Walgreens

Have no idea why people are having issies with the pharmacy. Im in and out within a few minutes every time i go there. If they ever need to order anything they explain it to me and why they dont/cant have it in stock. Maybe go to the pharmacy acting like an adult ( without the childlike entitlement of "me first" ) and youre going to have a professional and coueteous expirience. If you treat people like dirt, how do you expect them to treat you? Seriously...

Being on a controlled substance I've run into a lot of pharmacists/ pharmacy techs who are rude, judgemental and will sometimes go out of their way to make obtaining my medication much more difficult than necessary. I recently switched to wallgreens after dealing wifh stigma from the pharmacist at cvs across the way for over a year and man it is so refreshinf to engage with people who are kind. Nonjudgemental and who genuinely care about my wellbeing. I wanna give a about out to Lauren in particular who's always gone above and beyond to make sure i have what i need on time and being an absolute sweetheart overall. Thanks girl!

I've been going to this pharmacy for more than 30 years. The people there are great and go out of their way to help you and go above and beyond for me always.The transition to Walgreens was a year in the making. The same pharmacists are there.

Walgreens in EL did seem to have a challenge changing from Rite Aid Personally I had no troubles while this changeover was occurring
The staff is friendly and courteous

always there for me

Close to the interstate so good location. Not fair to rate this store concurrent with a pharmacy. Separate them out people!

As a drugstore, I found friendly, helpful staff on my travels here. Just a reminder, if you go anywhere with a chip on your shoulder and/or expecting to be treated like the Queen of Sheba, good luck, to you oblivious narcissists.

Good selection of products for personal care as well as fun items like puzzles, snacks, cards, and planners. They really have a little bit of everything, like a tiny Wal-Mart.

Disregard all pharmacy reviews as subjectivity completely skews the pharmacy experience. The average customer does not understand the complexities of all that a pharmacist does making sure your doctor is prescribing the right drug and right dose to you, while navigating the insurance company maze. The pharmacy technicians usually take the brunt of impatient people who are not feeling well, expecting to get the medicine they think they should have, at the exact time they show up, and at a price lower than they think they should pay. Never mind having to deal with, and treat respectfully, those that do abuse the system getting their meds for free, without working but having the latest iPhone because they really are selling their pills.

i go here to get tea and candy all the time, and if you need any of that, they have you covered. Although according to the other reviewers, maybe dont get your prescriptions here

Very nice people there, very helpful, though

Very helpful.

It's a nice store - remember, the pharmacy closes for lunch !!

The old blond lady that works at the pharmacy is super rude (I'd love to use a different word that starts with a B). I'll never come back here. CVS is right across the street.

The other day, I witnessed what I presume to be one of the managers here, Sherri, make an incredibly rude abs potentially racist remark towards one of her employees. I've been in the store a few times, and this isn't the first time I've seen her do something like this. She also doesn't discipline employees who are on their phones while on register IN FRONT OF A LINE OF CUSTOMERS. She should be fired and replaced immediately. A toddler would be a great improvement

‼RUDE & DISHONEST STAFF‼

I went here trying to add cash to my CashApp, since the app lists Walgreens as a place where you can do that.

The girl working was inattentive and very standoffish. It took a few minutes for her to actually come to the register and help me, but when I asked her to load $5 cash to my CashApp card she refused. She was very rude and accused me of being a "scam" , but how is it a scam when you can see the money in my hand....

Then she tried to tell me they don't do paper cash to cashapp at this store, which is a LIE because I've done it at this EXACT Walgreens several times before.

So I asked for a manager and the girl said "there is no manager." another lie.

Still waiting on my covid test results after 4 days. Got a rapid test, they called me saying it was inconclusive and asked me to come back again so I did. Two days later, no result. I called and they said they messed up and put it in as pcr by accident and it takes 24-48 hours for the results. Now 96 hours later still no results. My sister went to CVS and got her result in one and a half hour. It should not take anyone 5 days waiting on a covid test results
Dear walgreens,
I do not want the result. Please keep it and give it kisses for me.

Very poor experience.

Walgreens Store #17893,340 FLANDERS ROAD,East Lyme, CT 06333

Michaels( Store Manager), is very rude and disrespectful. uncooperative and stubborn. I never want to visit Walgreens stores if Walgreens hires employee like Michaels( Store Manager). Very disappointed with her.

One star, and it's one hundred percent because the manager here. Sherri is insufferable and treats her employees unfairly and rudely. She shouldn't work here, she should be fired.
