This place is so inefficient. 9:45 p.m., a line to pharmacy and check were both so long. Just there was not enough staff. Unfriendly service. To save money, less staff and collecting 1 star on Yelp and bad reputation? they will lose customers and will lose more money than they save. read more

This is not my usual Walgreens but I had to use their 24 hour pharmacy to pick up medication. The lines are terribly long and they seem understaffed. On both occasions, I was pretty sick and needed my antibiotics urgently and coming here was so stressful.The line had at least 15 people waiting and all the customers are pretty pissed off as well. Also, the location is a bit far away from where I live. I wish they opened up more of these for people who go into urgent care at night and need to pick up medication. read more

I wish I could give 0 star for the customer service ! This Walgreens does not hire enough staffs to serve a very busy service !!!! Staffs work very hard , this Walgreens location just doesn't know how to appreciate customers . They have to hire more employees for the pharmacy department . After 20 years being a loyal customer , I have to walk away after many repeatedly abusive , bad services from the pharmacy department ! ( not personally , but the monthly prescriptions never filled every month and this force me to wait around 1-2 hours wasting my time !!!!) Unbelievably bad service !!!!! read more

Horrible service. The pharmacist is incredibly rude, I get wrong information all the time (about medications being in stock etc) and they're all extremely unhelpful. The wait time is atrocious. read more

Nice service, good people. Not much can be said about Walgreens that people don't know. But this Walgreens had some very friendly staff and was able to complete my prescription in only 5 minutes. It's also open 24 hours a day, another big plus. read more

One star is to much!!! This Walgreens is the worst I've been to !!! Horrible,horrible customer service,very unprofessional-avoid if possible! The worst customer service you can get it was a nightmare yesterday when I come with my husband and my 2kids:((( Never again read more

Oh how I always ask myself why I go to this location - this time, urgent care visit and needed the 24 hour pharmacy. 10 pm and this place had a line of 17 people, yikes! Super busy, I honestly feel sorry for the people that work in the pharmacy. I make it a point to go to the new one down further or Los Altos as this one and the bums or folks always "collecting" for charity is not my style. read more

Poor service and people in counter rude to customers. Had to wait in queue for almost an hour even for express pickup

This review is for the pharmacy. I came here to pick up my meds and was told it would take 15 mins to prepare and that they'll call me via announcement speaker to inform me when to come to the front to pick up my prescription. After about 20 mins or so I hear my name being called so I walk up to the front and one of the staff rudely told me to get back in the line to pick up my meds. (Mind you the line had about 10 people waiting.) Wtf?? I've already waited 20 mins and now they want me to get back in line and wait again? If I could give them 0 stars I would. Ridiculous. Tl;dr: If you're told to wait 15 mins and come back for your prescription to be ready expect to wait in line for another 15 mins again. read more

We had to pick up an emergency prescription , and the doctor's office sent it to the wrong pharmacy. The Walgreens staff was very patient and handled the transfer easily and with grace. Great staff. And they all were licensed this time! read more

(I noticed most reviews are only for the pharmacy and not the actual store, so let me share my STORE experience quickly)... I walked inside simply for a bottle of water and little did I know I was walking inside of the most clean, enormous, friendly staff everywhere, tons and tons and tons of product...literally the absolute mind-blowing Walgreens I have ever been in. No joke, I went down every single isle and ended up spending over $150.00 - it was that serious. I am officially hooked. INCREDIBLE store! 10/10 read more

Walgreens - Pano - Drugstores Near Me - Mountain View, California

Everytime i come to this Walgreens the line and wait is long. Currently the line is 15 deep and there is only 1 cashier. I never get out of here is less than 45 minutes. A clear opportunity for Amazon to deliver prescriptions. read more

Only one cashier was kind of a bummer. Not because of the cashier was slow or anything but the customers that dig into their purses to find the right coupons just kills me. The lady that works in the cosmetic section saw that I only wanted to purchased cosmetic took me out of that long line and helped me out. It was great! Thank you! read more

Worst pharmacy ever. Wait time too long and they do not fill prescriptions in order received. The staff have apathetic looks on their faces and when someone is clearly in pain and uncomfortable, do not show care at all. If not for the fact that they are open 24 hours and open on holidays I would never ever want to go there. read more

