Came here for my COVID-19 vaccine a few months ago. It is your standard Walgreens stocked with the usual items. I remember having to wait a long time for my first vaccine, but the pharmacist was very friendly and answered my medical questions. The second vaccine trip went fine, but we did not go into the room with the green +, and instead lined up around the greeting card area (weird). As for the items, they usually have a clearance section if thrift is your thing. At the time I was searching for some of the Cadbury eggs. I found some, and the small eggs too... but they turned out to be dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Guess customers went crazy for the latter! read more

Walgreens - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Salinas, California

I always have my perceptions sent here and they are always prepared very quickly. The lines can be long sometimes but it's like that at every retail pharmacy so what can you expect. I would choose Walgreens over Walmart or Safeway pharmacy read more

Terrible pharmacy. Long wait every time. Upwards of an hour. Only to be told the meds not ready. I had received a message ahead of time saying they are ready! Floors, chairs dirty. Lack of air flow is so bad in back of store. Needs fans. Male pharmacist is the worst. Very rude. read more

If I could give this pharmacy 0 stars I would! My mom gets her medication here she changed from Walmart because her insurance won't cover over there it's the only reason we are even at this dump. They call and say my mother's prescriptions are ready and they have nothing ready say it will all be ready at 1 pm we come back the next day and they have 1 only !! An entire 24 hours later they have 1 ready we come back again two days later only because they said they would call when it was ready which they NEVER did. Then they say the other one was "canceled" a regular medication my mom takes DAILY. I cannot wait to switch insurance so we don't have to come here again! read more

I wish there were other options to use for pharmacy under my insurance but need to use Walgreens. Almost every time I go there is some delay in processing, then find the lines so long that pick up is a slow process. I used to also use the photo dept there but somehow their machines are often broken. Sign me frustrated! read more

As usual, its a horror show. No staff, lines out the door. Only because my meds are forced to be here, am i here. Anyone with a choice would be gone. Just tragic read more

Read here how someone was basically forced here. Us too bc of my employer's choice's of RX coverage. As I write this I'm on hold for now 20+ minutes. 5 times they've answered and said "Walgreens, hold please". I get they're busy but come on! Maybe hire more counter staff. Keith is Friendly and pleasant to interact with at least. Finally picked up for real at 23+ minutes with a 6th teaser read more

I went in to Walgreens a few days ago first time using Online digital coupons and let me tell you there was a Mexican lady I didn't know her name had great customer service. I wasn't sure if I entered my number or scan the card she helped me threw the process. Other employees saw me wondering around they asked me for help I thought that was nice, I just didn't know where things were so I walked around to see, got things I needed. Second time I went in a young girl help me and allowed me to do two transactions which was also nice. I was able to roll over my 10rewards to my 2ed transaction and will be coming here once a week for sure . Great store. read more

Walk in and do your business it's the best bet. Online is a total disconnect curb side is a100% failure fore. Store pickup same associates are lost on what the process didn't check if what I ordered was in the bags so I paid for items that were missing and then told my refund would come 7-10 days later. After my purchasing experience I got hame and.was still.missing items. Online and curbside NEVER AGAIN! read more

No one respects the online pickup parking spots. Now I complained I feel like a big old Karen. Your store needs more handicap parking, I realized after I was complaining I was talking to a handicap man using the online pickup parking space. I feel like such a jerk. Maybe you could move the pickup order parking signs to a different location or just take them down. I have never seen anyone else use them for their intended use. Others like the handicapped needs those parking spaces more. Not many people do pickup orders at this store. Maybe I should just drag my fat butt into the store to get my online pickup orders. I like do to complain. read more

1 stars. I don't understand why it takes so long to get my pictures!! My usual Walgreen's gets it done in an hour. The lady behind the photo counter is rude. She didn't acknowledge us but made eye contact then turned away. I know she was on the phone but a glance or some gesture would have been nice customer service. I do have to say the other lady who worked at the main register did come over and assisted us. I want to thank her. She is always helpful. Avoid the photo department. Horrible and I hope the management reads this and train her on guest service. read more

This Walgreens is by far the worst pharmacy I have ever been to. I have only been going there a few months and every time my prescription is refilled late, causing lapses in my daily maintenance medication. The pharmacy is utter chaos with techs scrambling around to find rxs in different locations. Their automated refill system is a joke and delays refills. I call 5 days ahead for a refill to circumvent the inefficiency and incompetence, and they still can't seem to get it done right and on time. They don't deserve one star. They should be shut down. I am filing a formal complaint with consumer affairs. read more

once again long lines only one person working at 9am. no point of getting express pickup cuz staff will still tell u to wait in the long line. and once again app not working. im forced to come in person because the app doesnt accept fsa and then to opt for delivery pacakges always get lost not on delivery ends but on the pharmacys end. again the app reflects its been out for delivery for days now come to find out the pharmacy hasnt even given the package to be delivered. stay away from here!!! read more

Walgreens - people shopping in a store - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Salinas, California

