Walgreens

Only go here for prescriptions really, its a half mile from my house. It always takes longer than I expect but the people are nice and they always treat me well. Its great mostly because of the convenience of being open all day and all night, its a great place except for some of the rude customers you may encounter. Check it out for yourselves, I definitely won’t stop going there.

I really like this Walgreens.
Stopped in to fill a prescription, was assisted quickly by Lina and Ho, who had everything ready in about 15 minutes.
(15 minutes was just enough time for me to decide I needed another $ 50.00 worth of OTC meds and vitamins/​supplements.)
The store was clean, I was offered assistance and any line it was in was handled efficiently and with a smile.
So why 4 stars? Human error. My script wasn’t included in the bag when I left– but I was promptly notified and it was ready and waiting when I returned to collect.
Great job all around– mistakes happen, and I wasn’t upset, I actually appreciated how well it was handled!

I’m willing to say that maybe I’m in the minority with my experience here, but this isn’t my favorite Walgreens. The store itself is largely perfectly fine — this is a larger-​than-​normal Walgreens that is fully stocked, complete with soda machine and full selection of the chain’s usual product offerings.
That said, nearly every time I’ve ever come in here, there’s always at least a moderate line and they often take some time to get another cashier open. This is a busy store and other, smaller stores in quieter areas are better at quick check-​out. CVS stores re starting to have express check-​out; wish Walgreens would (hint hint.)
Overall, this is a very nice, larger Walgreens but it almost always seems slow (or very slow during the busiest periods) to check out.
Additionally, wish Walgreens hadn’t started a rewards card program (because, of course, so many people get to the counter unprepared and then have to spend time searching for their card), but that’s a chain-​level issue and not a store problem.

What more could be said than drive up drugs. The orders are finished on time and I have never been given the wrong stuff. With easy pay and phone ordering it could not be any happier unless the prices came down, but no that is a dream. You could get 1 more star if the staff ever smiled, everyone is in a rush and the smile will surely make them late.

I like that this is a fully stocked Walgreens with food, liquor, health and beauty supplies and seasonal items. This place gets pretty busy and generally they are pretty good about getting more cashiers to the front, sometimes as many as three to handle the crowds.
I’m not convinced that this new savers club is such a great deal since I’ve been shopping here for years and even since the beginning of the club, I’ve only accrued $ 5 in points. That’s mostly likely due to the fact that only certain items give you points for purchases, and they are very few items indeed.
As for the staff they don’t seem to be very engaged with their job, sort of flattened in affect and robotic in their approach. Since I work with customers all the time, I know it takes effort to make your customers feel valued. These people are basically going through the motions. This isn’t bad, but it’s not special either.

It’s really hard to separate all the bad Walgreen’s experiences I’ve had but in my best effort I will try.
On the good side, I like that this location still has all the cool kitchy stuff. They still have good sized beauty, seasonal and card departments (as opposed to other locations that want to be more 7/11’s than drug store).
On the not so good side, the pharmacy personnel are more often than not, rude and unhelpful. Plus if you are in a hurry and need your prescription ASAP don’t come here. This was my situation the other day and they very rudely told me that they require 90 minutes to fill the prescriptions. Ridiculous! She basically told me that I should know better than to just come into the store and expect my prescription to be filled. I actually thought that was their business. Guess I was wrong.

Ahhh, a Walgreen’s that doesn’t pretend it’s a grocery store!
This is where my family and I did our traditional New Year’s Eve Walgreen’s stocking stuffer run, and found everything we wanted, from the Bark Off! (As Seen On TV), to almonds, to Reese’s, to Men’s Health magazine, to light bulbs, to Ramen noodles. The one thing we didn’t find were tiny airplane bottles of liquor, but that’s probably for the best… Drinking in Walgreen’s could end in disaster.

I think Walgreens is a good operation. I’m a fan, but sometimes the lack of logic is amazing. I picked up my prescription for medicine that helps lower my blood sugar, attached to the prescription is a coupon for a Dove Candy bar. What??? Either brilliant marketing, keep his blood sugar high so he keeps buying more drugs or a complete lack of logic. Someone has to fix it. I called the pharmacist at this location, who laughed (in a kind way) and said she would let someone know that this is a problem.

Chocolate Covered Raisins
Melts in your mouth not in your hands. Adore the combination of fruit and chocolate? Then brace your taste buds. Just imagine Tangy, sweet raisins covered in luscious milk chocolate. These are the Walgreen’s Brand, yes I said Walgreen’s Brand. I purchased these when I had a hankerin for something sweet and at the same time I wanted make sure I maintained my girlish figure. Yes I could’ve bought the fancy brand, but hey what’s in a name. These taste the same and hey they give you a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee.

I like how this Walgreens looks like the Walgreens of the future, its always getting the newest upgrades and I find that to be kind of awesome.

Another Walgreens. But this one features a rather snazzy pharmacy area as well as a double-​drive through prescription pickup, and it’s 24 hours. It’s also in a convenient location for me and has a noticably large «seasonal» aisle.
It only doesn’t get five stars because once one of the drive through pharmacy people got a bit snippy with me, and it was not appreciated. The next day I came back and went inside to get my prescription. The man who filled my prescription was incredibly helpful and sweet. I might actually go inside versus going through the drive through again, although the double-​drive thru thing is pretty neat…
