Walgreens

The store is a standard Walgreens, with the typical product lines of a Walgreens. Nothing special, nothing outstanding. The staff is as friendly as to be expected. Lisa F must have come on an «off“day, or her cashier must have had a bad day. I am sure the staff must go through a lot on an average day, and must have good customers and customers that will verbally abuse them. The store is clean, and generally free from clutter. The restrooms are clean and well stocked. There is a Walgreens right down the street and a Rite Aid across the street, so its not as if there are no other options. This store is conveniently located with easy exit access.

We travel all over the country for business, and Walgreens is an easy, consistent place to get necessary items. We had the misfortune stopping by this Walgreens to grab drinks. We travel in a large group and made up about a third of the line waiting to check out. We had about 6 people in front of us and 6 people behind us. They graciously opened another line at the cosmetics counter to help alleviate the back up. All of the people behind us went to cosmetics. Since we were together, we decided to just patiently wait our turn. The cashier, who identified herself as Cheryl Cook, stopped checking out customers and yelled «why aren’t you moving? I said cosmetics was open! MOVE!» I was appalled, but we all went to the other line without saying a word. She then decided that that wasn’t rude enough, and followed up with «What? You don’t speak english?» There are no less than 8 other Walgreens in the city of New Orleans. If you happen to be passing through, I would suggest finding another one unless verbal abuse while shopping is your thing.

Its a walgreens. They were nice.

As a Walgreens connoisseur, this one is definitely my favourite. The employees are great and I think they do a decent job with competitive pricing (there’s a Rite Aid within a stones throw) though I suppose this is more the corporation behind Walgreens than the store itself.
The selection isn’t amazing but the store manager seemed pretty positive when I asked (albeit whined) about household items.
