I drove from SFV to come here because the customer service is top notch! Thank you Andre, sometimes people go above and beyond and really deserve recognition!!! This is by far the best Walgreens to shop at based on the people working here! Thank you! read more

The store is conveniently located and I usually use the photo services here. It's great, I can prepare the photos on my computer - then pick up the same day if necessary. During Covid, alcohol and hand sanitizer was available when other stores were sold out....I think the first Walgreens I remember shopping at was in San Francisco... read more

Buckle up--this wasn't just a delay, it was an ordeal... I rarely leave reviews anymore, but my experience at this Walgreens' photo department was so unacceptable that it warrants documenting. I submitted a photo order at 7:07 PM, and the confirmation email stated it would be ready by 8:15 PM. At 8:10 PM, I received another email saying there was a "delay," with no explanation, no updated ETA, and no further communication for the rest of the night. Because I needed the item for the following day, I waited. By 9:28 PM--nearly 2.5 hours past submission and an hour past the promised time--I called the store. A woman named Evelin answered, took my name, and said she would check on the order. I was placed on hold for 17 minutes. I could hear her helping other customers, talking to coworkers, and clearly forgetting I was even on the line. I eventually hung up and called back at 9:45 PM--only to have the call instantly hung up on. I called again at 9:46 PM and reached Bryant, who told me the order "was still printing" and asked whether I could come immediately since they close at 10 PM and would not be open tomorrow. While pulling up directions, another employee abruptly took the phone and asked, "How long until you get here?"--no greeting, no courtesy, just a rude, demanding tone. I said I'd arrive in 7 minutes. I got to the store at 9:58 PM and came face to face with that same employee, Andre. When I asked what information he needed, he stared at me for about 10 seconds, then said "I need your full name" without saying another word and a bored expression on his face. I gave him my name and told him I was the person he had spoken with on the phone. He walked to the photo area, and I followed. Only then did I find out the truth: the order was not printing at all. They hadn't even started it. I know this because the sticker on the print clearly showed a timestamp of 9:59 PM--one minute after I arrived. He had told me it was "still printing" when it hadn't been started at all. It took 18 minutes to complete the print. So after submitting the order at 7:07 PM--an order they promised would take about an hour--they didn't begin working on it until 9:59 PM, when I physically arrived at the store. The store was empty, it was a typical quiet Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving, and there was no legitimate reason for them to ignore the order. Instead of doing their job, they sent one vague "delay" email and then simply... stopped. No updates, no customer communication, no professionalism. In total, I waited: 2+ hours waiting past the original promised time 17 minutes on hold 3 minutes on the follow-up call 18 minutes in-store And not a single employee except Bryant showed even basic courtesy. Andre, in particular, was the rudest Walgreens employee I have ever encountered. His attitude, dismissiveness, and dishonesty were unacceptable. Whether he is a manager or simply acting like one, Walgreens Corporate needs to reevaluate who they allow to run their stores. The entire experience--from the lack of communication, to the forgotten phone call, to the lie about the order status, to the rude in-person interaction--was unprofessional, inconvenient, and extremely frustrating. This experience has ensured I won't be returning to this location at all. read more

I'm so upset. I bought a pack of star-face pimple patches and I came home and I open the package and there is nothing in there! This is so ridiculous and so unfair. I'll call in the morning and see if I could get any help. Either way this is so upsetting. read more

