“I didn’t catch his name but the pharmacist I just spoke to about a specific medication was so kind and helpful, my pharmacy Is out of my birth control which I use as intended but also to manage migraines, he told me they had it, he’s reach out to the pharmacy and have it ready for me today, and was so helpful.”
“Blown away by their pharmacy prompt and friendly service. I am from Florida and will be in the area for a few months and yet they take care of my medication refills well.”
“Noah was very helpful finding things. There were only 5 ppl in the store when I was there. Handicap accessible. Handicap parking . This is a good size store with drive thru.”
“I love Shaws! Y’all always do a great job on my pickup orders! Items are always packed with care and ready on time!! I also like how the app is functional, and item availability is typically very accurate! (Hannaford I’m looking directly at you girl) Staff have always been nice to me as well. One note is I’m vegan, and I’d love more vegan options/selections! The vegan Kraft Mac n cheese was great, please do bring that back!”
“I work long hrs and travel and they have always worked with my DR and myself to make sure I’m ok. You can’t ask for better than that. They understand if you work and travel that it’s important to try and work through the situation to make sure you will be ok.”
“I recently experienced an agonizing, multi-week complication with Federal Express. Walgreens, acting as a third-party FedEx pick up point, was put in the middle of a royal FedEx screw up regarding a mishandled, expensive item, which was initially delivered to Walgreens. Long story short - FedEx delivered the item to the Walgreens and two days later, picked it back up again, in error with a bunch of other packages, without advising me or Jill’s crew of the mistake. Tracking down the item and physically getting my hands back on it after several days of dealing with the incredibly inept FedEx monster (do not trust them to ship or deliver anything, but that’s for another review.) was no small feat. The bright spot here was store manager Jill. Throughout my intense days of frustration and torture at the hands of FedEx, she kept my spirits up, took down my phone number so that she could personally advise me when the package was back in her team’s possession, as she could tell how important finding a resolution for the FedEx fumble was to me. The issue was finally resolved, and all the while, Jill was super positive and encouraging and classy. Never at any moment did she speak poorly of FedEx, or throw them under the bus. She just made her leadership look effortless and controlled the situation with complete professionalism and empathy. In my honest opinion, she deserves a BIG raise from both Walgreens AND FedEx, as she proactively absorbed complaints on behalf of both organizations, and served as an excellent ambassador for Walgreens, all while covering FedEx‘s butt. The world needs more Jills!!!”
