Walgreens

I use Walgreens primarily for my prescriptions. I switched to this location about a year ago because it was near work and I have a job where I am on the run, and have to make appointments so it would be more convenient. In the past I have had some problems similar to those detailed on this Unilocal page. This month I had to refill my script. I stopped by Walgreens and dropped off the bottle on monday morning. They asked if i wanted to wait — i said no, I can just stop back tomorrow. Late Tuesday morning I stopped by and ran in. When I get there the person says «Oh we haven’t filled that yet. Why don’t you wait and we’ll do it now.» I said I had to go, but let them know I’d stop back in the afternoon. On my lunch I go back hoping to run in as I had a few appointments to make. I can see them all bumbling behind the counter. I asked whats up, and they told me — «oh we’re putting it together right now for you.» Again I said «I’m sorrry — I gotta go.» WTF — I finally had time to go back and get it thursday. There was never a line at all in the times I went there. WHat is the purpose of dropping it off, if they wait till you come back in to fill the script?

Pharmacy staff is HORRENDOUS and will treat you like human trash!
The big african american guy will tell you to wait 20 min and never calls you back, even though your meds have been sitting there for an hour. Why would you hire people who so clearly hate their job ???
Drive through people get served immediately though, maybe that’s what we should have done!!!

The pharmacy staff is lazy. They won’t tell you they can call your doctors office to change your prescription to a cheaper alternative. Instead they let you pay the high amount because they don’t feel like calling your doctors office. The girl with brown hair is too soft spoken to fully want to assist you. After asking why my prescription was so expensive she just started at me and shook her head. I asked her if there was anything I can do to get it for cheaper, she said no. Her manager told me to get over the counter medicine. I went back in the next day (because they didn’t have what I needed the first day and had to deliver it) and again the SAME thing happened. I told her I was going to the doctors to have it changed to something cheaper AND AGAIN she didnt say that she can call and talk to my doctor. My doctor tells me that I can have them call and that they should’ve called for me. When I ask her about it she said «you never asked me to call» with such an attitude. Don’t go to this Walgreen’s pharmacy. Go anywhere else. The customer service is horrible at that pharmacy. The employees who don’t work in the pharmacy are awesome. Very attentive and greet you as you walk in.

I had to start using this Walgreens after mine closed. The pharmacists have all been very helpful. I hada difficult time transferring my prescriptions, getting new ones from my doctors. Over all it was a pain, but they did a great job making the transition much easier. Walgreens pharmacists have always gone above to help. A good note to know, if you go to use the pharmacy drive thru, they can’t see you pull up so you need to hit the call button. the inside of the store is clean well lit and I’ve always had good service.

Don’t come here if you’re looking for anything more than the bare essentials. This isn’t a place to socialize, peruse or hang out. It is the spot for stocking up on overpriced goods and drugs of all varieties. The aisles are clean, the store is well-​lit and the parking lot is spacious, which is less a compliment than a statement that they meet minimum standard. The couple screaming at each other about body wash in the parking lot as I left was the highlight of my visit.

I love this Walgreen’s. Like the reviewer before me, it reminds me of home except it’s way better than my home one. It’s open ²⁴⁄₇ and the staff are always friendly, actually the best customer service I’ve had in a long time. They’re always smiling and ask to help. The pharmacy is quick and they know their stuff. They are helpful with any questions and go out of their way to help. The stock is pretty good, I always find what I need. 4 stars because after 10pm it gets really sketchy, and the staff quality gets worse, but that’s what happens in a 24 hour store in summit!

Everything is locked up where you have to ask an associate to get it for you, even the gum! #fail

This Walgreen’s can be summed up in one word: Scaryville.
Dimly lit, dusty displays, little to no staff… Maybe it’s because I was there late at night, maybe it’s because it’s on the town line, maybe it’s just because it’s a Walgreens (and these places do not seem to do well in a town dominated by CVS), but this place sure is creepy.
The plus side? A HUGE parking lot, and the fac tthat it’s open for 24 hours. Huh, maybe that explains the creep factor…

The largest drugstore chain and Chicago base.
As a transplanted from Chicago to Providence, this is the only place that reminded me of home. Weird isn’t it. But you can always relay every location is always up to par. I understand that CVS and Rite Aid is everywhere, but I will always go out of my way to stop by this Walgreen’s.
They have EVERYTHING in a tiny store. Food? Medication? Notebook? Batteries? CD play? Film? Gloves? Ice Scraper? Roses? Cleaning products? Smoke? Magazines? Toaster? HDMI Cable? They have it all!
I recommend this and any Walgreen’s to anyone that needs a list minute item… I’m sure they have it!

24hours and everything ya need in a convenience store. The people are friendly enough and by this point get my pack of smokes ready for me. Its within walking distance and i guess that makes me bias but it’s still a clean friendly and well, convenient convenience store.

I tend to like this Walgreens because it’s convenient to work and I’ve found some excellent gifts here. Don’t judge! I got sea monkeys for my nephew for $ 10. Score for both him and me! Also the pharmacy is open 24 hours. Great since there is Miriam’s ER nearby.
Two complaints though:
1. Their beauty section is not as extensive as I’ve seen in other Walgreens as well as other CVS (even much smaller ones). It’s my favorite part of drug stores and this one just doesn’t do it for me! It’s the consumerist in me. Barley half a isle, one sided for face stuff? Way too small.
Also, the pharmacist here named Debbie is rude, unprofessional and borderline ignoring some HIPPA laws. I dropped a prescription off this afternoon and she was rude. I only had a copy of my insurance card, not the real deal and she was making a big deal about it (despite the fact that ALL OF MY INFO WAS ON IT). Whatever, I think. When I come back to pick it up she told me it wasn’t going through. I asked her if she called the insurance company and she said no, I haven’t had a moment to check yet. So I tell her I’ll wait till she does, thinking that she’d get right on the phone and do it. She starts doing other things, talking to her coworkers, bringing pills from one side of the pharmacy till the other while I am waiting a the counter! When she finally does it, she was calling the wrong number. She asks me why I couldn’t go get my card. Umm hello? You have all my info in front of you! When I called my boyfriend to give me a number for her to call (he has the same insurance company I do but different plans) she got mad that I couldn’t ask him for my information and acted like she didn’t understand when I said he doesn’t live with me, we just have the same insurance company. Finally it goes through. Despite the fact that I think insurance companies are one of the main evils of America today, she was pretty rude on the phone with them. Doubtful it was called for. Also, she was pretty much yelling my full name and birthdate into the phone with other customers around. Borderline HIPPA violation.
So while this is not the best place for beauty supplies or for the pharmacy, great place to get random stuff for gifts.
