I came to this location to grab an energy drink before my workout, which was the whole purpose of…read moremy visit. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted. No big deal since I was only there for a drink. I grabbed one from the cooler and walked up to the register. While I was checking out, I noticed another fridge to the right of the register that had the drink I actually wanted. I told the employee, a lady with red hair, that I wanted to swap it out and that I would put the other drink back on my way out. I don't think she heard me or was really paying attention because she was watching TV on her phone while ringing me up. After I paid, she told me to put the drink back, even though I had already said I would. At that point, I was getting annoyed by the lack of customer service. On my way out, I opened the fridge and put the drink back. As I started walking outside, I heard her yell that I had left the fridge open. I went back inside and pushed the door shut. I guess it closed a little hard because she immediately told me I didn't need to be so rude and then told me to never come back. Keep in mind she was yelling at me at this point. The whole situation was unnecessary and could have been avoided if she had simply swapped the drink for me like most stores would. Instead, she was more focused on watching TV than helping customers. Don't tell me to do your job when I had already offered to put the drink back in the first place.

So avoid using the produce coupons with them and just go to a supermarket where you could get fresh fruits and veggies.

He gave my 2 kids toothbrushs during checkout. I recommend this store for those in the area looking for Indonesian food supplies.

As soon as I entered the store, I noticed a female employee(jordy) eyes glance up really quick from behind the register and her uncomfort gaze followed me and my bf as we browsed at the store items. She went to the back stock room and urgently came out with a male employee. Their eyes followed us closely throughout our visit. At first, I thought it might be standard customer service, but it quickly became clear that there was an odd intensity to their attention. It felt invasive and made me highly self-conscious. What was even more troubling were the subtle, yet unmistakable signs of racial bias that I sensed during my time there. I believe that every customer deserves to feel safe and respected, regardless of their background. Regrettably, I felt judged and unwelcome, which is a sentiment I never expected to encounter in a retail environment. It's disheartening to think that there are still places where certain individuals might be treated differently based on their race. As we approached the counter to pay for our items, I reached for a pill container on displayand the make employee moved a small tip jar away as it was near the pill holder product... weird. This experience has left a sour taste in my mouth, and I won't be returning to this location. I hope the management takes steps to ensure that all customers are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, regardless of who they are. I would recommend that fellow shoppers consider their options before visiting this store. It's a shame, as I had high hopes for this place, but my experience has made it clear that improvement is needed.

The GNC website clearly states that online purchases may be returned to a GNC retail store. Although I explained this to the female employee whom I believe is Judy, she didn't care and shoo'd me away. She had an absolutely crappy ass attitude and rude tone of voice. This store is the local GNC I shop at, but not anymore, I'm never coming back after today's incident. To be fair, Corporate GNC is at some fault for this return policy and should provide updated company policy training to all stores. It may be helpful to differentiate the "franchise owned" versus "corporate owned" stores and adjust their return policy because it sure isn't universal across the board since these franchise owned stores don't follow policy and apparently can do whatever they want... because verbatim "the store takes a loss for online order returns" -judy.

I rarely leave reviews anymore, but my experience at this Walgreens' photo department was so unacceptable that it warrants documenting. I submitted a photo order at 7:07 PM, and the confirmation email stated it would be ready by 8:15 PM. At 8:10 PM, I received another email saying there was a "delay," with no explanation, no updated ETA, and no further communication for the rest of the night. Because I needed the item for the following day, I waited. By 9:28 PM--nearly 2.5 hours past submission and an hour past the promised time--I called the store. A woman named Evelin answered, took my name, and said she would check on the order. I was placed on hold for 17 minutes. I could hear her helping other customers, talking to coworkers, and clearly forgetting I was even on the line. I eventually hung up and called back at 9:45 PM--only to have the call instantly hung up on. I called again at 9:46 PM and reached Bryant, who told me the order "was still printing" and asked whether I could come immediately since they close at 10 PM and would not be open tomorrow. While pulling up directions, another employee abruptly took the phone and asked, "How long until you get here?"--no greeting, no courtesy, just a rude, demanding tone. I said I'd arrive in 7 minutes. I got to the store at 9:58 PM and came face to face with that same employee, Andre. When I asked what information he needed, he stared at me for about 10 seconds, then said "I need your full name" without saying another word and a bored expression on his face. I gave him my name and told him I was the person he had spoken with on the phone. He walked to the photo area, and I followed. Only then did I find out the truth: the order was not printing at all. They hadn't even started it. I know this because the sticker on the print clearly showed a timestamp of 9:59 PM--one minute after I arrived. He had told me it was "still printing" when it hadn't been started at all. It took 18 minutes to complete the print. So after submitting the order at 7:07 PM--an order they promised would take about an hour--they didn't begin working on it until 9:59 PM, when I physically arrived at the store. The store was empty, it was a typical quiet Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving, and there was no legitimate reason for them to ignore the order. Instead of doing their job, they sent one vague "delay" email and then simply... stopped. No updates, no customer communication, no professionalism. In total, I waited: 2+ hours waiting past the original promised time 17 minutes on hold 3 minutes on the follow-up call 18 minutes in-store And not a single employee except Bryant showed even basic courtesy. Andre, in particular, was the rudest Walgreens employee I have ever encountered. His attitude, dismissiveness, and dishonesty were unacceptable. Whether he is a manager or simply acting like one, Walgreens Corporate needs to reevaluate who they allow to run their stores. The entire experience--from the lack of communication, to the forgotten phone call, to the lie about the order status, to the rude in-person interaction--was unprofessional, inconvenient, and extremely frustrating. This experience has ensured I won't be returning to this location at all.
