Walgreens

HORRIBLE service. First off I go in to buy stationery bc I was told there is s «stationery aisle»…it is stacks of plain white paper and legal size envelopes. There is no real stationery there. Change the name of the aisle or carry stationery. Then I want deodorant… it’s locked up, so I have to wait in a long line for 10 min and ask to get someone to unlock it bc no one is around in the store to help except the checkout guy. He then says someone will be with me in the aisle. No one came, so I left. CVS always has ppl there to help and their deodorant isn’t under lock and key. And they have real stationery. Goodbye Walgreens. P. S. I notified the manager w a call– she didn’t much care and my guess is she also didn’t go on the floor to help either

What a nightmare of a store. Shelves unstocked and only one overworked cashier to serve a line of customers that was at least 10 people deep. The lack of customer service or just plain caring was palatable. Adding to this the zombie-​like nature of most of the customers and you got a recipe for a nightmare. Stay away!

Stopped by on my way to eat and the restroom was horrible. There was paper on the floor and no paper towels to dry hands with. Grabbed a few items and then proceeded to check out. The red haired lady had a funky attitude and was annoyed by everything.

Staff refused to honor the price tag on a folding chair for $ 14.99 because it scanned at $ 21.99. I had to get the manager to come and over ride it — not very cooperative. Turns out they had torn the $ 14.99 off of all but one of the chairs in trying to take advantage of the demand for these items during Jazz Fest and missed the one that I found. I won’t be shopping there or any other Walgreens for that matter.

The pharmacy at this Walgreens is outstanding!!! Each time I come they are friendly and they go out their way to assist me. This is a perfect location for me since I live a block over.

Extremely sketchy… I’m being overdramatic but seriously, avoid this Walgreens. We were waiting for the ATM for what seemed like an eternity, and later discovered that the young man hogging it was testing out a stolen debit card but failing miserably. The Walgreens also ran out of Jazzy passes (streetcar).

Lots of stuff. 24 hours. Decently clean and organized. But slow rude cashiers. Also there is a «500 points if we don’t ask for your rewards card» sign. Visited twice, didn’t ask me either time… I called them out on it, and then they said they did ask… Ughhhh. Annoying.
Note they sell pralines for $ 2.79, but other souvenir shops have them for $ 2.

Walgreens on Canal, it is a New Orleans landmark. The entrance is positioned so that it is on the corner of the block. It is striking; the type of building that evokes thoughts of Art-​Deco and makes you want to take a closer look.
During the day, the building is notable. In the evening, when the exterior lights come on, it is a sight to see. The neon lights surrounding the outside of the building are primary colors, designed to draw your eye directly to the front door.
When you go inside, of course it is like every other Walgreens. You know what you are getting. The selection is pretty wide and they have most of what you need. I feel like the prices in this store maybe higher than in the suburbs, but I have never remembered to compare it.
I have never had a bad experience here, the staff seems suitably bored, and this store can get quite crowded.
If you want to make a stop in the obligatory photo fest that is New Orleans Tourism, stop by and take a picture of the Walgreens on Canal Street.

Don’t buy your milk here. The «newest» milk they had was 10 days expired. The oldest milk they had was 42 days expired. That is really messed up and not safe.

I love Walgreens! I try to find one in every city I visit; the hours are convenient and they always have what I need! And the service is always great… until I visited this one. In such a busy city I can’t imagine it would be hard to find cashiers with people skills. The cashiers here seemed angry and totally rude! I bought the reuseable Walgreens bag and almost had to bag my own items after purchase! It was unpleasant and disappointing. I will still go to Walgreens, just not this one.

On 2 separate trips to New Orleans now, this Walgreens has proven to be indispensable. Staying in the French Quarter is fantastic for a lot of things but not for any real kind of practicality.
Located just across Canal, this Walgreens was only a few blocks from the hotel & had all the basic necessities for an out-​of-​towner visiting a few days to a week. Most notably this last time, they had rain ponchos.
The 2^nd day of Unilocal Spring Break brought thunderstorms the likes of which a Californian like myself rarely sees. No problem. While I was here getting energy drinks, I also grabbed ponchos.
This Walgreens isn’t particularly exceptional compared to any other Walgreens, but it’s all about location, location, location. I know next time I’m back in town, if I’m staying in/​near the French Quarter, I’ll be back at this Walgreens getting the stuff I need.

This Walgreens visit was more for my friend trying to find a bottle opener as a souvenir (he didn’t find the right one). The place looked clean and organized since I didn’t see anything scattered. This was one block away from the CVS so good place to come to if CVS didn’t have what you needed. It seemed like this place wasn’t as busy as the CVS one block away. I wonder why… but it probably had to do with the fact CVS was pretty much on the same street as Bourbon Street which would be the first thing everybody saw. Anyways, this was an okay place to grab some essentials.

Some good prices, some bad. Easy walking location, horrible location if you need parking.

Amazing on the outside but kinda crappy on the inside. Terrible selection of everyday items. I would stay out of here unless you forgot something at home that you cannot live without.

If I wasn’t from Chicago and knew that Walgreens was based out of Deerfield, Illinois, I would think this was the Flagship store. And that it hasn’t been changed since 1957! (see pics)
I mean, surely this Walgreens was a Woolworth’s previously. Can you smell that old Walgreens’ smell of roach spray and cheap cosmetics? The new stores don’t have it anymore, but surely it resides here as a monument to Walgreens past.
If I wasn’t afraid of getting run over by a New Orleans’ street car, I would’ve bowed down in the middle of Canal. We’re not worthy! «Woolworthy!»

OK, need something in a pinch and this is a great place to have around but don’t plan on getting any great deals or being dazzled by the clerks. The service is consistantly poor and the store is cluttered and dirty. I live two blocks away so I find myself there more than I would like to be. I prefer the CVS a block further down Canal.

Cheap place for souvenirs.
