I will never as long as I live, patronize Walgreens Altoona Pa. I went in for a simple covid booster shot. After approaching employee Lisa R, at the pharmacy, she had a attitude. You never get a second chance at a first impression. I was handed the necessary paper to fill out. Returned it, than I sat over 45 minutes for a shot that takes 3 seconds. By the time the pharmacist was ready to give me the shot, I was so disgusted, I just wanted my card back, without the shot. Upset and on my way out, I voiced my displeasure to her. Not only did I waste my time, I wasted my gas. Never again Walgreens.

Love this place! Staff is always helpful and friendly, store is always impeccable clean and great varieties to choose from. Has a rewards program that give you excellent savings deals and discounts! Just wish the pharmacy was open on Sundays...

I didn’t catch her name but the lady that was checking us out was rude. We were looking for something and decided to ask the lady if they had any in the back and she said no (without looking) even though the lady in front of us came out of the back with a bag full of the things we wanted and the cashier and the other lady were being secretive about it. You could clearly see through the bag. Thanks for lying straight to our faces :) If I could give this store no stars, I would.

I typically use another pharmacy, but my doctor suggested I use Walgreens in Altoona for a specific prescription. They called me about how my insurance did not cover it. A staff member left a message that I could hardly understand. The message was choppy and unclear. I called back shortly after and the women I spoke to was incredibly rude and condescending when I asked questions. I will never use this pharmacy again.

Usually I am very happy with the photos that I order, but today on August 13th 2019 whoever is working there is doing an awful job. I printed off photos from our wedding and made multiple prints of the same photo, some of them are blurry, some of them are blue tinted and some of them are fine. the same photo is printed inconsistently. Also, when ordering 8 by 10 photos they were rotated and zoomed in vertically so far that it made my professional photos look blurry. Waste of time and money, I wouldn't suggest getting photo prints here.

All they care about is COVID shots. They don't really work with you too get a regular flu shot. They don't post anywhere that this location is by appointment only for all vaccines not just COVID. I will pay for a flu vaccine for the military because they wouldn't even help me get an appointment.

Pharmacist is rude, thinks he knows more than a doctor. Accuses people of going to other pharmacies, um isn't there a computer system that would tell you that? I pay cash i have no insurance he decided to give me junk instead of what the dr ordered. He also made the comment to me "oh you never get suck huh?" Um actually no i dont! This is the first time in 16 years i had to go to a pharmacy. Very rude for being the boss. Also lost walgreens customers by doing this, 3 people abd mysrlf will never go there again...unless he is fired! The ladies working the pharmacy were nice and have better customer service than their biss!

I have never had a good experience with this location since moving from TN 6 months ago. Staff is rude and prescriptions are never ready as promised or they try to tell you the insurance didn't cover anything it covered before...Then yesterday it amazed me that a pharmacy tech was being allowed to use CHEESE CLOTH as her required face mask. I could see her mouth the entire time she was talking...are you kidding me!

I went to walgreens with one giant onion, graffiti, hagrid, mr. madison, coach fred, and my dog. We had the best experience ever, this may be the most legendary and groundbreaking spot ever to exist. WE SAPPED ON KOFFEE LIKE WOK YA DEEG.

Dan the pharmacist was so arrogant and talked down to me on multiple occasions. Worst pharmacist ever. Gary on the other hand was great. Dan would not help me but Gary was more than welcome. Also apparently Dan never heard of hipaa, he soon will though.

Always clean when I visit. Everyone is always nice and courteous. I always get asked if I'm finding everything ok which is great especially for quick trips and I'm not sure where something is located.

Worst shopping experience ever! Horrible horrible horrible customer service!!! Manager was telling employees to not help customers finding items while a customer was right beside them!!! “LET THEM DO THEIR OWN SHOPPING” Absolutely worst walgreen in the USA !!!!

Transferred script into them because they had the kind I liked.... only to drive1 hr to pick it up and get there... they cant do what they just told me on the phone... the pharmacist was rude, cut me off and kept telling me no one told you that even though he admits he wasnt there.... also kept saying grow up when asking about the medication, muttering under his breath cussing me. They then told me I was stuck with them because I could not transfer out of Walgreens!!!Then on top of everything else, they refuse to accept my Blue Cross,/ Blue shield highmark insurance resulting in my total being almost 300.00 instead of the 20 copay, and said oh well, more bad news ( with a smirk)... DO NOT GO THERE, DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY THERE, SEND IT TO A LOCAL PHARMACY OR CVS, RITE AID, ONE OF THOSE, AAAANYONEEE BUT WALGREENS!!!!

The pharmacy staff is the best in town. I've never had a bad experience there and the people who work in the pharmacy go above and beyond.

I gave it 4 stars bc i asked what kinds of flavors of revo lip balms they had and she said they do not carry them when Walgreens carries revos but I wondered what flavors they had. 😃

To the woman with short hair who works in the pharmacy. She’s incredibly rude and needs an attitude check before she interacts with customers.

If you need something on the low, this place hooks it up. Toys. Drugs. Food.
