    Our road trip brought us into Ava, Missouri, one of those small Ozarks towns that immediately gives…read moreyou a sense of place. Coming into town, the city limit sign and the drop in speed let you know you've arrived somewhere that serves as more than just a dot on the map. I spent a little time learning about Ava while we were here, and it quickly became clear that this town is the hub for the surrounding area. A manager at Walmart told me that this store and the businesses around it are essentially the central gathering place for the entire county, and after being here, that feels exactly right. In a rural area like this, it's where people come to shop, get gas, run errands, and connect with everyday life. Since we're headed to visit my cousin in Mountain Home, Arkansas, in about an hour, we stopped to pick up flowers as a welcoming gift. While I was there, I also looked for one of those exterior windshield scrubber squeegees for the road ahead. The regular ones were sold out, but they did have an "intelligent" Rain-X style spray squeegee. One of the associates mentioned there's an O'Reilly down the street, so I may deal with that another time. One small moment that really stood out was seeing a gentleman bringing his grocery bags back into Walmart for recycling. It was such a simple thing, but it said a lot about the rhythm of this town and how this store really serves as part of the community's daily routine. That's what I love about traveling by road. Even a quick stop in a town like Ava tells a story. You learn a little local history, pick up something useful for the drive, find flowers for family, and get a glimpse of how a community comes together in one place before continuing on down the road toward Arkansas.

    The store is generally in order. At times shoes are messy; sometimes clothing racks have tangled…read moreclothes. They have good produce most of the year. Carts are almost always available inside. Returns have been easy. During Black Friday, they have always done a good job keeping things organized.

    A very quick stop to hit the ATM in the lobby area. Definitely pleasant - this store is in very…read moregood condition. Well stocked and laid out like just about every other Walgreens I've been to this year. Once inside, you wouldn't know if this was Hartsville South Carolina or Burlington Vermont. But we're here in Harrison. Personal care, cosmetics, greeting cards, candy, over-the-counter medication and a full service pharmacy, photos and more. All the usual goodies.

    0 stars Was told by my dr to get insulin today or go to…read morethe E.R. My pharmacy did not have in stock. I called multiple places and Walgreens is the only place that had it. My dr. called in in directly to avoid any problems, due to the sense of urgency. I personally couldn't get anyone on the phone over an hour after he called it in, so I just went. The lady there was the rudest person I've ever met. She had no clue who I was and said she couldn't see where anything was called in. She told me to give her an hour and she would look through her unopened orders and call me. I went home and waited 2 hours, no call. Of course, I was put on hold and couldn't speak to anyone. So I drove there again! After a very long wait with no line, I was told I couldn't get because my insurance wouldn't approve. I know is bs! After 30 min wait got that handled. Finally got my insulin, drove home only to find out, no needles. Drove back there (5 miles obtw) and same lady told me, "yea I know but dr. didn't say anything about needles so you can't have." I asked, why wasn't this explained? The same miserable lady (hates men obtw) refused to give me needles. She then refused to help me anymore. She got another lady to come help me and gave me my needles . I will never, ever go back to that place as long as I live! Obtw, never seen a pharmacist and never was able to talk to one. I could have died without the insulin and told the lady this, and she said she did not care. Unbelievable! It's astonishing the treatment I received from this place. Obtw this is a pharmacist and the drive through windows are so filthy you can barely see through them. This place needs shut down immediately! My apologies for the "novel" but people need to know to NOT GOT THERE!

This is the only place they sell Ice Mountain water, so i do drive a bit to stock up. They have the photo section, all the makeup that i use, the clearance isle( which I LOVE :) and everything else you could love about a local area Walgreens. Masks aren't require but the do sell them and they practice social distancing if this matters to you. The place is clean and organized as with all others. People at the registers are very friendly. It makes me feel like I'm back home!

    I am only giving this place a 1 Star because they do not offer a "0" The absolute worst Walgreens…read morein the world. I have a total of meds I take after my stroke. One of the most important of those meds I have not had in over a month, I have been there two times a week for the past 5 weeks. The workers talk like they are reading from a script. Walgreens has trained these people well. All they do is tell lies. It will be here tomorrow, the truck is running late the same excuses i have heard over and over. I talked to one lady it will be here tomorrow she said. I went the next day. Then she tells me I need a script code from the doctor. The code was sent before 8:30 the next morning. I go back to Walgreens the same day for them to tell me they do not have any they will have to order it. This time a young man tells me, I am looking at our order and your meds are on the truck. Our truck will be here by 8:00 am. I called at 9:00 the response was we are still getting things off the truck. I called back at 12:20 and guess what I was told the same thing again, we are still unloading the truck. Keep in mind my meds HAVE TO BE REFRIGARATED. So how long can it stay on a truck? I have now gone 5 weeks without my meds all because every time I go to get them I am told another LIE. This place really needs to shut. I have complained to their headquarters, I have called and explained to the store manager and I have even talked to two different pharmacist, its the same go around the same robot talking people. Lots of promises it will be here it will be here it will be here. Its a lot of my fault. I should have had all my scripts switched to a different place after week two. But I kept trusting them over and over,, so that is all my fault. THEY PLAIN AND SIMPLE JUST DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHU NEED THEIR MEDS AND TRUST THE PEOPLE TO GET THEM.
