Walgreens

It’s like any other Walgreens, but it definitely has that «midtown» vibe.
If you live here, then I suggest this place vs. CVS. I don’t smoke, but this is one of the few pharmacies that I notice that still sells cigarettes. They also sell beer, which is nice.
This is my stop off for medicine, a quick snack or if I need something for the house real fast. I go here so much that the staff now knows me and is super cool to talk to and they are really nice.
I would suggest going to the drive-​thru to pick your meds and go late at night. If you are in-​store during the day, then avoid the pharmacy in the back at all costs. I suggest picking up early in the morning or extremely late at night (after midnight.) Because, the line can be extremely long and everyone loves to take their precious time checking out.
The biggest con has to be the people outside. There are a lot of homeless people that sit right out the front door. I try and help when I can, but being asked for cash every time I visit can be a little annoying. Especially when you get the «I just got out the military and my car broke down» routine. The same guy never recognizes me, but has tried the same gimmick on me for the past few years.

Best place to use coupons without cashiers putting up a fight. Always friendly and nice.

I mean, it’s a Walgreens, and grossly overpriced. However, the staff are what make this location great. They have a cashier that is fluent in Spanish and is an incredible asset to their store. Not only can she converse with any customer they usually encounter, but she is extremely friendly and knows more about Walgreens and their sales than any employee I’ve ever met. The security guards there are also friendly, everyone I’ve ever encountered at the Pharmacy and the photo counter are also fun to talk to. So, even though it is Walgreens and their prices are outrageous, I keep going back because the staff here are fantastic!
