Walgreens

Dealing with the pharmacy department at different stores in the past often caused unnecessary stress at a time of illness. On the flip-​side, I also have noticed customers giving the pharmacy staff a hard time just because they are having a bad day. Two wrongs don’t make a right! Well, I am so excited to say I have had an amazing experience with Bambi, my Pharmacist at Walgreens on Corporate. She has gone above and beyond for me to get the medicine I needed. She has a warm demeanor and serves as a great example of high integrity and customer service. She needs to be acknowledged for her amazing work ethic and setting a high standard for others to follow!!!

This is for the pharmacy only. MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL ONE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO! I’m so glad I changed pharmacies. It was stressful and aggravating every time I had to deal with them. They never had what I wanted in stock and wouldn’t even inform me of it. They called and emailed me and told me I had prescriptions ready when I wasn’t even using them anymore. They would take forever in the drive thru also. I could go on and on. Avoid this place. Go support a local pharmacy like Bolton’s.

Miserable store — common scenario these days — numerous employees and very few customers yet it took upwards of 30 minutes to get two passport pictures and a bottle of Ibuprofen. One employee stood around for 10 minutes taping two boxes together before she got around to asking if the customer standing there had been helped — can’t fix stupid but I can make certain I never go back.

«Convenience store and pharmacy». This is not always my go-​to store, but the times I have been, I have always been able to find what I need with much ease. Today, I had to get a prescription filled for my daughter. Unfortunately, the doctor’s office had sent the prescription in to the wrong pharmacy, but as soon as Walgreens found out about it, they were super pro-​active about it and the situation was quickly amended. Once the problem was resolved, the prescription was filled within 10 minutes. Fortunately, I was there during a non-​peak time, so that helped with everything, too. I really like how these convenience stores are now so well organized with perfectly labeled aisles, which made it easier to find what we needed. This is a convenience store, so certain things could be priced higher than some of the big box stores in town. The customer service level is definitely stellar, so you pay a bit more for these type of stores. Employees here were always more than willing to help and I was able to tell that they wanted us to have a pleasant shopping experience. This store is located on the corner of Jefferson and Corporate, equipped with ample parking and well-​lit on the inside. I definitely got everything I needed before leaving the store.

Wal-​greens is similar to most other drug stores: they fill prescriptions while you peruse the aisles of their store.
They carry a handful of groceries and snacks. They make last minute shopping easy (grabbing wine for a dinner party or a box of Kleenex and cough drops for a sick friend). They have a seasonal section cluttered with holiday-​specific decorations and items. They sell toiletries and health and beauty aid products — make up, over the counter medications, hygiene products, etc.
Wal-​greens has a variety of items but they’re pricey. If you’re suffering from a cold but don’t want to be around a crowd of people or maybe afraid to run into a co-​worker or friend without your make up on then Wal-​greens is for you. I rarely find a bargain here. I am usually dragged in here by a friend who doesn’t care or is unaware that they can get a better deal elsewhere.
I signed up for their savings card so that I could take advantage of the sale prices advertised around the store but it’s usually for candy.
I think the best thing I’ve ever purchased at a Wal-​greens was the leg lamp from A Christmas Story that was marked down to $ 8.
Wal-​greens is convenient for a last minute item. I usually approach this establishment for their Redbox.
