Walgreens

Not sure why all the mediocre reviews, it’s a Walgreens where the people are friendly but busy, they always get my scripts correct and timely, the pharmacy is very qualified and helpful. The checkout is pleasant, never a long line, and the store is well stocked. I’ve been going there for 4 yrs and when the store isn’t busy (which is most of the time for me) they says Hello when I enter. I would rate this store higher than your typical Walgreens.

The pharmacy staff is merely dismissive on a Good day. They are usually just plain hostile. The unpleasant attitude is apparently contagious, they all seem very unhappy. I was so surprised when I went to another location, they were smiling! friendly! The comparison was stark. Life is too short to allow retail personnel to ruin your mood. This review is based on continued bad experiences, not just an occasionally out-​of-​sorts pharmacist.

Poor customer service. She was talking over us to another customer. Did my acknowledge us. And they were talking loudly and negatively about someone.

Okay, I know this is totally beyond dorky, but… THIS PLACE IS MY JAM.
I lived so close to here at the time, that it was my one-​stop shop for all my basic needs. I could stop in when I got gas, or if I was waiting for a prescription I could go drop off my dry-​cleaning or get take-​out or mail a package, or even get a hair cut in the same tiny shopping strip. It was so convenient to a ton of other shops, maybe I should be raving about the shopping center itself, but no, no, it was the Walgreens that made it for me.
Imagine driving home after a long, long day at work with a 2-​hour round trip commute. Exhausted, you remember that you need to pick up some milk on the way. You get to Walgreens, in, out, home. It was just… zenlike in its simplicity.
Plus, you could peek at the seasonal aisle or their garden aisle for cute lawn ornaments.
I would go there for everything, for groceries, for cards, for gifts, meds, cold supplies, it had everything I could possibly want and it was so convenient.
I even got to know some of the staff, who were all really nice. It felt like my own tiny general store right down the street.
It was a pillar of mundane amazing… mundazing, in my short time in Tennessee, and it kept me anchored in my crazy, crazy life.
I never thought I’d feel so strongly about a drug store, but there you have it.
