEN I called my doctor and they COULD have filled part of the prescription, but after an hour and a half, chose not to. read more

Covid booster email says to "bring a copy of your Covid vaccine card". I brought a picture of my vaccine card and they can not provide me with a card. I have to come another time so they can stamp it. But the email says a copy is sufficient. I wish I knew you had to bring the original, as the email says a copy! Waste of my time. read more

By far the best Walgreens pharmacy!! They are always courteous, and an employee contacted me yesterday to see if I had. any questions about my medication. They even assisted me to place an order for a refill. Great service, I will always go to Walgreens in Manhattan Beach! By far the best Walgreens pharmacy!!

This is not just about MB, this is about the website and app. There is no way to contact customer service. The search functions are incredibly inadequate. Mostly, tried to communicate how difficult it is to understand the promotions... I give up. read more

Kind of like Ceilingreds, but slightly more grounded. Love this place for their nachos. (Only can get them from the pharmacy). Favorite time to shop here? Glad you asked. Once I had athlete's foot. Got athlete's foot stuff here. It worked. Don't get me started about thee nasal spray. Ooooooh boss. read more

Dropped off my Rx over 2hrs ago. Tech said it would be done in 30 min. Just got back. And IT IS NOT DONE!!!! It wasn't busy when I got here. Why isn't the Rx ready? Wow. It took them 4 minutes after I arrived to get it done!? Too late. Should have started 2hrs ago. Not 4 min. ago. Once again- dropped off my Rx 2 hrs ago. They said it would be done by now. But of course, as soon as I pull in they need 10 more minutes. Why?????? Then they tell me to pull around since I am in the drive through. What is it? I'd really like to know why the RX does not get handled until I show up. read more

Regina in photo was SO helpful and kind when I was picking up my order. Thanks you for working through the pandemic and for being so nice in a time that is so tough. read more

I realized my prescription isn't due for a refill but your call center told me it was so..? Thanks for wasting my time

I sent my disposable cameras 2 weeks ago now and I still haven't gotten them back. I've called 3 times for a status update and no one knows where they are. I understand that WALGREENS sends them to a different company to get them processed, but what I don't understand is why no one can tell me the status update. I asked the manager to call the company to see if she can get me a status update and she refused to do it because "it's too hard." She says they are processing and on the way, but it's way passed due, they should be ready by now. And a worker I've talked to several times about this issue was very kind to help me but she also had concerns as to why my photos aren't ready. The staff was not helpful besides that one woman who has helped me/felt my frustrations. I'm very disappointed in the costumer service. And the fact that I have to call the second hang company myself because the manager won't help me. UPDATE: I called the second hand company and getting help from them to see how my photos are doing WASNT HARD AT ALL. However, they don't even see my photos in their system. And the woman who helped me is kindly looking for them and figuring out where they could be because they say they were sent out by WALGREENS but no where in the system can she find the status on them. So WALGREENS what's up, y'all being sus. read more

I bring in my prescription today and let Sharif, the pharmacist know that I'll be waiting in store for it to be filled. Sherif tells me, 1.) NO, I CANNOT WAIT IN-STORE for this drug to be filled. He tells me that Walgreens doesn't allow "waiters" for my controlled medication, period, and this has always been so. 2.) He says it is 'Walgreens long-standing policy' to ALSO require a 2 hour wait MINIMUM to pick up this type of medication and has been this way "since forever" This is a flat out LIE. And now I'm pissed. If it's a new policy-Fine. I can deal, but it's not. If the wait is extra long today--Fine. I will cope. But don't lie to me and blame it on a company policy that doesn't exist. If he is right, it means that every other Walgreens is in a heap of legal trouble bc the only store enforcing these policies is Sherifs. If that is the case, he deserves a raise and apology from me. I hope customers know to take their business elsewhere, and that this is a store-specific/employee-specific issue rather than a Walgreens-wide issue. I deserve an explanation and an apology. As long as Sherif is behind the pharmacy counter and hasn't issued me an apology or response with further care/explanation, I will never do business at this location again. I hope my business matters. Thank you. -Lauren 4/26/2018 read more

I have been coming to the Manhattan Beach Walgreens for many years. Since they opened. I don't usually leave reviews but, I must in this situation. The pharmacist Sharif has bent over backwards for me month after month. He is very personable and goes the extra mile and honestly, I have never ever been treated this well from any previously visited pharmacy. I had to add this because I have read other reviews about this pharmacy that are not fair. Additionally, this pharmacist is not the only one who deserves recognition, they all do. I just have to add that if everything about you and your doctor is on the up and up, then you have nothing to fear. If something is amiss, just don't come here. Gary read more

The staff here is the best by far and I would come here again. The pharmacy is quick and easy and free Covid 19 testing

I like this Walgreens! This one is brand new - opened up about two months ago - so everything is nice and clean and in order. The employees were all wearing "I heart Manhattan Beach" t-shirts, and the ones I ran into were very friendly and helpful. I didn't know Walgreens sold fresh whole fruit! This one had a nice display next to the register. They also have a drive-thru pharmacy, which is nice if you just have to pick up a prescription and don't want to get out of your car. 5 stars for a nice Walgreens... finally! read more

This used to be a good pharmacy. However, the last 6-8 months it's completely gone downhill. No one answers the phone (so annoying!!!!!!), and the staff for the most part apathetic. One small example, going thru drive-thru, I'm sitting at window and no one is acknowledging me. Ok even though they can see me, I probably have to hit the "call" button. I do that and still nothing. Several mins pass snd finally someone comes and asks if they can help me. Really, 1 of the 3 people in there couldn't have thrown out an "we will be right with you?" Par for the course now with that place. read more

I want to like Walgreens, but every time I go in the customer service is beyond lacking, this also refers to the pharmacy. Please get someone in there to train people on how to interact with the public or set a higher standard of work performance and only hire people who can meet it. With employees who don't care, who are on their phones, talk to everybody like it's a pain, I recommend spending your time and you money elsewhere. read more

I went to several Target, Big Lots, Dollar Tree, Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens today (Monday 12/30/14) in search of discounted Christmas items. The day after Christmas, most stores had 25% off, which isn't motivating. Right now, most stores have 50% off, which isn't too bad. One CVS @ 8985 Venice Blvd touts 90% off right now already, so you can get candies for under $0.10 and boxes of candies and cookies for under $0.50, as well as wrapping paper rolls for around $0.50 too. I sort of feel that 70% off or more is the sweet spot for discounts where people start to buy stuff they really don't need, but can't pass up a bargain. I went into this Walgreens looking for heavy Christmas stocking holders for the mantle with a hook... and this is the only place I found 'em for $10 less 50% off today, so they were $5 each, which isn't spectacular, but is reasonable and fair to buy now, store 'em away and bring them back out every Christmas. read more
