Walgreens

This is one of the nice-​looking new Walgreens, but the pharmacists here seem like they couldn’t care less about the people they serve. By and large they treat customers like anonymous problems they need to quickly get past, rather than people in need of informed healthcare professionals.
I’ve been here many times to pick up prescriptions but I’ve never had a pharmacist here offer any information about the medicine he or she was handing to me, other than to say something like, You have any questions? In fact, a number of times I’ve had to ask for clarification about my medication, while they just stare numbly at me and then give a terse answer, despite the fact that there are rarely long lines. Is being a pharmacist here really that unpleasant?

Love that there’s a Walgreens right down the street from us, but the pharmacy hours kinda blow. Why have the pharmacy close hours before the rest of the store?

The manager Diane was super helpful and very neighborhood oriented. I really appreciated her help and friendliness.

This Walgreens is arguably my favorite in the city due to the warm spirited greeting I always get as I walk in the front door as well as the waiting time, or lack thereof at the pharmacy. Every time I visit I am in and out in a timely fashion and leave satisfied. I would recommend this location over other nearby locations in the city.

The Clark/​Catalpa store (known locally as The IC-​3 Store) is a hit or miss. If you’re lucky you are there when the good staff is working, they couldn’t be friendlier or more helpful. If you hear the IC-​3 page over and over while you are shopping just leave your items where you are and walk out. It means the lazy staff is on duty and can’t be bothered.

I have recently had a problem with the pharmacy. I have a broken arm, my Dr. wrote a RX for tylenol with codeine. I understand it is a controlled substance… but, Last refill I was told that they only have generic not the brand name. No problem, they called around to other stores and located the drugs. They said they couldn’t just transfer the drugs to Clark st. That i had to go to the other store. We had to drive to that store, wait, finally got the RX. I just went to Clark for another refill. Same story, I really don’t understand why they can’t just get the drug in stock. I was told to tell my Dr. to re-​write the RX. Really.
I am the one with the broken arm. I need to get a ride each time and now have to be present since they now want my drivers license to process my RX.
Not good customer service!

This is about pharmacy only. I came to pick up prescribed eye drops for my 2 year old. Lady working there (big bones, brown hair) started giving me instructions how to apply ointment. It’s tragically funny that somebody who works in pharmacy doesn’t know the difference between eye drops and ointment. Older guy looked at prescription and corrected her. She told me to sit down and wait a couple of minutes. 25 minutes later I got the message that my meds are ready for the pick up. I asked them and they tell me to wait more. 30 min after the big bone lady comes out to register again. I told her that I’m still waiting and that I got the message my meds are ready. She tells me to stand in line. After all my waiting for pick up only!
When I told her that I have sick child at home and that she should have told me it will take a long time, so I can do something else instead of sitting there, she ignored me.
The guy with strange mustaches that works there apologized to me, but the big bone was totally not interested. She couldn’t care less.
I really think she should be fired. She had no knowledge, no interest for her job and was totally unprofessional. Maybe on her next job she will care more. Fire her.

I think we’ve all been to a lot of Walgreen’s and the like over the course of our lives. This one has been consistently great, but yesterday pushed it over the top. A cashier went completely out of her way to find me a coupon and give me a discount, and it showed me that she knows the products, what coupons are currently available, and she actually wants to help people out and save money. Way above and beyond. In the past, I’ve gotten a flu shot here as well and that was a quick, painless, smooth, and sanitary process. Chain stores do vary based on management and personnel, and if you need a local pharmacy and necessities store, this is a great one to choose.

This is a great, very friendly Walgreens! I was extremely appreciative of the pharmacy staff who were thorough and helpful in helping me with my prescriptions and talked to me anytime something came up. The store is very organized and clean as well with a variety of sections. Great place!

I was contemplating writing this review but decided there were definitely
a few things worth mentioning here regarding this store/​location.
So, here goes!
This is actually one of the nicer Walgreens I have seen, now granted they
are one of the newer stores and they still look/​play that part which is definitely
a good thing, this is a well stocked store with prepared food items that
you can just pick up to go, fresh fruits, salads, sandwiches, and other
assorted items.
The aisles are merchandised well, although the layout of the store kind of
confuses me sometimes for some of the aisles run North and South, and then
East and West and I was looking for Softsoap yesterday and finally found
it on the back wall, but, hey, I was just happy I found it!
Okay, also just had to say if Hostess ever decides to go out of business
again you can come to this Walgreens and get your very own Hostess
Twinkie and Cupcake Makers, yes, this is true, I found these at Walgreens
yesterday for the price of $ 19.99!
God, I hope it never comes down to having to make my own Twinkies
when I get the urge but I guess this is good to know!
Really, this is a great Walgreens, and I don’t mind upon entering being
told Welcome to Walgreens at all.
However, yesterday I did get a little irked when the cashier/​associate told me
to stay/​be well upon leaving because I have a cold right now and I guess
I’m just being crabby.
Anyway, FYI, Good Sales, always make sure to check out the Walgreens Ad.
although those darn points seem to take forever before they add up.
Free parking lot at the door, and a Redbox that usually has a better
selection of movies/​choices than the Jewel across the street.
So, 4 stars goes out to this Walgreens.
And, I think I will put that Twinkie Maker on my Christmas Wish List…