I have never had to wait longer at a pharmacy. It should not take 35 minutes to pick up a prescription that was called in the day before. This is particularly dangerous during a pandemic when one should not be indoors with other people. Even with their socially distanced line, this far exceeds recommended time limits for safety. read more

Terrible. They do not have nearly enough staff to handle the LONG lines. Half the people in line there are straight from the ER with who knows what contagious illness. read more

So I had to get a few items at Walgreens and at that time, this location had everything I needed. Therefore, I decided to drop by during my lunch hour to purchase those items. I happily walked in and grabbed everything I needed. I gave the cashier my Walgreens card and coupons to process. The cashier was friendly and smiled throughout the whole time. It was a smooth process. A few days later, I dropped by again. This time, the cashier had to wait for her manager to approve my coupons. She made small talks with me while I waited (making the wait much more pleasant). Same as the first time, the process was seamless as soon as the cashier started processing my items. The only thing I don't like about this place was that they allow people asking for charitable donations literally outside the front door. read more

Horrible service. Rude pharmacy personal. They act like they don't care about customers.

Please, for the love of all that is good in this world, avoid this Walgreens. Woe betide you if you're sick in the witching hours of 1, 2, 3am and are searching for OTC stuff to sort you out, because unless you know EXACTLY where your product is located in this store's infernal layout, good fucking luck trying to get a store employee to help you find it. Case in point: I was searching desperately at 1am for a pain reliever for UTIs. The sole lady working behind the pharmacist counter confidently said it was in the feminine care aisle. After more than a dozen fruitless laps up and down that aisle, my frustration growing with each one, I returned to her (my mistake, I guess???) to inform her I couldn't find it. At which point she PA'd for customer service. NO ONE COMES TO HELP FOR 20 MINUTES. My poor urethra is in full revolt at this point. Feeling hopeless and irritated, I go to the cashier this time and plead with him to call someone to help. I get snippy because, empathize with me, duh. Customer in line is a crabby idiot who loudly whispers to the cashier that I need to be patient (fuck off old man, you probably voted for Trump and yeah, I saw you buying adult diapers). FINALLY the manager comes to help, immediately takes me to the right aisle, which is not the fucking feminine care aisle. I tell her about pharmacy counter lady being misinformed. Manager dejectedly tells me that she's been trying over and over again for pharmacy counter lady to get her shit together to no avail. Good god. I've also had the misfortune of picking up prescriptions at this location. 9 times out of 10 there are always gigantic lines and what I can only assume are pharmacy staff who have been expertly trained by a sloth. Now I'm gonna do a full Silicon Valley and get my prescriptions delivered to me because the last place my sick ass ever needs to go is this godforsaken place. read more

Slowest service in pharmacy! Save yourself some time and go to some other pharmacy. I used to visit here five years back when I worked in the neighborhood. Back then also the service was awfully slow. They haven't improved a bit since. Been waiting here for one hour for an antibiotic prescription. God knows how much more time they will take! read more

Go here when you're desperate and have no other choice. The pharmacists don't want to take any accountability for anyone here. They leave everyone just waiting in line to figure out their different queues on their own. This place deserves zero stars. The DMV is more efficient. read more

This is the Walgreens at 121 El Camino Real in Mountain View. congratulations to this store for consistently providing the worst shopping experience ever! - including before the pandemic. Tried calling to speak to a pharmacy staff member SIX times & was disconnected every time. Long lines & wait times at the pharmacy as has always been the case. At the checkout line, some mysterious holdup, no one else helping customers except 1 rude guy who shouts "cash only" at his register. I put down my items and walked out. THIS STORE SUCKS-AVOID. read more

This is a big Walgreens, probably 2x the size of most Walgreens I've been to. The cosmetics selection is huge and wraps around a wall of the store. They have a designated cosmetics check-out counter and the assistant here is really helpful! I have been twice and both times it has been the same lady. She asks if you need help and is very knowledgeable about the products they offer. I was looking at dry shampoo and she showed me a mini holiday pack that was shelved elsewhere that was a better deal. She also helped me find the lip liner pencil sharpeners right away. It is great service at a place I wouldn't expect it! The pharmacy usually has a line of about 2-3 people waiting, but they process orders quickly. read more

