Walgreens

Hands-​down; this Walgreens is the single biggest anchor of the busy Carrollton and Claiborne region. Always an active parking lot (bit like a video game) and amazing cross-​section of New Orleans culture, the stock inside is well maintained.
The pharmacists are a-​mazing with their customer service and ability to maintain calm amidst variety of customer ailments and requests.
They employ off-​duty NOPD or private security detail after hours.

This is yet another basic Walgreens. Entry and exit from the parking lot have improved as the road construction has cleared up for the most part. Parking is shared with Roberts Market next door. The parking lot is well lit, and there are plenty of spaces. Very handicapped accessible. Clerks are occasionally disgruntled. The store is clean and the floor is for the most part free from debris. Restrooms always seem to be in need of attention. This is one that is open 24 hours a day/​7 days a week.

WORST PHARMACY EVER! They are slow, forgetful, and very impolite. Avoid this pharmacy unless you don’t mind wasting two hours away here.

Pretty decent Walgreens. 24 hours. good selection of the usual. very friendly staff.

been using various walgreens across various cities for 10 years. while at THIS walgreens earlier today, I saw two separate displays of excellent customer service. Two pharmacy staff members went the extra mile: one for a disgruntled customer, and one for me. The upset customer was clearly in pain, needing his pain meds and had been to several pharmacies to get his prescription filled to no avail. before mentioning any of this, the male staff member tried to problem solve with multiple solutions for the patient, he stayed calm, collected and smiled. eventually, the staff member was able to calm the patient down, made a few phone calls that in my experience, most pharmacy staff won’t do, and get the patient fixed up. in my experience, the insurance company was pushing back a regular refill even though my doctor had written the prescription with extra detail to circumvent the insurance company. the female staff member said, «let me try one more thing…» and then offered a back up plan. never in my experience has a pharmacy staff member offered a back up plan. then, she said if you’ll shop/​wait for about 15 minutes, i’ll get your refill for you. five minutes later — literally only five — she saw me waiting in the provided chairs and said, «you should be on your way home already. let me check on your refill.. . it’s ready, let’s check you out.» her attention to me was remarkable, and to every patient in line. i wish i had gotten their names, because they deserve praise, especially in a world were customer service is not only often lacking, but more often no longer exists. (in fact, just this week, i called my home insurance rep to ask a question and she acted like i was too stupid to understand her business, and when i said, «hey, i’m your customer, treat me with some respect,» she then replied, «you may be the customer, but you need me.» see what I mean about a lack of customer service?!) anyhow, visit this spot and expect wonderful professionals.

Worst Pharmacy I have ever encountered. The staff is not helpful– no matter the circumstances you will have to wait at least an hour & a half for your script to be filled.
I was once the second customer of their day, I had been waiting in line before they opened, and the pharmacist told me it would be two hours before it was ready. I asked for my script back and told them I would take it to the walgreens pharmacy down the street, which I did, and my prescription was filled at that location in less than 10 minutes. Save your self the trouble– just go to the other walgreens on canal and Carrollton or the one in the river bend.

This is the absolute worst pharmacy in a walgreens I have ever come across. Maybe in all of America. Even if you have to drive an hour away to avoid this place do it.

As Unilocal’s star guidelines so profoundly say, «Eek! Methinks not.» I have had absurdly frustrating experiences with the pharmacy staff here. Not sure why anyone would want to go out of their way to be bad at their job, but it seems like that’s what was going on here. I don’t want to over-​generalize because I only interacted with three staff members, but they were all rude to the point of appearing to actually enjoy making me a very unhappy customer. I asked to speak to a manager and was told that I couldn’t — not that there wasn’t a manager there, or that they were busy, but that I couldn’t speak to them. I certainly won’t be going back anytime soon.

This is a 24 hour walgreens with a 24 hr pharmacy.
I usually end up in here at night for some reason. The night crew is friendly and fast. I like this walgreens at night.
The same cannot be said for the day crew. During the day the pharmacy is awful. They do not answer the phone, the inside wait time is often an hour or more and the come back time is usually 3+ hours.
The place is clean and their clearance section has some pretty good deals.
The parking lot is ample and worse comes to worst you can always park over by Robert’s.
Mommy notes: Bathroom requires a code, pharmacy tends to run out of the reconstitutable antibiotics during cold and flu season, shopping carts are small and can barely fit 2 (small) kids.

