Walgreens brings back memories of my very first official job using my Social Security number! It was a Walgreens in the Lauderhill Mall in Lauderhill Florida. I was in high school and my parents said if I wanted to travel to Europe and go to college I better get a job. Haha I worked organizing the merchandise after customers messed up the displays and I ran the register at check out. Back then Walgreens had the soda fountain with a counter and stools and the booths for restaurant seating too! I wish this one did! There goes Marianne telling stories. These are the memories I had when I was happy to find a Walgreens in Manhattan. I knew of one other in my hood but it closed. Walgreens purchased Dwayne Reade Pharmacy Stores but it's definitely not the same as being in this true Walgreens location. They have a huge Hallmark department. I didn't find calendars for 2022. I spoke to the nice store manager and she said maybe they did sell them online but they don't decide. For Hallmark store merchandise the Hallmark Company stocks their merchandise. We talked about her job, she's been with Walgreens three years and is happy working for them. I did really feel for her and the other employees as it was a very hot day and the AC in the store was broken. Needless to say I looked around and then hit the door. I had heard there was a Walgreens in this area. I am so glad I accidentally found it to bookmark and review. I know I will definitely return. I like their store brand diabetes supplies because they are reasonably priced. I'm highly recommending! read more

This pharmacist just gave me a vaccine over the wooden counter when I was 35 weeks pregnant. She refused to walk around when I said I was scared of needles and preferred to sit. Additionally, I waited over an hour for my vaccine when I had an appointment. read more

This pharmacy, besides one of the clerks there, is the worst! I was on hold for over 15 minutes and they picked up and put me right back on hold. Bad customer service. Do not recommend. 7oth and 2nd location. read more

Amazing customer service! I left my medication at home and Sanela provided me with a refill enough to get me thru until I get home and also gave me a coupon! Thank you! You really make a difference. read more

Stood in toothpaste aisle for 5 minutes and not even an announcement after pressing every call button in the aisle.

Extremely long wait times. Upset about that! Took three days to get a medication called in, why? Not a good experience. Customer service needs improvement. read more

This Duane Reade pharmacy is absolutely the worse they never ever answer their phones and put you on hold for literally ever until your call drops! It's incredible then you go in person and there is like 5-7 people behind the counter but none can answer the phone??!!!!! It's been 38 minutes that i have been on hold not able to speak with one person at all unacceptable!!!! read more

Adriana was a delight! She helped me get my Covid and flu shots done in seconds. SHE IS A PRO!!! And the pharmacy staff are all very professional. If you have to pick a pharmacy to go to this one would be it. read more

Walgreens in general but in this particular case I'm writing specifically about the Walgreens located at 1328 2nd Ave in Manhattan. I renewed a prescription through the automated phone system, I was told to pick it up anytime after Thursday 12/18. I went to pick it up and was told "we don't have it". To me that was unacceptable. The fix suggested by both the cashier and then the pharmacist was to tell me to "call around and see if you can find it somewhere else". REALLY?!?! That should be the stores responsibility. The pharmacist then had a complete mental breakdown because I was frustrated and demanding answers. Can you imagine that, I was frustrated because my medication (which I'm required to take to stay healthy) wasn't available and the staff's attitude was basically "not my problem". After the pharmacists mental breakdown, I was ignored. Going to Walgreens for prescription medication is literally EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE!! The company has no sensitivity to customers and the mental anguish one goes through when they are unable to get a medication that a customer NEEDS and was promised. Not only is every pharmacist at the 1328 2nd Avenue location in New York inept at their job (scary since they are doling out medications), it's clear that Walgreens does NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS HEALTH. I would urge anyone and everyone to not enter that store. I'd be remiss if It didn't mention that while I was having my issue with the pharmacist, someone inserted themselves (who i believe was an off hours employee) and asked if "I wanted to take it outside". So in addition to your health not being a concern of these people, you also have a chance of getting a threat of being physically assaulted. WHEN YOU CANT GET THE MEDICATION YOU NEED, IT CAN BE A VERY UPSETTING AND STRESSFUL EXPERIENCE. WALGREENS ATTITUDE "NOT MY PROBLEM" read more

THE VERY WORST EXPERIENCE!! GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE!! I arrived at the pharmacy at 501 and while ever person was behind the counter no one would help me because i was 1 min late! Im a senior, was picking up a critical mediation and explained that i had 102 fever and couldnt someone help? The script was called in earlier and all they needed to do was allow me to pay! INSTEAD the children behind the counter told me to transfer the script to another store...ACROSS TOWN...since they are 24 hours. ALL FOR 1 min. Now as i sit here without my meds - it seems inconceivable that people in health care could be so heartless. read more

Like most chain stores in the city there are never enough employees around to ring you up. It was clean and I easily found what I was looking for so I'll meet the rating in the middle read more

