4 reviews for Walgreens
I'm usually very against writing reviews of big chain stores, but these guys literally saved my family's Christmas Eve.
After dinner at Sweets & Savories just down the street (check that place out y'all), my dad tried to move the car he had parked on a small side street while I walked my 83-year-old Gma, sister and mom down to the Walgreens to stay warm. He calls my cell phone and says that the 2-wheel-drive car is stuck. So, I do my best to hurdle the massive glaciers of plowed ice on Fullerton to go and help him push the car. We try everything one driver and one pusher can do.
I go back into Walgreens while my dad calls AAA to get a tow truck (and wait for anywhere from 45 mins - 3 hours!). I ask them for a cheap shovel in order to start digging out of the snow bank in my Xmas Eve suit, while the ladies are yucking it up w/ the friendly counter girl there.
That's when the ghost of xmas present enters the scene. Turns out he's a 5'10", jacked, shaved bald white dude covered in tattoos. Also turns out he's the assistant manager. "You don't need a shovel, man. All you need is a little push." With that, he and another ghost of xmas present grab jackets and saunter out to the car where they dislodged the family ride in a matter of seconds. Walgreens -- you saved Xmas eve!
Boycott! clean the damn snow. They sell salt! Why can't they shovel the snow and keep the area clean and clear? If I can't manuever around this snow, how the heck are old people supposed to do it!?
Wheel chair accessible? Not when the snow is over 2 inches!
I frequent this Walgreens a couple times a week and spend almost $400 a month there on prescriptions and grocery/health/beauty products. There have been several times that I've gone in there and purchased something that was clearly marked "ON SALE" on the shelf and then got charged full price at the register.
Another thing I noticed about this place is the staff acting inappropriately and childish. One of the night managers is very lenient with the other associates, and he basically lets them get a rise out of each other over the intercom. It's particularly annoying when a lot of people in the store at night are sick people waiting for prescriptions. Many of which are fatigued and experiencing headaches and/or some other type of pain. It's almost unbarable to have to deal with these staff members constantly yelling silly noises or giggling into the intercom. Got news for you guys...it's not that funny!
Have some respect for your customers and express a little more authority and professionalism on the job,
I fell in love with Walgreen's the day I went there and bought a USB cord, special lightbulbs for my track lighting, blank CDs, a tire gauge, and a Diet Pepsi. They carry key items like these and make shopping so easy vs. driving to a Target where you have to wait in line forever. Plus, the in-store flyers are great for finding 2 for 1 deals. I love when there are two people in line to check out and they let people know "there is no waiting in cosmetics" so they don't have to wait in line...they really do care about customer service.
