Walgreens

Management must have heeded the comments of the previous Unilocaler, Elizabeth B. VERY friendly, helpful staff, clean store, and exactly what I was looking for in an easy-​to-​find location. I dealt with both regular and pharmacy staff. And… whose idea was it years and years ago to put the pharmacy counter in the furthest back corner of the store? No mercy for us poor sick folk. ;)

I am a BIG fan of Walgreen’s. They were the first major drug store to realize that they could actually stand alone and do a great deal of business– that they didn’t need to be anchored to a grocery store plaza to draw a crowd of their own. The stores I have been to usually have a great selection, and generally employ a very competent pharmacy staff.
I have been a client of this (132^nd & Center) location since we moved back here in ’04, and it was great up until a year or so ago. The store is not as clean as it used to be– not long ago a man in line in front of me even found blood on a bottle of soda he was buying. The store staff is less than friendly, and they gossip and complain about other employees right in front of you at the register. This has happened twice while I have been there. Surprisingly, both times, it was a lady of advanced age gossiping about personal issues of other employees to a superior as if I wasn’t there. Very strange and unwelcome in my shopping experience. I have stopped going to this location, instead frequenting the drugstore across the street which has very high prices and a weak selection of items. I wish this Walgreen’s would get their act together so I could go back.
Please keep in mind that my review is solely regarding the store staff and not the pharmacy, as I have had no experience with them.

nice Walgreens, easy to get into from left turn onto center and a nice parking lot. they had what i was looking for and i didn’t have to keep looking. am pleased its so close to the new apartment. nice shopping area.

Visiting from out of town, the manager Jason and Mary in the makeup department were very helpful!
