I get out of the Hospital at noon today. Hospital sent insulin and nitro glycerine and 4 others presriptions today would be ready to be picked up so I could go home with the necessary drugs. I check out of the Hospital (noon). Walgreens says stuff will not be ready for 2 hours. We go back in 4 hours. It is still not ready. Wait one more hour in a hostile store of hooligans. Then, they fail the fulfill the prescriptions. No insulin. Why? Because "they couldn't read the order". So, a person can die waiting for insulin, because somebody cannot read. Then, Nitro glycerine, a heart medication, very important. They just failed to fill the order. Then, you call them, and they hang up on you. This is not only bad business, but possibly dangerous for patients.

Horrible. Used money transfer service for weeks in the evening until 9pm (Walgreens system & service confirm). Manager flat out lied, said that it closes at 8. My receipt from the evening prior proved otherwise but he stood staunchly, continuing to lie. 🙄 A different supervisor tired to argue that my ID wasn’t actually me, asking me for a “different valid ID”. That WAS my valid ID! How is someone supposed to prove that an ID is truly their own? Awkwardly showing phone pics of myself & sorting through random insurance cards in efforts to “prove” it was indeed my license. How embarrassing & uncomfortable! Visiting Walgreens when I’m sick & look it, to get medication & tissues, surely I don’t look exactly as I do in a 6 year old, hair & makeup done ID pic… come on employees, use some intelligence to work it out.

I needed to pick up some stationary items over a holiday weekend, and I couldn't find any shipping places open so I decided to go to this Walgreens to pick up what I needed in spite of all the negative stuff in the news about these sorts of stores in San Francisco.
This place was entirely serviceable. There was even an extra employee at the beauty supply desk who opened a point of sale machine when the primary line got too long. She came around and told folks she was open and happy to help them.
All the stuff you see about pharmacies in San Francisco might be true of other locations, but I found this one perfectly fine.
In my experience, the Walgreens on Carrollton and Canal in New Orleans is MUCH worse in every respect. More aggressive panhandlers outside, worse condition inside the store, slower and worse customer service personnel. That's an example of a store I'd avoid. This one, I'd return to if I was in town longer and needed anything else.
