Buckle up--this wasn't just a delay, it was an ordeal…read more.. I rarely leave reviews anymore, but my experience at this Walgreens' photo department was so unacceptable that it warrants documenting. I submitted a photo order at 7:07 PM, and the confirmation email stated it would be ready by 8:15 PM. At 8:10 PM, I received another email saying there was a "delay," with no explanation, no updated ETA, and no further communication for the rest of the night. Because I needed the item for the following day, I waited. By 9:28 PM--nearly 2.5 hours past submission and an hour past the promised time--I called the store. A woman named Evelin answered, took my name, and said she would check on the order. I was placed on hold for 17 minutes. I could hear her helping other customers, talking to coworkers, and clearly forgetting I was even on the line. I eventually hung up and called back at 9:45 PM--only to have the call instantly hung up on. I called again at 9:46 PM and reached Bryant, who told me the order "was still printing" and asked whether I could come immediately since they close at 10 PM and would not be open tomorrow. While pulling up directions, another employee abruptly took the phone and asked, "How long until you get here?"--no greeting, no courtesy, just a rude, demanding tone. I said I'd arrive in 7 minutes. I got to the store at 9:58 PM and came face to face with that same employee, Andre. When I asked what information he needed, he stared at me for about 10 seconds, then said "I need your full name" without saying another word and a bored expression on his face. I gave him my name and told him I was the person he had spoken with on the phone. He walked to the photo area, and I followed. Only then did I find out the truth: the order was not printing at all. They hadn't even started it. I know this because the sticker on the print clearly showed a timestamp of 9:59 PM--one minute after I arrived. He had told me it was "still printing" when it hadn't been started at all. It took 18 minutes to complete the print. So after submitting the order at 7:07 PM--an order they promised would take about an hour--they didn't begin working on it until 9:59 PM, when I physically arrived at the store. The store was empty, it was a typical quiet Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving, and there was no legitimate reason for them to ignore the order. Instead of doing their job, they sent one vague "delay" email and then simply... stopped. No updates, no customer communication, no professionalism. In total, I waited: 2+ hours waiting past the original promised time 17 minutes on hold 3 minutes on the follow-up call 18 minutes in-store And not a single employee except Bryant showed even basic courtesy. Andre, in particular, was the rudest Walgreens employee I have ever encountered. His attitude, dismissiveness, and dishonesty were unacceptable. Whether he is a manager or simply acting like one, Walgreens Corporate needs to reevaluate who they allow to run their stores. The entire experience--from the lack of communication, to the forgotten phone call, to the lie about the order status, to the rude in-person interaction--was unprofessional, inconvenient, and extremely frustrating. This experience has ensured I won't be returning to this location at all.

Honestly, the only people who come here just to complain tend to be difficult customers. This is a…read morevery busy store, especially with East Los Angeles College nearby and being on a major intersection. There's constant traffic, and unfortunately, a lot of theft--so yes, they limit what's out on the floor for a reason. Staff also deal with people coming in yelling or even being aggressive, which most customers don't see. If you had to wait 10-15 minutes, it's honestly not unreasonable. This isn't a drive-thru. A little patience goes a long way. That said, it's actually a good store with loyal, hardworking staff who do their best. The store is clean, well-stocked, and self-checkouts are almost always open. Most of the time, you're greeted when you walk in or at least see staff available. The makeup department specially Ileni & Connie are so nice. This store is consistently being stocked, and someone usually helps you within a few minutes. They'll explain sales and how to use your CVS ExtraCare card, and they're genuinely willing to help you shop if you ask. The photo department works mainly through the CVS Pharmacy app--if you use it correctly, your order is usually smooth. If not, that's more of a user error situation. Food items are always available, and I've never seen anything expired or questionable in the fridge. As for the pharmacy--understand they are extremely busy, especially with a hospital just minutes away. It's a 24-hour CVS Pharmacy location, so yes, expect lines and sometimes a tired or direct pharmacist--they're working around the clock. Bottom line: this is not your average CVS. It's high-volume, high-demand, and the staff are doing the best they can under pressure.

I am honestly surprised by the high ratings this pharmacy has received because they do not reflect…read morethe level of service my family and I have experienced. I have personally gone without medication because a refill request was not acknowledged. A family member also waited nearly two weeks for a prescription delivery. When she went in to ask what happened, she was met with blame rather than an apology, even though the delay appeared to be on the pharmacy's end because they forgot to deliver it to our home. What was especially troubling was how staff treated her in person. After speaking with her in English, employees began discussing the situation in Spanish, apparently assuming she would not understand. I'm only writing this review now because, most recently, staff were unable to locate our patient records and prescriptions despite delivering medications to the same home for approximately eight years. When medications and patient care are involved, that level of disorganization is concerning. I genuinely do not understand how a pharmacy can be this rude, negligent, and disorganized while continuing to provide care to patients who depend on them. The ratings suggest a pharmacy that is reliable, organized, and responsive. That has not been our experience. Instead, we have dealt with delayed deliveries, poor communication, difficulty getting answers, a lack of accountability when mistakes happen, and unprofessional behavior from staff. Patients depend on pharmacies for timely access to medication. Based on our experiences, the ratings seem much higher than what the actual quality of service would justify.

Only one cashier was working the entire front end, visibly overwhelmed and anxious as she tried to handle an endless line of frustrated customers. There were no managers on the floor, and no one available to assist. I tried calling the store multiple times from within the building to speak to a manager yet no one ever answered the phone. Eventually, two very young employees returned from their breaks, 35 minutes after. Still no manager presence or support in sight. The cashier was left to fend for herself in an obviously chaotic and unfair situation. This is not just about long wait times; it's about the poor treatment of staff and disregard for customer experience. The employees deserve better support, and customers deserve better service. Shame on Gabriel, the store manager, for failing to do his job. If this is the standard under his management, perhaps it's time to reconsider his role. I'm seriously considering taking my business elsewhere--somewhere that treats both their employees and customers with respect.
