Walgreens

So I’m planning a Halloween party and between Walgreen’s and the Dollar Tree I have saved a shizz load of cash. The staff is cool and the store is clean. I will mos def be back to this Walgreen’s!

I took a small stroll down memory lane, took a sharp right and went down the hill and ended up at the Corner of Happy & Healthy.
Interesting, I never, ever think about going to Walgreens. But just like a late night after drinking– Walgreens and a Burrito Supreme are the same, I always find myself tearing into one.
Maybe it’s because they’re located on just about every street corner (or they appear to be), or
it could be, the over-​generous and gracious operating hours (24 hours), or they have just about everything you, your spouse, or your second cousin will ever need when requested in a five minute window.
Walgreens is sort of like a Flea Market with prescriptions, $ 1 toys, and fountain drinks but they also develop film and have a loyalty program. Visionaries… no doubt.

Usually this place would rate four stars but the past two trips have been just a pain. It’s not just my Doctor that is annoyed but I am as well. Two months in a row they lost my script, and it took a week to get filled. When I spoke to the Pharm techs they were curt. Not happy about that. I pay for the Rx, I pay for my Ins, it’s just a pain to have to do all of the calling myself and chase down a refill.
With that said, the Pharmacist himself is so knowledgeable and nice. He caught a drug interaction that even my Doctor didn’t, because it was a rare and newly recognized interaction (I thought they did studies… oh well), and he brought it to my attention, placed a call and worked with my doctor on another option. I really appreciate him actually using his knowledge and making the effort.
Everyone else is very nice inside, it’s always clean, stocked well, some one is always available to help… even the angst ridden teen behind the counter (hehe Gitana). I will continue to have my scripts filled here, it’s just too convenient not too, but better customer service would up my rating.
