Walgreens

(This IS ONLY FOR THE PHARMACY and only for the PHARMACY MANAGER and his techs!) They all are remarkable at the job they do and go far and beyond what is expected! Highly recommended as your next pharmacy!

Not only is our neighborhood Walgreens a dump, but this morning I was woken up by someone on the roof throwing steel beams onto the ground! It was soooo loud someone called the police and they came and supervised the rest, drastically decreasing the noise. Not only does this store leave much to be desired, but management clearly doesn’t care about the neighbors.

The only only only reason I come here is because of the Chase ATM and the fact it’s a 2 minute walk from my back door. They lock damn near EVERYTHING up so you need to get someone to help you for basic things like antacids, yeah I need someone to unlock the TUMS. Dude, I know this hood was bad not too long ago but fuck man I shouldn’t have to bother someone because I have heartburn! It’s so annoying that I have actually walked out and walked over to the Walgreens over at the corner of Kimball and Fullerton. Same neighborhood and it’s not locked up like Fort Knox. A1 shithole.

old, out of date, Never seem to be stocked, ever. It needs to be converted into the newer model with the extra food stuffs and longer hours. Only reason I go to this one is bc it’s walking distance. the staff are friendly enough. But really, I can’t wait to move out of this crappy neighborhood.

This Walgreens needs an update. Although it has everything I need the store is pretty rundown. They do have two redbox machines out front and a chase ATM inside but otherwise it needs some TLC.

Nothing good, nothing bad about this location. Definitely not the fanciest and better selections for Walgreen’s in the area, but I’ve never had an issue with this location, outside of the occasional long line with one person ringing up customers. If you’re located close to this Walgreen’s, you’ll get your standard selection, but if you have access to the one on Milwaukee, I’d suggest going there.

I will never understand how one of my friends can spend 2+ hours shopping in Walgreens. Good thing she moved out of the neighborhood, because coming here with her was painful. I only come here because it’s convenient. Most of the time I walk here but every now and then I stop in on my way home and if you come before the WIC center has closed, the parking lot is chaos. Actually, it’s chaos regardless, but it’s even worse when WIC is open.
I went the other day and the cashier refused to acknowledge me. In fact, she seemed really upset that I had interrupted her conversation with another employee that she failed to notice I wasn’t paying with a credit card until she FINALLY looked in my direction. I’m not above speaking to anyone, but I purposely stood there with my hand out looking at her just to see how long it would take her to realize I wasn’t paying with a credit card.
On the upside, if you’re looking for a card in spanish you will have PLENTY of options! I know, often times the selections are piddly elsewhere, but not here. I’m totally serious, if your parents only know spanish you will have a huge selection to choose from here. That is a plus, right?
I’ll continue coming here, begrudgingly, only because it’s walking distance and I don’t want to lose my parking spot. Otherwise, go to the one on Milwaukee & Armitage. Just as insane of a parking lot, but a MUCH nicer store.

my friend picked up a tube of lysine (chapstick-​type stuff) here for me and when i opened the box at home, it was empty! this place is so awful, you have to check packages before you buy them to make sure there’s actually something in there.

There are two pages for this Walgreens, so I’ll give them both 5 stars. Nice people, wine, beer, etc. Good to go.

it a ok place to shop

Congratulations Jenny Z, you’ve got a talent for writing reviews that sound like they should come out of a crotchety old man. Disregard everything he said.
This is easily my favorite Walgreens in the city. The staff is really nice and always helps you find the best deal.
There is a clearance section in the back there I strike gold at least once a month. I think this Walgreens is better than the rest, which is why I bothered to review it at all.
Armitage Walgreens, props.

It’s a Walgreen’s, right? Should be fairly standard, like any other giant chain, but noooooo. This Walgreen’s is «special» and not in a good way. I suspect that this Walgreen’s actually exists in another dimension and that the doorway serves as some sort of portal to apothecary hell. I can’t come up with any other explanation and I’ve tried, believe me.
One shouldn’t feel as though one is going to be mugged/​assaulted upon entering a drug store, but you do at this one. If you manage to successfully run the gamut of criminals that loiter in the parking lot, you will witness one of the filthiest retail stores you have ever seen. This is the kind of place where EVERYTHING is locked up, so assistance is needed to get to even basic items. This Walgreen’s is locked up tighter than a bank vault.
The employees even seem to be unhappy. There isn’t an overt hostility or unwillingness to help, it’s more like an unhappy acceptance that they are doomed to toil in the most horrible drug store in the city. This lends credence to my theory that this is, in fact, not a drugstore on this plane, but rather a literal drug store from hell where employees must labor until they’ve atoned for some horrible sin. It is depressing just to enter the place.
The head pharmacist that used to be there was just a terrible man, screaming in frustration at clients and bearing a permanent grimace upon his face, so 1 extra star for the fact that he is gone. The current pharmacists are very nice, but behave as though they are just serving time until Walgreen’s takes pity on them and moves them to another location. An unrelenting miasma hangs over this place like a funk. There is no escaping it.
Out of control teenagers frolic throughout the store, cursing at the top of their lungs and tossing items back and forth over other customers heads. It’s like a hangout for them. I’m just waiting for the day when I’m cornered and savaged by one of them as I innocently try to locate bath soap or something. Even the magazine racks seem to have given up hope as they are perpetually at least 1 week behind. Need a two week old Us Weekly? THIS is the Walgreen’s for you!
Convenient as I live ½ a block away from it, but unless you are bound as I am by geographic convenience, avoid at all costs. I’m genuinely afraid that someday, the portal will shut when I’m inside and I’ll be trapped here, in the Walgreen’s from hell, for all eternity.