Walgreens - Drugstores Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Buckle up, this one is a long one The pharmacy told me last week that my prescription was ready. I don't live nearby but they are the only pharmacy that carries my medication. I have the app and I also received an email and call that I was good to go. I arrived and they told me they don't have it... they tell me to come back in 7 days. 10 days later I get a call saying my prescription is now ready for pick up and that they will only hold it for 3 more days. I make my way back and get to the pharmacy table and they are like we don't have this prescription ready for you. I was confused because they were blowing up my phone, text, email, and app notifications telling me to come now or they will cancel my prescription. They say it will take 30 minutes to fill and I ask if they can expedite the process since they informed me they do have stock of the medication and I was told that it would be ready upon arrival. Idk if I did something to upset Jasmyn but she was not rocking with me since the moment I stepped in line. She kept repeating "30 minutes" everytime I tried to speak. I literally could not get a word out so I just agreed and thanked her. I decided to run some other errands at the dollar tree nearby. The minute I was driving off the Walgreens lot, they give me a call back and tell me my medication is ready. I decided to continue going to dollar tree because I could not trust that it was truly ready if I stepped back inside so I wanted to give an extra 30 minutes. When I got back inside, I was met with Jasmyn again. She was totally not having it with me. I tried to use a coupon I got off of the Walgreens website for a discount on this specific prescription and she rudely interjected before I could even ask her if she could apply the coupon. She said "we don't take coupons here" and I was so confused because I got the coupon sent from Walgreens so I told her that I had retrieved the coupon from Walgreens. She again says "yeah we don't take coupons." I showed her my app and how I got the coupon in the first place because the medication was quite expensive and I wanted to cut as much cost at possible. She then says "I said we don't take coupons for controlled substances." Jaw on the floor. I was being gaslit. She did not say that at all, but me hating confrontation and being an extreme people pleaser, I apologized. I wanted to use my FSA/HSA card to pay and it was the first time I was trying to use it. It asked for my pin and I stumbled because I never set a pin. The pharmacist on the other side goes "what's going on over there" as if I were holding up a whole line when I had realistically not been at the window for more than 5 minutes at this point. Jasmyn shouts back "she keeps trying to use a coupon and I'm telling her we can't." I was already past the coupon. I was trying to pay and I had maybe been trying to figure out what to do with the pin for like 30 seconds!!!! Side note: the medication I was picking up was adderall. I have ADHD and they had already left me 10 days without any medication so you can only imagine my struggle to focus on the task at hand when I have 2 ladies talking about me as if I were not right there. It made me feel incompetent. I started to panic and ended up just Apple paying with my card out of pocket when I was too scared to ask Jasmyn how I could use my FSA/HSA card. This experience was not different from my first one. The first time I came to pick up my medication, the teller at the window was equally as miserable, but the male pharmacist was nice. This time, both the teller and pharmacist went out of their way to make things more complicated and uncomfortable. I'll probably look for a new pharmacy that carries my medication because I do not want to be ostracized every time I want to pick up something I need daily to function. This goes without saying: beware lol. They do not give a damn and have little to no empathy. If you have questions, ask AI. It will ensure that you get an answer that's not passive aggressive or condescending. And to Jasmyn, if you're reading this, please be patient. Not everyone who walks in knows the ins and outs of medication prescription and insurances. I'd hate for someone to come in looking to get their meds be treated the way I was. I think I was lucky with being fluent in English. God forbid someone comes in not speaking the language that Jasmyn speaks and she loses her patience with them. Do better!!!! read more

I was extremely impressed with the pharmacy technician. She was efficient, friendly and very helpful.

I came in to have some photos printed and I was clueless as to how to use the computer. I. Van was absolutely amazing, he walked me through every single step and was so patient and so kind. He was unlike my kids that give me the Huff when they are frustrated. He deserves a hundred stars and a big fat raise read more

I have been coming to this Walgreens location in Monterey Park for many years. I came buy medicine,photos,sweets and much more. One thing I like is the deals they have pretty good. I always shop different Walgreens in different area. read more

My go to location for prescriptions. I first came to Walgreens to get my second Covid vaccine over a year ago and made reservations online since they have free parking and the location is close to home. My appointment was on time and I didn't have to wait long to get checked in. The pharmacists there are very nice from the times I've visited. I appreciate them sending me SMS reminders when I have a prescription ready for pick up or if there's going to be a delay. Picking up my medication is quick and easy. As a returning customer, they saved my primary card on file to quickly pay for medication I need. I also used to come to this Walgreens to pick up DVD rentals from RedBox when that was still a thing. read more

