A lot of the previous reviews say that the pharmacy is slow. It is a bit slow since there was only 1 person helping the drive thru and inside line, but once we got to the front, it only took 15 minutes to get our medication. The store itself was well stocked with everything from daily home essentials, party supplies, snacks, beverages, vitamins, toys, Valentine's Day items, makeup, cleaning supplies, books, pet items, and more.

If I could select a 0 rating for this Walgreens Pharmacy, I would. Just ridiculous. No staff and takes 1 hour to stand in line, nothing is ever ready. This pharmacy should be evaluated.

Quality/Quantity - Huge location, especially the parking lot. This location can look so beautiful, just see the potential with the architecture. See pictures. But garbage everywhere, I only took one picture. No garbage cans around anywhere, not even at the entrance. I need to refill my Clipper cards as I plan to go to SF and want to take the Alameda ferries. But last time I tried to reload online, it failed. Clipper card charged my credit card, but never gave me credit. So here I am. Atmosphere - See above, so much potential. The inside was clean and organized though. Open 24/7. Drive thru pharmacy. Huge parking lot, plenty of parking. Service - 5 stars. The cashier saw me walk in and came up front to help me. She was nice enough to check my balances on all 3 of my clipper cards and let me choose which ones to add more funds. She was patient and friendly, etc. I should have gotten her name. I also chose this location as it was on the way to my new grocery shopping stomping grounds. Price - Reloaded $20 a card. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1901. 1931 Walgreen drug store. 1948 Walgreens.

It should be ILLEGAL for advertised "24 hour" locations to close for hours at a time in the middle of the night!!!!

This location is supposed to be 24 hours, yet the stupid workers keep closing it between 10pm and 6am. And all the lights are still on, and a stupid security guard is just sitting behind the door. What the F*** is the point of a "24 hour location" that's never 24 hours for people who need it???? Make sure you call in advance EVERY TIME if it's after 10pm, to confirm if they are open. Even if they get annoyed. For instance after midnight today I called and they said they are only closing from 3am to 4am. Cool. Fast forward to 5:45am and the stupid id**ts are now closed again until 7am. Now why didn't the girl tell me that they were going to close AGAIN at 5/530am until 7??? This is UNACCEPTABLE!!! CALL CORPORATE!!!!

Walgreens used to be one of my favorite places to walk around as a kid because their toy shelves were always full. Now as an adult, I noticed it's almost always empty when I'm looking for little toys for my kids. Anywhoo, we had a last minute wedding and printed all of our signage, invitations, pictures, etc at Walgreens. They were fairly plain and sometimes off centered but there are almost always coupon codes you can use on the website. Everything came out beautifully!

looks like it used to be a movie theater

Planning to hold my package here but their schedule online says no pick on Saturday Sunday, is this real even though they're open 24/7?

Probably just means no new pickups because the mail dosnt run on sat/sun

This is for the rite aid on MacArthur in Oakland. They're one of the ones that did not get shut…read moredown, and that makes them busier, and especially the pharmacy as customers from other stores that closed migrated here. I usually go at night, but it seems in the day they have an ice cream shop inside. They were very low in non-chocolate candy stock yesterday, but they have wines and liquors and there was a sale on Barefoot (I love their Riesling and their peach wine so I'm glad they stock them!). They have 5-6 aisles of wines, spirits/mixers and beer, which is pretty impressive for a drug store. They also do household items well, so I can often run here in between grocery store runs and get lots of essentials at fair prices. The pharmacy. People are nice. Staff isn't treated well imho, they don't have relief staff for breaks or extra pharmacists helping. I know this is a national trend to overwork and maximize profits at pharmacists expense, (other drug stores had walk outs, too), but there used to be only pharmacists staffed behind the wall at pharmacies, now that they have pharmacy techs they run the pharmacists ragged and the pharmacy SHUTS DOWN for lunch and breaks! Part of the reason I shop late. If you're coming in during the day, call to make sure of their lunch time so you don't end up waiting or having to come back. They are out of stock a lot, and not just ADD/ADHD meds, there have been prescriptions maybe not popular but certainly not rare that I've had to wait days for, and other pharmacies always had on hand- I guess the alcohol aisles took space from somewhere. They do text me when it's in, but like with the ADD meds, if there's demand for it and you don't go right in they'll text you that it's in but then sell them to someone else before you get there, so don't wait a day or two. I come here bc it's close to my house and they have a good selection. It's a high crime area. It seems safe -ish to me, I go after dark and so far no problems in the parking lot or store, but they do not have security here that I've seen, so keep your head up and be aware of your surroundings, and don't leave packages in the car.

