Walgreens

I go to this location from time to time because it is really close to me and they have a Chase ATM. There is not a ton to really say about this location, it’s just a very generic Walgreens. The parking lot has ample spaces and the store is generally clean and well stocked. The people in the pharmacy are nice and helped me out when I had some confusion regarding a manufacturer rebate /​coupon for a prescription I fill here.
All that being said, there is one thing about this location that bothers me and that is the fact that almost every time I have ever been here there is someone outside near the store entrance asking for money. I’m not a hard hearted person but whenever I get out of my car I remember that I will probably be asked. I don’t know why Walgreens doesn’t do anything about this because happens so often.

I generally like Walgreens, and prefer them to other stores like CVS and Rite Aid, but not this one. It’s got to be one of the worst Walgreens locations around, and that is partly their fault, and partly the fault of other people or customers. So, I’ve been forced to write a review, and when that happens, I’m longwinded, so enjoy my forewarning about this store!
First, the things that are their fault that make this location bad. They allow homeless people to sit RIGHT outside the door ALWAYS to beg customers for money on their way out. I’m not rich, and I don’t look close to it, especially when I get out of my 20-​y/​o car leaking water out the radiator because I can’t afford to fix it. In fact, they have a hell of a lot more money than I do, even if it’s only a nickel, since I have NEGATIVE money thanks to over $ 50 grand of student debt I’m repaying, and I will be living on Ramen for years to come. In the city, store managers let people get away with that, but I’ve seen them at other locations ask the beggars to leave, as any good manager should. It’s bad for business, and they should know it. Why poor people go to beg at the stores where most the customers are poor, I don’t know.
Second, the service sucks. I rarely want more than one thing, and I have to wait 10 – 15 minutes often because they will have one person working the line with 10 – 15 customers waiting.
Now, the only thing that makes this Walgreens suck that is out of their control is that they get a lot of customers with ridiculous requests, and those customers will hold up the line of 10 people in order to have their odd requests fulfilled. The other day, a guy bought 2 Mountain Dews for $ 4.88 and have the woman a $ 5 bill, which was reasonable. He got his 12 cents change. But then the idiot had to give her a $ 1 bill and the 12 cents back, so that he could ask for 88 cents to pay with exact change for some stupid-​ass reason, and created a whole bunch of confusion that caused him to get the wrong change, all because he’s an idiot. The day before that, it was a girl buying something cheap with a $ 100 bill who wanted the change back with 20 $ 1 bills and the rest in $ 5s! Then, just yesterday, it was a woman wanting to buy groceries with dimes, nickels and pennies. Thank god the woman behind her was tired of waiting and offered to pay the remaining balance so she wouldn’t be counting all day. Some of the customers in this store, I swear should audition for Walking Dead, because they are naturals, being brainless and all.

They have an elderly woman working in the pharmacy who couldn’t hear or read my name, phone number, etc. And deleted all my existing account info to make a new one with the name she heard. I had to wait days to hear that the insurance had been declined… Because they were filing on someone who didn’t exist and never did. When this was pointed out, I was asked if I was «sure I had never spelt my name like that.» pretty sure, guys. I’ve only had 25 years to get it right. They also failed to contact my insurance, which was verified by the insurance company, and walgreens lied to my face about it and got testy when I mentioned I’d called the insurance to check.
I’m switching before they kill me or I have to testify bc I saw the kill someone else.

This is your basic Walgreens been here for a while it could be a little bit cleaner and I only recommend going here as last resort especially if the CVS across the street does not have what you need.

This isn’t my favorite store; mostly the problem is with the other patrons. I’ve been hassled in the parking lot by panhandlers, cursed out by old people at the pharmacy counter for perceived slights, and harassed in the aisles by random dudes looking for a «date.» So I only stop in when absolutely necessary.
The store alternates between acceptable and dirty; they did a big refurbishment right before the CVS opened across the street but it’s already back to being slightly ratty.
The staff is OK in my opinion. But the store definitely needs better security

I used to live by this particular Walgreens years ago. It is not my favorite walgreens either.
The customer service here has always been rather lame. Not very friendly these employees are. The selection here is rather lame also. It is more like a convenience store except cheaper.
The biggest hassle out here is the fact that this particular walgreens is right next door to the Salvation army. Be prepared to get harassed by beggars asking if you can, «spare some change». I’m not trying to bad mouth the homeless, I’m just saying it gets kinda old when you have to deal with that every single time you go there.
In short not my favorite walgreens. Try the one on Carrolton and Claiborne instead.

I don’t expect a lot from a place like Walgreens. I know the prices are higher, but let’s face it: Walgreens is really just a super sized convenience store. What I do expect is the staff to GET OFF THEIR CELL PHONES and actually help customers. One employee was in the aisle, chatting away and ignoring me when I asked for help finding something. A second one was behind the register, talking VERY LOUDLY about going to the club. I’m completely flabbergasted by the complete lack of any kind of professionalism.

This place was down the street from a vacation rental we had. It was the closest thing we had to a grocery store, that we could find.
It had bacon and eggs in the cold section.
It’s a Walgreens… enough said.

I usually would not write reviews for these chain stores but this place was so bad that I decided it must be written.
I went to get my order of pictures that I had placed. They had emailed me and called me to let me know that they were ready. When i got there they were lost. No one could find them and they couldn’t redo the order while I was there. So I asked if I could get my two prints (69cents) for free since I now had to drive home and redo the order and come back another time. They were incredibly rude while speaking to me and said that they could give me 15% off but that was it.
I don’t even care about the money but the fact was they were insanely rude and it was their mistake. I will not go back there.

Stopped here to get a case of beer. Alas, no beer. It was a short trip.
They are conveniently located at a major intersection as Jean-​Paul mentioned. It’s one of the less shady-​looking businesses to stop at for a couple of items in this area. Of course, after realizing they don’t sell alcohol at this particular Walgreens (seriously, wtf?) I had to drive down the street to a gas station/​convenience store anyway.
I’d come back here if I needed chips, soda/​pop/​coke/​whatever you want to call it, drugs (the legal OTC kind, of course), etc.
Oh, and they are remodeling, but it’s still open for business.

Are all Walgreens the same? Not so much. This one is prominently placed at one of the busiest intersections in the city, but despite their heavy use their customer service stays level and some times above par.
I like to assess the nail couture here too — as in what the checkers are flashing. Nothing like it — — -
