I NO LONGER FEEL "SAFE" AT THIS WALGREENS!…read more This is not about the service I received in the Greek town location. It's about what happened after I left the store. This occurred approximately 14-hours ago (12:30-ish am/2/3/24). It was around mid-night that I decided to walk down the street a few blocks to Walgreens. I only purchased cereal and milk... and a small bag of popcorn. For the record, hopefully everything inside the store was caught on the security cameras. While shopping in the aisles, I had spoken to a police officer who was shopping, thanking him for his service. They do a job that you couldn't pay me enough to do. Anyway, after walking slowly through the store (I walk slow due to health problems), I paid for each item then stepped aside to make room for the next customer while I looked at my receipt and put the items in my own (blue & white) shopping bag. It's made of a sort of sturdier than paper cloth. I got myself together and finally exited the store at a slow walking pace. By the time I reached the traffic light at the end of the block (going north at Monroe), I stopped to open my bag of popcorn. I was struggling to open the bag, due to health problems). Suddenly, a slightly taller than me, heavy-set male approached me from behind, demanding in a threatening tone to show him what's in my bag. I initially thought I was being robbed. I slowly turned around asking, "Why? (trying to stall and access)". The street was dark, isolated, and no traffic. Where's a cop car when you need one? Hey. There's a cop inside the Walgreens. That said, the guy kept demanding I show him what's in my bag. Was I being mugged? I asked, "Who are you?" He seemed to get frustrated not answering my question and demanded I show him the contents of my bag. Now, I really think I'm getting mugged. I still asked him, "Why?" He got even more frustrated and said, "Just open your bag!" Once again, I asked "Why?" Was this a hungry homeless person?,,, Retarded?... I mean, mentally challenged. Should I scream? I suddenly thought to myself... Is this a Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman moment (Feb 26, 2012) when a non-Black guy (hiding a gun on his person) stalks a lone African-American male in a dark, isolated area with no witnesses to start a physical altercation (fight) after which said non-Black guy pulls out the gun he was hiding, to murder the African-American male... Then claim he feared for his life, shooting in self-defense of the altercation he started with a guy who was minding his own business? He then said something like. "There's a box in your bag". A box? I turned to look inside my bag to see what box he was referring to. Before I knew it, he reached inside my bag and grabbed my box of cereal (Cheerios) and walked off real fast in the direction of the Walgreens. Did I mention, I don't walk fast? I walked back to the store to tell the police officer inside (provided he was still there) and the Walgreens that I had just been robbed by a hungry homeless person. He took my box of Cheerios and ran off. I still had the milk. I was willing to risk it sounding funny, By the time I reached the front entrance, the young woman who waited on me at the cash register met the guy just outside the store. She was talking to him. Oh... Is this moron a Walgreens employee who didn't have the sensed to identify himself as such? He was not wearing a Security uniform, and he was not the police. When I got there, the cashier was so apologetic. She told me that after my very slow departure from the store, an alarm went off. Really? It must've been silent because I didn't hear any alarm... and I was walking slow as a snail. I asked, "This is what sent this moron (still standing there for some reason) stalking down the street behind me?"... Oh... I get it now... He was treating me like I was a CRIMINAL. He expected me to blindly do as he said while refusing to answer my basic questions ("Who are you?" and "Why do you want to see what's in my bag?") Had I realized that, this would've ended with me cussing him da'hell out on the street... and probably escalating. Why didn't anyone tell the cop inside the store? Why send an inexperienced, over-excited, don't know anything employee who is not even law enforcement to assault me? OK. Now I can't help this. Was it because I'm black? Although the cashier apologized, this incident is still with me. For all I know, I was targeted, it was done one purpose, and I'm not convinced it won't happen again. Anyway, I just thought I should document this incident somewhere, in case incidents like this happen all the time to black people at this Walgreens location... or any others.

Mostly stopped here to get water and snacks. It's a rather small, weirdly laid out space. Aisles are tight so if you need to get an item at one end of the aisle and someone is in it, you will have to wait. Most items are priced the way you expect in a convenience store. What's wrong with this place is how busy it can and does get. Being connected to a building that houses a college makes it a nightmare at times. Especially when a horde comes in. One last thing: Do y'all in Chicago really pay that much for a pack of cigarettes?

I have never laughed so hard in my life!!!…read more I went into this location today because it was free Slurpee Day today. I walked to the front counter and asked if they were participating. The guy behind the counter never answered me and then handed me a cup. I said, "Thank you and he would not even look at me!' Fine...I know you have a franchise and you are probably not happy that corporate is giving away free Slurpee's but at least acknowledge me. So now on to the funny party. As I was getting my free slurpee...the Columbia College Students must have been in between classes...well they started streaming into here and the two guys started yelling...you need to come to the counter to get a cup...at the same time there were real customers actually getting coffee...the students ignored the guy behind the counter but the people buying coffee actually went to the counter to get cups. The people getting coffee did not need to go to the counter. It was like watching a comedy of errors. Also imagine that the guys behind the counter were also talking in English with Indian accents. Yes I felt like it was an episode of Seinfeld...because it did not seem real but it kept happening. The guy behind the counter kept shouting to the students but they kept ignoring and heading to the Slurpee machine. I was glad I was leaving because this looked like it might get ugly. I am giving this review of 4 stars to Corporate 7 Eleven for being nice enough to give America Free Slurpees. I would give the two workers here zero stars for customer service. They did nothing but yell at customers getting free Slurpee's and were not even friendly when I said, "Thank you to them for being so kind". So I would not come back to this location unless I really need gum or a hot dog that has been cooking for 4 hours.
