Both Jimmy and Aaron in the photo department are stand-out employees. I encountered Aaron first, when I called to ask if it would be possible to print an option that was not available on the photo ordering section of their website. I don’t even shop here but I came in mainly because Aaron had such an attentive and positive attitude. At the store, both Aaron and Jimmy went above and beyond and did not give up making certain I received the tricky photo I came in for. All I can say is it isn’t at all typical to find one employee who is resourceful, helpful, and solution-driven… and being waited on by two like that was awesome.

Pharmacy sucks. Been sitting here in the drive through for about 7 minutes now. They’ve told me twice that they’ll be with me in 1 min. I can see them inside bagging prescriptions. I don’t understand why they can stop what they’re doing for just a minute to take a quick 30 seconds to get my prescription. There’s a long line behind me too. I think I’m gonna be switching pharmacies. Walgreens as a whole sucks

Like most Walgreens locations, this place is understaffed, so there is almost always a line. Sometimes the drive thru takes longer than just parking and walking inside, since they alternate serving one drive thru customer with one in-store customer. There are two pharmacy techs I love — one is named Andrea and she is caring and efficient, the other is a blonde gentleman whose name I can’t recall. Pharmacist Laura is great — she got to know my husband and me well when we were visiting regularly, and would inquire how we were doing with a particular medicine. She seems to have a genuine concern for and personal connection with customers, which is hard to do at a busy location like this. The other employees are brusque at best. I attribute this to being overworked(and probably underpaid). I wish Walgreens would show some initiative and hire more than the bare minimum, so that patients could have a better experience. Still, this location is light years ahead of the closest CVS.

Better than most. Unfortunately too far from me now. Not enough employees In the pharmacy, so the wait times can be long.

Let me just say I always come into Walgreens for«last min» hectic shopping and they always seem to amaze me with outstanding customer service. This one lady who seems to always be there is the best. I feel like I have a personal shopper to tell me where everything is and the best bang for my buck. I think her name is Wafaa. Just wanted to say Thank you and Happy Holidays to the Walgreens staff!

I came in here to specifically buy some gifts for a senior citizen home program. The residents left a card for their desired gift, and the customer buys that gift, and leaves it in a designated box. The employees will wrap and deliver the gifts for Christmas. The employess were very helpful, taking time to show me merchandise location, etc. The store seems well-maintained and stocked. A very pleasant experience!

Welcome to my Walgreens! What can I say. I love Walgreen’s. They carry a little bit of everything — it’s my go to place when I don’t feel like going to a big store and dealing with crowds.

DONOTGOTOTHISPHARMACY. The customer service is horrible. The Pharmacy Techs are not trained well and often confused about processes and procedures and the Pharmacist seemed like they’ve purchased their pharmD from a diploma mill… Worst place to get your subscriptions filled. Emphasis on worst place with italic, bold, underline and font 1000

I’m a big Walgreens fan over Rite Aid or CVS. Many of the reasons is because the employees here are always friendly and the pharmacist also has time to answer your questions about any drug interactions that you may be worried about. This Walgreens is pretty good, clean and organized. Only wish they were 24hours like some of their other locations.

I’ve been here a few times now and I have nothing bad to say about this Walgreens at all. I am always greeted friendly and had some nice conversations with one of the cashiers(wish I remembered her name). I always find what I need and never have to wait in line too long to be rung up.

Will never bring(old fashioned) film here again. The company they use ruined my son’s 6 grade camp pics… once in a lifetime thing … no photos.

This review covers the photo department and general customer service, to which I happily give them a big fat goose egg. Having my digital pictures printed never fails to be a stressful experience for me. The machine’s broken and there’s no one to help me or whatever. Guaranteed it’s always something. So today, I take a deep breath before I walk in and tell myself, ok, here we go. Hope for the best. I download my pictures from my USB stick, choose the sizes, get my receipt. All is well. I go off, run some errands(one of which includes buying frozen food which I put in my trunk), and go back to Walgreens to pick up my pictures. Shockingly(and I say that facetiously), the photo guy forgot to print my pictures. So he tells me nothing, just runs around(or what passes for running around for twenty-somethings these days — walking in circles like a headless chicken), and finally gives me one of the pictures which had been printed. I guess he printed one and got distracted by something shiny. Five minutes later he hands me THESAMEPICTUREAGAIN. I said, umm, no, this is the same picture you already gave me. Oh, he says. Goes back to his chicken-without-a-head routine and comes back with another picture. Another few minutes go by and he produces the third one. Yippie skippy, after a half hour I’m almost done! Not so fast, it appears he has forgotten how to use the cash register. More of the chicken routine. I finally give up on my feathered friend and try the front cashier. I tell her Chicken Little back there can’t ring this up. She rings it up, no problem, while I regale my story. Her response? I dropped of my pictures during their lunch break. No sorry, no nothing. Dumb Beazie.

This is THEBESTPHARMACY… this side of the west… I have been to many… this puts all to shame… All the ladies that work in there are SUPERPROFESSIONAL and VERYNICE, they always have an answer and always answer the phone… They are on top of things… ohhhh and did I say… DRIVETHRU… come on… no lines… who wouldn’t want to drive thru? note to self… they take a lunch break between 12 and 130(not sure of exact times) on Saturdays. so… make note of that… so you don’t miss the boat… This Walgreens off Navajo is what a pharmacy should be like… Gold Medal, First Place… WINNERS!!!

This is my pharmacy and so I also go here to buy a couple odds and ends often. It’s a clean store with good customer service and the pharmacy is great, they always have your prescription on time and they do things commonsensibly without you having to ask. I haven’t had any problems with them yet, and that’s very rare for me as I have a lot of prescriptions. I’d suggest them for a pharmacy and there’s no reason to not shop here either.

Love the weekly ad with great coupon deals, along with monthly Easy Saver catalog rebates, and occasional codes for free prints in the photo lab. Sales are great when items are available, but Walgreens has a stocking problem — items are frequently out of stock. One goes in with 4 or 5 coupons hoping to get a deal, and often walk out wiht less that half the tiems and agrravated by having to find someone to check stock. Often only one register is open and it can get a bit backed up before they open another one. Store is a little messy, but not as bad as many of the other Walgreens in SD !
