Walgreens

There always seems to be an issue getting a prescription filled here. Some of the staff was helpful in explaining why whereas others were rude about it. After experiencing this multiple times I have had enough. Haven’t experienced these issues at CVS. Will avoid from now on.

I am in general a big fan of Walgreens, but I have to say that the Walgreens in Stoneham (specifically the photo department) left a lot to be desired. The first time I ordered photos to pick up at the Stoneham, MA location, I received an e-​mail that they were ready and went to pick them up. The girl seemed completely confused and it took about ten minutes before she could finally find all of my photos. Then today I ordered photos again and an hour after they were supposed to be finished I still hadn’t gotten any notification, so I called the photo department and was rudely told over the phone that there were many problems with my order. It then turned out there was actually one specific problem, which was that one of my pictures wouldn’t print on the size I’d ordered it in and needed to be printed on larger paper. Apparently nobody felt like they should let me know there was a problem until I myself called to ask. Additionally, the guy on the phone was very rude. Walgreens is a pretty great store, but steer clear of the Stoneham location. I recommend the Melrose Walgreens instead – the people there are amazingly friendly and helpful and have some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced.

So that crazy lady cashier who was ALWAYS here that I wrote about in my previous review, is long gone now. This has made my Walgreen’s shopping experience that much better. I no longer leave with three items in like seven different bags. Anyways, I am in here fairly regularly. I wouldn’t say the prices are amazing, but you can sometimes find a good deal. It is convenient to where I live and work, and has all the essential items a drug store should have. They also sell peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets that are an awesome snack. This is mainly the reason I come in here. So if you’re in the greater Stoneham area and need a drug store that is not CVS, this is the place for you.

Great store. I actually love walking thru this store. Everything is wikked easy to find and the woman at the makeup counter has coupons she is willing to share with you! LOVE IT
Parking lot can be crazy with oldies just backing out of spots without looking.
Drivethru is pretty good too

This Walgreens is much closer to me than CVS down the road, but I NEVER GO HERE. I am not a fan of Walgreens at all. I did go in here recently, and I told my better half that this place is like a «ghetto CVS». It’s true. It’s smaller, less selection, little messier, and just feels… ODD. I don’t like shopping here.
They did hook me up in a pinch once — huge snowstorm hit and no one had rock salt — but this Walgreens did and for that I was thankful.

How has no one reviewed Walgreens yet? I get EVERYTHING here!
Great local drug store that carries just about everything. I get all of my personal & bathroom goods here because they’re much cheaper than the grocery stores, department stores and even Target. They often have buy one get one free sales so it’s a good time to stock up!
The pharmacy is great! Not only do they have a drive through, but they use something called ePrescriptions, which means that when your prescription runs out, Walgreens will call your doctor to order a refill for you, saving you countless hours trying to get your doctor on the phone!
