It’s a convenient Walgreens on Lamar just south of Airport Blvd. It is on a corner so there is a traffic light to make it easier to get back on Lamar northbound. That area gets very congested at the normal traffic times, so that’s a plus. I like their gift card section and it has bailed me out on a few occasions when I need a card in a hurry. The candy section is also good, I always get some cherry sours and gummy bear. If you have the Walgreens app, they put some good discounts on there on occasion. I haven’t used the pharmacy or photo services(there are still cameras and film? ;). I haven’t had a bad experience with the staff, nor an exceptionally great one, just a normal customer experience. There is a red box outside, so that’s a plus.

The Redbox outside is my favorite however, the movies I want are always out… grrr! They have a good selection of refrigerated food items so, that I don’t have to venture to HEB every time I need something. Great wine and beer selection and they sell the to go Quaker Oats Oatmeal cups that I can’t find anywhere else. Of course you pay a little more for items here but, some days it’s worth it. The lines are always moving fast and they are always open to letting me buy a roll of quarters from them to do my laundry. The staff members remember there customers or maybe I am just there too much however, it’s nice to have a friendly face asking you how you are and what’s new. I haven’t used the pharmacy or the photo department so, I can’t comment on that. They have good sales on VOSS water often, 4 for $ 5 and other items that I like to buy! Plus, I enjoy their loyalty points card because you can cash them in for money off your bill!

Stopped by here yesterday for passport photos. It took a while for them to come over to the photo counter and help me – and the photos took longer than I expected to get printed. On a positive note, one of the better greeting card selections I’ve seen in a while.

Prices are a little higher than going to HEB but the convenience worth it. Best kept secret is that I can send them my digital photos and get prints. I know prints? Yes, prints are extra special now that most people don’t get them. I also get my yearly flu shot here and get some basic medications. I even started using the iphone passbook that has the walreens rewards thing in it. I guess I am a fan.

It’s a Walgreens, so it’s A-OK. This one is not 24 hours. They do have beer and wine. The employees I’ve met have all been nice, though they seem a bit tired(I’m usually there near closing). The upselling at the register is irritating, but not their fault. They have the most amazingly cheap cigarettes, though, and I will make a detour to buy them here. No, I’m not going to tell you how cheap, because I don’t want to jinx it. Just trust me. I spent a little while wondering why, of all places, a pharmacy would sell cigarettes so cheap. Then it occurred to me that that means they can sell more cough medicine and throat lozenges.

I must say that there’s very very few other places(including other Walgreens) that you’ll get better service as far as their pharmacy goes. Beyond that, I feel it’s your typical Walgreens.

This is great if you’re sitting in your apartment alone on a Friday night and craving some sugar and you are too lazy to drive to HEB but just alive enough for a four minute walk. It is like any and every Walgreens you’ve ever been to in your entire life. The prices are adequate– actually, their prices on Blue Bell tend to be cheaper than HEB. The employees, a Carrie C. mentioned, can sometimes be surly– I like those two guys, they’re funny. One of the other ones may be mildly autistic, I’m not sure. Here’s a beef, though– the manager makes them upsell their featured products at the register, which means that even if I go there every single day to buy a soda or a candy bar they have to close out asking me if, for example, I’d like to buy some Diet Snapple mix-in packs. Or batteries. Or remaindered Reese’s Cups. Okay, I did take them up on the Reese’s Cups… but I’m just saying, it’s embarrassing for them.

It’s astounding how much merchandise they can cram into a Walgreens nowadays. Film and paper and hairspray and toasters and marshmallow burgers and oxyclean and cat litter and potting soil and flashlights and always the Seasonal aisle. I used to come here what seemed like 5 times a day to pick up something or wander the aisles. I enjoyed talking to the surly counterpeople, two in particular, that I can’t name because they might get fired for being so surly. Those guys are a hoot! Nice folks here in general. –1 star because they’re open 365 days a year which disturbs me. I should also take off a star for how Walgreens wants to take over the world in their attempt to pwn CVS but then again, they do have a nice selection of damn near everything in there so it’s a draw.
