Walgreens

Mixed feelings about this place…
Pros:
— good variety of items
— decent prices
— open 24 hours
Cons:
— sketchy clientele. Out of their control, but sometimes feel unsafe or uncomfortable in both the store & the parking lot. And there is always someone asking you either for money or a cigarette.
— can be hard to find an associate for help. Particularly true for Photo.
Again, mixed feelings. Probably will return, but likely only during the day or with a buddy.

The girls who work her are the sweetest ever. I’ve been coming here for over a year and never fail to smile because the clerks have become my friends. Walgreens: raises for everyone… You’re an enormous company, I don’t think your CEO, CFO, etc. will really suffer if they give an extra $ 5 -$ 10. To each person who works to essentially earn less than a pittance, keep up the hard wrk. Co

They get two stars because the inside of the store is always stocked and tidy. However checking out takes a lifetime. And the sketchy people outside really annoys me. I usually go at night alone and it’s scary to walk by these people to the car.

This place is SKETCHY. No matter what time of day you go here, there is always some sketchy looking person, or homeless person or how I refer to them as «Urban Campers» hanging out in front asking for money. The staff inside and the Police usually do a good job of keeping them away but it’s almost a full time job in itself. There store is fairly clean and pretty much everything, deodorant, cold meds, antacid med are behind locked cases so you have to ask someone to help you. The employees are friendly especially the over night crew. This place is great for people watching, one time I left and as I drove around the back of the building to the exit toward the side street, one of the Urban Campers was dropping a deuce on the sidewalk… WTF. But with all that said, it is open 24hrs. which is nice.

It’s close to where I live, it’s on the way home from the ballpark, it’s open all the time.
The staff is pleasant. The store is fairly tidy.
HOWEVER. This «one cashier» bullcrap needs to stop. It’s a busy store and yet they can’t be bothered to do ANYTHING about it. No matter when you go, you’re stuck in this long, slow-​moving line. Occasionally, the photo kiosk or the cosmetics register will open, but don’t ever plan on a quick in/​out.
Furthermore, there’s usually at least one crackhead with a sob story out front. I am not unsympathetic to addicts, but a simple «Can you spare a dime?» works better than «I ran out of gas/​got beat up/​need bus fare/​get my daughter some formula».
I hate this place. I hate it. Never go there.

I live practically next door to this Walgreens so I come here on a regular basis. Actually, let me refine that. When I’m rolling out of my apartment in pajamas and want cigarettes or a snack, I come here. When I’m better dressed and want household stuff or some food, I go to CVS down the street.
I like this Walgreens because they’re open at all hours and there aren’t usually that many sketchy people hanging around the front door at 2am like some other places.
I always get stuck in line behind someone paying with food stamps who act like they’ve never used their card before and hold the line up for 15 minutes. Or old people who decide to do their grocery shopping here. In general, they’re pretty quick about opening up two lines but on most days you’ll wait either way.
The day staff here isn’t all that friendly, but the night staff and guards are always very pleasant.
