Called 71st in the morning for a product and was told they had more than enough and upon arrival at 2 they didn't have any! Went to 79th and theyhad 6. The manager held 2 for me at the new location. Excellent service ! Her name was Melody!L

Walgreens at 8628 s. Cottage Grove in Chicago, Ill 60619 ... needs the attention of corporate office - not only do they have long waiting lines (clearly understaffed), the empty freezers and coolers are also filthy .. this is not a one time thing this is EVERYDAY ... please keep in mind there are no grocery stores in this immediate area ... needless to say I feel for those who live in this area and don't have cars .... this is horrible, the conditions are deplorable ... what about our disabled and elderly???!!!!Walgreens what are your plans for this community?Are we not eligible for purchasing clean food from a freezer at safe temperatures?Should we not expect a clean cooler and freezer, or is that too much to expect for a BIG BOX STORE like WALGREENS?

Only one cashier working the line checking people out, assisting with pick ups and whatever else. She was quick, pleasant, warm hearted, and had us laughing. Exactly what was needed.

If I could give this Walgreens ZERO STARS I WOULD. Picked up my prescription was given the wrong medication that could have caused severe side effects- placed on hold 18 minutes then hung up on- the lady answering keeps saying thank you for calling Walgreens please hold at least 10xs… such a waste of labor just see what the person is calling for. The drive thru line is always 30 minutes to pick up go inside the computer up front not working employees scrambling to use computer and printer in rear of the pharmacy- PLACE A SERVICE CALL GET THE COMPUTER FIXED ITS SIMPLE! The shelves are empty because all the merchandise is on the floor in crates with all the employees running through the back door by pharmacy like it’s an obstacle course to walk in here. A disgrace to the community a total disrespect for my health giving me the wrong medication- at this point… WHAT ARE YOU EVEN OPEN FOR? The place needs a major management and personnel change and training like immediately

This walgreens, specifically the pharmacy lacks professionalism and organization. It's closest to my home so I've continued to give chances they do not deserve. We were denied covid tests with reservations, refused exams at appointment time because they were on break, results jot returned when promised. It is faster to physically come to store than getting a hold of someone on the phone. I have complained to corporate and there was no follow up. This pharmacy deserves zero stars.

I wish I could give them no stars how the the pharmacy moves they told me my medicine would be ready at 3:00. It still wasn’t ready waited a whole hour and it’s definitely best to go in because they can’t multitask

I would like to thank the people who work in the Walgreens on 79th and Jeffrey. I've been going to this Walgreens for many years. I would like to thank the people who work in the Walgreens on 79th and Jeffrey. Many Walgreens have closed in the Black Communities. However, this Walgreens has remained open. I appreciate all of you.I

Both 1st and 2nd vaccines took way longer than it should. The 1st dose I waited almost an hour waiting to fill out forms, which was sitting at the window the whole time. Now today I’m here early for the 2nd dose, and now I’m having to wait once again. I pre-filled out the forms this time so why am I waiting. It’s hardly no customers in pharmacy. But I guess this what happens at this location. never again!

Their machine can't tell how much is on your link card, so it just registers as zero. I had to by my groceries in my own money and when I found out my link balance and came to return my groceries it took at least 20 mins just to return them because the cash register apparently wasnt working. Then the manager treated me like it was my fault.

I decided to go to have my prescriptions filled here because they had some good reviews. However the pharmacist was very rude and condescending. Why do we have to put up with this type of ignorance in communities of color? Black people more times than not seem to get off on trying to make you feel less than...unnecessarily. I will NEVER go back to this store...EVER!!!!

Called to ask a question and he answered. I tried to ask another one but he quickly hung up. Plain rude, the call didn't even last 10 seconds.

The company as a whole is overpriced. Staff is personable, save for a few. Since its close that enhances the appeal.
