While staying in Minneapolis, I stopped into a close-by Walgreens to get a few items. I have alway seen locations in downtowns and this one was right around the corner from where I was staying. I am always pleased when I am properly greeted when I walk through the door. I am especially happy when a clerk or cashier look up from what they are doing to acknowledge a customer walking through the door. This store, like other Walgreens is big and bright with clean isles to navigate through. This incredibly delightful staff was over the top in greetings. Happy to see a customer. Happy to help a customer. Happy to speak with a customer. I needed a few items ranging from water to shaving cream. They had plenty of items to choose from and I pleased that their house brand is a substantially reduced price and the same item. Check out went very quickly and I received the same cordial greeting as I left as when I came in. The team member behind the counter just personified the model employee of engagement, spreading happiness and loving to be able to help. Kudos to a wonderful team here at Walgreens.

The pharmacy at Walgreens in Uptown is, by far, the worst, most dysfunctional pharmacy I have ever…read moreencountered. they are horribly understaffed and lines snake down the aisles as customers moan and groan. Prescriptions go unfilled days after being called in by a doctor for absolutely no reason. After moving back to an area in which this was my closest pharmacy, I transferred all my scripts here. But after three horrible experiences with trying to get my scripts filled, I transferred them all to the CVS in St Louis Park, where the pharmacy actually works!

When I arrived, there was one person in front of me at the pharmacy register. I waited patiently. As soon as that customer was finished, the pharmacy technician told me they were closing for lunch. I explained that I had just received a notification from Walgreens to pick up my prescription, and there was no mention in either message that the pharmacy would be closed between 1:30 and 2:00 PM. Her response? "It's Saturday," said with a dismissive tone, as if I was supposed to know their lunch schedule. Then, right in front of me, she shut the pharmacy gate in my face while two other staff stood aside doing nothing. Not a single person made an effort to help--despite Walgreens being the one to ask me to come pick up my prescription. This was my first time at this location--and will definitely be my last. If this is how Walgreens treats its customers, I'll be taking my prescriptions elsewhere. It would've taken less than a minute to hand me my medication before closing. Instead, they chose to be rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional.

Always friendly helpful people. The isles are a bit out of stock some days but I'm finding that…read moreeverywhere.

We were in a hurry, so I did not notice that only three of the five medications were filled. The pain meds and the blood thinner were missing. After I got home, I noticed that they were omitted. When I called about it, I was told, Yeah, we were out of them. I said I was frustrated that I was not informed at the time. I was then told that it was partially my fault, as I did not say I needed five meds. Mind you, I was just out of surgery and very foggy.

The blood gushed and I at least had napkins to wrap and apply pressure, (I was a boy scout, hey). Not totally sanitary but the bigger issue is what do I do now with no first aid kit in the car. Look up across the street. A drugstore! A bland looking building on the outside but a large drug store and gift shop inside. Bandages and first aid in the first aisle by the door, as if they were expecting me. Found a box of heavy duty bandages while trying to hold a napkin over my surface wound. Washed out my wound and applied said bandage, problem solved. Thanks for being there Kennedy Snyder (since 1953 the signs state).

This pharmacy was terrible.

After getting the prescription 45 mins before. They said they didn't set the time for the safe. I mean if you get a prescription faxed why wouldn't you just fill it and do what you need to in order to fill it. I.e. setting the safe. It's completely unprofessional and it forces me to lapse into pain. I'm extremely disappointed in this.

The regular store staff are nice, but they aren't as helpful as some of the other Walgreens that I have been to - they aren't rude, they just don't go out of their way to be nice.

It's a fairly large Walgreens, but then again it's in the Midwest where land is cheaper and buildings are larger. My "what is normal" for buildings has changed a bit after living in the NYC metro area and then later the SF Bay area. You have aisles full of the typical Walgreens stuff, drugs, makeup, stuffed animals, etc. What interested me was the aisle of food. There selection was at least as good as a gas station with a long aisle with chips, nuts, chocolates, popcorn, and dried fruit. The glass cases have drinks and even ice cream if you want to get really decadent. The bathroom is down a long hall and they have one room. I hope by the time you stop you are able to h old it for at least a minute or two because you will need it to walk all the way down the hall. The store was fairly well lit and reasonably clean. All in all a decent stopping point.
