About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, as a regular was checking out, he heard an announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention please! Our cashier is taking a break, and our register will now accept exact change only.’ Since then, everyone’s coins have been mysteriously sorted and organized every morning. A few days later, a delivery driver arrived with a huge box of loose change. ‘What’s this?’ asked the manager. The driver shrugged, ‘Someone must’ve found your lost quarters!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that Walgreens’ mysterious coin-sorting service had become its own urban legend.
2. One day, while waiting in line for prescriptions, a regular noticed something strange on the shelf behind him. ‘Did anyone else see that?’ he whispered nervously. The pharmacist looked up and calmly replied, ‘No, sir. That’s just our new display of expired items.’ Just then, an elderly neighbor walked in with his pet parrot on his shoulder. The bird squawked loudly, ‘Hey, doc! Got any expired aspirin left? I feel like singing!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another Walgreens prank.
3. While standing in line to pick up her monthly supply of vitamins, an elderly lady whispered to herself, ‘I wonder if they’ve run out of that special flavor again?’ Finally, she reached the counter where a young pharmacist smiled and asked what she needed. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'Just my usual, dear—except can you believe they've changed the flavor back?'
4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens with a truckload of goods. As he approached the entrance, he noticed a sign taped to the door that read: ‘Closed for emergency restocking – please come back later.’ Curious and slightly amused, he drove away, only to return half an hour later to find the same sign still there. Finally, after an hour of waiting, the delivery driver decided to knock on the door. A sleepy-looking pharmacist peered out and grumbled, 'Emergency restocking takes longer than expected.' The driver laughed and said, 'Next time you close unexpectedly, could you maybe leave a note with your estimated opening time?'