I don't understand why it takes days to get my pictures!! My old Walgreen's had it done in an hour. The people behind the counter are rude and act like working is an inconvenience. We went a few weeks back as well to get my 8×10 pictures, i held them in my hand when we were told to put them back because the store was in fear of riots. They couldn't close the store and ring up the only 3 people in there. I was so angry. To add insult to injury, they had to reprint photos because they lost them. Horrendously poor service. I'll be going back to my old store in San Jose, they have their act together and they are nice people to talk to. read more

I would give them zero stars, if i could. My aunt has to shop here for her meds as a result of an agreement with her employer. In the years I have been bringing her here to collect her prescriptions, I am always shocked by the poor standard of customer service shown in the pharmacy, specifically. Today they slammed the gate in her face for their lunch. read more

This Walgreens is horrid. The place is a mess, totally disorganized and it's disgusting. A true reflection on the manager they have on the pm shift. The worse part is they put discounted/sale items on the floor that they refuse to sell to me due to not being on "the system". Even after I offered full retail price, she refused! Are you kidding me?! Worst store manager ever, lack of social skills, rude, poorest customer service ever experienced, she should be ashamed of herself for running this location. Loss of business, loss of profits.. read more

I love how all the staff were wearing masks and the place overall looked very sanitary and I didn't check her name tag but she was working today (7/29) in the afternoon as cashier, and she was very friendly and rung up my things fast, costumer service 10/10 overall very good store. read more

This pharmacy is the ABSOLUTE WORST! Their "automated" system says your medicine will be ready at a certain time but it almost never is ready when the system says it will be. If there is any problem getting your prescription filled, like needing to contact the doctor for a reauthorization, the system just drops your request for your medication resulting in days of not having your medication while you try to get them to call your doctor. When I've complained about their system saying medication will be ready but it's not, I was told, "ya, a lot of people complain about our system being inaccurate." Also, if there's any problems, the staff does not offer any problem solving. It's up to you to figure out what the problem is. And it doesn't matter when you go, you will be waiting in line a minimum of 20 minutes, so bring a book! read more

If you are dropping off a prescription, the pharmacy opens at 9 on Saturdays. Also, don't go to the drop off window because they don't use it. You drop off and pick up at the pick up window. After already waiting an hour, I got to stand at the end of a long line just to drop off my prescription. read more

Lacks customer service, & poor time management. Came in to fill a prescription, tried to explain to the women at the desk that I needed to get some info regarding my prescription. What's the co-pay, what is covered by my insurance, basically generally info. Instead of helping or trying to listen she just went auto pilot & attempted to fill my script, absolutely disregarding any & all my concerns. This would be a negative star if possible, but since the next woman that attempted to help (answered my general inquiry) me decided that her lunch break was more important by stating, "we would have to call the MD... We are going on lunch... We won't be able to help you for another few hrs." The way it came of was, your going to take too much time to help that it will impede into my lunch hour. She didn't bother to offer to at least get the process started. Mind you I was already being "helped" for 10min prior the other woman attempted to "help" me. Sooo that whole time I wasted because the first woman obviously did not know what she was going. Approximate time wasted: 25min. Only gets to have the 1 star since 2nd woman did answer my Q's. read more

Already been in line at the pharmacy 15 minutes waiting to pick up meds. Thus Walgreens is slow compared to CVS. Store needs a remodel. Very old and dated compared to others in the area. read more

Walgreens - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Salinas, California

Considering this is primarily a pharmacy, expect to WAIT. Needlessly unorganized and chaotic; the pharmacist I personally dealt with I couldn't even understand what she was telling me. I did understand ONE part of her rambling which was, it will be five hours. Arriving at 10 AM with prescription in hand you'd expect kind and curious service, as they exclaim in their commercial: "On the corner of happy and healthy!". Well I wasn't feeling either. The pharmacy tech was rude and blunt, but you shouldn't expect that with the whole pharmacy staff. I gave another star for if you are here for anything else besides medication, you get kind and somewhat quick service. Also this pharmacy carries certain medications that are uncommon in most pharmacies, including other Walgreens. Avoid at all costs if you can, but if you have to come here... Be prepared for a horrible experience. read more

I love this walgreens they have great costumer service and their quick. They help you find the item you need real fast. I gave it a 3 starts because the only thing I don't like is that their bathrooms are dirty and there's only one restroom and they always take a long time to come and open the restroom. The past 3 weeks I went they said that their bathroom is out of service read more

Walgreens - They have lots of makeup - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Salinas, California

I'm usually hesitant to give 5 stars, but hey if the experience was great, I must be honest. I simply went to take a Passport Photo, and although it was pretty busy at the time, service was surprisingly fast and smooth. The individual attending me was quite kind and friendly. She didn't rush me nor seemed in a hurry to finish up and attend someone else (granted I was the only one in photo) . The pictures came out great and I walked out a very satisfied customer. No complaints. read more