Thank you Walgreens! This location is huge, it has everything expected and it’s very well organized. Everything is easy to find and I love the fresh sandwiches and salads.
The best part is I never have walk into that disgusting Jewel ever again. You have filled the need for the neighborhood! For that, I am eternally grateful!

I love this store! It’s clean, big, and carries things I never knew I would need. Cute jewelry for 2.99!
A big reason for my review was how friendly the staff is. I have never had such a pleasant time at a Walgreens. I hope it never changes. As long as its like this I will make it my home store!

This Walgreens was a big deal when it opened in Andersonville! I didn’t really think I’d like it, but so far it has been there when I’ve been in the area and need a quick stop for a soda, some trash bags, or some Rips candy. Their parking lot is huge and feels like a real treat for any establishment on Clark St. The employees are friendly, and things are well stocked. They also have a modernized pharmacy section with big screen televisions, chairs where you can wait for prescriptions, and magazines to read! The lines can get long quickly at the front registers, but they’re pretty good about getting people out of there in a timely manner.

This is the cleanest Walgreens I have ever been in. Even the little sale signs are all individually straightened. It’s like they are ready to film a commercial in there at any moment. On my first trip I even asked if they had just opened– nope. Over a year ago.
The pharmacy is amazing. The people who work there always are friendly, and almost talk me into a discussion with the pharmacist just to make sure I am comfortable with my medications.
If you are shopping for something in the toiletries/​cosmetics area, a cosmetics specialist will find you, and make sure that you do not require any additional help.
I have seen a woman in the store that likes the grocery section so much that she has a hard time carrying all of her grocery bags by herself when she leaves. Pretty amazing considering the Walgreens is ACROSS FROM JEWEL.
If you are looking for someone to hold your hand or curtsy when you present yourself maybe not for you. [other reviewers] For a convenience store it really owns all.

I heart my neighborhood Walgreens. The store is always clean, great sales, and the workers are both friendly and available to answer any questions.

I went to pick up my prescription before work today and despite the store opening at 8am the pharmacy was not. I waited 5 minutes but had to get to work on time. You’d think the staff would get there prior to opening!

This is one of the nicest Walgreens stores I have ever been in. It is large, well organized, and clean. The location is good in a busy part of Andersonville, and I’ve always been reasonably impressed by customer service. Not that I would go out of my way to go here rather than another pharmacy, but I do enjoy this store when I’m in the neighborhood.

Love this Walgreens. Its brand new, well stocked, super clean and the people are super nice– especially in photo!

Ouch. Harsh reviews for this Walgreens…
It’s a Walgreens. It’s like every other Walgreens I’ve been to. The store was clean and organized. Nice wrapping paper selection.
I bought some wrapping paper, paid for it and left. I didn’t have to wait long in line.
Other than that, no out of the ordinary experiences here.

This is a combined review for the Pharmacy section and the store section.
First of all, the store looked wonderful (but, it’s new, so no surprise there) but the staff was horrible. We walked in, happy to have a Walgreens closer and excited about the opening. I never expect much from drug store employees; it’s tedious work and I always see them dealing with jerk customers, so, we just stick to ourselves. However, we got shunted aside by some employee who apparently desperately needed to fill the fridges with two energy drinks. No excuse me, no nothing.
When we went to pay for our items, there was a line and only one clerk. When the other appeared he just stood there for about two minutes, not saying anything. He jerked his head towards us, like we were some sort of 1950s lackey, and I guess that meant he had been waiting for us to step over. Uh, what? How was I supposed to know your register was open? You were just standing there, staring straight ahead like a zombie, dude.
The Pharmacy was even worse. We were helped by this female pharmacist named Aidelyn (I’m sure I’m arranging the letters wrong, but her name was either this or something quite similar), who was incredibly rude, lazy, and generally unhelpful. She was unnecessarily sharp, couldn’t be bothered to check with other male pharmacist about our medication, and didn’t even give us the medicine she said she was giving us. We called an hour earlier, trying to switch our prescription, and talked to a male pharmacist, who said all of them would be switched. They weren’t. When we came in and mentioned this, she claimed that she had no idea who we talked to (uh, there’s only you and one other guy, lady… soooooo e_​O) and acted like it was a big pain in her ass to try and fill them.
Honey, if you don’t like your job or DOING your job, I suggest you get another one.
