Walgreens

It’s a Walgreens. They’re all basically the same content wise. I’ve been tracking the circulars that come out and taking advantage of their specials lately since this location is on my way home. The staff is usually great though. The location works well since there are entrances both off of 190 and Girod. The only time I had a long wait was when an extreme couponer was confusing the cashier by trying to combine several coupons on her order. Of course, that was a time I was only going there for one or two things and was trying to be quick.

The line is always long. They are disorganized, medication is out, or always an issue. They are convenient, but I’m done! CVS on 59 will be my new home!

I’m reviewing the pharmacy, not the store. I’ve had my prescriptions here ever since they opened & have been pretty much dissatisfied the whole time. The car line to wait is ridiculous, but I could handle that if I knew my needs would be taken care of. Ha! The only reason I’ve stayed is b/​c of convenience. Tonite was the last straw! I continually have problems with getting my prescriptions filled here; there’s a wait, there’s a problem, they’re out of the medication, they’re whatever. Today, for instance, I called in two simple refills. Both were nowhere near the expiration date. My husband went to pick them up THREE HOURS LATER & ONLY ONE was ready. Why??! Who knows??? When I called to ask (10 minutes before the pharmacy closed), no one could figure it out. The helpful pharmacist on hand said she could have it ready in 10 minutes, but I couldn’t get there in time before they closed. (Ironically, it was a sleep aid medication!) I continually have problems with this pharmacy. Cindy at the 190/​Post Office Walgreens location is a much better bet. She has her act together and won’t «forget» your prescription. She’s sharp, knowledgeable, knows me by name and I can count on her. I’m done with this place; they don’t give a crap.

This Walgreens is typical of most Walgreens. It isn’t as nice as the one on 190, and it usually has more odd balls. I have had some very amusing conversations with other customers here, especially late at night.
