Walgreens

Best Walgreens. Staff is awesome. Always get photos on time. And, the pharmacy always fills my meds right away.

Its Walgreens. Its fine. They keep my meds in stock for me. That’s nice.

Wow, I had to take a way to write about my experience here today. Cause I was flat out blown away!
First the store had all the typical things you would want. Toiletries, medical needs, household items, groceries, even a souvenir area. I dropped in to grab some aviators cause it’s so bright out today.
It was really easy to find what I needed and the staff offered to help every time I walked by a new person. And it was very casual, not pushy at all. I was free to wander and browse but knew I could ask if needed.
But I really gotta give it up to ALEX at the check out counter. Wow! They are the bomb and should be rewarded with something for sure. They told me about the new points program, guided through checkout, and just provided above and beyond customer service all around.
I will definitely be making it a point to shop here next time I need something of this nature. If you’re reading this from Walgreens know that it is because of your amazing employee Alex that I’m sold on this particular location. What a baller!

This isn’t my regular, neighborhood Walgreens but I was in the Capitol Hill area and needed a Rx filled.
While my dog and I were waiting for my Rx, I had pleasant interactions with several staff throughout the store. All of the staff and the new manager were happy, pleasant and helpful! Specifically, Alex and Junika were incredibly helpful with doing an exchange/​return so that I could get 5,000 rewards points. They also took extra time to come pet my pup and discuss my pregnancy with me. Great experience!

The service I received from the pharmacist this evening was exceptional. She was extremely efficient and kind. She assisted in sorting out a situation with my prescription while also attending to other customers in line. Her calm and kindness will not be forgotten. I would like it if Walgreen’s pharmacies opened at an earlier hour, it is challenging to get things done prior to typical work hours.

Just moved here and looked up the closest Walgreens. Pharmacy opens at 9am. Website says 8am. After opening they made me wait for 30 minutes after getting my prescription.
Pharmacy staff is slow and disinterested in serving customers. I’m going to try other drugstores in the area.

Walgreens is like a ghetto Bartell’s or CVS. Not too bad, but i’ve seen a lot better than this. This place usually offers what I am looking for, and if I am in the area and I really need something quick, I will be forced to go to this place. I like to avoid Walgreens.

Convenient location when you are at Volunteer Park and you forgot something such as sunscreen or a towel or whatever it may be.

Love this location and how friendly the staff is. The photo department rarely asks my name anymore and the pharmacist is very helpful. The only drawbacks are the panhandlers being so close to the entrance. Clean and easy to find what you want.

Came in late to make several copies of old photos. Staff was super friendly and helped me out a bunch. It was super late at night and no one even batted an eye, they just helped me out. Thanks!!!

Went in inquiring about their «$ 25 gift card for RX transfer program» they are running on
. The Pharmacy Manager aka. Pharmacy tech which has no clue of what their company are promoting start accusing me of Welfare fraud (I think you can not get gift card if you are on assistant program)
How does it goes from Hey, I might want to be new customer to 3^rd degree grilling that I was trying to commit fraud? Genius way of attracting new customer.
I told her I am paying cash, she still goes on and on that Walgreen would know if a person is on any kind of assistant in front of all the people that was waiting around. I had to raised my voice and said I am not on assistant to shut her up.
When proceed to asked about «
» site that compare RX. price in the area (like gas
)” The Manager” has no clue but right in the middle of what I try to explain to her, she simply just walked away to the computer at the far end and had small talk with Pharmacist. When asked if our conversion is over, she yelled back that she was looking up the info. I walk out at that point.
My 5 years old has better social manners than this. The neighbor does not seems to be Ghetto like to me. ODD.
Surely these people does not seem to represent what’s their company is trying to do,

really rude clerk in the photo department. Ask a question and she barked, «It’s $ 10.00» Even, though, in the circular it was $ 5.99. Been burned more than once on a cosmetic item. Shampoo that had been frozen (separated and gloppy) and when I brought it back they asked if I had put it in the fridge by mistake because they don’t sell such things. I noticed that someone brought back a heating pad they said didn’t work, the clerk put it right back on the shelf.
Bye, bye Walgreens; Bartell’s gets my business from now on.