Really nice store and customer service was amazing. Hector was really nice and helpful. Overall my favorite Walgreens in Montebello in my opinion. read more

Placed an order for memorial cards time for pick up was 7:18 and they weren't even done when I came 10 minutes late. Won't be coming back here. read more

Horrible customer service. I spend one hour trying to have someone help me with Photo center and no one took the time to help. I waited an hour sitting down patiently for customer service. I asked respectfully and unfortunately no one responded. There were no customers at 10:58 am. I got tired of waiting and left. Shame on who ever was in that station. I will happily take my business somewhere else's. I was planning on spending about $300 for your service. Too bad read more

Well organized store that tends to be eclipsed by the slightly more popular CVS. One section of Walgreens that earns five stars is their photo department. I was very impressed by how easy it is to order prints online and via the Walgreens app. The orders are ready quickly and the price is quite competitive. The photos are printed out for you and carefully packaged which is a great advantage during this pandemic. Sign up for Walgreens email notifications to receive coupon codes that can be redeemed online particularly for the photo department. If you pay with your Apple credit card you receive 3% Apple cash back on each purchase. The only drawback is that this Walgreens closes early while the CVS down the block is open 24 hours. Plenty of parking. Enjoy your visit! read more

Per CDC, COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for everyone ages 6 months and older in the United States for the prevention of COVID-19. Why even schedule when you don't even have it for infants and 4 year old. The pharmacist says they don't offer it for children 3 years old. What conflicting information read more

Ivan and eddie employees at this location had horrible costumer service, they both where heartless when they saw me struggling with 3 big reusable bags and when one torn on me I couldn't juggle carrying them after one of them torn on bud lol they me I asked if they sold any big reusable big bags they said they had none so asked if I could leave the torn one behind as I go next door to purchase one they said no which I understand they're not responsible but when I said if I could just leave it and if they would just not read more

Today Saturday at approximately 5 pm I pressed the button for assistance in the first-aid section. I heard the voice in the loud speaker request customer assistance was needed. After the 3rd announcement I notice a young woman pass by at a distance a couple of times. She finally started walking towards us without a care in the world and instead of greeting us she asked what I needed. Rude and appears she doesn't like working there. Poor customer service skills. read more

This location needs to train their supervisors on better customer service. I had a return and Monica assisted me and was very rude and poor energy would not even make eye contact with me. If that's the type of supervisor that is left to run a business I'm sure this location is struggling with sales. read more

I visited one night (at 5am) to return an item (vitamin/supplement) and subsequently purchased sandwich bags and in those quick 5 minutes I have never felt like I was judged SO hard. Even given my medical scrubs I was wearing, the cashier took quick and *unreasonable* precautions by calling the manager because I wanted to a use a coupon (from the Walgreens Ad!!) on my phone. I was using the Walgreens app (you're lucky I even installed it if you're reading this .... marketing folks!) but I didn't "clip" their coupon on it. The cashier obviously took it as some coupon scam when I suggested using it on my phone (I have worked in the retail sector throughout college and grad school.... why would you page the manager for a simple transaction when the situation doesn't warrant a manager?) Hello- most retail sectors use coupons on the customers' phones from their apps... example- Kohls which is doing fantastic in the stock market right now (but never mind...that's because they take their own published coupons or maybe.. have better trained employees to not upset customers lol) So the manager came by, and I couldn't think of anything else but to walk over to get the paper ad and give it to her the coupon the old fashion way. F your app if you can't even take a quick second to examine if the situation makes sense. This is why you need to continue printing ads! She quickly grabbed the paper ad from my hand (a natural response because she was embarrassed / pissed/ still defensive) and then pretended that all was good and wished me a good day as though nothing happened. Lol It was a bit insulting to encounter a situation like that over a purchase of 2 boxes of sandwich bags, but I silently forgave the cashier for not knowing any better when she was trying hard to save the day at Walgreens! Hopefully she realizes no body would scam your store of sandwich bags. Hopefully... Just think.... what are the possible items that are commonly sold in the black market. I bet you they won't be sandwich bags. Lol read more

