United States Postal Service
This post office has helped me out enormously. I can't get packages at my apartment without a huge hassle, and this post office has helped me out on numerous occasions. I got a post office box so I could more easily get mail (they even told me how to circumvent when somewhere won't take an order with a PO box: put the actual address of the post office, then put #yourboxnumber). They are super patient and so much more reliable than FedEx or UPS, who bungle all the packages sent to my house. Long live the USPS. ~rachel
Elgin Medicine Shop
Elgin Medicine Shop is the absolute best pharmacy anyone could EVER go to! I know the pharmacist by his first name, Colin. He is the sweetest guy in the world! He answers all of my crazy questions completely and fully, to make sure that I understand every medication that I am taking. The ladies behind the counter always have a huge smile and always know me by my name when I walk in. They're so very sweet There's no waiting for HOURS, like all the other pharmacies!! If you walk in STRAIGHT from the doctor's office, and If they know you're standing there waiting, they'll have your stuff done in mere minutes. You absolutely cannot go wrong if you switch to this pharmacy. They are the best! ~Angela
Texaco Elgin
Sign says gas is $2.49 per gallon but the pump charges you $2.59 per gallon. Guess they false advertising to ensure people would stop to get their gas there. If I didn't need the gas, I would have gotten my money put back on my card just because they're false advertising. ~D
