    Tips: - Sign up for Walgreens rewards…read more - Beware of expired products at this store. After I had arrived in the Twin Cities, and had fetch my luggage and rental vehicle, I needed to get some drinks. I did a search and found this Walgreens by the hotel that I'd be staying at. It didn't take long to get here from MSP airport. There were lots of parking spots. I backed into an available spot and walked in. The beauty section greeted me when I walked in. I liked seeing nail care. I ended up getting a two-pack of nail clippers by Olive & June. I like the nail accessories that this company makes. I got a couple of 2 L bottles of pop. I also got two packages of Pepperidge Farm cookies. M&M's has a bakery collection out. This store didn't have it. However, it had caramel M&M's pop'd. It has a cookie component that's freeze-dried. I lined up at the checkout. I got a woman at the checkout who noticed that one of my Pepperidge Farms cookies had expired. It was a bummer, as it was the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. I went to swap it out for dark chocolate Milano cookies. I then let the woman know that there was another package of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies that had expired. I realize that there are a ton of products in this drugstore. I felt that the tone of her voice made me feel like it was my fault for picking up an expired box. She didn't say anything when I let her know about the second box. I then said that both need to be removed from the shelf. She finally acknowledged that they would be. It was weird. I appreciated that she noticed the expiration date, but it was the delivery that wasn't the best. I entered my phone number associated with my rewards at Walgreens. I got some savings applied. My receipt was sent to my inbox. She bagged my items. I thanked her and carried my goods to my rental vehicle. The toenail clippers work nicely. I like the silicone grips. The clippers are effective and safe. The caramel M&M's pop'd snacks are so good. They are a bit expensive getting a bag for $9. They are worth treating yourself to a bag. It's a decent drugstore. Just be careful about expiration dates on products. (120)

    We visited this Walgreens because my hair clip broke on a ride at Nickelodeon Universe (my fault…read morefor wearing it on a ride, I know!) So we came here for a hair clip to replace mine, as we were done riding for the day and just wanted to shop around and eat. This has to be the absolute tiniest and most cramped Walgreens I have ever seen in my life! I felt super claustrophobic in here with very thin aisles and only a few of them to speak of. You should think being at the Mall of America, everything is bigger and better - but that's definitely not the case at this Walgreens spot. With their location, they can also charge an arm and a leg (for people who need something last minute or for an emergency while they're at the mall for the day) - and they definitely do. I'd say just bring in your own band aids, hair ties, and aspirin when you visit, so you won't have to go to this spendy and claustrophobic Walgreens for anything! If you do find yourself needing an item and didn't bring it with you, this Walgreens is okay - I just wouldn't recommend it for anything but emergency purchase situations.

    The mall of America is probably the most greatest property on earth, besides Disney properties…read more With that said, I discovered a Walgreens while wandering around the Mall. I guess it shows that you gotta have everything on your property to make people decide to come to you for everything. The mall of America is decidedly that, you Need to have a Walgreens, a destination within a destination, which is fine by me. I discovered this Walgreens by happenstance because I was just walking the mall. I reminded myself that I needed stuff, so I entered the store. This Walgreens is protracted store because it did not really have a grocery/fresh food section, like a Whole Foods does. Doesn't matter, though, I needed just drinks and snack food for an event I was doing the next morning. The overall experience here at this Walgreens store talk about 10 minutes in total. I quickly located the sports strains and other items I needed within 2 to 3 minutes after entering the store and quickly looked over the prices before he decided to buy. It was interesting that they did not have fresh food or grocery items here, but it is almost like a CVS storefor the most part though, I I'm glad that they are here so I did not have to seek out another place for the stuff that I needed anyway. Thanks to Walgreens for setting up shop here at this location at the mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The service itself was pretty good and it was pretty cool that I had to say I'm from out of town when they said do you have a membership with us. Walgreens has a membership program? I do have Walgreens at home, I don't think I have a membership with them anyway. It is what it is though. The overall experience at this Walgreens store in the Mall of America was satisfactory and casual, while being positive and typical. The store was kind of small and carried what most people would need anyway on a day to day basis. What I needed within the first five minutes so I did not need to have to look around the whole entire store before finding what I needed. The store staff was cool and friendly for the most part. The store was organized and looked like nobody shopped there. Hardly anyone was in the store while I was in there. Not sure if they had air condition, but it was kind of nice to be able to come here to shop in private. With that said, it was just a casual shopping experience for me and it was good specially in a large mall, like the mall of America. I enjoyed myself here even for a few minutes shopping for some supplies. Maybe you will too. After all, do you are in the mall of America anyway. It was just nice to have a convenience store right in the mall and I am thankful for that. This Walgreens is located on the second or third floor of the Mall of America. I wasn't sure exactly. All merchants here, so they accept credit cards and cash. As far as parking goes, you are subjected to what the Mall of America has, it is a lot. They have multiple parking garages for your pleasure to park here. There's always other parking lot in the immediate area or the vicinity, so you could park there and walk on over. For myself, I ended up taking an Uber here and leaving with an Uber after my afternoon here at the mall of America on my most recent visit. Since the Mall of America is pretty close to the Minneapolis - St Paul international airport, you could probably do a day trip or an overnight stay while shopping. There's hotels near the MOA for that purpose. For the most part though, my experience here at Walgreens at the Mall of America was short, brief, and very good, since I found what I was looking for quickly and I was out of the store within 15 minutes. Rest assured that Walgreens is your neighborhood convenience store brand. While this location doesn't have as much as Walmart does the fresh produce that Whole Foods does, you can get many of the name brand items you depend on every day. And so, if you need Walgreens in your life, consider coming to this location at the Mall of America in Minneapolis Minnesota. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 3.5 stars for the service. 4.0 stars for the selection and prices. 5.0 stars because I was wandering around and found it by happy coincidence. Support local! B

