Walgreens

I was actually very happy when this Walgreens opened, so I wish I was here writing a positive review for the store, but sadly that isn't going to be the case. Instead I'm going to write a review warning people about using this store and their parking lot. AVOID THIS STORE AND THEIR PARKING LOT!



I wasn't a fan of the Safeway that use to exist in this location, the store was dingy, poorly stocked and they were extremely hostile about the parking lot. As a result I actively avoided the Safeway and their lot. When the Walgreens went in however they seemed to be more realistic about it and put up signs limiting parking to 30 minutes. The store was nice, new, shiny and clean and well stocked. I frequently found myself hitting the Chipotle next door for food, Walgreens for odds and ends including some tasty red vines and my bank on the opposite side. It was great given all three were right next to each other and I could knock out three errands without having to move my car.



Apparently however the Walgreens has changed their mind and has hired and extremely aggressive tow company to police their lot. This tow company will tow you and charge you $125 for the experience for merely daring to walk into any store but Walgreens first.



How did I find this out you may ask? Well I found this out last night when my car was towed literally 5 minutes after arriving, long enough for me to walk into Chipotle to pick up the order I'd placed a half hour ago online before walking over to Walgreens.



The towing company was hostile and unapologetic and accused me of stealing by parking in that spot to run two errands. This store has lost a customer and I will tell everyone I can to beware of what basically amounts to extortion on the part of the tow company.



I understand the people from the Jammin Java tend to take all of the parking during their concerts, but punishing actual customers is unforgivable.



For shame Walgreens, I'll order my Red Vines online and use the CVS instead.



If you absolutely must go here be sure to go into Walgreens first! Though given how hostile the tow company is and the fact that store employees told us this happened to another customer earlier in the day I'm not even sure going into Walgreens first will help.