This is a two part review. One for staff administering the covid vaccine, and another for Walgreens. For the covid vaccine, both times the person giving the injection was kind, masked, efficient, and very pleasant. Shot 2 was given by Isabella who did an excellent job. She even took me earlier than my scheduled time and set my mind at ease while giving me the shot. Isabella and the first technician could not have been nicer and shots were painless. Thank you to Walgreens for providing this service. Walgreens has now announced that masks are optional, which is in accordance with the CDC ruling. However, if a person is getting a vaccine, safety measures ought to be in place as they would be in a doctor's office where masks are still worn. About half of the people in the store were unmasked, including the security guard at the front door, random staff members, and shoppers. For this reason, even masked, I did not feel safe waiting in the store 15 minutes after being vaccinated, and chose to wait outside instead. I wish Walgreens would reconsider this policy while offering vaccines. read more

If you value your hard earned money or health- don't go there. They are a bunch of incompetent cheats. They give you prescriptions you didn't ask for and make you pay for it. They won't acknowledge their own mistakes- just take your money and run. I would never trust my health to this pharmacy ever again. Absolutely disgusting! read more

The store is small and has a poor selection. The manager is aggressive and scary rude. The male pharmacist is cold and impatient.

Went to the this Walgreens today and the staff was kind and helpful. Didn't expect much but I got everything I needed in less than 15 minutes. They were pretty quick compared to Rite Aid where they take their sweet ass time. read more

Quick update - the staffers were undergoing the holiday transitions, but the biggest obstacle to their business now is that massive construction building for the 2nd Ave Subway sitting outside their door blocking the entire city block. I didn't even realize I was walking past the Walgreens door until I was already past it - they may want to put a better banner out or something. read more

I don't know why people rated this location low because it's just a regular Walgreens. It's pretty clean and honestly the girl who works in beauty is so sweet she helped with everything I needed! read more

I tried to get my prescription of a controlled substance filled at this Walgreens because I am temporarily living around the corner and they flat out refused because it made them "uncomfortable" even though it's a valid prescription that I have been getting filled at a different Walgreens for years. They spoke to my doctor and everything and still refused. And when I called them to discuss the situation with them they put me on hold for an hour. As if the situation wasn't aggravating enough for me, the staff was rude as well as being unhelpful. This one experience has so turned me off I will be considering changing my insurance just so I don't have to deal with Walgreens and their customer service again. read more

This is the pharmacy to go to if you want to die or stay sick. What is the deal here?! Months ago, They were closed for a couple of weeks with a sign saying you could pick up your prescription around the corner- it was not true, the referred pharmacy had to transfer the prescription and you would have to wait and if it was a controlled substance it couldn't be transferred. Ever since their impromptu lengthy closure I have been in a number times, at least 6 times and the pharmacy is closed for no reason. I asked a store staff member why they were closed "this time" and he shrugged his shoulders and walked away. Yesterday I went to pick up my prescription and again they were closed, I asked the security guard if they would be open tomorrow and he said yes, 9-6. I have repeatedly called today and they're not picking up so I assume they're closed once again. I wonder how many people have missed their insulin, blood pressure medications, and medications that have withdrawal symptoms. I've transferred my prescriptions to a different store at this point except for 1, which was my doctor's error - and then there's the rude pharmacy staff! I went here for a few years and it was never great- but now it seems the city should shut them down for withholding medications that people depend on...and clean your filthy store, turn on the air and teach your staff some basic manners. read more

Horrible customer service, no one knows what they're doing. Called about a prescription yesterday, not in stock. Could have told me yesterday. read more

I have lived in the building above this store for many years and have never experienced what I experienced today. I am in this store about 5 times a week. There was clearly a sign saying that Vitamin Water was 3 for $3 with card. I picked up six from the shelf and when I got to the register they refused to honor it. I asked for the manager whose name was Chris R. He said that the ones I got were not on sale. I asked him to please show me the ones that were on sale and he said. "I know what we have in the store and the ones you got were in the wrong place." I asked him to walk with me so I could show him the sign but he refused. There were at least 12 signs saying that Vitamin Water was 3 for $3. He could have shown me the "mistake"I was making but he was really rude. I have two photos which show all Vitamin Waters on sale but I cannot post them for some reason. He said rudely, "If I give you the price would you be happy?" NO! I wanted him to speak to me nicely and honor what the display says. read more

This Walgreen's doesn't match the super-extensive selection of its duplex sister stores at, say, Astor Place or on Broadway in the 90s. But because it's a Walgreen's, prices are consistently lower than those of its neighboring competitor chains (DR / CVS). And it's open 24 hours! For the best prices -- nay, for INCREDIBLE bargains -- always ask for a copy of their EasySaver coupon booklet at the front-register and stack up your savings by combining those with weekly sale items. read more

Rude staff. Instead of using words to inform me the new payment system does not involve "tap" mobile pay, the team member rudely banged on his plexiglass towards a sign as I was looking down at the machine confused. It startled me and I still didn't get his message or purpose of tapping the glass. A customer behind me politely told me. I've never had issues here. Back to CVS. read more

