5 reviews for Walgreens
I was locked out of my apartment for 3 hours today. I didn't mean to, I just was stupid and forgot my keys when I left my apartment to run across the street to get a soda. When I realized my pants weren't jingling as much as they used to, I knew I was in trouble.
How the hell do you lock yourself out of your place? I am surprised that I don't trip or walk into walls more often.
The first two hours was actually quite liberating, but the third was pointless. In my adventure I got some pizza, hung out in a park, and did a lot of walking. When you have three hours to spare, you really start to observe neighborhood. When did all this graffiti appear in Greenwood? Am I ever going to walk into half of these shops along Greenwood Ave? What is the point of a $.99 store if there are items in there that are more than $.99?
I must have walked by Walgreens like 30 times and only walked in once today. I have been in here before when I wanted to buy a soda and some snacks. But other than that, there is no reason for me to be in here. Actually, there is no reason for me to even review this place. What the fuck am I doing wasting my time and your time with this shit?
The guy at the counter always asks if I want to buy some popsicles. I never say "yeah." Why the hell does he keep asking me that?
I did end up buying a Harper's magazine at Bartells. I think I only bought it because I was surprised that Harper's was at a Bartells. That and I was locked out of my apartment for fucking three hours.
Zipzap Zubidy Bop!

I usually like walgreens but unfortunately this one is kindof weak, and it's the closest one to home. The pharmacy is really its redeeming quality, because it supplies drugs when you need them, and like everying else in America, you can get it drive-thru.
The thing I dislike most about this walgreens is that it's photo dept. sucks. I keep going back for digital prints for the decent prices and email specials, but do not trust the employees here to develop your film. I had an entire vacations worth of film here practically destroyed due to employees who had no idea how to operate the machinery. I now take my film to Bartells off of 24th NW and they can do matte prints with a white border in an hour and seem to be knowledgeable, which is very important to me. In fact last time I had real film developed at Walgreens the girl who works at QFC in the Deli across the street had to go around the counter and show them what was up...huh? She just happened to be hanging out there and wasnt even paid for her time..LOL!
Maybe someday I will win the $3,000 dollars from their online survey that is on the receipt. This is why I keep going back. That and the $1 Dwight Yokam Macaroni Mouth Poppers. Oh and the Lisa Frank stickers, As Seen on TV items, seasonal products, and arizona iced tea Arnold palmers.

I asked her if she had ever seen my stupid coin trick, the one I call the 'worst magic trick ever.'
She had.
I mentioned that if we had cards or even paper drink coasters, I could show a slightly better 'card trick.' I mean... it amazed me the first couple times Phil E. performed it for me, but I hail from the land of the easily entertained.
She upped the ante by offering to show me a *really good* card trick, but we'd need actual playing cards. We were on our way to drop her off, and this Walgreens was on the way.
They carried decks of cards and gum, both situated right next to the register. That's what we needed, done and done.
There was an odd moment where we weren't sure if we were getting a bag or not. Do you snag your items and head out? Or wait for the checker to do their job? We didn't really need the bag... but on the other hand, that's usually a pretty good sign that you're done with the transaction.
Apparently, we were done with the transaction.
By the way, the card trick she showed me WAS *really good.* She did it at least three times and I never figured out how until she showed me.
And yes, I was entertained each time. Easily.

I like the staff who have refilled my ink cartridges back in the photo department... Great prices, and they tell you if your cartridge isn't going to work or not - no surprises when you get home!

It is what it is. Everyone here is useless except for the tall blonde guy. Don't expect a smile when you get to the checker. If there is a line, consider getting stuff at QFC instead. The checkers are really slow and since they price stuff wrong, there are usually disputes in line about the price of stuff.
