Walgreens

I had a bad customer service experience today, and it will be my last visit to Walgreens.
I had my items and was going to get in line in the cosmetics department, but she was helping someone, and so I went to the front of the store, where an older woman was at work checking out people. There were two women behind her, and so I looked for other options. I noticed a man standing by the register in the photo department. I approached and asked him if I could check out there (I would have been fine had he said no), but he said «Sure. I’ll open up over there (near the main front register.» As I walked over and he followed he said, «I’ll take the next person in line». *Wait a minute. I went and asked you to check me out and you tell me you will take someone other than the customer that got you? Okay. Stay with me.*
I didn’t say a word, but waited in the line where the older woman was checking out customers, waiting on him to say he would then take me. What does he do after he checked out the woman? Wait for it… wait for it… HE WALKED AWAY. Yes, he walked back to the photo department and didn’t look in my direction. Who does that?!
Normally I would have said something, but it didn’t seem worth it. If he didn’t have the customer service skills to say «Ma’am I will take you now», then he probably wouldn’t have had the skills to handle my complaint like a professional.
The sad part is that this was one of my favorite stores, but CVS and Target are directly across the street. When there are other options, learn how to treat customers.

This is our go-​to Walgreens thanks to our positive experiences here. The service is quick and attentive, and the store is bright, clean and well-​stocked. Very good job!

A clean Walgreens store. Nothing out of the ordinary, save that on this day there were only 2 people working — as told to me by the cashier. The girl at the register was bemoaning the fact that everyone else has called in. You can not run a store with just two people, but the were doing an admirable job.

This is a good walgreens. Getting in and out of the parking lot can be difficult… especially if you are trying to go westbound on Tampa Rd. They have everything you could need here, and a Redbox outside too!

This Walgreens is great. It’s no wonder I spend a lot of money here. (Probably should cut back on that…)
The associates here are some of the best I’ve come across, and they’re always happy to help. On top of that, they usually have the cosmetics counter open to handle any overflow of customers.
The cashiers here are very good about asking you for your Balance Rewards Card (Walgreens’ loyalty program) and many times they’ve given me a heads up on coupons I can use for items they’ve seen me purchasing.
There’s also a Redbox at this location, so a lot of times I’ll grab a movie and then go inside and get some snacks from Walgreens to make it a movie night at home.
Also, for those of you who don’t mind waiting for a good deal, hit up Walgreens the day after a holiday. Most of their holiday items will be 50% off!