Located off Atlantic in Monterey Park. This is a 24 hour location. Came here to try out the photo printing. The staff was helpful and checked up on me a few times the process was pretty easy the only downside is if you have tons of photos on your phone it will take a awhile to load your photos but once that's done the process was easy to select photos and printing. Especially if not busy they will print your photos right away even if it gives you a time to return to pick up. It can get pricey if you do collages but individual 4x6 is pretty reasonable. Overall experience here was good I would go back. read more

This is the first time at this Walgreens. I just want to recognize BENNY! Because even though he had a long line, a rude customer ,he still was very patient and kept his cool , handled the situation very well. He has amazing customer service I have been to many walgreens were I'm told I cant change something on my walgreens card. I believed it was going to be the same here but no ! BENNY Made it happen, he whent above and beyond. I was there Saturday morning about 9 am. You need more people like him working for your company. read more

Walgreens - First time here. - Drugstores Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Very poor and rude customer service. The shift lead on duty was not helpful or even seemed like she wanted to be there. The store manager needs to address this kind of behavior immediately. The cashier wasn't very helpful either. I didn't get there names but hope this gets addressed read more

This is the second time I ordered Christmas cards, photo etc from this Walgreen. I placed my order during the day. The order was supposed to be for same day pick up. When I ordered the cards online, it said they would be ready at 4:50 pm. I went to yoga and came back to pick up my order at the store at 8:10pm, but my cards are still not ready. They told me that they were busy to prepare my order that I had to wait 20 more minutes of my time to have my order. As I wait here, I can say that this is the last time I order something from this place. I do not want to know and I don't care if you guys don't have time to make my order. The right customer service will just apologize and period. Customer are not supposed to try to understand what goes wrong In the store. If you can not meet the need, you guys have to get more employees so there is not just one person doing everything in the store. Also, you have to teach the employees to be better customer service. If you guys don't meet the need, then take away the same day pick up option. Don't tell me it is going to be ready at one time if it will not be ready on time. After 20 minutes passed, I had to wait until Edendida, her name, finished with the line of people that came to the store after i arrived. read more

Walgreens - This is my confirmation receipt. I placed the order at 4:04pm. The order was supposed to be ready at 4:50pm. Second time happening. - Drugstores Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I get my prescription here. I have everything ready and I'm usually in and out within 5-10 minutes. Solid service as I see them help elderly patients and non English speaking patients patiently. The actual store is decent. Not a fan of of the line goes into an isle though read more

This goes solely for photo services. Cleanliness and item selection is fine. These employees never have my documents ready on time, whether I come 30 minutes for 4 hours after placing my order it's still "Just fifteen minutes". Every time I come it's an extra wait, partially missing documents, the wrong order entirely. Management is always on the floor so I do not understand how no one ever seems to know what's going on with Photos. read more

Do yourself a big favor and just come here if u are in Monterey Park/ Montebello area... After a disappointing visit to nearby CVS, we decided to go to Walgreens where EveryOne was Welcoming and Friendly (: !!! 5 stars to the Pharmacist and team !!!

We are in virus crisis mode and the staff were not stressed out and panicked as in the vibe in CVS on Garfield ... read more

Pharmacy was supposed to reopen at 2pm it's 208 and still waiting....Its gets better, I came for a COVID vaccine and they told me they were all cancelled for today. I told the counter person I made the appointment a week ago and received no notification. She said she called this morning and "spoke to someone". I pointed out I received no call and it was my cell phone so she could not have spoken to anyone but me. Caught in a lie she had no response. Avoid this place, if they are that disorganized I wouldn't trust them to give me a cough drop less a vaccine. read more

I am here to ONLY pick up photos & the line is RIDICULOUS ALL THE TIME!! It's never a grab & go here, so make sure you know it will not be a quick store run. Can't they make a completely separate line for pick up photos? read more

