Walgreens

I come here when I wanna skip lines at Wal-​Mart or Frys.
Cashier’s are friendly.
Chase ATM located inside but does not allow you to make cash deposits.
Redbox also located inside for all you movie buffs.
I’ve had to come here several times for baby food. There isn’t a big variety of it but it’s great if you need to make that quick stop when you run out of baby food and don’t wanna go to the super market.
Great for that evening milk stop after work. If you’re planning on buying OJ just know that they do not sell any store brand OJ. You’ll have to buy the half gallon name brand juices.
Pharmacists are friendly.
Photo specialists are friendly. Not many of you know but if you have the Walgreens app, you can send photos from your smartphone to the photo center and they will print your pictures while you wait from wherever you’re sending them from. I’ve done this plenty of times and it’s pretty inexpensive.
If you don’t have a Walgreens card sign up for one. It’s free. Use it whenever you shop here and those points add up quick. Save yourself some money!
Overall I like coming to shop here for all my quick stop knick knacks and junk.

When in a pinch and rolling with an anti-​Walmart crowd, the next best thing is Walgreen’s. I managed to come here during a hot afternoon with a few friends attempting to escape the heat while managing to score some much needed items: water, sunglasses, lotion, and gum.
The parking lot wasn’t crowded, in fact for being the 4^th largest city in the US, nothing seems crowded in Phoenix. Desert climate and all, this is one of the most wide open city spaces in America and this Walgreens is just another dot on the venue map.
So away we go into this souped up convenience store. First thing worth embracing? Air conditioning. Lots of wonderful, carbon footprint inducing, cold air producing air conditioning. It felt nice to just peruse the store walking around as if I wasn’t buying anything.
The staff was friendly and did their best to help us find what we needed. They even had us line up in a different line than the main one out front (#1).
The prices didn’t seem to bad. Then I saw the sales tax. It’s almost 10%? Someone deport me back to Oregon /​New York.

(#1) Arizona might be a conservative state, and yes they have the jacked up immigration law, but this was hardly a segregated line. Or … was it?
