It's been my experience that, most often, Walgreens is a bit less expensive for the items I want, and they usually have them in stock. Such was the case at the Date Palm Drive location. The staff was courteous and helpful when I could not locate my items. The cost was 25% less than CVS had them listed for on their website. Here's a toast to wise shopping.

Asking to use the restroom was like pulling teeth, and we didn't ask until after we purchased items and picked up medication. All your employees need other jobs if they don't want to work in retail. This coming from someone who works in retail. I'll take my business to cvs and my prescriptions. No wonder Walgreens stores are closing.

I've been using Walgreens as my primary, really the only pharmacy I use . Seriously thinking of…read morefinding another pharmacy. For years I used the small Walgreens at the Davies medical center. I got excellent service there. . The pharmacy became exclusively for prescriptions filled for in house patients or something like that. So I switched to the 18th street pharmacy at Castro Street. It's been one issue after another . Never the same employees so I have no allies in the sense that someone is looking out for me. Never mind all the company policies that continue to add to the difficulty of getting my meds filled much less the untimely manner as well. I'm frustrated. I hate to give any more business to Amazon. So I need to find a better alternative. Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Cashier only greeted me at check out. There were other South Asians customers shopping. I'd only come here when I don't feel like driving further to get middle eastern staples.

Finding some things was a little odd, they have an end cap for premade dips that wasn't where it should be. Not being as familiar with this location it turned into an entire experience. The produce and wine, beer and spirits sections being the most functional in terms of organization. The deli, pre-packed goods, bread, baked goods etc area was super limited - expected to find hummus and spreads here like at other locations or pretty much any grocery store in SoCal, but they like to keep you on your toes lol We were able to get help whenever we needed it and reasonable prices as to be expected. The isles are solid though some odd end caps and displays here and there. It's still got that vintage aesthetic with very modern touches I've been noticing at all Staters - mostly on the outer halves of the store. Huge parking lot with shared businesses (including a very nice carwash, fast eats and more), though not quite as big as the other Vista Chino location. Friendly staff, clerks and security make for a nice grocery going experience.

I must say the clerk that I saw Monday morning about 830am was absolutely a Godsend…read more I believe her name is Lisa. She did greet me with a cheerful "good morning" when I walked through the door. She seemed somewhat busy. And I figured it was just another hurry up and get my stuff and leave. I was the third person in line waiting to pay. I was honestly amazed when she went to the check out and called the next person in line. This lady was operating two cash registers. And speaking to everyone. I was treated like a "regular" even though I had never stepped foot in the store before. As she was ringing me up for my coffee and donuts, she asked me how I was, and how my day was. This whole one minute conversation we had I felt like I was important to that business. If only other stores had employees like her. I know that 7-Eleven looks at her as a lowly little cashier. But she made a difference to me on that day. And I do hope to see her again.

Looks nice from the outside, not so much on the inside, especially with the hot food…read more Came in for a slice or 2 of pizza. There was one slice left, and the customer in front of me bought it, along with almost everything else what was hot. I don't blame the customer, but the lone slice of pizza looked pretty sad, as if it had been sitting there a while. Although I've found a few seconds in the microwave can usually zap them back to life. Since I wasn't even greeted when I came, and this particular customer was taking a while, I decided to leave. It's a bummer to because I went out of my way for a slice of pizza and Cherry Slurpee and left with neither.

Today I came in and spent too much time going through my phone and loading and uploading and moving pictures. And in the time I was here, several of the photo employees greeted me and made sure I had everything I needed. They were so friendly, and I felt super relaxed to take my time. I watched one employee talk with a customer in such a gentle way as he was helping her understand what it meant to have a family member upload a picture rather than taking a picture of a picture. It was so kind, and it's just those little acts of kindness that the world needs right now. I could tell the couple really appreciated him. Upon picking up my pictures, unprompted the employee scanned a code that gave me half off. I really appreciated that today. Thankful for this place.
