I heard a rumor today..

If you whisper 'binax' into a mirror 3 times, a Walgreens employee will come up behind you and tell you they're out of stock

Walgreens NEEDS self-checkout. For the love of god, add it please. Lines are so long with only 1 or 2 cashiers open out of 10

Seriously, I’m sick of it. Riteaid does it and we love it. Walgreens adds refrigerators with tv screens that almost nobody cares about. They could’ve spent those millions on self-checkout which is MUCH more useful.