Very poor service at the Pharmacy. Pharmacist is rude and dismissive (wouldn’t help with locating an over the counter item, was clearly beneath her). Was insulting when I went to drop off a prescription and stood in the «drop off» line — rudely told me not to cut the line and join the «pick up» line. Overall a horrible experience. Will be moving to another pharmacy for future prescriptions.

Serves its function. I don’t like to be there, just get my stuff and go. I doubt they treat their staff well, they also don’t seem like the recycling type and probably discriminate against older workers and homosexuals.
Just a typical soulless, gigantic chain store.

Since this Walgreens is only 4 blocks away from me, it’s been my go-​to drugstore and pharmacy. I’ve been in a few times in the past week to get things for an upcoming trip to Asia. Here’s why it gets one star:
1. The stock. In the past couple weeks I have had to go back multiple times because they are out of things. Last week I went in for sunscreen and hand sanitizer. They were out of the store brand hand sanitizer, and out of most of the sunscreen! It’s summer, for god’s sake, can you please keep sunscreen in stock? Today I went looking for contact solution, but half the slots on the shelf are empty. They really need to do a better job stocking the shelves.
2. The hours. The pharmacy is not open very convenient hours. It doesn’t open until 10am on weekends, and it seems to close early on weekdays. It’s a pharmacy — people get sick all the time.
Some people have noted that the staff is great. I’ve found them to be acceptable. When you can find someone they will usually show you to the right shelf. But they also annoy me with the «did you notice we have a special on these things. want to buy some?» crap when I check out. I know that’s probably company policy, but it’s annoying. Just let me pay and leave.

It’s a Walgreens. It’s in my neighborhood, very convenient. People are generally helpful. Usually some interesting people watching. I always buy some random holiday crap or candy that I wasn’t planning to buy. Overall, it serves its purpose.

The only reason I subtracted a star is because, well… it’s the neighborhood Drugstore. Other than that, the staff make this place the 4 star beauty that it is!
With my 34^th birthday right around the corner, I decided to take the plunge and buy some «official» facial lotion. I have fairly sensitive skin and didn’t want to use anything with crazy chemicals. Having never been wrong with suggestions in the past, I went to find the trusty cosmetics gals and explain my case. Sadly, neither were working that day.
I picked out a brand that some of my gal pal’s recommended, not to name names but starts with an «A» ends with an «O» and promotes their use of natural oatmeal and soy in their product. For those that don’t know (yep, that was me), «soy» is not a great choice for sensitive skin, rather more like acetone on your skin. Having remembered the cosmetics gal’s telling me in the past, «you can return it if you don’t like it,» (I should add I remember thinking, who on earth would return mascara?) I decided for the first time to exchange a cosmetic.
Not only did my trusty cosmetic gal seem genuinely happy to see me, but she proceeded to explain the whole soy/​sensitive skin relationship to me and recommended a great (and cheaper!) alternative and topped it off with a $ 2 coupon!
Beat that!
All-​in-​all, the entire staff are beyond helpful and customer service rock stars!
Cheers Gals!

I find this to be one of the weirder Walgreen locations.
They technically have things inside but they’re usually hard to find, shoved into the too small shelves or hiding in a location you’d never guess.
I went in because my local Walgreens was out of some press on nail sets for the little one’s stocking– nothing says ‘Santa loves you and thinks you’re such a big girl’ as tacky press on nails apparently…
They didn’t have them, and when I asked the cosmetic counter lady — who had pleasantly told me she’d be happy to help if I had questions– where I might find lip gloss sets for little girls, she basically pointed and said ‘down there.’ Uh, thanks I think. There was one Hello Kitty set, but no Bonnie Bell– WHA? Where’s the candy cane shaped tube of soda pop flavored lip gloss that we all know and love?
The woman at the front counter was awesome, however, and helped me figure out the price on something that was incorrectly marked on the shelf, and even tried a coupon in their flyer to see if I’d save any money.
So she gets 5 stars, the store, gets like 1.5

Go in. Go out. get what you need on the way to dance class.
It’s Walgreens. Not Bartells or Nordstorms. Ok bland service. Convenience rules.

This is my local Walgreen’s so it is where I go for my Meds
that is really about all this place is good for, the staff in the Pharmacy is really good and very nice people work here, they are always helpful on the phone or in person.
other than that the people up front lack any type of personality, just makes me want to go else wear I try to find what I want and have it all rang up at the Pharmacy
