I come here to buy my detergent, toilet paper, and spices. The lines are never really long. There is a huge variety of food options here, especially for the single gal. There are tons of discount items usually hair products and random things. I also see clothing available for purchase. The staff is friendly and helpful also.
This is a review of the Walgreens Pharmacy. Have been here several times and picking up medications for family members.
The pharmacy staff is amazing. In this day and age when there are so many medications available it can be very confusing on what to take and when. Half the time going to the doctors is like an all day event. By the time one leaves the office with several script, one does not recalling which is for what and how often to take.
Jenny, the pharmacy tech was so helpful with reading the handwriting of the doctor on the scripts. Described where the cough medication can be found on the shelves. As for the other two scripts she checked for us what it was and even the cost/coverage.
Had questions on dosage and what medications was for. The pharmacist, Song was a wealth of knowledge and called the doctor's office regarding one of the script.
There are many drugstores that are so busy they just fill the scripts, call your name and ring you up. Not at this Walgreens. I feel comfortable every time I bring in scripts from the doctor's office that I will be informed about the medications and how to take them. My family is in good hands.
All of the Walgreens, CVS, Duane Reade's in Elmhurst, Woodside, and Jackson Heights is a disaster! This one specifically is probably one of the worse. Back in the day it was even more disgusting, after going through some interior renovations, the store looks a bit better, however the customer service and the people in here are just a hot mess. The pharmacy at this Walgreens is by far the worse one I've ever been to. They take forever to service you at their counter and the wait time is always really long. Let's not forget the row of homeless folks who loiter right outside of the entrance/exit. Growing up in this neighborhood, there were always a few everyday bums I would see along Broadway and Grand Ave, 20 years later, the homeless epidemic has sky rocketed in Elmhurst. Everything about the exterior of this Walgreens has remained the same. Bunch of bums leaning on a really outdated building. There's also a taco truck that's parked directly in front of this Walgreens. You get the aroma of decent Mexican food, but you get smothered with the stank of those barefooted bums!
Incredibly long lines. The line spanned across the store and disappeared around the corner when it hit the last aisle yet there was only ONE cash register opened, by a short woman whose ID read Beauty Consultant and she took her sweet old time (maybe because she doesn't have experience with the register). One guy finally came after 10 minutes to open a second register but he was approached by another staff member, probably manager, repetitively asking him "you're leaving Danielle?" and disapproving of him opening up the second register. Are you kidding me!? Why are you bothering him and not opening up a third one!?