Poor customer service. I called to ask about store inventory for a toy and the woman (her named started in "M") on the phone said, "You can come in and see." Super rude and I'm extremely disappointed with how unprofessional she was. read more

The review is only for the pharmacy. It is the worst pharmacy ever! The prescription for my son was sent multiple times and the pharmacy kept saying they never received it. We spent hours coordinating. Someone from the doctors office had to call them and then they told it was rejected due to a missing signature. They resent it to the pharmacy but again the pharmacy did not confirm acceptance. We lost 2 days in this process!! Everyone including the doctor was so frustrated that they suggested us to change the pharmacy and everything was a breeze after that. These guys really need to pull up their socks and respect others' time. Pathetic service! read more

This walgreens is a sh*t show. Do not come here unless absolutely necessary. I was in the hospital last night and got released around 10 PM. I asked where a 24 pharmacy could be located since we don't live nearby and I needed the meds last night. They told me Walgreens. Ok I'm thinking it's late night there aren't going to be many people picking up prescriptions. I get in there and the line is 4 deep for the pickup window. The dropoff window tells you to go to the pickup window for service. Uh ok. So I waited and waited and waited. 20 minutes after standing in this line feeling like death, I finally get to the counter just to drop my prescriptions. The pharmacist asked if I was ok, I said no. She offered me some water. Then told me it would be about 30 minutes for my meds. Ok I'm just gonna sit down cause I'm not feeling well and certainly not trying to shop to waste time. Fast forward to over an hour later. The line has been 6 deep this whole time. Non stop people coming to get their prescriptions. This poor girl was running rampant. Now you would think with a pharmacy being so close to the hospital and the only one open at that hour there would be a few pharmacy techs on shift. People are starting to get very impatient and keep bugging the pharmacist about the length of time it's taking, only to find out they are filling prescriptions for the ER. What?! One guy was like the hospital has their own pharmacy what gives?! I get it. I was getting worse by the minute sitting there and wasnt happy either but hey sh*t happens. The only reason for 2 stars is the pharmacy tech that was taking and distributing prescriptions stayed after her shift to make sure I got my meds, which was over an hour after I turned in the prescriptions. She was very nice and I wish I had gotten her name. But next time I need meds filled I will look for another 24 hours pharmacy. Also there is a very interesting people hanging around outside. I was finally done and just wanted to get home. My husband was waiting in the car for me. When I got out some man was talking his ear off. He needed to make a phone call to get a ride home which took longer than I would have liked but I'm not heartless. My hubby was just happy to see me, since he was trapped with this guy talking. read more

I routinely show up here and my prescriptions aren't ready, even though I wait at least a couple of hours after they are called in. They have a couple people that work in the pharmacy that are very rude. They are highly unorganized....lots of people running around, but no one's getting their prescription filled. They took my credit card once, and lost it....All of this, plus, the overflowing garbage cans outside, solicitors, homeless, etc. Great location, but not worth it. read more

Walgreens - This is typical. I waited 1-hour before I came, plus 20-min in line...prescription not ready, ONE person servicing customers. - Drugstores Near Me - Mountain View, California

They always mess up with my prescription. This happened 5 times. I have had to wait another 30 minutes to fix their mistake.

I don't even want to give the 1star they aren't open 24hours due to staffing shortage you would think since it's right near El Camino Hospital which send tons of patients their was it would be a priority but no it's not and NEVER. Fall for the app saying the store has the item in stock they may very well have it but at a1 to 2 hundred percent mark up when I scan item it said 4.82 cents only to get up to the front and find out it's 24:95 when I questioned the difference I was told they don't price match when I said price match this came off ur shelf u saw me scan it I said I understand if it was a different store they said no Walgreens.com and local stores are in name only that local stores can make their own prices when I called corporate to complain I was hung up on twice and then sent yo rate my service life is too short stay happy find a new pharmacy where you are valued not ripped off read more

