Walgreens

Literally the best Walgreens experience I’ve had. The ambiance was fantastic — the lighting and the music was perfect. Who doesn’t love humming to Uptown Girl by Billy Joel while picking out antacids? The cashier was a friendly guy who’s keen knowledge of gummi bears was quite impressive. I will definitely be back next time I’m in need of heartburn relief on a Friday evening.

I would never step foot in this property again based on principle and the dishonesty of the so-​called manager.
I wait to do my shopping on Tuesdays because Walgreens offer a military discount. I had quite a large purchase including several vitamin and mineral products, and various hair products as well. Easily totaling $ 150.
I asked the woman at the register about the military discount and showed my ID and she said Walgreens doesn’t do military discount and then asked another gentleman that came over and he looked at me in the same way as if I had 10 Heads. I verified they were a corporate company and they said yes and I explained I had received discount at various other Walgreens locations on Tuesday.
I explained to her that I wanted to speak to a manager because I wasn’t going to be making the purchase there if they weren’t going to give a military discount. She then spoke to someone on the phone, of which I could hear a woman’s voice and explain to me that Walgreens doesn’t do a military discount. She explained that the manager was busy and couldn’t speak to me. Seriously!!!
So I left my items at the register and left the store. Feeling quite annoyed I called the customer care line for Walgreens to inquire and was told that many of the Walgreens offer military discount, especially those in the area of military post. The woman also explained that the manager could have easily still giving me the discount and I explained that the manager didn’t even come out to talk to me.
Today I received an email from the manager Laura Squirek and she explained that she did not know it all about my inquiry about a military discount yesterday. That’s interesting because that’s the very same name I was given by the cashier who said the manager did not have time to speak to me. So either the cashier was lying or she was lying, none the less I would never give my business to the store since they lack integrity and honesty.

I freaking hate having to give it ANY stars at all. Worst experience… I went to pick up photos and the cashier just left me there while he went to another cash register to help other customers. Man, it was so rude! I’ve never been treated so crappy at a place of business. I do intend on following this through.

Probably the rudest staff of any pharmacy I’ve ever done business with. Try to call and ask a simple question and be sure to plan on being on hold for at least 15 minutes.
In contrast, Safeway across the street, answer in 3 rings.
I wonder if it is against their company policy to smile at their patients. Or at least be a little nice. Anyway, it’s a completely opposite experience a scant 200 feet away at the Safeway across the street.
For the love of everything that’s good in this world, do not go to this store for anything!!! Safeway is right across the street and you will have a better customer experience.

This Walgreens is only okay. The pharmacy never quite meets your expectations.
For the pharmacy in particular: There’s always a huge wait, they never have your prescriptions ready, so you end up waiting 20 or 30 minutes anyway — – so why bother with their convenient online prescription filling program or having your doctor calling in your prescription? I think it is their protocol to actually wait until you’re standing there to fill your prescription.
All that online, smart phone app technology right down the drain.
The store: Everything you could possibly ever need. You will overpay for it and there’s just Safeway right across the street, but everything you ever could need in health and beauty, convenience, film processing, sweatshirts, socks, candlles, Halloween Candy, Christmas decorations — – always here at your convenience. Plus there’s a nice red box outside.

I go because of the drive through, but the wait is horrible, no one seems to be in much of a hurry, and many times they do not have medications in stock and I have to go to another Walgreens anyway. Plus, they are more expensive than Safeway, across the street.

My go to Walgreens and one of my regular stops as they always have some great sale items — lately they have been mostly soap based! The shampoo my husband likes, hand soap, dish soap and dye free detergent. Coupled with coupons and their balance rewards program it is fun to see how cheaply I can get these items. They also really mark down their seasonal items and there is usually still a good selection to choose from after any given holiday. (I like to stock up). There is a huge parking lot that is never full and a red box my husband likes to use. Somehow I am the one who always winds up returning the movie so I am grateful this is an easy drop-​off location!

It has everything you could want, minus a kitty litter pan. Whatever, they have carmex and every thing else you could want. I am sure the pharmacy is legit and my last passport photo was taken at a Walgreens, but geesh, there is an overload of every seasonal kitchy thing made in China ever. But hey, I will need St. Patrick’s Day swag, so I guess I know where I will stock up! God Bless America!
