Walgreens

I stop here frequently for little things I need. I decided to get a flu shot at this pharmacy since I’ve gotten the flu the past two years. I’ve never gotten a flu shot before.
I started with an online appointment that I scheduled a few days prior. When I got there they didn’t have my appointment on file. The girl at the pharmacy said a lot of times the online service doesn’t work. I guess this wasn’t a big deal since I got in quickly.
I’m giving this pharmacy a 2 because it looked dirty, which scared me since I’m getting stuck with a little needle here. There was stuff everywhere, pens and little pieces of paper all over the floor, and it didn’t look like there was a counter that didn’t have random stuff on it. All the employees behind the counter yelled across the room to each other when they needed things. Seemed a bit unprofessional.
The pharmacist that gave me the shot was really friendly and helpful. The room I was brought into was decent. I know I’m not at my medical clinic for this shot, and wasn’t expecting a whole lot, but I don’t think a clean waiting area is too high of an expectation.

Came in here having an allergic reaction. The pharmacist was extremely helpful, kind and knowledgable. Staff at this store is very nice. Been to other Walgreens and felt the staff was rude. Especially if you try to check out at the photo counter or cosmetics. This is one of my favorite locations along with Larpentuer/​Lexington in Roseville and Wildwood in Mahtomedi.

I grew up in a small town where the local drugstore was one of the places you went to spend your allowance money. So Drug stores activate this child like «Gimmie Gimmie» reflex where I walk in and want to check out all the aisles to see if I can find some hidden treasure.
This Walgreen’s is new (6 months old) and is not on the Walgreen’s web site so I had to pilfer the info about it from Mapquest and community on-​line newspapers. You can tell it’s a new store as it is very clean and organized. Who doesn’t love that new store smell? OK — maybe not.
There is nothing remarkable about this store and nothing sinister either. I will shop there again as it’s convenient and it sells all those things that you need NOW and don’t mind paying a little more when you have a genuine and somewhat urgent need.
