Walgreens

"This Walgreens pharmacy is awesome. I have been in here repeatedly and the same woman, Tasha, is always greeting at the pharmacy and is super friendly. When I came in for my vaccine recently, she literally raised her arms and said "Woo, vaccine!" which put a smile on my face. She was also the one who gave the shot, lucky me! This type of friendly customer service at a chain pharmacy, let alone most places nowadays, is hard to come by. There are people milling about in the parking lot, but there's a security guard posted just inside the entrance for good measure. I love that it's also near a bank and grocery store so I can get everything done in one trip."

"I've been a customer here for years. Sometimes medications do take a few hours, but it is a busy pharmacy, so I try to be understanding. I've really not had trouble, mostly grab what I need, pay and leave. Now, it looks like I'm joining the one star club. I went here for my monthly medication pick up. Apparently, there's been some changes as to whom they want shopping in this store, which it has been made fairly clear my business is no longer welcome here. Of course, there are no signs outlining this, and it is selectively enforced. I carry a backpack while out doing my errands on foot and cycling. Upon entering, I was stopped by security at the front and this was said to me: " Hey you! You can't be in here like that!" Huh? Like what? Totally bewildered, I explained I needed to get my prescriptions, which are time sensitive. Again, I was told by security I couldn't be in here. I am a short woman. How am I a problem? He told me to take off my backpack, which had some important things in it. There were people in the store with tote bags and large purses. The guard was rude and acted like he was doing me a "favor" and said he would "watch my bag", not quite…If it wasn't prescriptions I really needed, I would have just left and went elsewhere. I had to take a risk I should not have to. I was forced to leave my stuff in a high traffic area where it could have been easily stolen. I even mentioned this to the pharmacist, a nice lady, and her jaw dropped. Of course upon leaving this store, what do I see? My bag not watched and a customer standing too close to it! I managed to grab it and fortunately nothing was taken, but this is going to be a huge liability for the company if someone's stuff does get stolen. If this is how this store treats paying customers, soon they won't have any! I'll be transferring my prescriptions elsewhere, where I'm not treated like a criminal! TRANSFER YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS Y'ALL! SHOP ELSEWHERE, WHERE YOU WILL NOT BE PROFILED! Not sure if corporate will respond, but at least I can save folks some grief. They're free to run their store the way they want, and we're free not to shop there."

"I had an amazing experience scheduling and getting a vaccination at this location. Walgreen’s online scheduling is more efficient than some of their competitors - I was able to easily drill down to the vaccine, date, and location that I wanted. I was able to easily reschedule. The best part though was the person who delivered my shot. I believe her name was Kay Kay and she is a consummate professional! Vaccine was delivered quickly and with no pain at all - I literally didn’t feel the needle! Thank you, Kay Kay!"