I just had to do another review on this place. EVERY TIME I NEED HELP THE MANAGER DUC... goes over and beyond to help me find what I need and never complains how busy they are. Its been a while since i went there and they still have great customer service from MANAGER to register .. Thank you Walgreens happy customer read more

Not much of a Walgreens shopper here, but this location has a Redbox, so I'll rent and return movies here when it's convenient. Overall, I find the drug stores (Walgreens, RiteAid, CVS) to be higher than other stores unless there is a sale or if you have a coupon. This location is your average sized Walgreens. Staff is friendly and helpful. The parking lot is never full (a plus). It's next to Staples and Togo's sandwiches. Xie Xie! read more

Been a customer for 3 years, Recently had a fraud case on my visa debit with a chip,$500 and & 150 on September 15, I checked with the pharmacy and I was never in the store on that date, been getting my prescription here for three years, occasionally buy other things once in awhile, Walgreens denied the fraud because of the chip on my card and now the bank won't return my money! I have to file a police report and have them review the cameras, this had to be an employee, beware!!!! Also when I talked to a manager they were no help whatsoever and the corporate wasn't either read more

I came in this morning to grab a few things and I had a few offers I wanted to do. The cashier Jasmyn was extremely helpful, I mean she really went above and beyond to help me. I had a $7 off 3 Crest/Oral B toothbrushes and it would attach to items when scanned on the app but once I was rung up, the coupon wouldn't appear. I brought a few different brushes to see if the coupon would attach at the register but it still wasn't coming up, she was very patient and very polite trying to help me out. She even went to the oral care aisle and showed me an item that she knew would attach and sure enough, it did! Jasmyn, thank you so so much for all your help and thank you for your patience! She was incredible, thank you again! read more

This is usually my go to drugstore for things when I need something and don't feel like dealing with crowds at target or Walmart. But today I felt like the manager thought I was out to steal something. He stopped me twice to ask me, " is there something I can help you with mam?" -it is polite, but it was the intonation and he asked me twice within 2 minutes of the first time. I understand I'm dressed in casual clothing, walking quickly from one aisle to another aisle with a bottle of shampoo on my arm, that did have my purse, but still. I guess this is what it feels like to be " profiled." Little does he know I'm a physician in the community!!!! read more

I think its important to recognize someone who goes out of his way to help you at his store I believe his name is Duc please if i spelled it wrong please correct me...I think its the little things people do to make your experience shopping there alot better. I personally would recomemd to come and shop at this Walgreens there all so friendly and welcome you with a smile read more

Pharmacy sucks !! They honestly need to hire more staff .They took forever to get started on my prescription

Whenever I have a prescription to pick up, I make sure it's send my to Walgreens. It allows me to be sure that my prescription is being taken care of correctly. They have the best pharmacists and employees. The thing I like about this place, is the nice accessories. They have a lot of stuff using the nice logo, for example the nice waters, I always get these waters, and they taste delicious. They also have candies, bread, chips. The nice brand has really prioritize the store, and I'm really grateful for having the opportunity to eat their products. Pharmacy is the back is also well stocked. read more

Thank you Nelly and Martin for your help! after having a bad experience in Alhambra searching for my product, I came to the store that they originally told me to go to only to find that the product I was looking for was out of stock there as well. Needless to say the two associates that helped me were amazing! They did everything they could to try to help me even though they were having issues with their system. I ended up ordering them online on my phone with their guidance (I am not tech savvy) and they showed me how to have it shipped to the store. Something the Alhambra store could not help me with. read more

I'm grumpy, snotty and sick. I stomp into the the Walgreens daring the clerks to look at me . . . no . . . GLANCE at me, just to practice my ass-chewing looks. Clerk 1: Welcome to Walgreens (cheerfully!) Clerk 2: Can I help you with anything? Medication for colds? I recommend this, it's cheaper and it works just as well. Clerk 3: How are you doing today? Cold? Aww that's too bad. Please come again when you feel better. Wow. My mood actually got better after going to this Walgreens. Goodbye prozac, hello Walgreens! read more
