They were delicious! Go get you some ASAP!!”

“People that work there are very nice, also the store it’s self is great because the owners do not move stuff around that often which I find great because I get what I need and I’m in and out of there within minutes, if I’m not I am usually talking to the owner or the workers.”

“I frequent this location many times. Everyone I visit this location everyone that works there says hello. It makes me feel known and acknowledged. When I read the reviews, first world problems. Guys it’s not the end of the world. I come to this location often and don’t expect the cashier to recognise me because they get a lot of people. When I came to the counter with things I wanted to purchase, he asked if I wanted a bag, usually the items I purchase don’t need bags. The employee that was working there, Koushik, remembered that I liked my things in a bag. Every time I come to this location everyone is pleasant and wonderful. Shout out to Koushik for making my day. Thank you and I will be back!”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Walgreens Photo Department at 540 N. Schmale Road. I came in to have several family photos enlarged for a special picture wall I’m creating, and Luke and his manager, Quy, provided exceptional customer service from beginning to end. I was there for over an hour trying to get everything just right. I wanted 11x14 photos with mats for 16x20 frames, and Luke didn’t just tell me what to do—he patiently walked me through the process and helped me get it done correctly. Both Luke and Quy offered suggestions to improve the quality of my photos and genuinely cared about how the finished pictures would look. What impressed me most was that Luke stayed about 30 minutes past his scheduled time to finish helping me, with his manager allowing him the time to make sure I was completely taken care of. He certainly didn’t have to do that, and I truly appreciated it. Great customer service can sometimes feel hard to find, which makes it even more important to recognize people when they go above and beyond. Luke and Quy were patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They even encouraged me to come back Monday with another photo so they could help me with that one as well. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to help me create my picture-perfect family wall. Your kindness and outstanding service meant more to me than you probably realized. Walgreens is fortunate to have you both! ❤”
