I actually got my COVID vaccine from a Jewel Pharmacy, and this location is just as organized, clean, and efficient. The attendant who was there pointed me in the right direction without even needing to look at the shelves, that's how organized they are!

Since I received no text about this and since I have no history of missing texts, I believe he just straight out lied. Friends don't let friends use this pharmacy.

I noticed that this is the only Walgreens that has the Photo department (where you do pickups) connecting right to the general checkout counter. The woman at Photo was not particularly welcoming, she kind of complained that I clicked "I am here" on the app that instructed me to do so. She said once I clicked that, the clock would start timing her, she said I only needed to click that if I waited in my car by the sidewalk. I didn't see why it's a problem that I was already inside the store, and she didn't need to go outside. The chocolate was pre-bagged, she gave that to the cashier who scanned it. As I had already paid online, it was quick. I didn't spend too much time inside this store, but it looked smaller than the other Walgreens stores that I had been to. It's not as bright and looked quite dated. However, I was happy that they had this chocolate that's my sister's favorite at a discounted price, and the pickup was quick and smooth.

I went in to make returns. I walked up to the register, no one's there. A female worker (her badge indicated she's been with Walgreens for some time) finally saw me and rudely said, "What?" I said I needed to make returns. With a harsh tone she proceeded to ask me a series of questions and made some rude comments. "What's wrong w/ those?" "Do you have the coupon?" "People usually bring back the coupon." Apparently I was given a coupon when I made the purchase, but I had no idea you had to return that too (never had this issue with previous returns), also, I don't even know where it is. I was returning 3 items from 2 different receipts and the whole process was handled so poorly. I've worked in retail, and she couldn't have made me feel like I'm causing a huge inconvenience. She even messed up, further slowing the whole process down (there's a bunch of people waiting behind me) and made it seem like I was the one at fault. The whole process could've taken less than 5 mins IMHO and w/o so much attitude :(

Uh, I can see why this Walgreens has the Yelp ratings it does. This review is about the pharmacy…read moreoperation and staff. We were helping an extended family member with picking up her prescription. Her doctor at the walk-in clinic sends over an electronic prescription order. We go there to pick it up and the inept technician just says they don't have such an order. On a Saturday afternoon, I try calling the walk-in office to make sure it was sent to the right Walgreens but only get an answering service. As the clinic is still open and is thankfully only 10 minutes away, I drive back there and have it confirmed that the order did go to the right place and their paperwork says receipt was confirmed. We go back to this Walgreens and confront the inept technician and she hands it off to her colleague with her hands up and without saying a word and she walks away. The colleague, who was at least empathetic, has to fumble around and finally finds the order, so they do in fact have it but the pharmacist can't fill it quite yet because the order is not entered yet into their system (duh). By who or by what automation, I don't know, but eventually after another 30 minutes, the order is finally filled with some prodding. The pharmacist at least talked empathetically, but still seemed slow at filling the order given the hassle we had gone through. I asked where he inept technician went, and apparently it was the end of her shift, so she just walked out without saying a word to anyone, including the colleague and pharmacist, and apparently went home. This pharmacy is like being in the Twilight Zone, weird. Other family members have told me even when they get messaged that a prescription is ready, it really isn't when you arrive. My advice is to avoid this pharmacy if you can. If you can't, give them plenty of lead time for a prescription because it will take them that long. I'm just glad I'm not a regular customer here, and I have not experienced such buffoonery at other Walgreens pharmacies. On the plus side though, this is the only Walgreens I have seen that has a traffic light for their parking lot entrance, which is very convenient when leaving.

I want to cry from the helplessness I feel waiting for my sons medicine as he lays at home crying from the pain--while this man at the pharmacy enjoys his ego trip--but I just sit here. Still waiting. Now it's 50 min. No end in sight. I can already see that he's going to have a bright future in healthcare. Good job, Walgreens pharmacy.
