Walgreens

Once again Walgreens lived up to its reputation –AWFUL. I ordered a set of photos early one morning then I arrive at This Yonkers Ave location to wait over 10 minutes to find out the photo lab was out of the photo paper. I asked to speak to the manager on duty on 1÷21÷16 at 3pm only to keep getting sarcastic answers on why I could not be notified the photo lab ran out of the needed. Paper. At the end of our very unpleasant conversation, the Manger on duty suggested I Unilocal Him so here You go. I don’t remember his exact name. With all the CVS’s poping up everywhere, You would think Walgreens would want to please their customers better

Once in a while, a decent alternative to CVS.
And a BETTER alternative to the CVS closest to this location.
This place opened up after that horrid A&P closed down. It’s a decent sized lot (though customers can’t seem to handle it at times) with ample parking.
Inside, the store is usually neat and though I’ve always preferred CVS generally, this place is usually stocked well and has things that CVS doesn’t carry. The store is pretty spacious and everything is where they should be. The pharmacy area is usually better than it’s closest rival… when they pay attention.
One complaint is the register area and the doors. With some people just being dumb, you really need to mark «entrance» and «exit» — you can enter and exit through both sets of doors. The register area is also poorly done and instead of tills on both sides, they ought to have just one side with registers.
Another more important complaint is the employees of course — most of them are downright rude, lethargic, and just shouldn’t be employed. I usually don’t need to ask for help, but even just walking past, the dead-​blank stares they give you is more than enough. It seems to be the «in» thing to hire garbage, but if this place really want to separate themselves and compete with CVS, hire better employees who not only want to work, but know how. This is not the only Walgreen’s I’ve been in that the employees are less than desirable — and again, it’s not all, since there have been a few at this location that were friendly and didn’t seem to mind doing what they get paid to do.
Generally, if you can look past the trash that works there, it’s not a bad store with decent prices and really, a good alternative to any CVS and especially the one 2 miles up the block.

Worst walgreens I can think of. Understaffed. Always a long line at register everytime I go. Amazing. Pharmacy is good though.

This pharmacy called me at 10:30am to let me know my Rx was ready. I arrived by 07pm and they could not find my order. They acted like it didn’t exist until I referenced my call log indicating their call. They then sat punching keys on their computer for 5 mins without telling me what was going on. Then tried to play it off like «we must have put it back because there was a change in your insurance» which is totally false because they don’t run insurance prior to the pick up. Subsequently had to sit and wait while they filled (refilled) the order. No apology, poor communication, botched management. Fail.

Great for if I need a little something for the house. Good layout. Has most brands I like. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Seems clean and well stocked. Stocks my favorite sunblock lotion and cleaning products.
They lost stars because it seems like there’s always a line here.

I’m definitely a fan of Walgreen’s. The young ladies that are check-​out girls are nice and friendly. There is a lovely pharmacy tech named Laura that remembers and properly pronounces my name when she sees me. I have a difficult name and that has never happened to me in a chain setting. That’s above and beyond.
The store has pretty much everything you need and a lot of stuff you don’t. It’s worth strolling the aisles because it makes me remember I’m nearly out of bleach, etc. I like to check out their holiday stuff because it’s pretty unique and generally pretty cheap.
I have a personal attachment to this Walgreen’s because I came here after oral surgery in a lot of pain and looking like hell. I was actually shaking and very pale from trying to manage the pain I was in. The pharmacist (an Asian lady) took one look at me and said «10 minutes honey». I was out of there in 5. Nice.

When your in a hurry. Rushing! Wallgreen is closer to find what you need. Staff are friendly!
Some brands are expensive but it’s closer to your home. What you can’t find in Cvs is here.
Their pharmacy used to accept blue cross but not anymore.
Still they have basic staff you need for a day. 3 star.
