Walgreens

Scheduled a booster 2 weeks in advance, went to the appointment, pharmacist said they were short staffed and "had lots of prescriptions to fill" and refused to give us our boosters, also citing "the process takes a long time" - for sure, the prep and paperwork for a 5 second shot must be super time consuming! We took work off for this appointment AND the next day, cool cool. CVS across the street is the way to go, always professional, always on time, the only reason I scheduled w/ Walgreens in the first place is because CVS was out of appointments. Don't waste your time : thanks Walgreens!

Older store, set up of aisles and pharmacy is kind of awkward. They don't carry a lot of certain items that most other Walgreens do. Example: no prepaid cell phones+, etc. Needs updating and more easily navigated aisles and pharmacy

This is by far the worst Walgreens I’ve been to - very understaffed and the one staff member I spoke to was extremely rude. I asked him a question and he completely dismissed me walking by me as if I hadn’t spoken. When I tried to catch his attention yet again by saying hello he just snapped out an “I can hear you”. I was baffled and upset by his behavior and response - I did not find what I was looking for where he said it would be and I was too anxious to go ask again. I left the store and took my business to the CVS across the road. Avoid this place and go elsewhere if possible.

If they are out of stock of my rx, which is 9/10 times, I never get any notification so I show up for what I need, and end up having to skip days and miss work. When your store and pharmacy are garbage and poorly run it actually affects people’s health and their lives. Running a functioning pharmacy seems too difficult for any chain store n central square. When I had a problem not related to this inexcusable situation the manager was just some teenage boy who did everything in his power not to be helpful/surely get back to his Minecraft game. Badly run all-around.

Great place to shop. They leave you alone, and the homeless man there even opens the door for you and says "God bless you" even if you do not give him a gift of mercy. The staff is helpful whenever you request anything. I've gone in wearing saccloth looking a hot mess and they give me whatever item I want treating me as a person. I go in there with a suit and get treated the same way as i get treated when I look a mess. WE NEED MORE COMPANIES THAT BEHAVE THIS WAY!

Staff are not knowledgeable about the medicines and though the online shows item as available, it's tough to find the medicines in store. No staff were ready to help.

This Walgreens has what you need but has been very slow every time I have gone in the past year. I know there are staffing challenges but just be aware. They do not have any self checkout options. There is a FedEx drop off, you just have to ask!

I was paying cash for an item for 5 dollars and the cashier insisted that I touch the computer screen by the register. I refused since these screens are touched by thousands of people. Then the cashier swore at me and told me I could not buy the item. So you might not want to visit this location because the help is very low end and this store feels like it run by gangs.

Totally understaffed and mismanaged. Bizarrely bad compared to most Walgreens. Go to CVS instead.

The pharmacy team at this Walgreen's is consistently and particularly incompetent. If I'm not waiting an unacceptable amount of time for them to find my prescription, I'm waiting in an equally unacceptably long line. I'm so sad that the Porter Square location is closing. I will give this location two stars because in general I like Walgreen's and I have not interacted with the managing pharmacist so maybe they're great. That won't stop me from trying another location.
