About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, an elderly gentleman asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does the Walgreens cash register always say “Thank you for shopping” even when I’m just picking up my prescription?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Sir, our computer thinks everyone is buying something.' A few days later, a delivery driver joked, "Maybe next time it’ll say ‘Welcome back!’" And a neighbor quipped, 'I bet it’ll finally greet us with, “Have a nice day!”'

2. At midnight, a sleep-deprived delivery driver asked the cashier, 'Why do you always say "Have a nice day" when I look like I've had none?' The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Because even if you’ve had no sleep, my wish still makes your day a little brighter.’ The delivery driver nodded, muttered something about magic words, and left with a slightly lighter heart. As he drove away, a neighbor passing by whispered, ‘That Walgreens really knows how to work their charm.’

3. In the early morning hours, a small dog darted into Walgreens, startled by something unseen. The clerk looked around curiously but found nothing amiss. Suddenly, an old lady with a shopping cart full of groceries appeared from behind the counter. ‘That little rascal!’ she exclaimed. 'He always sneaks in here before dawn.' The dog wagged his tail and trotted out as if on cue, while the clerk shook her head with a smile.

4. In the middle of a quiet afternoon, a young mom approached the counter with her crying baby. ‘Excuse me,’ she said, ‘why is everyone here so calm when my little one won’t stop fussing?’ The pharmacist smiled gently and replied, 'Ma’am, they’re not calm—just experienced. They know that once you leave Walgreens with your shopping bag, your baby will suddenly fall asleep.' The mom laughed, shook her head, and soon both her and the baby were smiling as she left the store.
