I heard something good- once- about this Walgreen's so I have been wanting to try it. The good compliment I am aware of for this Walgreen's had to do with its Passport Photo services. If you need passport photis taken, I believe this service is still offered here.
Well, I picked yesterday (10/21/2016, a Friday) to visit this store. Walking in right away along the left Cosmetic Wall I saw a,work-in-progress paint job that was a real turnoff. Several buckets of wall paint were set out on the floor on top of a Drop Cloth with some paint brushes and other painter tools. Besides being unsightly, it is dangerous to have paint buckets on the floor in high traffuc areas where customers walk on a busy Friday afternoon after work (approximately 3:30 p.m.), even if there was a Drop Cloth SORT OF giving ppl. a warning should a customer be looking down at the floor.
I made my purchase selections and headed to the Cashier- a very nice young girl was cashiering- and presented my Walgreen's loyalty card that I keep on my key chain when I noticed that the medical devices I had selected may be the wrong size. I left the cashier at her suggestion that I buy the correct size. Sadly she did not seem remotely familiar with the product as, until I mentioned it, seems she was not aware the product is sized (comes in different sizes, as manufactured). So I go all the way, again, to the right rear of the store but sadly what I believe is the wrong size for me is the only size in stock. I return to the Casier and the line has grown and once I reach her again I had to start all over again with presenting my loyalty card and re-ringing items even though I was only able to buy- and did end up buying- the original items I took to the Cashier to begin with. Just a slight inconvenience and perhaps there is no way around having to re-ring when a customer has to leave the line. She gave me and the customer ahead of me I heard a nuce script about how you can get an Flu Shot here and how it doesn't take long at all.
But going to the Cash Stand the second time my path was blocked (2nd time, that is, with the unattended paint buckets being 1st blockage) by n9ne other than a female manager carrying on a long conversation with a young male employee with a huge cart full of stock (products) after I already heard her tell him to get the cart out of here because "[she didn't] want to see it." She saw me coming and wouldn't budge (get out of the way) and the young man with the cart also stood still. I stopped and fully expected they would separate more as there wasn't much space between them and the huge dangerous looking cart was STILL THERE. She hollered at me to "Go Ahead." I decided to make a Wide Left to go around them and that ridiculous cart in a high traffic area. So rude me thinks.
After paying, of all places for me to encounter a Painter (man) lifting up a huge ladder and swinging it about his shoulder in an Unsafe Manner. For the 3rd time I felt as though my path was blocked I stopped in my tracks and waited for him to walk away (towards the left Cosmetic Wall) before I felt the exit to outside was clear and safe enough for me to actually exit the building. The entire experience for me here was like an obstacle course. Yuck! read more
