Walgreens

Kudos to the pharmacy department! Excellent customer service. Very professional and accommodating!!!

Very large, brightly lit and well stocked. This place was so clean! Even on a rainy day — I did not slip and slide as I entered the store. Staff were friendly and efficient. Keep up the good work!

Horrible service at the Pharmacy, I have been going here for years with the same prescription for the last 2 years.
My prescription is renewed automatically on a monthly pick up rotation, I’ll get a call from corporate automated system telling me my prescription was filled, I then drive to Walgreens. The associate at the window said she had nothing him her system for me, to which I showed her the call saying it was ready, she told me after 10 days that they put it back. Like I said I go the same day! Not sure why it wasn’t actually ready, she told me to go to the back of the line of cars. I told her I would return in a few hours. Not only did she not fill my prescription when I returns a few hours later she was ruder than the first time. There are two female employees in particular that have been substantially rude to me and many of my neighbors, including my mother. From yelling to slamming her phone at me, I didn’t appreciate. It was not the normal «Be Well» I get from al of the other associates.
I’m sad to say that I will be moving all of my prescriptions to CVS when it opens a few blocks away.

Can’t say that I’ve ever had a good experience here. I keep going back because they usually have what I need (except when I wanted a poncho before one rainy Jazz Fest), but I won’t make that mistake again!
The problem I have is with the customer service. It is hard to find anyone to help and no one is ever really that helpful! There’s never enough register lines open and I always get caught behind someone having problems and the manager is nowhere to be found, etc etc
What you think is going to be a quick and convenient stop will be the exact opposite here.

I will never come here again. They literally told me to take pepto bismol without even beginning to get to the root of my issue. Turns out is was salmonella, they didn’t have the slightest clue. This isn’t a real doctors office, it’s for flu shots and weight loss… Practically an advertisement for their cvs products. Go somewhere else, please, for your own health!

This is a well stocked, clean store with helpful, friendly employees but the length of the line (10 – 15 min avg) makes it a horrible experience.

This Walgreens sucks bigggg
customer service, managers arguing with each other in front of customers .the creepy rude guy that works nights the one who looks like Alvin from the Cosbys lol.

The cashier was the rudest woman I have ever met. She only checked out half of my stuff and when I told her the rest of the stuff on the counter was mine she said «well I guess you need to push it up then, we don’t have belts!» I was in shock she was so rude and I didn’t know how to respond.

Somehow this Walgreens is just different. Quick, easy in and out of the parking lot. When the lines are short, things are great. However, when the lines are long, they don’t seem to have enough cashiers, or people trained to be on the register. The cashiers (for the most part) seem to be slow at counting cash. For the most part, they are well stocked on the basics they are good at.
You know what to generally expect from a Walgreens. It is nice that the store is open 24 hours (I can’t speak of the pharmacy).

Actually a pretty good Walgreens. I’ve had god experiences with the staff (namely the photo staff), they have a good assortment of products typical of a Walgreens. And they actually have really good deals and a good selection of alcohol.

To me, this is like any other Walgreens with a couple of extra perks. Some of the staff is great, some not so much. Sometimes the lines are long, sometimes it’s not. Sometimes they are fully stocked and sometiems they are behind on their orders and you’re left not getting that very basic item you needed.
One person was comparing it to the Walgreens on Claiborne & Carrollton. I used to live by there so I used to vist that Walgreens almost daily and I can tell you that Walgreens is not better than this one. In fact, I distinctly remember the pharmaceutical staff being pretty much useless when I needed help with anything. I mean really, it was astouinding how little they knew or maybe they just did not want to help… eitherway, it was annoying.
However, a few extra perks with the Canal and Carrollton location:
–24 hrs — can’t be that
–The pharmacy line can be long, but the two times I’ve called to ask questions about a particular medication, the pharmacists was very helpful and seemed to know what he was walking about.
–The location is prime– really, it’s super convenient
— I agree with another, the night staff is friendly.

I visited this walgreens under threat of divorce due to an ongoing hacking cough that was keeping everybody in my house up. Since I was sick I was slightly more needy than usual and was helped by the doctor in the clinic, the pharmacist and a clerk stocking the over the counter medicine isle. All cheery, knowledgeable, and practical (ie I could tell/​sell you this but I am going to LISTEN to what you are saying and advise you on what you actually need). Two days later and I am at 96% thanks to them.
One word of advice, when I attempted to make an appointment for the clinic online it said that the clinic does not take appointments. When I arrived several people were there with appointments and not as walk-​ins. It could be that the max appointments had been set for that day or hour but that is not what it said online it just said it didn’t take appointments at the location. At least I think that is what it said. What do I know, I was sick.

