Walgreens

I am from Chicago and visiting for a month 2 doors away from this Walgreens.
The Customer Service here is AWFUL!!!
The Cashiers are consistently rude to you.
Hope you don’t get the Woman who is a cashier there from the Philippines because every time I Had to go there and she is usually working she is Always Yelling at the customers in line to make 2 lines?! The area is small and it’s a challenge to do so. She barks like she is Herding cattle. It’s so disrespectful.
People have walked out due to the rudeness and the talking back to customers, They treat you like they are doing you a favor especially if you ask for help.
And the wait to ring out is always always Slowwww…
The District Manager needs to spend more time in this Walgreens because it’s a Huge Disappointment!
I am a life long Walgreens Client.

Kristen was awesome. With nobody available in the photo dept. She jumped in to help me get my passport photos corrected and printed fast so I could submit before dally center closed

This walgreens clearly hasn’t cleaned up its act over the years, judging from all the other terrible reviews. Every time I’ve stopped in at this location (which has only been a handful, on account of convenience) I’m always reminded of why CVS is better. At least they have their shit together.

Hands down, greatest hot chocolate I’ve ever had in my life. You may think that I’m making a mistake and reviewing the wrong business, but NO. Listen to me. This Walgreens has bomb hot cocoa.
Everything else is your standard Walgreens. Employees didn’t ask if we needed help, but they usually don’t. Like others said, if you know what you want and know where it is– you’ll be fine. But make sure to head back to the section where they have fresh food and drinks. Their hot cocoa is soo freaking chocolatey. I’m making this my new stop before heading back to the train station when I’m in the area.

This is the worst walgreens ever. The store clerks are just so incompetent and happen to just sit their asses without knowing anything. Let alone helping with anything ‘complicated’ as getting a. Passport photo, these people can’t even follow instructions. Both me and my husband had different situations and the amount of incompetences in different clerks just baffle me.
I had to just pick up my repeating order of pills and even that they made it a big trouble for me. And one of the store clerks. Voided a transaction even though specifically asked not to. This has become a big problem since I was trying to finish my fsa funds that we’re expiring. Now we lose money because these people just void transactions like it’s their business and money.
DO NOT GO INTO THIS STORE. They are a bunch of incompetent losers.

Walgreens at 30 N. Michigan Avenue is no better worse than any other Walgreens.
If you know what you are looking for, you are fine. Don’t expect staff members to go out of their way to assist you.
The morning cashier is just like robot. She doesn’t have a personality — just miserable doing her job.
I wish there was a CVS closer to my job.

No longer the closest food source with Marianos and Target nearby. Also the Walgreens on State and Randolph is 10 times better without the tourists. I always have a panhandler approach me outside this one. Still… since I live right nearby it is a quick grab after the gym.

One word-​GHETTO! More like a run down mini mart than a Walgreens, and slow slow slow lines. And the carton of grapes I bought had a COCKROACH in them, which I luckily discovered before eating any. Go a few blocks west to the stores on State, which are night and day to this armpit of a store.

Bought some Arizona Iced Teas for $ 0.99 each. But, since it’s Cook County, we spent 12 cents in tax.

I’ve only used this Walgreens twice. It is right next to the Chicago Cultural Center, which houses the Instagreeter and Chicago Greeter programs (see my separate reviews for those excellent tours). The greeter programs give you free tours around the city by native Chicago volunteers by foot and by public transportation.
This Walgreens has come in handy in purchasing CTA one-​day passes, which they sell in the photo department. Stop in here a few minutes before taking your tour if you need the one-​day pass, as the automated machines at Union Station only sell you 3-​day, 7-​day and re-​loadable passes.

Its clear one of the biggest factors in a business’s success is location when walking inside this overcrowded and poorly maintained store at Michigan and Washington. Walk 2.5 blocks west on Washington to find a cleaner, better stocked, and less congested Walgreens that was recently renovated.

Usually I wouldn’t review a Walgreens, but I can’t believe how poorly run this Walgreens is. I feel so terrible for the employees in this place, that this is really a plea to the powers that be to get more help for them!!!
I stopped here last weekend, along with every other Chicagoan and tourist in the City, to get something to drink. There is absolutely no other convenience store in the near vicinity, which is why people will wait an insane amount of time while TWO employees wait on a line of hundreds of customers! Ok, I’m exaggerating, but not by much.
I want to say KUDOS to the two poor overworked employees who just kept at the line, and SHAME ON YOU to the management who needs to get some more workers here! I’ve been here many times and it is always the same situation. This store is across the street from Millenium Park, one of Chicago’s hottest attractions!!!
The setup needs to be redone, stocking is always atrocious (because the stock is flying off the shelves on a hot day), and customers are cussing and walking out upon entering the store because of the horrendous lines. If money is the motivation, (its obviously not the comfort of the staff), those customers that have walked out are dollars lost.
Please consider assessing and revamping this store and hiring more personnel!

If I could give less than a single star I absolutely would, based completed off of an experience with one employee who got visibly upset with me because I reminded her than a can of tomato soup was on sale.
After reminding her of the sale, she told me to go and get the sale tag, rip if off, and show it to her. Which I did, and when I presented it to her she snatched it out of my hand and began mumbling in whatever language she spoke. I am not intentionally trying to sound ignorant, as I have no idea which language she was speaking, but I am simply trying to reflect the ignorance with which I was treated.
It took just about every thread in me to not snap at this woman, but since there was a significant line behind me, I decided to write a mean Unilocal review… that’ll show her…

This is a very disappointing Walgreens. It’s smaller than the normal ones and sometimes I can’t find what I need.
For example, I really wanted to bake brownies but they don’t sell baked goods!!! They only had those microwavable brownie bowls, I mean I don’t want that!!! I have no idea why they don’t sell baked stuff. Made me very sad.
Also, they don’t have a hardware section so they don’t things like duct tape. I really needed that for my car but alas, the associate told me they didn’t sell any. Sigh.
The location is convenient because it’s across from the Chicago Cultural Center and Millenium Park. Their hours are pretty good– but I don’t like to come here often.
