I don't appreciate Amanda's sour attitude towards the customers! She truly gave me a bad experience with that foul mouth! From being out of state and that being my first experience of Texas I truly don't appreciate it. She could've handled the situation with the customers differently. Hopefully next time I come in it will be more family friendly! But do better Amanda read more

San Marcos really needed a Walgreens "on the other side of the tracks", and it finally got one. Great and convenient location without all the Highway 80 drama. Easy in-and-out. Now all they need to work on is making it a 24-hour store... read more

Walgreens - Logo - Drugstores Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Whether you are a starving student or seek cheap work lunches to feed starving student co-workers, with a rewards card (fast sign-up, I get pretty minimal junk mail) you can get some grocery-priced premade two-for-four or five buck deals in this convenience-priced store. You just need to be flexible and keep your eyes open. Still my go-to for emergency wrapping paper/greeting cards or pharmacy items. Still fills the gap when Sunny's doesn't have what I want and I'm too lazy to drive all the way to the baby B. I haven't gotten a prescription/photog services here but all the employees I've dealt with in the past year (and very many beyond that) have been actually friendly. For a corporate chain that's pretty great, but then again perhaps I am lucky. THE CAVEAT: If you find yourself here in the pre-party beer-snacks-smokes hour, you *will* be in line. And you're going to need to bring your Zen. Life in a college town! read more

Awful experience with my family receiving a Covid vaccine here. Kept us waiting and waiting and waiting and we had an appointment! Very poor customer service, non-existent. Never got my name right and clearly didn't care. They just basically ignored us and then made us re-complete information that had already been done online. They offered no apologies at all. Save yourself the aggravation of this place and go local to B&J where they actually care about their customers. I rarely post a negative review, but this was just the worst of the worst experiences! read more

The pharmacist manager is great. No appointments necessary. Had all 3 Covid shots and my 1st Shingrix there. Superb customer service.

Will Walgreens do anything to support their pharmacies and customers during a pandemic? This is the letter I sent to Corporate: Store 12521 San Marcos Tx on Ranch Road. I made my appointment online for my covid booster and my flu shot. I filled out the forms and provided insurance at the window when I arrived. The lady didn't even know who I was, didn't have an appointment for me, and asked me to provide the email your corporate site sent me. I provided it. She said that they just didn't have my appointment. After I left the window, I looked around, and there were five pairs of eyes looking at me: five other people who'd been waiting 30-45 mins for their appointments, who also had to redo all their paperwork. We chatted and compared notes, and they were not happy. One had his very elderly mother with him, and she was sitting, with her walker, silently, suffering the indignity that only the disabled elderly know: Silent, forgotten, unimportant. When they called her son, he asked them to take his mom first, but they told him she'd be next. I felt so sorry for them both. My five new friends all left, and five more gradually filed in and took seats. I stood the entire time, to dodge the unmasked, and move out of people's way. After an hour waiting, I got back in line and asked about my vaccines. The pharmacy technician Christine spent a great deal of time explaining that she was overwhelmed and short-handed. She said they have had no applicants to work there since May. She cited normal pharmacy business, plus she's giving covid tests every 15 minutes and vaccines every 10 minutes. I noticed she was only wearing a blue surgical mask, not even tightly, on her face. She asked if I wanted to work there. I told her I would, gladly. (I'd wear a real mask.) Then the pharmacist, Sean, called me back for my vaccines. He was utterly professional, apologetic, efficient, gracious, kind, friendly, and meticulous. He answered my questions, and assured me he had cleaned the chair himself before seating me in it. He gave both vaccines, and assured me that contacting corporate was the only contact I should bother with, that the pharmacy manager can't help them. She's caught too. Here are the considerations: 1. Why bother doing online registration and appointments plus forms if they never make it to the pharmacy? 2. You have senior citizens (already at risk due to age) waiting in a pharmacy with a bunch of other people, some sick, in an inside setting without any modifications for ventilation or air cleaning, for over an hour. We're asked to fill out forms and handed a clipboard and pen already handled by every other person who came before us. (Hand Sanitizer was available, for what that's worth.) 3. Staff is wearing token masks, not well-fitting N95-type masks, but little thin blue surgical masks barely staying in place, much less tightened, gap-preventing, or actually air-filtering their breath. 4. They are all over-scheduled and under-staffed. They need the vaccine registration and appointment via walgreens.com to actually work. They're having to do work that should not even be needed. In the time they're having to take to give out, receive, and process paperwork, they could have vaccinated everyone on time. The corporate site obviously isn't working. Please help them. They need 20 min intervals, minimally, between vaccines, and a great deal more help. They need the corporate site to work. Thank you for your time and attention. read more

Easy to get in and out. Needed film developed and this is the place! One of the few places to take care of your old film rolls. Thanks!

