Walgreens

The pharmacy staff is dismal at best. Rude, unhelpful and there is always a line inside & out. Once I actually get to the register the process is better. If it wasn’t so close to my house and convenient I would leave.

There’s a museum in London in which you can «live» in British history by going through exhibits that demonstrate all sorts of horrors that were common practice from the Dark Ages and into the 18^th century. Likewise, in Seoul I saw an animatronic reenactment of an Admiral Yi naval battle during the Japanese invasions of the 1590s. That brings me to this particular Walgreens: what I initially thought was an attraction in Oklahoma that displayed the food lines of Soviet Russia. Turns out I was wrong… it really is a neighborhood Walgreens.
Any time I’ve had a prescription filled here it has been a horrible experience. The pharmacy is severely understaffed, and the pharmacists are pretty rude and overall apathetic. I’ve had to wait up to twenty minutes in a line with only one person in front of me. I’ve also been the only person in line just to have the pharmacist standing there and ignoring me. I called in a prescription that said it would be ready the next day, only to have the pharmacist say they didn’t fill it… nearly 24 hours after I had called it in to be filled.
While I like the convenience of a pharmacy within walking distance of me, I just can’t go here again. Sadly, my experiences here strive to be forgettable, as I’ve had nothing but bad ones. I’m actually at the point that I think I may switch over to CVS, if it’s at all possible. If not, or if it’s too much of a hassle, I’ll go to a different location. I would definitely advise this to people who have life-​saving medication, or will go through withdrawals if they suddenly stop taking their prescription. If the latter is true to you, you’ll probably experience them just waiting in line here.

This is my friendly neighborhood (chain) drug (store) of choice. Wins and losses, tallied below:
Wins:
The woman who works the cosmetics section is the nicest lady in the world. I’m embarrassed to not know her name, but she is lovely. So helpful and so nice.
The checkout people all work really hard and are very pleasant.
The pharmacists are knowledgable and helpful.
Losses:
So much stuff is cray overpriced– you’re so much better off to buy razors, toilet paper, paper towels, tampons, diapers, and almost everything else at Sam’s, or even Target would actually be cheaper than this. Walgreen’s is for cosmetics, prescriptions, vitamins, OTC meds, and getting photos developed, and that’s about it. Please don’t be a dummy and buy foil and trashbags at Walgreens.
The Pharmacy is often understaffed.
Also, because the insurance biz is so whack, sometimes something simple takes nine times longer than it should. It would be nice if sometimes they would say– hang on person number one, can you step aside for ten seconds while I grab this gal so we can get her out of there. We stood in line for (and I’m not exaggerating) fifteen minutes the other day while the pharm and the lady in front of us sorted out some biznaz. When we got up there and asked a question, she called the a actual pharmacist over and that person was able to help us in two shakes, and she was there the whole time!!!
As far as Walgreens go, this one is perfectly fine, but may never be better than a 3.

It’s not a bad walgreens by any stretch. However, the CVS across the street is cleaner and friendlier. So if you have the time, do yourself a favor and go across the street.
