Walgreens

Pretty much everything said here by others is true, which is probably why they are building a new one across the street. I’m guessing the omnipresent panhandlers will just migrate there too though, since the halfway house isn’t too far away from this intersection.

It pains me to write this as Walgreens has always been there for me in a pinch. The door particular location, however, seems to be portal into some hellish bizzaro world. The woman at the photo counter took her time walking up to the front (I swear glaciers have shifted faster). When she got there she couldn’t have been more combative if she tried. The photos I was there to pick up were shot by a professional photographer (I know, my bad for having pro photos printed at a Walgreens but I was in a hurry and Walgreens-​as I said before-​usually comes through for me) and I had the files on me to prove it. This wasn’t good enough for the woman dutifully tending the counter. She began telling me about Walgreens revised photo policy (mind you this is after I’d order online with no mention of this new photo policy). I would need a signed release from the photographer or the photographer himself to be there in the flesh to sing their in-​store release. After some polite pleading and explaining that no one in their right mind would carry a DVD with that many photos around with them just for giggles, I sighed and left the store. I know the loss of my sale will not put a dent in Walgreens profit margins and I know the woman behind the counter will do marvelously in her future career at the DMV in hell. I just hope that this prevents anyone else from having to go through this in the future. As for me, I’ve learned my lesson and will use professional printers… or in a pinch go to the Walgreens just up the street. They seem much friendlier there.

Terrible store! Went in to buy beer and several other items at 6:00 pm and as the cashier rang up items, the register would not accept the beer because it was being purchased outside of allowable hours. I spoke to the manager and he explained there was a glitch in the system and the programmers were working on it. Seriously??? The manager could not override? It’s that attitude that makes it a store I will not shop at. Also, aisles crowded with boxes of stock and just an unkempt and unorganized look about it. New CVS opening at Century across the street. Bye Bye Walgreens!

Customer service here sucks. The people are slow and the cashiers up front always seem to have an attitude. They are a bunch of liars who don’t properly honor their coupon policies. I hope this location closes if Walmart comes into the neighborhood.

Walgreen’s is like an old friend. It shows up when you least expect it and when you really need it. That’s how I feel about Walgreens.
When I was living downtown, Walgreens was like a best friend. No matter what it was that I seemed to need, they always had it. And when it was darn cold out and I didn’t feel like going to the grocer, I could just run into Walgreens and voila! Done. That’s awesome.
And their prices are very competitive. Sometimes I find grocery items on sale that far rival other stores. So now I check the ads weekly and stock up on some stuff.
This store was a welcome site the other day. My dogs were barking (i.e., feet hurting) — so I ran in to get some gel inserts which were really soothing. See? Like I said. Like a really good friend, who takes care of you — and doesn’t expect an arm and a leg back for it.
Love you Walgreen’s!

It’s Walgreens. What do you want, a doorman and personal shopper? Crazy people.
Anyway, this Walgreen’s serves it’s purpose, it has stuff you need at any time and it has a pharmacy… cool.
My 2 suggestions: Put something near the pharmacy line for people to look at. I’m an impulse buyer and while waiting in line the only things I had to look at were foot products… not exactly an impulse buyer’s dream. My other suggestion would be to not put the «birds and the bees» products under lock and key (I noticed this while waiting in line as well)…who is going to press the service button for those products?! Can we please be more mindful that guys are already weird about buying such products, let’s not make it worse… we don’t need anymore «mistakes.» Haven’t you ever watched 16 and pregnant!!! Scary.

I was to lazy to walk to the CVS Pharmacy, so I had stopped into the Walgreen on Broadway & Diversey. This store is not one of the greatest Walgreens around.
This «remodeled» store is run down. The floor and shelves are dirty. The employees could use a class on customer service.
Also, not crazy about the pan handlers that are outside of the door.
That’s what I get for being lazy.

When you need Pepto, Tylenol and mouthwash at 11:30 pm and you barely feel like moving, let’s see how many stars Walgreens gets then? Oh, Walgreens, no one understands you like I do…

I only go here because it’s the closest store to my house for walgreeny type of things. If I’m feeling a little more adventurous, I would walk the extra five minutes to CVS.
There ARE always people begging for money when you walk in and out. I know, it’s not Walgreens fault, but it still sucks for a customer.
They do NOT advertise their specials from the flyer in the store. Why? I don’t know, but it is sooo annoying. And they run out of all the specials they have posted in those flyers. They don’t have back-​up. Don’t even ask.
I have always had to wait in line for quite a while, no matter what time of day it is.
Oh well. I guess it serves it’s purpose, for the most part.

Great if you want to run in and grab a pop or water … but that’s it. If you want more I suggest the walgreens at Broadway and Belmont or Clark and Briar.

This is absolutely my favorite Walgreen’s in the city. The last time I was there, they had a 2 for 1 special on euthanasia for stupid faced cats!

I don’t get it. This place was closed for remodeling and I see no difference. What’d they change the linoleum?
I don’t get their prices either. 40 cents cheaper to get a bottle of cold Evian than to get the same size from the shelf.
Lame…but it’s a Walgreens so it’s serves it’s purpose… I guess.

I’ve always gotten good service at this store. But they always seem to be out of stuff, if you want something specific, walk 5 minutes E on Diversey to the other Walgreens.
What bugs me most when I go here is the panhandler outside. Regardless of the time you go, there is someone always begging for money outside the store. The city of Chicago should make panhandling illegal, like it is in a lot of other states. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for helping people, increasing the minimum wage etc, but I just don’t want to feel guilty because I can afford a loaf of bread. This is America, we have choices, we should have better programs to help people instead of have them beg on the street.

Convenient location and sometimes has what you’re looking for or what’s in the circular — however, most of the time, things run out here and there’s usually a long wait in line before you can pay for your selections.