The pharmacist/pharmacy manager (Asian lady) is just horrible. After waiting over 5 minutes while she was talking to a customer, I ran to the restroom and when I came back all the gates were closing. I knocked and yelled, hello, hello on the gates (because I could see her) and she would not look or answer me. I waited for her to walk out and I asked her if I could please pick up my prescription (I know that she had seen me waiting in line) and told her I've already paid for the prescription online. She said no, we close at seven, those are our new hours seven come back tomorrow when we open. I asked her again please, it's an antibiotic and it's already paid for. She replied No, come back in the morning when we open. I don't know if it was a communication snafu (Hope not in her profession) because English is obviously her second language but what she did was just wrong and RUDE RUDE RUDE. New hours are terrible and they are now closed on weekends, too. It's really too bad because the other pharmacist I've dealt with has been outstanding! My new pharmacy is CVS or H‑E‑B! read more

Great store in a great location. Life soooo much easier when you don't need to drive into the fracas that is I-35 & Hopkins! Well stocked, well lit and they always have a ton of specials. Beer is cheap and they even offer a Red Box location right outside. It it were 24 hours it would get a 5/5, great store, check it out! read more

Went in with 3 prescriptions and the Good Rx app. Pulled up the price for one of the prescriptions and the lady at the pharmacy told me that price was only for members, I told her i was a member, she said well its for gold members, i showed her i WAS a gold member, then she got snooty and told me that that Walgreens didnt honor that price..What???? They tried to charge me 3 times the amount of the price quoted. I left and had my prescriptions transferred to the little HEB. They charged me the exact price for all 3 that the Walgreens tried to charge for 1. I like the store overall but will NEVER use that pharmacy for anything again. Id rather drive a little farther than have to deal with rude snotty people that work the pharmacy counter..... read more

The only place near me with pretzel m&ms and a really friendly staff. I think the only thing I would change would be the makeup brands they offer. I buy cruelty free and they really only have wet n wild at this location. read more

I ordered a canvas photo that was suppose to be ready at 1135 am. I came at 7 pm to see the staff standing around doing nothing and they did not have my order ready. Then waited another 30 minutes for them to call another employee to help find it they couldn't, they asked my order number I told them and then finally after not finding it they printed it. I've ordered from Walgreens plenty times before and this was the worst. Super disappointed in this location never using them again. read more

WOrse store ever Zero customer service!!! IF you plan to make big purchase here or buy items as the sales ad indicate better head on to the Walgreens on hopkins.. This people act like your invading their home. I went there first time newbee to San Marcos Walgreens.. I was looking for the sales items and the Manager acted like if I was going to steal. I asked her for a rain check and she said I didn't need it because it was on Sale????!!! There was no more DAH that is why Im asking.. ANyways I went to Walmart after that and ask them to price Match Walgreens advertisements.. Worked like a Charm.. Thanks for putting the AD Walgreens because Walmart honors them alll the time without looking at you like you are crazy or something.. Well this last time I went back AGAIN like a FOOL and here is what happen!???!!!! Well I went yesterday to my Wonderful exciting Walgreens in San Marcos Texas... It was a sheer nightmare the clerk did not want to take my coupons because it did not look like the pictures ????? Then he said since the items were on Sale anyways, I shouldn't bother using the coupons????? I had to force him to use the coupons which he began to argue with me.. The manager then came after he notice a long line and the clerk screaming at me!!! He told him to just enter the coupon codes and stop arguing with the customer.. But he began argueing with the Manager????? I asked the manager to kindly redo the charges because they wer wrong and they wanted me to pay 15.00.. The manager refused at first.. Then I told him I will pay but I will come back and request a meeting with the district manager.. So he took a look at receipt and told the clerk he didn't understand what the heck he hand done, which in turn the clerk blamed me????? Finally I was moved to the cosmetic counter were a very nice lady helped me with the help of the overlooking Manager. When it was all said and done I spent $3.92.. I informed the manager that I always had difficulty here in this particular store with regards to coupons he said, that I needed to go to the cosmetic department so I wouldn't hold the line???????No apology was done.. I then informed him that it didn't matter were I went it was always difficult.. I left after being there 2hrs. by the register, Im glad my receipt had the Survey on it.. I used it.... Oh by the way I did this transaction and I also had a HECK of a time explaining to the Manager how it workded. for the Nature Bounty buy one get one free using Walgreens coupons and manufactured coupons... It was a nightmare... The guy in back of the line said he just wanted cigarettes and the Manager was so rude.. I told the manager I was willing to wait so he could tend to his customers. He told the guy behind me that if he wanted cigarettes he just had to wait!!!! What a nightmare!!!!! I felt so bad for the guy...!!! Really do they think that is the only store in town!!!!! read more

I took my disposable camera here with all of my pictures on it from my trip to Costa Rica and they had someone who did not know what they were doing develop my pictures. They opened the camera wrong and exposed all of the film to light and ruined all of my photos. DO NOT take your disposable camera here to be developed, they can not be trusted! Take the time to find a different photo shop or location to do it. I am so disappointed, those photos meant soo much to me. I would give them no stars if that was a option. read more
