Whom lives near a Walgreens?
Scary..I was there yesterday and they announced over the PA that they are making a special employment drive to hire retirees.......they'll have to compete with Walmart. Now I have 2 places to work in my 'golden years'

Ohhh, BTW, If you are chocoholic they have the BEST ice Cream. It is Bear Claws.....chocolate ice cream with gobs of carmel running thru it and chucks of dark chocolate. It is to die for.

3. I don't and I live in PA
matter of fact I can't even recall going by a Walgreens and unlike many in this county I actually do leave it and have left the state.

10. They might have a fight here
all the pharmacies around here are Rite-Aid, CVS and a couple of Eckerds and they mostly have the entire county covered.

13. They'll open a store right across the street from CVS.
They're scrappy like that.

Bow down to your Walgreens God.

2. Both of my next door neighbors are Walgreens.
Not Walgreens employees, but actual Walgreens stores.

Seriously, there are about 10 Walgreens within a 3 mile radius from where I live.

8. Those are two things I have no intention of doing in my golden years.
1. Gourging myself on ice cream.
2. Working, especially at a place like Walgreens.

11. I do. It's just a couple of miles away from my house
(I live in the country).

Now I know where to apply for the third job that I so desperately need nowadays!

12. The ice cream wasn't bad
I've had it before, though I don't think I got it at Walgreens but somewhere else.

They are all over the place. I'm in MI.

14. Where I'm at in AZ, I've heard that the Walgreens here in town............
has the highest per capita alcohol sales of any Walgreens in the USA.

And I've heard that repeated from several different sources.

These 'retired', old folks really love their booze.

As far as employment, most here in this town are 'minimum wage' type earners.