This Walgreens opened the day I moved into my apartment across the street and it became like my second home. Sometimes I would have to go in there three or four times a day. The cashiers and pharmacists were super nice and helpful. The problem with this Walgreens is that it doesn't have as much selection as other Walgreens or other drug stores in the city and it was often out of items we needed. In any case, it served its purpose--providing essential food and drug items 24 hours a day at better prices than the local bodega. Walgreens, I will miss you. read more

It really is just the same as every other Walgreens just not as big. The staff at checkout could be friendlier. They have good selections considering the size, but I'm still a fan and use this as my photo center. Prices are fair and it's 24 hours, so when you desperately need that 3 am face wash or 4 am frozen dinner, you're covered. read more

1328 2nd Avenue Walgreens in NYC the security guard closed the store 10 full minutes early with people in line still checking out on Friday august 20th 2021 and told my husband and I to go home and wouldn't let us in. 10 minutes before they're supposed to close. Very unprofessional and I hope sincerely someone does something about this. read more

Open 24 hours. Even the pharmacy department is 24 hours. Good prices. This Walgreens has actually just been through little renovation and the store looks great. The weekly sale items are always in stock and if not the manager would help you order more for their next shipment. Good customer service. Managers will make sure you're being taken care of. read more

Love that walgreen carries small sizes sanitizer and antibacterial wipes in reasonable price.

Review for COVID vaccine: The staff was so organized and people commented on how we were called exactly at our appointment time- which is unheard of for any appointment! read more

I am updating my review because of one pharmacist, Isabella, who is honestly the greatest! She has gone out of her way for me to find me coupons and is thorough and efficient. When I see her working I know it will be a far better experience! read more

I live on this block, and the sheer convenience lures me in from time to time. I'm always hopeful, but WITHOUT FAIL there is a long snaking line and only one or two registers open. No matter the time of day - it's pretty magical. Unclear why they don't call for more support in the front, as there are always a few more employees milling around. Also, the photo printer is broken, so my prints came out all streaky and oddly colored. They gave me a full refund, but not without some bellyaching on my part.... The selection is pretty standard for a drugstore, but on the whole you'd be much better off going to the Duane Reades on 1st and 3rd... read more

I used to avoid coming here but now there's a very nice man named Jose L working the front and he's very friendly, helpful and makes shopping here a pleasure now. Thanks Jose L read more

Never received my order placed order 4 days ago and still waiting for confirmation that it was shipped very disappointing.

I just went there this evening. I gave the cashier a coupon. She rung up my order while looking at the coupon in her hand. Despite this fact, she failed to credit me, and when I pointed it out, she replied that I should have told her about the coupon that she had in her friggin hand. Rather than deal with the credit herself, she made me wait for the manager, who seemed stoned. He keep asking for the coupon and just gazed blankly at me while he struggled for another 10 minutes to figure out my credit. The store has some of the dumbest and rudest people that I have ever encountered in my 28 plus years living in the city. read more

Their pharmacy is slow, understaffed, disorganized. Go elsewhere. Even to another Walgreens. I waited an hour, only to find out they didn't have my prescription. read more

Don't use their ATM. It was having trouble dispensing the bills, and when I counted them, it had given me $20 less than what I withdrew from my account. The Walgreens staff said it's a third party issue and they couldn't help me, which I don't blame them for, but it is a problem that they have such an awful ATM. read more

It's a Walgreens, keep your expectations in check. Pharmacy is slow and the assistants are annoying girls that think its funny to chase off customers by telling them the wait will be long. Seriously, I've watched this happen. My biggest gripe is the HEAT!!!! In the summer its HOT, in the winter, it's HOT. I think the manger is from warmer climates and prefers it that hot but I can't last more than 10 minutes sometimes. And don't buy any chocolate here because the heat causes it to degrade. I have had to throw away several bags I have bought on different occasions. It is always discolored and covered in a white film. Moving soon so I can find a new one. read more

Needed several prescriptions quickly. Called to find out when the pharmacy would be open. Info was 8 am to 10 PM. After an hour of being told the pharmacist were busy waiting on others, I went in person. Found the pharmacy window closed with a message to go the nearest store - 145 Fourth ave. When I complained to the mgr. he blamed the subways and was angry at me!. Horrible place! The pharmacist eventually showed up and I got what I needed but I hope to find a new pharmacy. read more

If I could give the place a zero I would I waited next to the security cases an hour and a half for soap I only waited because I'm new to this area on vacation or recommend you go to CVS read more

in the area, and needed some supplies pronto. place is open 24/7 includes pharmacy a big plus. place is well stock and lines move fast when all 3 cashiers are working. the staff are very nice and know me by my frequent late night visits to pick up this or that. the sales are a selling point for me, my only gripe the 2nd ave subway line is right in front and those rats run wild at night, but besides that ,a well organized WALGREEN 24/7 read more
