| - Uh-oh. My boyfriend's back and there's gonna be trouble. And my boyfriend's name is Walgreens. CVS, I'm breaking up with you. It's not me, it's you.
Working nights doesn't always allow me to get my errands done during normal business hours, so many times I rely on the convenience and late hours of the uptown retail stores. It's always been the Epicentre in the past, simply for location, but when CVS didn't have what I needed, I tried out the new Walgreens.
1. It's huge. It's like a mini-Target. You can tell they are really catering to the hotel customers in the area, with pretty much anything you could need. As it happens, I needed a new shower liner since my old one had ripped- they had 2 kinds, while their competition didn't have any. There was also a photo and office center that appeared to have a large-scale printer for business needs.
2. It's clean. The floors are clean, the walls are clean, the lights are bright, the aisles are well stocked.
3. The staff is friendly. And, you know, working. Even with only 1 staff member in the store (or so it appeared) I was greeted, asked if I needed helped finding anything, and then checked out with a smile, as opposed to the other place which just pushes everyone through self-checkout after a certain time, which seems to get earlier and earlier every time I go.
I am officially a Walgreens convert now. It's Facebook official.