This Walgreen’s is terrible!!! Everytime I go there, the only staff members that actually care are the managers and some of the beauty staff. Every other person that I have asked, «Is there some of this in stock in the back?» or «Could you show me where something is?» have felt too entitled and lazy to actually do their fucking job. They either refused to look, or just pointed, and said, «It’s over there.»
I have worked in customer service jobs all my life and this isn’t acceptable. If I acted like these employees at my current job, I would have been fired my first day.
And the pharmacy staff here are HORRIBLE. I was very sick after having oral surgery and came here to get pain meds and an antibiotic. I had not slept or eaten much in over 24 hours and was dizzy. I waited an hour for my prescriptions and when the pharmacy tech called me over, she said that they were able to fill the antibiotic, but not the pain med. Um, why not? Didn’t you talk to the staff at the dental clinic? Couldn’t you have asked them about both? She then said that my clinic was closed and I would have to come back tomorrow. I laughed in her face and said that I knew for a fact that the clinic was open for another hour and a half and that I was gonna stand right there until she felt like doing her job. I know that you’re busy but that doesn’t give you the right to do your job half-​assed. I called my dentist’s cell phone number and he said that he would speak to the tech. They said that wouldn’t work because they couldn’t verify. Okay, then he could call them from his cell phone. «No, we can’t verify that either, because it isn’t from the office.» Okay fine, I will have the office call you back!!!
The office called them back and they filled my prescription an hour and a half later. This entire time, I was miserable and in agony and only got my medicine because I persevered and refused to leave.
Seriously, fuck this place. Terrible, terrible customer service. The other Walgreens, by Carrollton and Canal is the same way. Avoid both at all costs.

Thank you Walgreen for being open at 2am when I need Excedrin, a pair of sandals and some Reese’s Cups. You may not be the cleanest, but you are there. And if I have enough time, I may even stay and hang out just to watch the crazy bum activity/​entertainment outside or inside your store.
You may have terrible services and your staff may be nice or naughty depending on the day, but that’s not why I need you. In this murky town where everything closes early, you are there for me. It would be nice if there were more, but I can’t expect much more. Just stay open. That’s all I ask.

Pharmacy is horrible! Whether its a long line or not, its going to be a LONG WAIT! At the pharmacy drive-​thru the employees do not even acknowledge you for 15 or more minutes… they literally walk past the window and do not even ask to help you for a very long time. They are SOOOO slow & not very friendly. The store is great with great employees with the exception of the pharmacy… they seem like they do not want to be at work! Horrible wait time!

Went in today for a flu shot. The sign outside proclaimed that flu shots were available. I was a bit concerned that the news media is proclaiming we have a national problem with the flu and the shortage of the medicine.
Treatment by the personnel was professional and nice. The wait was short and I got the sticky with no problem.
The store appeared to be cleaned and I found this Walgreen brighter and nicer than others.

The people in the store are really nice and friendly; though my interaction with them has been at the check out and at the pharmacy. I’ve gone in at odd hours before, and they’re still nice and helpful, especially the pharmacy people. They are always willing to help with pharmacy related questions, or if you need them to contact your doctor, they’re always willing to do so.
The only thing that I don’t like about this store is that they sometimes have a panhandler right outside the store that makes the entry/​exiting of the store awkward. The security guy tries to be good about shoo-​ing her off.
Note to drivers: It’s a little tricky getting in and out of the parking lot because there are a lot of cars that are going in and out of the prime front parking area. and some cars just zoom through.

Walgreens, sweet Walgreens. You’re always there when I need more milk, coffee, or cigarettes at 2 in the morning. When I’m out of litter, and the kitty is looking pointedly at my shoes, I love knowing that I can turn to you to save me from the wrath of my vindictive feline! I don’t know what it will be like once I graduate, but I have the feeling that we won’t part ways for a long, long time.

Basic walgreens. Parking is kinda crazy because it’s shared with the Ro’bert’s Market.

Ice cream, makeup, and energy drinks. That’s what I think when I think about walgreens.
Walking into this walgreens at 2 am on the other hand may also mean meeting up with some drunken weirdos followed by some story of a shooting in central city and a few cops running around but other than that it’s your standard walgreens.

It’s Walgreens. It’s open 24 hours. That’s why it’s better then average. It’s on my way from work. I can get chocolate at 2 am. Win-​win!

My go-​to pharmacy in New Orleans. Mostly due to location and name recognition, but they run a tight ship in the pharmacy department. My local Walgreens in Dallas messed up my insurance every other time I picked up an Rx. This location, however, has NEVER had trouble with my insurance. That alone is worth my patronage.
Super-​secret hint:
It is pharmacy policy to help customers in the drive-​through before helping those standing in line inside. Get in your car for quicker service.