The pharmacy staff here is very rude and incompetent. It is taking them 5 days to get my workers Comp medication sorted. The staff either lied to me or are just incompetent. Even the manager who I spoke to gave me either a lie or just hadn't done her job. I called to complain that another staff member pharmacist had stepped away from me and said they couldn't talk to me. She refused to call the number from my work. That was yesterday. Then today when I spoke with the manager she didn't know my perscription was already authorized. My work hR had to call her and then they told my work the medicine was covered and they had the info they needed so I could get it. I am still waiting to get my meds though since they only filled 1 so far. They told my work it would be ready in an hour so I called to check. Now the pharmacy is telling me another hour. Either they are short staffed or the staff is incompetent/ rude/ lazy. I will never be getting a prescription from Walgreens again. This was my first and only time. Don't bother going to this pharmacy. Their wait time seems to be always an hour I heard them say this to another customer as well. That is horrible! Way too long. Especially with how many people I saw there. It looked like enough staff but I could be wrong. read more

Where is the zero stars for customer service! Called looking for crutches, couldn't even tell me if they had them, they'd have to get a manager! What?? So their website says they have 6-9 pairs, nope! None in stock! Horrible everything! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. My family has used this pharmacy for many years. On 3/12/19 my mom pick up her medications she had a horrible experience with some one new in the pharmacy department. She didn't hear what he said and told her that he didn't like to repeat himself. She is a senior citizen sometimes she can't hear well. Her medicine keeps going up every time she refills it. We are switching pharmacies we keep experiencing bad visits to the pharmacy. read more

Always get my photos done here. The main photo lady is great. A lot of times when I new photos faster than one hour I will call in after placing order online and ask for it sooner. They always come through for me even during the busy holiday season when the big box stores are backed up for hours, if not days. I take one star off because sometimes they don't always have someone at the photo counter and sometimes I have to wait while a clerk pages someone to come help me when they could just come over and get the photos for me. The Walgreens in East Salinas, by the way.... they have a big selection of huge pinatas - way better selection than Party City! read more

This is continuously the worst Walgreens Pharmacy I've ever been to. If you submit a refill on the app they always screw the quantity up. From here they'll tell you it's ready when it isn't. Furthermore they never answer their phone and constantly hang up. The worst part is they grill you about your medication every time. I mean come on, if someone is prescribed recurring medication that's refilled from their system there's no need for this game. Every other Walgreens I've been to doesn't do this. Corporate needs to get involved and go over training on what's acceptable business practices especially since this is a chain and all the stores should operate the same. read more

This pharmacy is literally the best. I know the lines are definitely long, but the customer service you get is well worth it. They are extremely knowledgeable and nice!! LOVE being able to manage my precriptions (and family members') right from the app! Its extrememly convenient!! I can do a refill and even check statuses on them being filled (processing, being filled, etc). There is no guessing game with this app, its a timesaver!! If i could give 10 stars i would!! read more

This location is great all employees speak Spanish and are very helpful. Pharmacy team is awesome

Would you believe the manager deleted my photo account out of spite?! I've been a regular customer for over 10 years with a good rapport with the staff. New manager--problem! Then she deleted my account. Customer service heard about it, too. read more

Have been trying to refill my prescriptions for a week with no results. Long wait times and it is becoming frustrating and a threat to my health. I have been using walgreens for many years and am new to this store. I have had no problems with any other locations. They are Incompetent ... Today I talked with my clinic as well as MediCal , and it was determined that the pharmacy was at fault. I filed formal complaints with MediCal and Walgreens corporate offices. All I wanted was my medication but all I received from this store was a run around and finger pointing blaming my clinic. BEWARE THIS PLACE CAN BE A THREAT TO YOUR HEALTH ! I have also taken my business to Allcare pharmacy . Be Well , yeah right !!! read more

Bad service and trying to get a hold of pharmacy been on hold for about 20 min listening to the Boeing music then it rings for about 2 min then they answer and hang up ! read more

When I first started coming here for the pharmacy it was honestly horrible. But they have made a lot of improvements so I am giving a 3-star review. Still could be better. They also make a good effort to double-check against prescription drug abuse which has plagued our community. Although it can be a hassle for those who legitimately need those medications and causes them some backlash, it is also appreciated. The pharmacy staff just needs to be respectful and non-accusatory as they have been rude about this in the past. read more

This if for the pharmacy. They always have long lines. They call or text you to cal in an no one can tell you why? Most importantly are their minimum hours. Sundays they're only open for a small amount of time and they STILL shut down for an hour so you have to stand in an even longer line after 1:30 on a Sunday because they also close early. No one answers the phone to even tell you they are closed. If you do call during open hours, you are holding for over 10 or more minutes, Thinking I may start going to Target for my prescriptions read more

Didn't get anything here, but the store was greatly stocked and has a lot. Glad to know we'll soon have one in Hollister.

I can not disagree more with the previous review left for the photo area. I am a regular customer and have had nothing but positive experiences, especially after their management change! Service is so good now, the guys are are always friendly and quick! read more

They are so slow here. They poorly expedite being quick or efficient. 20 minutes means 1 hour and if you come 40 minutes to close, good luck! They focus on restocking and putting things away rather than going through the lines of people that have been waiting for hours. Some of the employees are nice but otherwise, DO NOT expect quick service but do expect excuses. read more
