Walgreens

This Walgreens has the stink and feel of an open-​air market. Old people clamoring about, clenching coupons and hollering. Young kids falling over, as the employees a mix of incompetent bandits and soothsayers try to force you through with out an acknowledgement that you are a human being also traveling this earth toward that old sour destination: death.
On few occasions I’ve managed to escape here with only mild-​frustrations.
One time I asked a guy where TIME magazine was, he was appalled that people were still reading TIME magazine (they had an expose on Mad Men’s final season, I’m a huge Mad Men fan and can’t wait to see how the series ends) The employee just kept pointing to a double-​sized TIME retrospective on Mother Theresa.
Does Mother Theresa even bare a passing resemblance to Jon Hamm?
Okay, yeah — maybe — a little bit.
The lines are always long, and it seems like the employees would rather cut themselves open and bleed out in front of you than open another register.
Their saving grace is the woman from cosmetics — who at least seems to have a handle on the fact that she is indeed working for a company and selling goods to people in a store.
My fat roommate who wears the robe also hates this Walgreens, but won’t say why — I can’t imagine the horrors he must have endured here, if he’s being tight lipped about his experience.
My dog even hates the Walgreen brand dog snacks, and Mocha (the dog) once ate a carrot off the kitchen floor.

They seems to always be out of things when I drive to this one.

There nightshift employees are always so friendly and talkative. After leaving the er i decided to stop and get a heating pad and the employee was genuinely helpful and caring. I recommend shopping here with a rewards card as that is the only way to save.

I’m a huge fan of this Walgreens. But not for the values one typically finds in a 24-​hour drugstore. I really, really crush this place when it comes to photo work and gifts. The Web site is so easy to use for creating customizable gifts and this store always has the orders ready either same-​day or the next day. It’s pretty awesome when I can create and order a calendar full of my photos from my house in Hawaii and have that order ready for pick-​up in time for the holiday so I don’t have to carry it on the plane.
And yes, the 24-​hour part is a rarity around here (you would think the store in Wilkes-​Barre Township would fly 24 hours but you’d be mistaken).

Love this place. So convenient and so close to my house. Make sure to get into the rewards program, especially if you are using passbook on iOS 6.
