Out of curiosity... where did you grow up? I grew up in Chicago (where Walgreens is from) and I routinely avoid CVS and shop at Walgreens if I have the choice.

Out of curiosity... where did you grow up?
I grew up in Chicago (where Walgreens is from) and I routinely avoid CVS and shop at Walgreens if I have the choice. My girlfriend is from NY so she never saw Walgreens until her 20s so she avoids Walgreens and goes to CVS.

- bbarn 11y agoOdd. Chicagoan here too.. I find staff at Walgreens to be some of the most miserable employees I run into in the retail sector, whereas CVS employees generally try to be helpful and seem to not hate their life. I think once you cross the white pharmacy curtain, regulatory concerns and negotiated insurance rates pretty much make them exactly the same, but the rest of the store.. I pick CVS since they took over Osco. I was an Osco loyalist too.. and totally pissed when that happened.