Well, Rite Aid, it's been fun. Sorry to see you close this store, but I understand the shoplifting…read morewas out of control in addition to the home office being unable to recover from the recent bankruptcy. Apparently this huge property will now be an empty store front. We can only hope that a reputable company will see value in this great location...just make sure you have professional security, as the thieves will ransack the place otherwise, as they did with Rite Aid. Best of luck to the friendly employees as they look for new jobs.

Go there several times a week. Great staff especially Step, Andrea and Tina at the checkout and…read moreSita in the pharmacy. Well organized store with great variety of merch and exceptional seasonal items.

A few things. first off yelp removed my initial review with my wife's account…read more We came in a few months ago looking for an abdominal brace, we asked a new employee in red shirt where they would be. he stated he wasn't sure what that was and that they didn't have any. I quickly got another employee I recognized and told him what happened. he apologized and quickly showed me exactly what I needed. I asked the employee to tell the manager this new employee needs more training, he responded that the man who said they didn't have braces was the NEW manager of the store. I was shocked. second- they are hiring all new people and I barely see any of the workers I know anymore, bummer! the original staff were so nice I prefer to engage with them not these new kids! third, I wanted to buy champagne for my daughters graduation, the employee helping me after I waited forever in line told me she couldn't carry or sell alcohol! why are you hiring minors? fourth, nighttime used to have 3-4 employees every night, now there are only two! the lines are so long often there is one employee I recognize running two registers at the same time! if you can't staff your store properly, you shouldn't be a manager, OR you should work alongside your employees like the previous manager woman did. fifth. there are always people outside begging for money, there are never carts anymore but I see unhoused people with cvs carts all over Castro Valley now. sixth. I have tried numerous times to speak with this mystical manager, the employees are always apologetic but say to give my number and he will call me. I want to speak to him in person. I went every day for a week and he was gone before 11 am that week. what a JOKE! seventh I constantly see overstressed and overworked employees, the store ran really well under old management, now it is a complete mess, and I never see any familiar faces except the lady with dreads who always talks for 5 minutes with everyone. she is nice but I don't want to tell you my life story! eighth If you really are a manger why are you never there? the store ran really well under old leadership. ninth I saw the manager one day leaving as I was coming in and overheard him telling a young girl to "make sure you ask for 10's on the surveys" that seems really shady and dishonest. I won't be filling out any surveys they give me from now on if that's how this new "manager" thinks things should run. I would not reccomend coming here as the new management seems really dishonest and not caring. numerous employees seem to be sick all the time. My wife is considering switching her medication to Walgreens because of all this and I don't even enjoy coming in anymore as I rarely see any of the regular employees just all these new teenage girl

The staff here go above and beyond for customers…read more Yesterday I needed distilled water, but the shelf was bare; Jorge got me two jugs from the back and took them to the counter so I did not have to lug them there; truly a customer-centric employee! Nico in the photo department deserves a special mention too. I do a lot of photo printing at this store, and Nico always remembers my name and is friendly and super efficient.

Thank god I don't have regular medical issues to need to shop at a pharmacy regularly. I came in…read morehere to find a specific OTC nasal spray after my husband's surgery, after checking both of the nearby grocery stores with no luck (partly because Safeway now has their entire pharmacy section behind glass). About 50% of the aisles here are behind glass, and it's absolute chaos. The same exact medicine in the same exact box will be both behind glass and not behind glass in different sections of the same aisle. Different formulations of the same thing, different sizes, name brand or generic, there's no logic whatsoever as to what's behind glass and what isn't, or even what section of the aisle something is in. I found the same medicine on opposite ends of the same aisle, both behind glass and not in both sections. So you're left trying to compare the ones you can get without calling over the *one employee in the store* to open it for you. You're scrounging the entire aisle, looking at the fine print on every product to see if it's just another brand's equivalent name for what you're looking for, comparing prices and added ingredients on everything. Trying to decide whether the one you can just pick up off the shelf is the one you want or whether it's worth calling over the employee to open the shelf for you so that you can even look at the other options. And then I got a headache and just bought the cheapest one I could pick up off the shelf. Good thing I already have headache medicine at home, not sure I'd survive trying to find it here. I'm never coming back.
