To return their call, I was immediately put on hold for 27 minutes! I got to the location from work, waiting through a 12-minute line (so 39 minutes after I called) I got to the front and was still on hold. I showed them the hold time. Before calling them, I had called my insurance and my doctor, and nothing was wrong. So, I wanted to ask them what their system was stating/how it could be wrong...yet they never answered, so I asked for the manager. The manager stated that this was just how they did things here. I told them that I was called first. I was returning their call, and since I was immediately put on hold without even a person answering, I told them that it's unacceptable. I had very easy issues to solve. Never going back. I had been going there for decades (not exaggerating). Good riddance.

Her lack of professionalism and disregard for customer service left me utterly disgusted and frustrated. Sara Power's incompetence was on full display as she mishandled my prescription, causing delays and errors that could have had serious consequences for my health. Her dismissive attitude and lack of attention to detail were shocking and completely unacceptable. Not only did Sara Power fail to provide the basic level of care and service expected from a pharmacist, but her rude and condescending behavior towards me and other customers was downright disrespectful. It was abundantly clear that she had no regard for the well-being or concerns of those she was supposed to be helping. I would strongly advise anyone in the Gurnee area to steer clear of this Walgreens location and to avoid any interactions with Sara Power. Her incompetence and lack of professionalism have no place in a customer-facing role, and I would caution anyone in need of pharmacy services to seek assistance elsewhere. This experience was nothing short of a nightmare, and I would not wish it upon anyone else. Victoria and Hailey, on the other hand we're very friendly daily, and I could tell by their facial expressions that this is something that they have previously experienced.

Drip and Culture - Socially Minded Coffee

Thankfully, it was only 10 minutes away, so my mom and I hopped in the car to try it out. Drip and Culture is located in the back of Supermercado Gonzalez. It's not rare for Mexican grocery stores in the area to sell hot food in the back of the store, but it was very unique to find this super cute, black-owned coffee shop located right in the back. After looking over the menu, I decided on the Ube Matcha and my mom chose the Banana Rum Caramel Latte! Both drinks were a 10/10!!! My drink had an Ube horchata base, which tasted like the perfect mix of vanilla and cinnamon. It was absolutely amazing and paired perfectly with the matcha!!! My mom thoroughly enjoyed her latte as well! Next time I'm in town, Drip and Culture will be my first stop. The shop has a 90s theme with jerseys on the wall and VHS tapes, which gives such a nostalgic vibe. I can't wait to return!!!

Not only is the coffee delicious, but you can also grab tacos and relax with a seat while you enjoy your meal. The service is always welcoming, and it really is a great family owned business. One thing I love is that the menu is constantly evolving with new featured drinks, giving you something different to try each visit. So far, it has never disappointed. If you're looking to support local and enjoy great coffee, Drip & Culture is absolutely worth a stop!

I left with a cinnamon roll donut and a apple danish. I was loving the donut as I ate it while driving to my destination. The sweetness, texture, moistness, and cinnamon flavor was all there. I could have ate a couple more. The next day I ate the apple danish. It held up nicely a day later and wasn't all dried out. It was reminiscent of the apple danishes that McDonalds used to sell years ago, but 10x better. The apple filling was a sweet delight that i can rarely find. I really enjoyed the pastries here and everything tasted way better than they looked. If I would have known the goods were going to be great, I would have bought a lot more. To bad I won't be back out that way until next summer.