A bit pricey for certain items. $ 4 for some super cheap low end, no name batteries- really? I wouldn't regularly shop at Walgreens, but for a few quick items, for sure. Needed some crisco baking sticks for cookies, they had it. Along with milk and the mini San pellegrino. Not a lot of places carry cold mineral water that I have found. This place had it. Friendly staff. The manager greeted us upon entering. Would drop by again for a few quick items.

And then sometimes - SURPRISE! - you are just hung up on anyway. Sometimes this will happen twice in a row. If you just go straight to the store you may be in line for an hour or more to pick your prescription up. When I request a refill, frequently it will get cancelled for no reason, and I'm not even notified. When I had finally had enough, I couldn't even get my prescriptions transferred to a non-Walgreens pharmacy because other pharmacies know they would never reach anyone if they called to request them. Their reputation is that bad. So I had to ask my provider to send all new prescriptions to my new pharmacy. I get the impression the employees are generally trying, but being chronically understaffed makes people cut corners and customer service greatly suffers. As for the store itself... there are always people outside soliciting for surveys or something, which is a huge turnoff. When inside, there is a constant broken record on the loudspeaker announcing that someone needs assistance in ____ aisle because so many things are locked up. Sometimes it will repeat for 10 minutes straight because, obviously, the customer is still waiting for help. Which brings me to another point: they have been robbed SO many times. No wonder nobody wants to work there.

    Literally the worse experience at the sams club gas station. Tired calling in for the guys name,…read morethey did not pick up. You really really need to hire people that want to work there, are motivated and peaceful. This assbag guy rushed me out of spot, as if thats anything smart to do. My app was acting up, i told him i didnt see you by the office, & he cursed at me and rushed my service saying "f*ck i hate people today" Sir, its nobodies fault but your own that you are stuck working that miserable job. This made me wish AI steps in, he would be out a job and one more person wouldn't have to deal with those idiotic lines. I dont blame them, i blame him. It was an older man in his 60s-70s. He was a fat stocky jerky guy with glasses. Kinda looks like albert einstein. White mustache, whiter hair. Learn to treat people with the same respect they treat you with. I literally live down the block, walking distance from this sams club. I will do everything in my power to make sure you get written up and/or fired for this. Whats so hard about showing the people who help your check some common decency?? This incident occurred at 12:16 pm. I had just got out of dialysis and really needed to put gas in my car. I thought i have a sams club, why not? Its way cheaper. Wrong, i got cursed at, the guy was screaming at me to move my car because i was "taking too long to fuel" it was literally only 2 minutes into me trying to pay for the gas. What a real dirttbag, i just got out of dialysis, as if thats not hard enough to deal with 3x a week, lets throw in a belligerent assman to curse at you and help rush you out the line. I waited like every one else. I will see him eventually, & i will speak my mind. Thats not right that you have employees like that. Scum of the earth. I could of been on my last days, and here goes this asshole screaming telling me about how long im taking.

For example, a beautifully decorated large cake that serves 24 is only $20. Also, you can't beat their self checkout on their app; it's SO fast and convenient. But if you need to speak to a customer service representative, the lines can get pretty long. When we compare Costco vs Sam's, they are so similar to each other, so if we're getting large quantities of things, I use both of their apps to compare prices before buying. At Costco, I prefer the prepared foods and their milk jugs more than Sam's. But I like Sam's baked goods and rotisserie chicken more than Costco. Both Sam's and Costco have tires, pharmacy, cafe, and optical; they are very similar. Like all warehouse bulk places, prices are usually lower but selection is hit or miss.
