After returning from work, i like to get some inscense or candy for the young ones before getting home. Above it all, I like the Islander accent, along with their caring grandparent smoothness and their hospitable style. But I found this place because my once tweeny daughter use to come down to this store with her friends after school. It's a hot stop spot for Takoma EC, Coolidge Highschool, Whittier Elementary to name those I know of near there.

Citibank ATM Fresh Foods section front and center with fruit, sandwiches, hard boiled eggs...and *gasp* Blueberry Chobani Greek Yogurt?? whaaaaaa???? That great new car smell...oh wait a sec, nevermind. The not-so-good: Like any new establishment, they are still working out the bugs. Price labels are still missing on some things. Staff is still learning the store and therefore slow as molasses. There is an entire section straight back from the door that is empty. No shelves, no nutter butters, nothing. Seems like a waste of space. But all in all, I was counting the days till they opened...and they finally did! yaaaaaay!

Free Slurpee Day was today 7-11! I stopped by around 2:00pm. There was a group of young adults with…read moreintellectual disabilities clamoring around the Slurpee machine with their chaperones. An employee was in the front of the store handing out small (10oz) cups for the free Slurpee. I chose the blue raspberry which was good, but a bit liquid-y.

This CVS is really hit or miss. If you're going there real quick just to get a thing or two it's…read moreOK. I go to it because it's closest to me, but I typically try not to go. It usually has everything I'm looking for, but it's really expensive whenever I walk out of there. Don't even both to go to the cash register to pay or you'll be there for a while. There's usually only one person with the line being 5 people long. I always just go to self check out and hope that the light doesn't blink and have to wait for someone to help. The pharmacy line is very slow and sometimes wait time can be on the slow side even if you're given a time. I get my meds here a lot out of convenience but I probably shouldn't. The line is always super long, no one knows where it starts for some reason so people just cut, and then they can sometimes take forever to get your stuff. Most of the people that are working there are not too friendly. I don't remember anyone being outright mean to me at the pharmacy, so I guess that's what keeps me coming back.
