Walgreens

Worst service ever. I wish this wasn’t my closest store. I spend a minimum of 20 minutes every time I come here waiting to pick up my pictures. Awful!

Every time I come to this Walgreens in gladstone I must wait a minimum of 5 minutes in line due to a coupon issue with someone in front of me. It seems like this store caters to drug addicts because every time I’m there the store seems to be full of them. The older gal cashier is very slow at her job! I came in to get passport picture taken after the supervisor yelled across the store the picture guy showed up and took our pictures. The next day at the passport office in oregon city we were informed our pictures would not work. The pictures were taken too close up and we had to pay an additional 15 $ for retakes. Do not step foot on this Walgreens unless you purposely want to be disappointed.

I walk and drive this Walgreens every day. I would rather go to Fred Meyer. Their prescription center doesn’t take ODS, and they have much better stuff at FM. Their customer service though is good and so I might go in there for a small necessary item now and then, but honestly I’d rather just drive 5 more minutes to FM.

I will never go back to this location… like ever. Because of a tube of Burt Bees chapstick in my basket, I was sent over to cosmetics to have my purchases rang up. The first time this happened it was over a bottle of nail polish. Both times there was no one in cosmetics to assist me.
After spending 10 minutes in line listening to the clerk chat up the two people in front of me I unloaded my whole 8 items from my basket. While holding my cash in hand, I was told pack up my stuff because the big bad chapstick was from the cosmetics department and apparently only they could ring me up. Guess what, the shift manager had come over because the only person allowed to ring up chapstick took a break. Fail

This new Walgreens in great. I used to make the arduous journey up the hill to the Warner Milne store– but, fret no more! There’s now a cookie-​cutter store with new blinding LED makeup displays down here! Same friendly staff you’d expect from the other stores. Lynn (in the suspenders) is always especially friendly in an old-​fashioned way– which I hope they appreciate.
Prices are on-​par with big grocers as well, which is surprising. Keep doing what you’re doing Walgreens.

Awwwwww… don’t you just love that new store smell?!
This newly opened Walgreens is located where the old Gladstone Bowl used to be. On walking into the store I was surprised that the only employee I saw was standing near the windows facing McLoughlin looking for all world as if she wanted to be anywhere but there.
Thank goodness I had a prescription to fill and was in Pharmacy Manager Donna’s capable hands. She seemed genuinely happy to transfer my prescription from another Walgreens, help walk me through my new insurance information and even gladly took the coupon I had. All with a smile on her face and an abundance of patience. Of course, since I was the only person within a 10 yard radius of the pharmacy this might have helped.
While waiting for the prescription to be filled I purused the vitamin aisle. Not being much of a shopper I didn’t really look around the rest of the store… I mean, how much different can it be than any of the other Walgreens?
The entire visit was less than 10 minutes so I was super happy about that. I’m extremely excited to be able to fill a prescription at a location less than 3 minutes from home.
