Walgreens

Appreciate the convenience of Walgreens more than ever. Had a friend lose his apartment in Manhattan last week to a fire. A group of us wanted to get him a bunch of gift cards to help him out. Found out Walgreens owns or is partners with Duane Read, which is literally on every corner in Manhattan, and their gift cards will work up there so I went here first. I never notice just how many different gift cards this place offered, but it was seriously a one stop shop everything we needed for our friend. Visa, Walgreens, Macy’s, Gap, Applebees, Subway, they were all there and I was able to get the exact amount I wanted for each. Dropped $ 400 on gift cards, but I’m very appreciative for the convenience of being able to find everything I needed in one stop. Thanks Walgreens.

Many people have that place where «everybody knows their name.» For most, it’s the local pub, a favorite restaurant or a store that gets the bulk of your paycheck. For me, it’s Walgreens.
Yeah, I’m that exciting.
I find myself here (in the drive-​through; sometimes I can’t even be bothered to get out of my jammies) more often than one would think. And usually they’re on top of things, except for the time when they gave me someone else’s prescription by mistake. Whoops. But accidents happen, and the overworked pharmacists never make me feel like a loopy broad who takes a veritable variety pack of medications. I like to stay healthy. And thanks to Walgreens, I will be. Or, at least as healthy as I’m possible of being, with the help of modern medicine and all.
Cue maniacal laughter… because «Carrie» and «healthy» are not usually two words you put together.
Thanks Walgreens. You give me a reason to reach for a glass of water first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
