We had a need for a needle and thread. My BIL said he thought Walgreens might have a small kit…read more As soon as I walked in, I stepped up to the counter for staff assistance. Staff did not know and called on his intercom. The answer was yes and he sent me to the aisle. I found a few different kits that would be successful. I bought one and was on my way. Parking lot outside. The kit worked out fine. Ten needles are already threaded with various colors.

This review is for the Pharmacy specifically, and for the Walgreens app…read more This pharmacy used to be open 24/7, which was a dream for anyone who works odd hours. I happen to work overnights, and ever since the Covid Era this pharmacy has had limited hours and staff. I used to be able to pick up my prescriptions before or after work - but not anymore. Now, they're closed when I wake up for work and they don't open until three hours after I get out of work. Because I am an adult with a life and other obligations: it is difficult for me to get to Walgreens to pick up my prescription at the very moment it is ready. I recently went into the pharmacy to pick up a script that the app said was ready and - they had cancelled it because I 'did not pick it up in time.' This is not the first time that this has happened to me. I promise I am not lazy, it is just impossible for me to get there the same day. If I have to wait a couple of days - screw me, I guess, because then the prescription has been cancelled and I have to wait 45+ minutes in the store for them to fill it again. On my most-recent trip, the cashier was...and I'm sorry to say this, but I didn't get her name...a hood-rat looking young woman. She had a bad dye job, too-dark makeup, and a nasty attitude. I'd ask her a question ('How long after a prescription is ready do you cancel if it it isn't picked up?') and she'd respond with rolled eyes and an unrelated question ('Did you wanna wait for it or nah?') She mumbled a lot, too: not just to herself but also while speaking to me. She was barely audible, except when I said: 'No, don't bother filling it, I'm not waiting,' and I turned to walk away. Then is when she SCREAMED: 'Well that was rude!!!' Oh, I was rude? For expecting to pick up my prescription that the app said was ready & waiting to be picked up? Alright, then. I filed a complaint about her on the Walgreens site. I moved my prescriptions elsewhere. This pharmacy is a joke. The app is annoying. You can either enable or disable notifications. If you don't enable notifications then you aren't notified when your prescriptions are ready. And a lot of times, you'll get a 'Your prescription is processing' notification, then a 'Your prescription is ready' notification immediately followed by a 'Your prescription is delayed' notification - and then no further notifications, so you have no idea whether your prescription is ready or or not unless you call the pharmacy. I've called the pharmacy - the typical wait time to speak to a live human (not even a pharmacist - just a cashier) is one hour. And If you do enable notifications then you will be notified when your prescriptions are ready BUT you'll also get notifications for when sunscreen is on sale, or what Memorial Day groceries deals are happening, and MORE notifications for every other item that is on sale.

This Rite Aid was incredibly helpful after a different location decided not to thaw any covid…read morevaccine doses. We had made multiple appointments over the course of the day at a different location & after several failed attempts at getting my Son's second Pfizer shot we called this location and not only were they able to get us right in, they were friendly and inviting. They didn't make us feel like they were too busy and didn't even act put out by us coming in at 8PM. The location was clean, every employee greeted us when we arrived and told us to have a good night when we left. Definitely recommend because they were so sweet and helpful accommodating us The first Rite Aid we went to on Seneca ST not only let us know they were too busy and put out by our appointments, but they were completely unhelpful and wasted multiple hours of our day having us schedule online so they'd have time to thaw a dose- then still not having a dose thawed when we came back hours later. They refused to schedule in person despite claiming our online appointments weren't showing on their schedule and just kept telling us to schedule online despite not honoring the 2 appointments we'd already made. The woman finally told me over the phone when I called (because my husband is nicer and was just going to keep making appointments apparently) that they had more important things to do. I suspect the employee at the Seneca St Rite Aid was anti vaccine- why else would she be so incredibly unhelpful to the point of actively hindering - then saying she was too busy and had better things to do? REGARDLESS I'm glad that she was so awful, because I didn't even know THIS location existed. It's not far off my route home and it's way better than the one near my house :)

This Rite Aid is the bees knees because its open 24/7 even on holidays. It's great for a late…read morenight beer run! Pharmacists (notably the drive-thru) and staff are always kind and work fast. Heavily stocked with items beyond the usual pharmaceuticals.
