Walgreens

I have used this Walgreens for wine, misc household items and all prescriptions. The mgr delivers my prescriptions to the Quarter. I have always been welcomed — The people are friendly and I always see the mgr working on the floor doing whatever is necessary to make his store better. It is my favorite Walgreens.

This pharmacy is NOT open 24 hours as advertised. It was closed at 7:30pm on a Monday.

Convient location. Not all, but some of the staff is questionable. Pay attention when getting rung up here. I had earned $ 3 register bucks and realised the cashier may have forgotten to give it to me. When I went back inside to inquire, the cashier was extremely annoyed that I had caught her «mistake» and tossed the paper that was sitting by her register at me saying «here’s your three bucks!». Umm yeah, that was not a tip lady… Lol.

Corner location with parking lot that is kind of tight. People okay with big selection of items across the board. Have not used the prescription service. As most Walgreens, higher prices, but convenient.

This review is for the pharmacy. The store is excellent. Very convenient location. The pharmacy staff is over worked, very rude and do not have time to talk with me about my prescription. My doctor wasn’t sure if the medicine he prescribed me was covered by my insurance or not so when Walgreens tried to charge me 217 $ for a stomach acid reducer I wanted to know why. She told me it was covered but the charge was still that much and wouldn’t explain to me why or EVEN WHAT THE MEDICINE WAS. She wouldn’t tell me what the medicine was so I can figure out why it cost so much. Turns out, ITS NEXIUM!!! It’s not obscure and I can get it for 17 bucks on the shelf. I just needed a conversation with the pharmisist about my meds but that was never offered. She gave me an attitude of «are you gonna pay or not» and I said «no, not for stomach acid, I’ll go buy some peppermints and deal with it.»

well, the store is good, staff is competent and generally friendly and nice, The pharmacy, I would not be able to say the same. they are always busy, expect mistakes and expect to wait, and wait, and wait and wait. I have had them incorrectly fill an RX twice, one time it was the wrong pills in then bottle labeled correctly.

The worst. You can wait 30 minutes just to drop off a prescription. Then another 30 minutes to pick it up. The staff is surly, not helpful and can be unpleasant. Unless this is your only choice I would go somewhere else. If you do have to use this pharmacy have your doctor call the prescriptions in.

The retail part of the store is fine– it’s a Walgreens, it’s the same as any other large Walgreens. The pharmacy is generally woefully understaffed, though, so give yourself a solid 30 minutes to pick up any prescription. The staff is nice and I feel badly for them. This is a management issue.

Terrible, terrible, terrible. And they wonder why the CVS is opening a block away to the delight of all forced to use this craphole of a store.

This Walgreens is quite strategically placed; as it’s on the corner of ‘everything & somethings always happening’ blvd. I mean there’s NEVER a dull moment on this corner. Let’s not talk about the various bars, taverns & chill-​spot just a few paces north & south of here. But i digress.
Overall this is a regular degular (yes I said DEGULAR… lol) less the extraneous activities on the outside. This Walgreens has a steady flow of traffic & the staff/​cashiers tend to be swift in handling of customer transactions.
Quick complaint: Most recently, as in 5.3.13, I utilized the iPhone app to upload & send for printing some photos. Uploaded & in the midst of processing, I was told, via email, they’d be ready at 7:22am the next day, 5.4.13, as I uploaded the image after 10pm the night of 5÷3÷13. No problem. Well 8am that next day, 5.4.13, I went to pick up the pics & after much shuffling & searching, the photo clerk stated there was no ink/​print cartridge. She summoned the manager who was able to confirm the lack of a replacement ink/​photo cartridge (she even went to the stock room to check). Hmmmmmm that’s no good, as uploading there was my last ditch effort.
So all in all, great for quick pickup items, not so much for reliability of photos.

I LOVE this store. Every time I go here pretty much everyone that works in the store goes out of their way to be cheerful, friendly and helpful. I agree that the pharmacy is a bit overwhelmed, which is why I only give 4 stars. New management must have come in since the last reviews. I’ve been coming since I moved to the Marigny in September ’12 and am very happy to have this store available because there aren’t many other choices for everyday goods nearby.

This use to be the worse Walgreens ever known to man in New Orleans Louisiana but now that they have a new look and a new feel. I know things have gotten better.

For a Walgreens, this place isn’t that bad. If you live in the Bywater, you know that prices for anything are inflated and crazy. That being said, this place is the only good option to grab some frozen food, beer, and soft drinks. (3 essential items for a bachelor) I tired of spending $ 3 for a 2 liter of soda, $ 20 for a 18 pack of beer, and $ 11 for a frozen pizza. Those prices are crazy and the places close to Bywater can do it because no one has a car. So jumping in your car and going to Walgreens makes perfect sense to me. The milk is decent priced as well.
The customer service here isn’t good, it isn’t bad either. They just do their job like they hate their life. I don’t really blame them due to some of the stuff they have to put up with. Being in prime location of where you see some of New Orleans craziest people, I think they deserve a little slack.
Lastly, I know there are many of you who hate supporting corporate America. I’m shopping here because the little guys close to Bywater are greedy. There is no way a to justify a 20 oz. Pepsi costing over $ 2. So I’ll give my money proudly to corporate America over local greed. Also these little stores try to cut corners more than the big guys. I know an employee at one where the owner fired him and then refused to give him his last paycheck. I don’t see how he doesn’t have the money when that owner charges $ 6 for a half gallon of milk. You think in a free market system, people would try to compete with the prices of the guy down the road, but for some reason they just all keep inflated prices and try to fleece the local people that support them. So that is my soap box review.

For some reason, there are two listings for this Walgreens. And that sucks because my review is on the other one, and I was all happy to be the first to review it. But I guess Stan S. gets that title on this listing :(Oh well. I’m gonna post my review on this listing too, because I don’t want anyone to be swayed by the ridiculously forgiving ratings. So, without further ado:
Shittiest fucking dump with the worst damn pharmacy EVER. Have fun waiting in line for like half an hour just to drop off a motherflipping prescription.
I hate this place so hard, but it’s close to my house and so they get my money. GRRRR I HATE YOU, ST. CLAUDE WALGREENS!!! YOU SUCK! AND YOU NEVER HAVE MY PRESCRIPTIONS!!! I HATE YOU!
At least they finally started stocking beer.

Your basic urban Walgreens, it could be a lot cleaner and the staff always seems to be doing something else when you need them, but if your in a pinch for something, here it is. Big plus, they have their own parking lot and often there is a security guard present. Getting in and out of the parking lot requires a little thought as it’s located on the intersection of two busy streets.
