“This is the only friendly place to stop for a six-pk.or a fill up in Jonesboro! The staff us super and especially Danny.He always treats everyone great.Nice to see these days!”
“In and out, it's run like a good gas station is supposed to be run. Just wish the combined parking lot\gas island\de-combombuator was a little less chaotic with today's drivers only looking at phone screens to primarily do their driving... I start backing up out of a parking spot and immediately have to start dodging land trains pulling a trailer of gas thirsty equipment through the parking lot.”
“They are the friendliest, most helpful people I have ever seen! Pushed me in the wheelchair so I could get my vaccine and to shop and were very courteous! My favorite place!”
“Been going here since I was a little kid the indians took it over and they realized everyone was complaining because they fired one women then they started losing customers. now they got her back and they are back to being 5 stars.”
“The younger guy with long hair is a good worker. I had my wallet taken on accident from a friend so I didn’t have enough for a water which I thought was 50cents. Was dying of thirst worked outside all day. There I was arguing over 50cents because that’s all I could find ? The guy paid for my drink. Handeled me questioning why a water tripled which was completely out of character for me but desperation does a lot to people. I hope he knows I’m embarrassed for arguing over a dollar Could easily become a manager. I own a buissness and he kept his cool better than I did ? sorry bud I’ll pay it forward thanks”
“Walgreens pharmacy is one of my favorite places to go, bc of the employees. They are very kind, & professional. I believe that Christy saved my life once, by going above & beyond her job scope and finding information I needed. It was unrelated to any meds I was on, but I ended up needing meds to treat it. She, Wendy, Stacie, and the others are always welcoming, & answer any questions I have about my meds. I once saw Barrett deal so calmly with a couple that were some of the worst customers I’ve seen, despite their horrible behavior that wasn’t even a result of an offense on Walgreens’ part. He remained so composed and continued to try to help them, despite the verbal abuse that no one should be subjected to, which tells me he must be very focused on things & centered on good customer outcomes, like I would want someone in charge of my family’s medications to be. I like having a pharmacy that I can look forward to going into, it turns a routine errand into a fun part of my day. There’s just some very smart, professional, and good hearted people in there.”
“Sarah is the most helpful associate I've encountered in any store, ever. She goes beyond and I witnessed this not just with me. I had to dig to get my documents ready for print so it took a bit of time. While there, I noticed how exceptional her customer service skills really are. She made me feel super valued as a customer and a person. Thank you again Sarah!”
“Great small gas station for gas and snacks. It's been here for years.Always greet you with a smile and a hello when you walk in.Gas prices are fairly reasonable.Always seems to be well stocked and clean.Very convenient location for people who live out in the county.”