Welp....I just had one of the most bizarre, awkward experiences I've EVER had. I realize that prob makes me a pretty privileged person...none the less...I think anyone who experienced this would agree. I go to this location all of the time as I live in the area and never had any issue of any kind with any employee. That's why this felt like I'd slid through a wormhole into the twilight zone. I was next in line to check out and there were several people behind me. An employee walked up and was opening a second register. I was told I could come to that one but then this lady looks at me, rolls her eyes...and says to me "you can't be in here". I looked around cuz why tf would she be saying that to ME? I ALWAYS wear my mask, I'm polite, I'm not a thief...I literally have NO IDEA why this lady is saying this. I say.."me?" She says "yeah, you need to leave right now". I say..."who do you think I am?!...seriously you must think im someone I'm not". She deadpan looks me in the eyes and says "leave now". I asked her why multiple times because this was SO FCKING WEIRD! Seriously....imagine this happening to you randomly in the middle of nowhere in a place you've never had an argument, disagreement, run in of ANY KIND. She just kept repeating the same thing and I managed to remain calm even though I was shaking and trying not to cry cuz I was SO CONFUSED and wildly embarrassed. Again...I know that I live in a world where people are treated horribly (even fear for their very lives) because of the color of their skin and no one physically hurt me etc. Still....put yourself in my shoes. I set myvstuff down and left because wtf else do you do in that circumstance? I HATE confrontation, I'm not a Karen, I wasn't going to throw a tantrum but I've not been that humiliated in YEARS. I went outside, called a friend and sobbed in my car. So yeah....idk if I have a doppelgänger who's an absolute a-hole or what but like...F that place cuz that SUUUUUUCKED and my anxiety can't hang. read more

Zero stars if I could. They don't care at all about people just leaving the hospital coming to get prescriptions. We waited over an hour after they were already supposed to be filled. This place is the worst! read more

This pharmacy is the worst!! Waited almost 2hours in line even tho we had an appt for a vaccine. They should be ashamed of this store

Scheduled appointment for Covid Vax. Window for vax closed says "Go to next window" Waited 15 minutes to be told I have to wait in line with people waiting for Prescriptions. 15 deep in prescription line moving at a SNAIL's pace. They need more help obviously. Guy at front cashier twiddling thumbs...useless read more

Their 24/7 pharmacy is a life saver. I also order all my photos here. The quality is great and the products they offer are very reasonably priced. read more

This review is for the pharmacy. They're extremely disorganized. They sent me a message saying that my prescription was ready. When I arrived they told me to wait 20 minutes and after that they told me it's out of stock. Wasted my time and it's not the first time this has happened! read more

Do not be deceived! This place lies nestled in the confines of warm, welcoming and wholesome Mountain View! It is surrounded by soft green bushes that glisten under a full moon, bouncing as a comfortable breeze settles in from Half Moon Bay. You'll find it behind a Burger King that weeps like a widow, and a gas station long since abandoned. But, it gets one star for one thing only: rachetness! Words cannot capture the erratic behavior of the pharmacists here. Imagine a cross between Ellen, Elmo and Big Head from Silicon Valley. You will wait and wait and wait until you need geriatric medication for your sore back. I swear, I just heard her yell, "the computer turned off! Wait!" To a woman who told me, "I called it in 45 minutes ago." In short: this place is to pharmacies what Robert Shmuerda's arrest was to Hip Hop. read more

I have had only bad experiences with pharmacy. After speaking with my doctor, they notified Walgreens to have my prescription ready. I called prior to arriving to make sure that they had my prescription and the person who answered acted very unprofessional. Heavy attitude and was speaking very condescendingly. I asked her to hold on one second to verify my prescription number only to be hung up on. I decided to call back and got the same treatment. I asked again if my prescription was ready and the same woman said in these words: "The doctor only sends the information to us, you need to tell us when you want it." I told her that I wanted it ready for pickup as soon as possible and in her condescending tone told me it would be ready in 40 minutes. I can only hope somebody from the Walgreens pharmacy is reading this as this behavior was very unprofessional. This happened on Feb 4 @ 8:30 pm. I honestly doubt anything will change, but at the very least there is 1 more horrible review to add to the pile. read more

Crappy Pharmacy service. Don't go here. I was told that my prescription is not valid even though my doctor gave it to me. I went to a different Walgreens and they had no problem with it. What gives? I mean are there different policies for different locations? read more

No nonsense location with the benefit of a 24 hr pharmacy. The staff is helpful and the location makes it a quick detour and ideal.