I brought my grandmother here to get some makeup and believed it would be an easy in-​and-​out due to my usual experience with the pharmacy. My grandma wanted to get perfume, which is locked behind the cosmetology counter. We waited a solid 20 minutes for the manager. I would have left, but I am her only transportation and I wanted her to get what she came for. When the manager finally arrived, we let her know that her absence was noticed and she was so incredibly rude to us. She said we were low on her list of priorities. I had to ask her to stop speaking to my grandma in that tone. I understand that she has a job to do, but that job also includes customer service!

Love love LOVE the fact that this is a 24 hour Walgreenes. It was a glorious day when they announced the new hours, not very long ago. Being the night crawler I am, I’m always finding myself needing something out of left field at 3:23 am. And it’s usually items that have nothing to do with each other, like peanut butter and light bulbs.
It’s super close to my house, and I know that has nothing to do with you reading this, but I’m ecstatic about the fact that I can hop on the cruiser whenever the f I need to and head a few blocks down to Walgreenes to get my late night box of cereal and shampoo.
I’m not sure if I’ve reaped the benefits of having a rewards card, but I have it (meh). The staff has been pretty helpful whenever I needed them. And there’s also that hot chic that works in the pharmacy. Yes, I make it a point to make a round to see if she’s working, that girl’s got it.
Anyway…every now and then you’ll be greeted by a homeless person asking for EXACTLY 67 cents in change.
Sidenote: I’m always curious, whenever I’m asked by a homeless person for some obscure amount of change like 67 cents, in my head I’m like, «what are you THAT close to, to where 67 cents is the make or break point?» Like, you really think I have two quarters, a dime, one nickel and two pennies exactly to give? I think it’s funny.
Well, here’s to yet another perk of living in the first world, 24 hour Walgreenes!

Except for late at night I hate this walgreens. The night crew is pretty awesome and nice. The day crew… not so much. The day crew seems to always have a chip on their shoulder. I don’t know why. I’ve asked where things were or questioned which item was a sale item to literally be met with a grunt.
Their pharmacy is slow as molasses. I’ve had a doctor call in a script, called them 2 hours later to see if it was ready (it wasn’t) tell them I was going to come pick it up in 30 mins and show up 2 hours later to find it not even typed in yet. UGH.
I usually go out of my way to the one on Carrollton and Claiborne just to avoid these guys. Except in the middle of the night. Love the night crew.
FYI pharmacy part is NOT 24hrs.

I was not on the corner of Happy + Healthy at the Walgreens on the corner of Canal + Carrollton.
Somehow the cheery radio Walgreens commercials that promote grabbing your milk at Walgreens instead of speed walking to the very back of the grocery store burrowed into my brain, and just yesterday I thought to myself, «I should go to Walgreens to fetch my milk for my coffee since I’m trying to save $$ and the grocery store will just woo me into a full shopping cart and a gallon of regret.»
The wind was picking up on my quiet corner. I grabbed my raincoat just in case, hopped in my car, and booked it over to the the Walgreens. A few droplets fell from the sky, but I left the raincoat in the car because it should only take a hot second to grab the lait and leave. I do a little hop, skip, and a jump and there I am standing in front of the drink section and the milk is TOTALLY out. Completely empty… I look about in complete shock, and then hear the crackle of an impending deluge hellbent on drowning MidCity.
Damn. Prior visits were mediocre, occasionally dodging a homeless person every now and then near the entrance, long lines (pro-​tip: go to the makeup checkout). They keep a few stars for a $ 20 backpack chair that’s solid for festivals but there was only one left at the time.
I’m not hating on Walgreens as an entire brand, and there may have been milk in the back, I could’ve asked but was hoping to stay dry. It was a Tuesday around 11am. In the case of convenience, this was really inconvenient. I will most likely be back here, and will update you all on the milk situation.

This pharmacy has the worst service of all time. really — if you want to spend most of your day standing around with no service — this is the place to be.

New Walgreens on Canal & Carrollton, works for me. Great area. Easily accessible. Quick #inandout. Friendly staff. Parking always seems difficult. I guess folks are steering clear of parking in the nearby 1^st NBC lot, good idea… Me thinks they just might have #towingfever.
I like that this Walgreens has a very nice seasonal section… so here you’ll find lots of Saints, LSU, Mardi Gras items… this is great as only a few other Walgreens have ample areas such as this. Additionally, I like that there’s a plethora of items here that one would may not be able to find else where.
One annoying thing, is the restroom has a code placed on the door… Hellllllo when a girl’s pressed to «go», she’s gotta go.

This is a really nice Walgreens in a good location. I was actually in Mid City and craving lemonade, of all things, so I stopped in here to pick one up. There weren’t any long lines and the staff seemed efficient.
It’s basically the same as any other Walgreens.

There is always a security guard at this place, obviously because its located in New Orleans but his attitude is seriously rediculous. He’s so rude, never smiles, and assumes the worst from everybody that walks through the door. I guess being on canal street, it’s meant to be busy. But three cashiers at 11pm and there were at least 8 people in each line was a joke. Oh well. It’s Walgreens. If you need something here be sure to be extra friendly to the cop on duty, because he hates life!
