I go to Walgreens all the time for prescriptions and all the yellow tags sale pricing on otc medicine and groceries are way cheaper than anywhere else. Their regular pricing is more like convenience store $$$. There’s always only 1 person at the register and there’s always a line and the store is falling apart inside.. their sign outside has been off and destroyed since Hurricane Ian and the parking lot is always dirty and needs to be repaved. I think their employees spend all their time putting up the yellow sale tags… they switch them all the time.

I live in a fairly rural, yet affluent, area and there are like three Walgreens within 10 mins. All are really really nice, bright, organized and clean, but completely devoid of customers and employees, and the parking lots are always empty. I don't know how they stay afloat.

What's a Walgreens? They bought out all our Rite-Aids and then pulled up every single Walgreens for over 2800+ square miles in this county except for one that it'd take me over an hour to drive to. (2 hours for CVS!)

Now every Walgreens that existed up here is now a hardware store, a Shoe Department, or nothing.

They didn’t stay afloat. Walgreens was acquired in 2025 by Sycamore Partners, the leveraged buyout fund that bought Staples in 2017 and made Staples what it is today.

Prescription drugs for some are very expensive.

I thought Duane Reade went out of business. Guess they just don't have any in my region.

I'm old enough to remember when Manhattan's #1drug store was Duane Read. I believe there were cross streets of
Duene street and Read streets where the first location stood near the City Hall. although that may have been a coincidence. And now I'm n to sure there are any left ;-(

Ht me right in the feels.

That sounds exactly like the CVS in my area. And the same old lady (who has always looked old) has been there since 1999 when I moved there. And the smell in that store...ugh.

What is Staples today?

Staples takes official passport photos in my area. So I go there once every ten years. 🤣 It was actually pretty funny... a few months ago three people all showed up to have a photo taken, and the photographer couldn't find the camera. Most people just do it themselves now, but I still like "official" in the title of the photo I submit. Nine years (or death) until I have to worry again. By then Staples will be gone.

Who goes to Walgreens enough for this card “bonus” to be worth while?

The only time I stop by Walgreens any more is to pick up prescriptions for relatives. CVS sends me a $3 or $4 coupon seemingly every week, and I'm just on the free tier of their rewards program. (Pay tier would be worth it if I shopped there more.) If I check the apps before making a trip, they're usually cheaper than Walgreens anyway. Oh, and CVS does offer free order pickup at my local store. I've used that a couple times, including having a relative pick up my order when I could barely get out of bed. I don't use them for prescriptions, though.

I went to one on Roosevelt Island last summer and it’s still operating today.
 
Too late for me. Filled my prescriptions there a week ago or so. Oh well. Guess will keep it in mind the next time I venture in there (probably again just for my prescriptions).
