Walgreens

In the Walgreens store I had an okay experience, but afterwards I was disgusted by them. In a nutshell, after making my purchase I left the Walgreens (about 9p) and went to the neighboring Abel’s to hear the live music. Before I got to Abel’s I got a call on my cell phone and sat down to talk with the person (at this point I was technically on Abel’s North property sitting in the parking lot). However, for whatever reason, the staff at Walgreens called the cops on me for being a «suspected vagrant.» This was news to me, as I am clean-​cut and I was dressed in an untorn t-​shirt and shorts, which were also fairly new. So, I was sitting in the Abel’s parking lot when a cop cruiser pulled up to me and politely told me that Walgreens was thinking that I was going «to setup camp» outside their store (implying I was homeless). After giving me the once over the cop said «Hmmm, this is strange to me too, you don’t look to be overly intoxicated or down-​and-​out; Can you just do me a favor and not go back to the Walgreens?» I happily agreed and the police left without further incident.
I now am going to contact their corporate office and complain that I am not a vagrant and am gainfully employed at my full-​time job. Again, I don’t look anything like a «bum,» so I’m not sure why I got hounded by them. Nonetheless, I won’t be returning to this Walgreens, or probably any others. Their prices usually suck and I can get better at my local HEB or CVS.

I’ve been in a lot of Walgreens stores, but I have NEVER gotten such friendly service before! The employees were helpful and actually seemed to like working there! I will be back!

This is a typical drug store with prices that are usually higher than a local grocery store for most items but it is convenient. One big plus for this store is that they often run Blue Bell ice cream on sale for 2/​$ 8. This is great price and other Walgreen’s have it 2/​$ 9. We always stock up when they are having it on sale.

I prefer this Walgreens to most other drug stores in the area because of the pharmacists. They are both always happy and down to Earth.

I’m a CVS girl through and through. The one right by my house. They have a great rewards program, a fantastic selection of products which are usually on sale once a month and it’s clean.
Reviewing a Walgreens is sort of ridiculous. No one cares. Except you should! This particular Walgreens was dirty. The merchandise was scattered everywhere, including on the ground. They were missing quite a few main stream items like Gain laundry detergent. Everyone sells Gain! The part that bothered me the most was the lack of cleanliness though. If I’m paying a premium ($ 8.99 for a tiny Tide bottle) I would like for it to be clean! It literally had dust all over it.
You know, I really don’t care, it’s a Walgreens. It just had that Dollar Store feeling. Except nothing was a dollar. And it was dirty. And things were on the floor! Two stars for Cameron who works as a cashier and has a cute smiling picture next to him with his «weekly picks». Hold on to Cam Walgreens, he’s all you’ve got!

I know, why review Walgreens, right? Well, it’s because this one rocks. The two pharmacisits are both really nice and smiley (though there used to be a mean assistant lady, but she seems gone now), the check out people are always friendly (but too young, ½ of them can’t check out people with alcohol), and the selection of beer, wine, and stupid knick-​knacks is never-​ending.
Just wish this one was 24 hours. I hate having to go to Duval/​183 for prescriptions at 2am.

I’ve found myself going to walgreens more and more often for the little things that I would normally pick up at the HEB or a conv. store.
Last week I stopped in for some Advil (well their store version) and at the checkout the lady was kind enough to remind me that they were buy one get one free. Rock on! I wouldnt have known anything about it, but thats great customer service.
Today I stopped in for a 2 litre bottle of soda and it was 1.20 (including tax) — would have easily paid that for one of the little bottles at a conv. store.
I’ve become a fan… given that there are like 4 of them in a ½ mile radius (literally) — Im guessing other people are fans too.
