Walgreens

Wow, Frank needed a new passport photo and Walgreens delivers the goods. I had to renew my passport but needed a photo. I jump on Unilocal and they said WALGREEN’S and damn Unilocal was correct.
In & out in 15 minutes with photo and smile. Highly recommended using there service.

I would give this place a «0» if I could. I had white center pharmacy until it closed without telling any of the customers. my prescriptions were automatically sent to this walgreens. I did not pick them. they were difficult to get on phone, I finally went in an it took a long time. Granted, I am used to a neighborhood private pharmacy. I moved to another pharmacy being I was looking for a small private owned pharmacy. when I found one, for now, that is small, but not privately owned, the new pharmacist had difficulty with obtaining my prescriptions. the pharmacist was very rude and had consistently messed up the prescriptions. Walgreen pharmacist was very unprofessional. a couple of times I went in for other things, both times the cashier was not nice and not at all welcoming. the whole store is very unwelcoming. I will never again go to walgreens for anything. I stay with local as much as possible. Note: my current pharmacist is not close to my home though walgreens is. I really like small and private, not anything owned by big corporation. I know folks who are doing well with rite aid and other places, just not walgreens.

I so dislike having to go to this store that I’ll do whatever possible to avoid it. There’s always a long wait at the one cashier up front. I’ll take Bartell’s across the street anytime.

I really only go to this Walgreens to use the RedBox out front (because there are two of them!). Though what I typically use this Walgreens for is medical supplies and photos, I’m sure it good for other things as well.
I will say that this Walgreens (I think because of the location) can have some sketchy people out front and in the parking lot; that part can make me a little nervous sometimes.

I approach the cashier, head held high, and rest my purchases on the counter to be rung up: a box of condoms, ky, two bottles of wine, stockings, and some chicken broth.
The elder who is cashiering looks over my purchases thoughtfully as she starts ringing them up and without looking at me says, «Well, it looks like one of us is going to have a good weekend.»

I like the pharmacy here, which is the only reason why I come back. It’s a lot faster than Bartell’s and the drive-​thru option is great. I will also forever appreciate the fact that they expedited my prescription when I came in after having my wisdom teeth removed. I had gone to Bartell’s first and was told it’d be one to two hours to get my pain meds. With the drugs wearing off, that wasn’t going to cut it so I headed over to Walgreen’s. They initially said 30 minutes, but once they saw that I was bleeding from the mouth, they gladly rushed everything and I got my prescription in 10 minutes. Thanks ladies, lol.
HOWEVER, the rest of the store sucks. The cashiers are painfully slow and totally don’t mind having a 10 minute long conversation with 8 other people waiting in line. A lot of random people also trickle in from the bus stops nearby and there’s almost always someone lurking outside ready to hit you up for some spare change or a cigarette. I’ve also seen someone back into another car in the parking lot and then drive off. Every now and again they’ll have a deal on some cosmetic products, but Target is almost always cheaper anyways.

They wouldn’t honor my $ 1 off Walgreens coupon and couldn’t explain why the register wouldn’t accept it

Store is nice and if a line forms someone comes to help out. Staff is friendly and always help me find what I need. The only thing that is bad is the bums hanging out asking for change, it gets annoying when you get asked two times by the same one asking for money…

I had a very sweet old Filipino man try to sell me chocolates. I told him I was sweet enough and that made him laugh. In his defense it was a very stellar deal!
I like this place.

I go here for odds, ends and everything in between. Regular run of the mill drug store, BUT on the plus side, they play awesome music!

Note to self:
Never… NEVER go back here
Xoxo,
My sanity
PS: two stars instead of one because of the $ 2.50 Beef Jerky

Save time and money and don’t go to Walgreens downtown for passport photos.
I went there to get Canadian passport photos and everything seemed to go well, the girl used their machine to select the country for the specific rules, etc. I sent my application via fedex and it was denied because of the photos.
The photos did not have a stamp on the back, had shadows on my face and were the wrong sizing. I should have checked all the details but if Walgreens has a fancy machine that tells the user how to do it I figured the user could do it correctly. I’m out the fedex courier charge.
After all this I went to the post office and asked the passport photo lady about the Walgreens photos and she said he is constantly rejecting them for US passport photos because they are always of poor quality.

What? Really?
This Walgreens is so not scary.
One blustery, snowy day I tried to hit up the Bartell’s across the street, but they had closed and sent their employees home, apparently afraid that the 1 inch of snow on the ground was going to prohibit them from making it home safely later in the day. Walgreens was open.
Another time, I tried to go to Bartell’s to use their nifty photo machine. It was broken indefinitely. I went to Walgreens.
Walgreens is no longer the back up store, but the official go to place for my drugstore needs when going to the Rite-​Aid by my place isn’t convenient. What? Okay, fine, Walgreens is my version of a Baby’s Mama. When my girlfriend isn’t available, I’ll always have her.

the neighbor hood is a lock your car neighbor hood. Just get in the store and don’t dally in the parking lot. Put your bags in the passenger seat, if you have mace make sure you know where it is in your purse before going in. It’s not SO bad that you put the mace in your pocket for easy access.
There are a LOT of sales on non perishables like Soy Say bottled sauces and organic canned veggies so like everywhere else LIKE White Center the stuff i wanna buy is on sale because nobody else wants it. Really clean though.
