Walgreens

I bought five things today. Everything was on sale. Total savings were 32%.
The checkout clerk was friendly, and asked if I am a Balance Rewards member. She also asked me how I was today and said, «Have a nice day» when I left.
I earned 350 Balance Rewards points: 100 everyday points and 250 bonus points with one of my purchases.
It’s extremely beneficial to watch Walgreens sales and what products earn you bonus points.

I HATE going to Walgreens now due to a poor staffing choice. There is a woman that is working there in the early morning (between 6 and 7). She looks like she hates her job and hates working for the company. One day, on my way to work, I stopped to pick up some ink pens and a diet coke. When I approached her, she looked like she was in pain because she could not log into her register. I asked her if she was okay. SHE ASKED ME TO LOG HER OUT OF THE REGISTER ACROSS THE AISLE. I did not know how to log her out and she looked at me… sighed…and then walked around the register… sighed again… and then came back. No «How are you?» No, «Your total is…» No «Thank you» or «Be Well.» This woman looks like she hates her job and has tarnished my view on the company. This is not a one time incident. This is a reoccurring instance. It has gotten to the point where I will drive an extra half mile to go to CVS. HORRIBLE!

Nice store. Easier to enter/​exit than last store. Miss the prior pharmacy manager.

Did I seriously get greeted at the counter by a 90 year old lady with a huge blow pop sucker in her mouth, that didn’t even bother to take it out before she talked to me. This is just the first of many problems I have with this location. Slow staff, blind staff, deaf staff, untrained on your new register’s staff. I honestly think they staffed this location from the nursing home down the street. Though the bigger lady that works back in photo is really nice and speedy. She is cool. I have since quit going to that particular Walgreens, though I will visit other locations as needed. I quit using their expensive pharmacy years ago but did pop in to get one of the kids a vaccine she didn’t have right before school started. The Take Care Clinic was very nice to deal with, had us in and out in a jiffy.

When you’re within walking distance of your residence in a foreign city you get thumbs up in my book. Why? Because sometimes you run out of things and the person you’re staying with has the car and you just need to go get it.
