I’ve never had such a negative experience at a Walgreens.. this one is almost comical if it didn’t put me in such a bad mood.
For starters, it was cash only, so I had to pay an ATM fee to purchase anything… a lot of their shelves were totally empty and they were out of of so much. I was looking for something specific, but when I asked the associate, she really had no idea. A customer ended up helping me find what I was looking for but of course, they were out of stock.
I needed a passport photo, but was wearing a cream-colored shirt. The woman was pretty rude about it. I asked if she had anything I could drape over myself like a towel or a sweater or anything. She said no, rolled up the backdrop, and walked away from me…in a pretty unfriendly manner in my opinion.
Luckily, there was someone nearby who heard what was going on and he lent me his sweater (thank you random stranger!). She seemed so annoyed by me at this point that she didn’t even pull the backdrop back down for me when I was ready to take my pic…. I pulled it down myself.
I was surprised that she didn’t let me see my photos before printing them (they were horrible) and she barely had a personality during our interactions. I paid $16 for the pics which I thought was pretty outrageous (I paid $7 and $10 in other stores… lesson learned, I’ll go somewhere else next time) but whatever. I’m glad to be out of there…
Maybe I caught this woman on a bad day, but her negative energy definitely transferred over to me. I’m grateful for the other random people in the store who were much more helpful than she was.
On another note.. there was one lady working there who was super friendly… I appreciated her ◡̈ ~abambyh
