“Had to make note of the excellent service I received today at this location inside Schnuck's. I had contact with a tech and a pharmacist and both were EXCELLENT. I had an unusual prescription request due to some upcoming extended travel. I was expecting it to be a pain, but they handled it quickly and efficiently. Same with the vaccine updates I had before my trip. Really great work with nothing but smiles on the faces of all involved.”

“I never thought to review this Walgreens, until I experienced... Other busy Walgreens. Whether drive through or in store, I have never waited more than 10 or so minutes before getting my prescription. After visiting other stores, I've realized how lucky I've been... The employees are kind and understanding, but also concise. I didn't realize the value of the last point until I had to pickup at a different place in town, and the line moved so, so incredibly painfully slow. It maybe took 40 minutes to get my prescription. With this Walgreens, the worst I fear is a 5 minute delay, but usually I get my prescriptions immediately. It's so easy to take good service for granted, so I wanted to give this pharmacy team their kudos. People with negative things to say often dominate reviews, and I don't feel like the positive experiences (that I've been having for years) are represented at all, so just establishing how efficient and informative this pharmacy had been. Please take negative reviews with a grain of salt. Overall, I've been more than satisfied when filling prescriptions here.”
