Walgreens

As I ponder how to rate a Walgreens I think to myself what keeps me coming back time and time again.
1. Convenience — this one is located conveniently on Colorado Blvd. and is the closest one to Cherry Creek. The private parking lot is well laid out and easy to get in and out of even during peek times.
2. Well Stocked — I have a handful of items I always purchase at Walgreens and the shelves are always stocked with my brand.
3. Friendly Staff — Everyone here appears to be happy and I often have someone ask if I need assistance finding anything and every once and awhile I do take them up on this offer.
I find this Walgreens to be one of the better ones in town and it will soon become the closest Walgreens for me to shop.

Best pharmacy ever. The pharmacist Amber was super sweet and very fact with my husband’s prescription after his painful dentist visit.

While visiting in Denver, I ran out of my prescriptions. They had been auto-​filled at home, but the pharmacy here untangled the mess and got my prescriptions for me within 2 hours. The Techs are friendly and very helpful.

Get a Walgreen’s Reward Card (it’s free) for more savings. Ask for Maria – she is very friendly and helpful!

Not bad. Cashier was seemed completely out of it, but she warmed up when I tried cracking a joke and making small talk, so that made me happy. :)

We get the Sunday paper delivered and I have started reading the ads– I have to say I have found some great deals at Walgreens on things such as dye free laundry detergent, dish washer tablets, Kleenex, hand soap and seasonal items. It is definitely worth checking out for the deals– especially when coupled with their rewards card. This time around I earned $ 5 off. The parking is easy here and the gal helping us check out was very cheerful.

I found this old journal of a Walgreen’s employee at an estate sale:
Day 1: Got a new job! I’ll be working at the Walgreen’s on Colorado Blvd today. It isn’t much, but they’ll give me part-​time while I finish up grad school.
Day 2: Okay, my manager and coworkers are pretty strange. Though company policy states that there must be four employees for every shift, none of them ever seem to be on the floor. It’s really weird. Despite never having more than two customers at a time, no customer can ever leave the store in under fifteen minutes. Even the ones that don’t get stuck behind some old woman suffering from dementia usually have to wait, like, ten minutes to get service.
Day 4: Janet mumbled something about the «unblinking eye» and walked into a wall. Everyone who works here seems really odd. Yesterday, Gabe’s family came and begged him to come home. He just kept repeating «but I am home, mother.»
Day 5: Hmm. I’m not digging this checkout process. I’m supposed to ask for ID twice, try to sell them a discount card, and use a credit card machine with ludicrous options that takes several minutes to navigate.
Day 13: Haven’t been sleeping well. I get these dreams… all I can remember is an eye, somewhere in the heavens that never blinks.
Day 22: Horror of horrors! I went into the stockroom to see why, again, there were no employees on the salesfloor. That’s when I saw… it. My co-​workers were on their knees praying to it. I do not, cannot, know how long it has lived there, if indeed a thing like that can be called «alive». It spoke to me in my mind. It showed me things, things I dare not speak aloud. It hurt me.
Day 24: If you’re reading this, it means my attempts to contact the authorities have failed and Bet-​Sabbot has taken hold of me. Of the many mysteries revealed to me, I now know the answers to the lack of employees on the salesfloor, the long checkout process, the zombie-​like cashiers, and why the horrible products no one would ever want to buy are arranged in such a haphazard way around the store. You see, the longer you are in close proximity to the creature, the greater its ability to subjugate your mind. Please, if you are weak-​willed, do not shop at Walgreens! Even five or ten minutes may spell your doom!
Day 33: I no longer go to school. I live at Walgreens, the sepulcher of The Master. I do not eat or sleep — the cold flame of Bet-Sabbot’s love provides me with all the sustenance I need.
Day 41: I lost another tooth today. Probably because I do not love Bet-​Sabbot enough. Perhaps if I give myself to it entirely, I can make manager. Praise the three-​lobed eye!
Day 58: Hi, welcome to Walgreens… I’m going to need to see some ID for those cigarettes, and again for your credit card. Oh, it looks like the machine is down again. Paper towels. Aisle six… no, eight. If you want baby oil I have some in the stockroom. Won’t you follow me… follow me… to the stockroom?

I will never never frequent this place again. I go to 24hr fitness and also have been parking in their lot for years, there is a new policy which i was not aware of that you can’t park in the first five rows. I did not know, I came out of the gym and my car was towed! and it was 300.00 cash only! This is criminal, I went to speak to the store manager and I was told that they could do nothing. I then mentioned they had lost a good customer and I was then told by the extremely rude and unsympathic assistant store manager that their sales were up by 10% this year and it did not matter that I was not coming back. Really? This is how you treat customers.
I would have never parked there if I knew this and I really feel it is a super shady deal on their part. I would understand that I made a mistake and eat $ 150.00 in towing but $ 300.00!!!

Closest one for the Cherry Creekers I believe. It’s by the awesome Super Target. This is a really nice Walgreens, they happen to have really super high tech computers for a place like this. Store is clean and well taken care of employees are super nice and ultra helpful. Always a few interesting people outside of it though

It was a dark and stormy night, and there, shining in the distant haze I spied it! A red W. then an A, then an L then a GREEN! and finally a curious little «s» that made everything alright. I knew I was home now. I knew everything would be OK. But an adventure still awaited
I approached slowly, and gently toed the black mat that activated the automated door. SHAZAM! I was in! Welcome to the journey through the riches of Pharamcia.
The shiny white tile blinded me momentarily, the fluorescent lights made my skin a pallid, chalky, white. I walked ahead slowly, past the maiden standee selling lip plumper sublime. I edged through the kingdom of Maybellene and through the halls of Loreal.
At every turn there was treasure to be found. Elixers of Old Spice and Bay Rum and powder from the faraway fiefdom of Talc. Foodstuffs a plenty! Indeed, Good and Plenty, and Pieces of Reeses and the silver clad Mint of Junior.
Trinkets of the finest sort. A magical band from the land of Scrunchee and foot washing salves of eucalyptus and padded slippers from the wizardry of the Witch Doctor Scholl and unguarded salts from the mine of Epsom.
And finally I traversed this gauntlet of finery, and found the wizards of white smocks dispensing the best of spices and herbs, but only with a written missive from the kings and other royalty who dained you worthy. To those so fortunate, small bottles in the color of orange were given with reverence in fine white paper vessels.
May you visit this magical land some day, and find yourself enthralled.
