Walgreens

Walgreens always goes on about how you’re in and out of Walgreens very quickly. Not here. I have wasted most of my breaks from work here waiting in line. It’s unbelievable. I go to Walgreens all the time. I mostly don’t mind waiting when there’s two or three people, but when there are over 5 people in line, something needs to be done. When it takes over 5 minutes a person for a transaction, something is being said. Come on, Walgreens.

I took my son to get his prescriptions filled.
Man alive, the pharmacy area was filled with people — and not well-​equipped for this volume of customers. It seemed like everybody in the store was there for prescriptions.
Much conversation occurred between my son and the pharmacy technician. Some of it was supposed to be «private,» but not so much here.
We’ve never, ever used this pharmacy, but the technician was trying to find my son in their database. NOT THERE. No, he never lived in South Carolina.
I’m way far away, and I can hear the conversation.
No, he doesn’t have insurance. Yes, here’s his address. Holy cow.
Aside from all of that, the technician was very nice and offered to find a way to lower my son’s cost for the prescriptions. That was incredibly gracious, in my book.
We went home empty-​handed, and my son went back a couple hours later to get his prescriptions.
I’m giving this an A-​OK because the technician tried to find a way to lower my son’s prescription costs.

i’m in this walgreens damn near every other day. its close to work and for some reason I treat it like a bodega, just without bodega quality but for the simple pleasure of running in and grabbing a red bull. I never used to do walgreens like this bc of the prices! inflation! buuuutt… they have a rewards card which is free and the prices you pay for the items that are marked down when u use ur rewards card are very comparable to those of target, so I don’t feel bad! they also have their «nice!» brand which is awesome and cheap for the same items that are triple the price. the employees are hit or miss, some super nice and the others are horrible

What can be said about Walgreens? They are convenient and reasonable. Ont his visit I was more concerned about picking up candy for my recent movie adventure. The location is great for this store as it is seriously on the corner of the AMC Theater and they even have a «movie candy» section. I am a fan and next time I venture to a movie I will stop by for some snacks!

Let me start by making a statement: Walgreens EVERYWHERE are a plague on humanity! A plague! They are on nearly every street in St. Louis (no shortage in Chicago either) and I can only assume it’s like this in many other cities across the country. They are ugly, they are ruining the environment, they are taking up valuable land, and they are expensive.
This particular Walgreens has the WORST pharmacy ever. I’m not even entirely sure there are any real pharmacists back there. I have waited 4 days for a prescription that I was told would be ready in 1 hour! This is absurd. Frequently they didn’t fill the prescription yet when you come in at the time it is supposed to be ready. On occasion I have even had them «lose» my prescription. How on earth is this possible? They don’t call when it is FINALLY ready either. You have to keep calling them. I hate when you have to do the job and don’t get paid for it.
Thank God none of my prescriptions have been a matter of life or death or I would not be here right now to write this scathing review. I can see why God kept me here — to spread the word about Walgreens! My life does have a purpose!
I will say the Indian woman running the photo department is the NICEST employee any Walgreens could ever ask for. She always talks to me and every time I see her she says I look exactly like her niece. It’s neat to know I have a twin out there somewhere! If only she could fill my prescriptions as well. I trust her far more.
