The pharmacy is definitely the most dysfunctional pharmacy I've ever patronized. The lines often…read morespan half the store, they rarely answer the phone, and the drive through is randomly but rather consistently closed. This has persisted for more than a year and a half. Understaffing, mismanagement, crisis, alternate reality? It's unclear what could create such a longterm and catastrophic dysfunction. Orders are never available when promised, resulting in multiple in-person trips. You can't call ahead to check if an order is ready because they don't answer the phone. They don't update the online system timely either. Perhaps due to the location, many of the clientele appear to be experiencing challenges. Lots of severely ill individuals coughing, pacing, and hovering inches from nearby patrons, waiting anxiously for medications. There are spacing stickers on the floor. But they're not enforced or observed. Someone in line requested substance addiction-related medications and was told it will take two weeks to fill the prescription at this pharmacy, resulting in a scene with lots of foul language. TWO WEEKS for what is apparently a critical time sensitive medication. As for me, when I left, the line was 20+. Waited for over 25 minutes and walked out without my order because they claim they didn't receive the order, despite confirming with my doctor's office on the way to the pharmacy. Time to switch pharmacies! Trust me, no matter how convenient this pharmacy is as far as location, you will still come out behind due to multiple trips and long waits and people coughing on the back of your neck. I have some sympathy for the employees who staff this pharmacy and have to deal with a constant flow of disgruntled desperate clients.

Ya know what's weird? As long as I've lived in Boise I had never been to this store. There's a Rite…read moreAid and a Walgreens within walking distance to my house. So I would just drive by this location on my way downtown and admire the amazing architecture. I'm a sucker for old buildings, basically anything that has some kind of nostalgia to it, I absolutely LOVE. I wish I would have gone in here tho before they remodeled it. I would have preferred it stay the original way because it's always fun to step into a time capsule. You still kind of do regardless because this building has been there for a min lol. You walk in and for me, was immediately surprised to see a store that had the "open concept" that everyone is so UNBELIEVABLY obsessed with when it comes to their homes. Honestly, the open concept is not creative, unoriginal, has HGTV written all over it and I wish people would just come up with their own ideas for their homes/businesses vs seeing some tacky trend they see on HGTV. That being said, I don't really tie all that in with this store. I mean, I'm sure the open concept trend definitely influenced their decision to do this store like that. This store is still great tho, don't get me wrong. I love it. It's one place that gets a pass for open concept lol. THANK GOD tho they didn't do everything in gray and white hahaha! If they did, I'd probably skip writing a review for this place. I haaaaaaate the gray and white trend. Stop it already!!! Hahahaha! This store is very spread out, very airy, you don't feel boxed in at all when walking the aisle's. They are wide enough to where a few people can be in them and you wouldn't get all claustrophobic. I have serious issues with claustrophobia. I pass out at concerts if there are too many people boxing me in lol. First time was 1995 at a Green Day concert. First time I felt claustrophobic and BAM! I was out! They thought I was on drugs and was about to kick me out lol. Anyway! Way off topic! I tend to do that tho. Nothing new. The layout is interesting. You walk in and all the makeup, basic necessities type stuff is right up front and the grocery stuff is in the back. I assume the makeup and stuff is up front because this store is located downtown area and theft is probably an issue. Prices are high here. Then again, they are pretty much everywhere. However, $2.29!!! TWO DOLLARS AND TWENTY. NINE. CENTS! for a thing of Tic Tacs!! HELL. NOOOOO! That is unbelievably INSANE! Some embarrassing truth here lol. Neutrogena had these exfoliating pad things. They're impossible to find. I checked their website, sold out, but the locator said this store had them. So I thought I'd surprise my roommate and get them. I was downtown for a fitness class and decided to FINALLY go in here. If I'm being honest too, these exfoliating pad things I wanted for myself, too because they're amazing lol. Locator said this store had them. I probably should have gone that day but waited until the day of the class, like a day or two. Of course, they weren't there. Tbh too, I didn't even see a tag for them. Made me sad. Now I'm just stuck mobbing around looking like an old alcoholic bag lady because I can't buff out my old ass face (Siiiiiigggghhh) hahahahaha! I don't look THAT bad tho haha! If anything, this store and it's history is what does it for me. I love it. I hope we always have it here in Boise. I think back in the day it was a Safeway? Anyone know for sure? Because we ain't got sh__t for Safeways in Boise now lol. Didn't really interact with employees. There were a few there but they have quite a few self-checkouts. Love or hate those things, they're convenient as hell. This stores are newer and super easy to use especially if people are buying food. That seems to be a complaint for most with self-checkouts. If they aren't your thing, walk your happy a__ over to a human cashier haha! That's all! Great store! Great vibe there even later at night :) Thanks, Yelperiteraiders!!! Cheers!

I made an appointment for a rapid covid test to be performed by pharmacy staff and it's now 45 minutes after checking in for my scheduled appointment that I've been sitting here without my name being called.

Putting my money where my mouth is. Stopped in a couple weeks ago for the first time and and wrote…read morein my last visit that this joint would be a great place to get Idaho merch as a souvenir. My husband and I are heading to Georgia next week and wanted to get a small gift for our host. So, JD's was the first place we thought about hitting up. There are so many options of gift ideas while we were breezing through the store. I was fascinated by the cute metal mugs that they have in the front. But the tea towels on the other side of the store, next to the pinball machine were beautiful too. After much debate, I decided on the cute metal mug with the fun Idaho facts all over it. I would want one of my own so I might have to come back and snag one. I also got a bar of Idaho huckleberry chocolate to put inside the little mug. It's going to be the perfect little gift for our host. My husband was too busy looking at all the refrigerated drinks. He found the Sprite + tea combo. We have yet to see that in any gas stations by us so that was a neat find! We also found another Calypso lemonade that we have yet to see as well. It was cool finding those drink choices here. The sweet gal that helped us last time helped us again today. She rang us up and a we chatted a bit. She said she remembered us from our last visit. I don't know if it's true but I'm flattered if she did remember us! Either way, she was great and made our little visit there fun. This bodega is dope and I'm happy we came here today to grab our drinks and presents. I'll always recommend this joint to locals or out of towners if they are looking for Idaho merch or a drink. They have some near stuff here and the sales gal is super kind. Plus you gotta support beautiful small businesses in our city.

The Stinker stations are good gas stations. What do I mean?…read moreShouldn't they all be good gas stations? They should but some are just a pain in the ass. Think of Costco Gas Station at noon on a Saturday. Or the gas station right off the freeway or by the airport. One reason or another they can be more expensive, not worth the hassle, or simply difficult to get in and out. The location at 4700 North Eagle Rd is a good location. There's a right hand turn into the Albertsons shopping center and the Stinker is to the left. There are four wide lanes and it's one way pull through. That means you're not in a battle royale for positioning. ( Think of the gas station off the freeway in Anywhere US ) Cars and trailers facing all sorts of directions with gas tanks on the wrong side of the pump. My only gripe is the number of questions I am subjected to when I just want to get gas. It's not an inditement of Stinker but they do have a lot of questions when using the pay at the pump option. I feel like I'm being up-sold on everything from Monster drinks to Car washes. The pull out goes around the car wash. There are vacuums and theres bonus points for free air.
