Walgreens

This Walgreens is cursed. I gave it two stars only because the staff is friendly, and the hex can’t be their fault.
I know it’s cursed because people outside always need money from me. Sometimes they run out of gas. Sometimes they need bus fare because they lost their wallets or purses. One guy asked for $ 40 so he could get a room for the night. I told him I too wanted to get away from it all, but instead I was buying my sick toddler some Ibuprofen. He was not impressed.
The bad luck occurs day and night around this Walgreens, so obviously there is a powerful and evil spell affecting all who pass by.
The security guard does his best, but he’s only one man. Today, for example, he had to deal with a homeless guy who insisted on laying near the doorway until someone called an ambulance. I’m not sure what was wrong, but it’s probably voodoo-​related.
Inside, the witchery continues. At the pharmacy, furious customers yell for someone to refill expired prescriptions (against explicit doctor’s orders). The staff spend twenty minutes explaining why that will never, ever happen. The other customers in line field text messages from angry spouses wondering why a quick pharmacy run is taking so long.
Think the front register is any easier? Nope. Chances are you’ll spend your evening watching someone pay in coins for a suitcase of Budweiser.*
But please don’t take my review as a slight against the staff. They deserve sainthood for what they put with. I hope the head honchos of Walgreens wake up every morning and thank God they have people who tolerate working in Cthulhu’s hovel for the damned and ill-​favored. I’d rather chew tacks.
*Wait. Didn’t that guy just ask me for gas money?

It’s walgreens. You have your typical Walgreens fare and your typical Memphis security detail. Nothing too special to review, except that this place is really well staffed to handle the amount of foot traffic they get on a regular basis.

If you have to hit up a Walgreens in the Midtown location, this is your place. They have a security guard on duty, so the pan handler situation is under control. You don’t have to worry about being followed around the aisles by someone begging for a coke like the one a couple blocks down at Union & McLean. It’s also much cleaner than the location at Cleveland & Poplar.
Aside from those details, it is your typical Walgreens. So grab a box– or five who’s judging?- of the dollar Lemon Heads and Boston Baked Beans in the bin near the cash register and have a grand ol’ time. Walgreens it up, yo!

I hit this Walgreens a great deal in the evening time. The cashier could talk to customers more like the managers.
