Walgreens

I’m not a Walgreen’s shopper, in fact, come to think of it, I don’t frequent ‘drug stores’ per say, (I get our prescriptions filled at the Pharmacy located in the Bi Lo on Ben Sawyer); however, I needed toothpaste and didn’t want to deal with Walmart on a Sunday. So, it made perfect sense to stop at the new Walgreen’s on Johnnie Dodds … after leaving Whole Foods … on my way to Trader Joe’s. Wow, what a convenient location … a large parking lot with direct access off Johnnie Dodds … and, the entrance, well, it’s just a few steps away (I’m so lazy!). The store is large and bright with well-​spaced aisles… all features that I love. I was acknowledged when I walked in and directed to the toothpaste aisle which was way in the back. As I walked through, I couldn’t help but notice that the shelves were well stocked and there were several associates on the selling floor. I quickly found the brand I came in to purchase (hooray … it was on sale) and worked my way back to the point of sale stations located at the front. When asked if I had a Walgreen’s loyalty card, which I didn’t, the associate suggested that I obtain one to get the benefit of the sale price. Well, it was a no brainer. It took a minute. I signed up from the touch screen at the electronic card terminal. There was nothing to fill out … no card to take home to activate … no email address required. I was happy. I’ll be checking out the Walgreen’s weekly specials flyer and no doubt, I’ll be back.
