Insider Pages Reviews for Walgreens
Walgreens is a very nice store that has a variety of items to choose from to purchase. They have so many items to choose from. They have snacks, little toys, back to school items and supplies, stationary, make up, magazines, and more. This store also has a pharmacy where someone could get their prescriptions filled. This is a very nice store to run to when you dont want to go to a bigger store and want to get in and get what you want then go on home.

Avoid this pharmacy at all cost, service is exceptionally poor
by williams2153
I have been using this pharmacy for over a year because it is close to my work. They consistently take longer than they say to fill refill my prescriptions. If I tell them that I will wait and they say 15 minutes, however, almost every time it takes them 25 to 35 minutes. I have given them an hour to refill the prescription and invariably when I return it will not be ready, even when I return two hours later; I even returned once after four hours and they still had me wait. I have reported this to the manager to no avail, and yet I continued to use the pharmacy. One employee even walked out on them after I complained to the manager. Yesterday I left a prescription to be refilled saying that I would return this morning to pick it up; when I returned this morning at 11:00 am they didn't even know that I had left the prescription to be refilled or what it was that I needed. Again they told me that it would be just a few minutes to which I replied "Forget it. I will transfer my prescriptions to another pharmacy." This is a good example of exceptionally poor management. Maybe they have too many customers but that won't be a problem for long.
Pros: Convenient to my work
Cons: Exceptionally long wait times and unresponsive management
