Walgreens

Standing here at the pharmacy with a return. Bag unopened and script in bag with receipt sealing contents. Pharmacy girl here yesterday would not under any circumstances give me the coupon price nor would the manager jay. The coupon was one that was written on prescription by our family doctor. Same employee ushered me out so quick she did not let me know there were no returns on any scripts.

I have had such slow, rude experiences at another walgreens that I felt I needed to say how nice and friendly and helpful the pharmacy technician was here today! Super nice and fast!

I like this Walgreens — a LOT. Here’s why:
The older women at this store will always look through the coupon book for you and hook you up with deals you didn’t know existed.
There’s a guy who works at the photo booth who looks like he should be my best friend.
There is a very attractive, tattooed pharmacist working there, which is a joy to behold as you wait in line. And in general, the pharmacy is super quick and never fucks up your stuff.
They now sell wine and beer and I most certainly did purchase my New Year’s champagne here. Because if there was one word to describe me, it would be «classy.»
Lastly, the time I decided to dye my hair black, the cosmetics cashier and the woman in line behind me went on and on telling me how it would look terrible with my complexion and I would look like a witch. It sounds harsh, but I felt like they were saying it out of love. I ignored them, but appreciated their honesty.
This is a damn good Walgreens.

This location is… ok.
They’re conveniently located in the middle of the Grapevine area. They have decent prices for a drug store, including some of the best prices on cigarettes that I’ve seen. They have a moderately diverse selection of products. The staff, if not the most knowledgeable and proficient in the retail industry, are very friendly. And the hours are very convenient.
But they have some problems, and they’re quite severe ones.
First and foremost they continually run out of stock. And it’s not just the most common items, like sodas and snacks. It’s everything from medications, to compression stockings, to bandages, to pet food. Some items aren’t restocked for weeks at a time, particularly specialty items as non-​prescription diabetic supplies.
As an example, they’ve been out of Futura brand compression socks in my size for ten weeks now.
The prices on many items are often mislabeled. For example, I went there last night to pick up a number of items that were listed as on sale in their weekly ad. Three of the items I planned on purchasing were not labeled correctly on the shelves.
To compound this problem many of the items are listed at one price in their circular, another on the shelves, and ring up at yet another price at the register. At least once a week I have to have a manager come up and override the price on something I’m buying because it rings up incorrectly.
The biggest problem they have though is in their pharmacy area. It is incredibly understaffed. There have been times when I’ve walked in to see 10+ people waiting in line at the pharmacy counter, with a wait time of over 20 minutes.
The problem also causes problems in something they advertise on a regular basis, flu shots. They post that you can get flu shots at any time the pharmacy is open in their weekly circular. They have a display outside of the door advertising this when you walk in. At certain times they have an employee by the door asking if you’ve had your flu shot. But their pharmacy staffing is so low they routinely have to turn people away, saying that they just don’t have the time for it.
I shop here because of the convenience, it’s less than a mile from my home. But I just can’t give it an above average rating until they fix some of these problems.

Everyone here is pretty friendly. If your looking for a photo deal the photo people do a great job finding you discounts and developing photos. I always have a positive experience here with out any problems finding what I want.
Bonus there is a red box here.
