This little gas station is the best. The customer service is so top-notch, and I honestly think the…read moreguy who runs this place is genuinely one of the nicest men I've ever met. He is so kind hearted and is just the friendliest. Every time my boyfriend and I take a visit, he always greets us so kindly. I always make sure to speak to him every visit, as he always does the same for us. He makes sure to ask how our day is going. This man is just so welcoming, so kind, and just over all a top notch fella. This little store is small, but plentiful-- they have tons of product in here, and the gas is a few cents cheaper here than across the street. I also appreciate that they are always doing what they can to maintain the area. A great little shop to go in. Truly a good meaning of "convenience store." This customer service provided here, is great.

Ol' Andy's. This place has been around as long as I can remember. Seriously, I've been in Bluff…read morePark for thirty something years and I never remember Andy's not being here. Believe it or not, I recall cigarettes and gas both being $1 here. For real. While Andy's holds a nostalgic place in my heart, it just has a tough time keeping up with the times. Not in an old' timey country store kind of way, but in a "somebody should take a paint brush to that place" kind of way. It has your normal gas station essentials, like gasoline and snacks. Sometimes, they even have little bundles of firewood.

Gets the job done. Everything they have here you can get at the Neighborhood Walmart for cheaper…read more The location is great, and the Publix nearby is far more expensive. Just depends on what you need! They have a fairly extensive frozen section, and good looking produce. I'm pretty sure Winn Dixie has been bought by Aldi... maybe this store won't be open much longer. It will be great to have an Aldi closer to downtown! I hope they replace this one soon.

I just wanted to ensure kudos & take the time to shout out *BEN!!!*…read more Ben, thank you so much for your assistance in trying & helping my dad get his phone back. I know that is not in your job description, but you saw the opportunity & went the extra mile for my Dad trying to get it back to him. We shop here regularly & we genuinely appreciate you!!

I stopped in to grab a couple things and wanted to see what Autumn/Halloween stuff they had…read more When I walked in the door, I was doubly greeted. First, with a friendly "Welcome to Walgreens" from Blake, at the register. Secondly, by his cologne that was overpowering the entire front of the store. I love perfume and cologne myself, so I'm not hating on him by any means. But as someone who has a father and stepmother who suffered with COPD for years, I am concerned for the folks with breathing difficulties that may be faced with that very strong scent. Any scent is difficult for them, as they're already struggling to breathe. Lots of employees were stocking the shelves during my visit. Compared to what I've experienced at another local Walgreens, these employees are on top of their work. I found a few things on sale that I hadn't planned on getting. Some of their Halloween and Autumn stuff is super cute, but overpriced in my opinion.

The pharmacy is so rude and uncaring. I have purchased my medication from here for years because…read moreit is so convenient to me, but I now will transfer my scripts to another pharmacy. Someone mentioned they are dysfunctional on another review and I would say that is the best way to describe them and then when you point this out and there is no resolution to the problem, they do not care, not try to figure out what went wrong. They are flippant and curt. Occasionally I have run into one or 2 who actually try to help you, but I think they probably were students. My complaint also includes the pharmacists, not just techs. The store is fine, nice and friendly.

I had gotten a very official connection to tell me I would go to jail and had a warrant on me for the first time ever but I would also have to pay some portion of my fees. The caller told me to stop by Walgreens to hand them the cash and scan the code he sent me for the state government department. I told him yes sir and I stopped by this Walgreens as I was driving to the State Department to meet with him downtown to not get handcuffed. As I walked up the lady serving at Walgreen to hand my money and send it to the State Department, she very kindly simply asked if I knew for sure it was real and then mentioned this had been happening as a spam for many already. She made me be curious and then she recommended for me to jump over to the Police Department and ask them to confirm. So I did so and the police confirmed it was a spam and I had no warrant for arrest at all. So I came back to Walgreens after to totally thank her for her wonderful help for me to not fall for that spam. Now I love this very Walgreens even more than any other options anywhere. So great.

This Walgreens Vestavia does not cater to people with "special needs"…read moreI went in yesterday and an employee named: MeMe insulted me. I whispered to Meme, over the counter and said to her, that I cannot reach out to use my left arm because It is semi paralyzed. I ask for her help with the photo machine, because I was also disabled with my right arm, because I have a ruptured rotator cuff and bicep there. Meme looked at me in disgust and pointed to the machine ! I explained to her again and she had the same reaction. I was embarrassed. I told the man at the register but he said there's nothing he could do! I think all disabled people should avoid Walgreens in Vestavia. Meme should be fired.

On 5/2 I saw a tall caucasion man across the store..I tried to catch up with him and when I got close enough he was about to turn another corner..by the freezer section..So I said "Hey manager" excuse me but do you have anyone to clean your buggy area and the front of the store..Inside is very nice and before I could finish the tall heavy white guy screamed..I dont appreciate you yelling hey manager I said I'm sorry you didnt have a badge on with your name and I've been trying to catch up to you. He stood tall over me and leaned in as to intimidate me and said "Well when you approach me you say, excuse me manager dont you ever approach me like that".. I said "I have apologized I'm not going to do more" he continued to rant as he walked off..When I got to the register the cashier saw I was shaken she asked was I ok I told her what happen she said he must be having a bad day because she had just spoken, I think she said Derrick not sure..She said Hey Derrick he said hey. back to her" She said she told him the bathroom needed servicing he said "that's not his problem"..Hey is a southern word vastly used in the place of hello no disrespect..just as y'all and ain't is used..I have never been treated like that in this store and the cashiers and I laugh together everytime I'm in there..Even the AA manager with afro and I have had convos from time to time.and laughed...I'm still shaken the reason I had to come on and let you know what happened.. I had just left church in Bessemer and by passed two stores and my home to come to Marinos..I'm not going to let him keep me out of there..But I will never approach him again and go the opposite direction because I am afraid of him now..Thanks for listening..hope it doesnt sound like I'm ranting and you see the picture..

This store was generous enough to allow my Kiwanis club the opportunity to do a school supply…read moredrive. They let us set up a table near the entrance and their customers could pick up a list from us to see what school supplies were needed. Some people got a list and picked up a few items when they did their shopping. Since mostly in the store is practically $1, it was easy for people to donate without breaking the bank. The store is clean and organized. This isn't the closest dollar store to me, but I'd come to this one for the reason of the support they gave to my Kiwanis club.

3rd Avenue location Mgr consistently has a terrible attitude and over the years I've ignored her…read morehostility but no longer. I've been a customer for over 5÷ years and Corporate needs to know how customers are treated by her. Now, it seems that her hostile attitude has influenced a cashier which is even more troubling. I typically don't do this, but some behavior ignored only gives credence, especially when it's disrespectful and despicable. Loyal customer for now. I am strongly considering taking my business elsewhere.
