How lucky were we that this place is open 24 hours!…read more An airport mishap caused our bags to go missing and probably won't make it to our hotel until the next day... maybe two... so we stopped by to score basic needs - mostly toiletries. Staff was friendly - even during odd hours of the night - "You have no toiletries?" (Clearly she knew we were tourists.) We explained the whole missing bags thing to clear that up. They had everything we needed - clothes included - because who knows how long before our bags get delivered! Prices were reasonable - none of the tourists rates some places charge. What made it better is that it was only a couple of blocks away from our hotel. We returned a couple more times during the week for more basic stuff - mostly snacks, water and other rehydrating drinks. What I mostly appreciated is how conveniently located it is. In the situation we were in, we were grateful for it being where it is!

I was walking around the French Quarter, two drinks in on my first day in New Orleans, when I saw…read morethis Walgreens on my way back to my hotel. I was about to spend four nights at a writers' conference and had the foresight to drop in and buy a bottle of Advil. If you've been to one Walgreens, you've kind of been to them all, but this one surprised me by keeping its Advil locked up in plastic cases while leaving its entire supply of Sudafed out. The case on my Advil was large and unwieldy, making it slightly more difficult to shoplift. Seems like a wash, though, with the added cost of locking up individual products. At least it was easy to grab the Advil without assistance and check out at the register, where an employee quickly unlocked my purchase. Anyway, that Advil came in handy once I engaged in my premeditated bouts of drunken revelry. I have no particular love for Walgreens, but I'm glad I came across this one when I did.

Sitting at the corner of Commerce and Lafayette, Mini Mart is your old school, local, city center…read moremart that serves as convenience for the many travelers staying in the immediate area. They offer all the standard items of convenience stores from snacks, drinks, lottery in addition to household basics, medicines and of course, souvenirs and NOLA specific goods. Pricing here is a bit high, but that is not surprising. They know they are in a prime location and when you come here, you are paying for convenience. The store needs some TLC conditionally, and a little bit more attention to cleanliness wouldn't hurt. Service was super friendly and welcoming, which was a redeeming quality for this location. Overall, solid 3.5, but the cashier really made our day. We wandered in for a soda and drink, and got what we were after, but if we needed more than that, we would probably go elsewhere due to price point. But again, this spot came in clutch when needed.

The kicker is that I didn't want to use a random ATM in the city based on potential legitimacy issues. Only to get scammed by a billion dollar corporation. The self scan machines let you enter AND PAY for the cash back, and then throw an error and you're unable to get money out. No employee (including the manager) will reverse it, give you the money or do anything other than say "I assure you it didn't charge, it'll fall off your account". Or being told to fight it with my bank. I assure you, we've been back home for 3 weeks, it very much didn't fall off, and I have now been wasting my time with chargebacks through my bank. Don't go here.

The pharmacist has always been very helpful, however as was recently announced, that service will soon end, as they're closing the pharmacy in June and moving customers' prescriptions to the 900 Canal (& Baronne) Street location. On recent visits I've noticed limited inventory in other departments, leading me to question the long-term plans for this once-thriving Walgreens store.

All the drugstores in and around this area were on lockdown and somewhat dingy... I waited 10 minutes for them to unlock a glass case that had some hand lotions of travel size inside it for $5.46. They couldn't find the key and then people kept walking past me to open other cases for people while I waited and my husband got more and more angry... I had looked the small travel-size items and they didn't have what I needed so I felt like I had to wait. Super annoying for such small-ticket items. I suppose there is a lot of theft of those things from this store and area, but still, long time waiting for a $5 lotion.

I placed an order online for a large print job at Walgreens since they were the only option in the…read morearea that could handle it. The closest FedEx was a 15-minute drive away (and the nearby ones in conference centers or hotels would have cost double or triple), ... as someone in town for a conference, I didn't have a car and honestly didn't want to Uber or somewhere. I ordered a fairly large print job with wire binding online, assuming it wouldn't be an issue since their website indicated they could handle it and complete it within my timeframe. I was clearly wrong. The staff member completely botched the order, printing only about one-eighth of what I actually needed. She obviously didn't read the order before starting because it was pretty substantial. I was expecting a call before my trip to tell me it wasn't possible , but when I got the text saying the order was ready the next day, my gut told me something was wrong. I flew in a day early specifically to check on the order, and sure enough, it was messed up. The staff member I spoke with seemed completely disinterested in helping me and just said "Ma'am, I can't really do anything for you." The one thing she did suggest was leaving a note, but then commented that the woman who did the print job was "the store favorite and nothing will get done." I came back the following morning to check again. This time I spoke with the actual staff member who did the print job, and she seemed completely confused about what went wrong. What made the whole experience even worse was when I talked to the manager - instead of addressing his staff's mistake, he seemed to be blaming me for placing such a large print job there in the first place. This seems like something their corporate office could easily fix by updating their website. I've never been somewhere where customer service consisted of blaming the customer instead of taking responsibility for staff training. The only "redeeming" moment was when the frustrated manager told me to just take the incomplete prints for free, calling it "an expensive print job" - which would be true if his staff had been properly trained and actually printed more than one-eighth of my order.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
