Walgreens

«Convenience and drug store». Yes, convenience means higher prices, customer service that is pretty hit or miss and fairly well-​stocked shelves. Being all-​too-​familiar with how these type of convenience stores work, I came in here only needing a couple things. Don’t have the time to deal with roaming a large store or standing in long lines, then yes come here for some of your simple needs, but not to shop for your entire household. Each time I enter this store, I usually spend no more than 10 – 15 mins there because I usually need to be in and out quickly. Most of the time, they have what I am looking for, will find it on sale and won’t have to stand in line to purchase it, which is a win for me. Customer service is also something I find mediocre — they are happy to greet you at the door, but when it comes to ringing up items that is when some of their true colors come out. Some have been snappy here, especially the one I encountered today. The funny part was, she asked me to take a survey at the conclusion of my purchase. Anyway, I think Walgreens is a great store, I only visit it when I am in dire need of picking something up quickly.

I can’t give them higher than three because I think the pharmacy is very dysfunctional. Nothing of mine is ever ready on time and sometimes they don’t even notify me that they won’t fill my prescription. Seriously?! The drive thru takes forever as well. I mean, FOREVER! The photo department has lost some of my orders as well and their print it yourself machines take forever and don’t always work. But, the people behind the photo counter are always super nice and helpful. When they lost one of my orders, it was given to me for free. The rest of the employees are nice as well. Make sure you get their balance rewards card because you will end up racking up enough points and getting a discount eventually.
