  Tl;dr: The pharmacist lied to me and her co-workers laughed and scoffed at my serious question and concerns. They deceived me into buying the pills they had instead of my Dr's prescription, which is highly unethical. This review is for the pharmacy. I went to get my regular refill, the pharmacist told me that they didn't have it. I asked specifically if all Walgreens have stopped carrying it, or just this Walgreens. She told me that no Walgreens has it. Because she made it seem like I didn't have a choice, I got another brand that they had available. When I got home, I looked up the new brand. It has a lot of negative reviews and people react badly to it. So I went to the other Walgreens closer to Elmhurst station and they were able to give me my original pills. So clearly, the pharmacist in this Walgreens LIED to me about it being not available. Elmhurst station Walgreens told me that I can take the new brand back to this Walgreens so I can get the pills that the doctor originally prescribed (otherwise, I would be short on the pills). This Walgreens refused to cancel the new pills. Okay~ No problem, I will just have to go to my doctor and get an extra prescription. But then I wanted to be certain wether it's just this Walgreens that doesn't have my pills or if all Walgreens have stopped - so I will need to change my drugstore. Now they tell me that they don't know. I told them that I'd rather not switch pills since people have terrible reactions to the new one. They (a lanky Asian guy and a chubby woman) just laughed and scoffed at me saying "it's the same thing". Yes, they do have the same active ingredients, but the inactive ingredients are vastly different. And people may have allergic reactions or other adverse effects to inactive ingredients. During the whole time, they were doing other things and talked to me like I was an idiot. Their behavior was extremely dismissive, rude, and unprofessional. As pill sorting robots they are fine, but if you need any help, they are unqualified.

  Extremely long lines, My experience today i waited 48 minutes on line only to get to the counter and find out, my prescriptions are still not ready. This after i received a call from Walgreens three hours earlier that my prescriptions were ready, needless to say i was told to try again tomorrow.. Walgreens lost me and my families business, very upset city employee with great insurance.

  They have parking and a decent selection for a Walgreens. There’s a huge cosmetics section especially. Otherwise, the staff here, every single time I get attitude from them. They look unhappy which is not something customers should see. I know we’re all human but it makes the company look bad

  Very friendly staffs. The parking lot is for customers (30 minutes max). They have pharmacy , photo center , pretty much everything. Probably not a good place for your passport/visa photos though. All they have is a small compact camera with poor lighting.
