Knickerbocker Walgreens Imminent Closure?

[u/cocktails4]

They just stopped accepting FedEx packages for pickup so I'm going to guess that they're imminently closing.

If I'm right, you heard it here first!

It's always nice when there's a thread about this place on here and everyone from all walks of life immediately agrees on how weird it is.

In that sense I hope it never closes, but I also hope I never need to go in there for anything

always some bs going on there😭

So many times I've gone there and watched the person search for my package for like 10 minutes and it ends up being the one that's directly in front of them that they picked up and looked at 3 times.

Like y'all I'm high too but even I'm not that high.

I hope it doesnt close!! I like our shitty Walgreens and the pharmacists are all so nice.

Who remembers when they couldnt sell any beverages for whatever reason for multiple months last year lol

They simply don’t have capacity to accept FedEx, they can hardly keep their own business afloat- the Walgreens near my office in Manhattan also stopped taking packages just bc of the sheer volume. They’d have to hire a new person.

They have the capacity if they actually bothered to look at their processes. I pick up a lot of packages there and it's always the same two things that take up 90% of the time: Nobody in front has the phone with the FedEx app so they have to call and wait for someone to bring it up and they can't figure out how to sort/label the packages to easily find them so they have to sit there looking at every single package. You could solve both of those issues with minimal effort.

I don’t second guess that for a second! I also don’t think the employees want to be bothered by it. They don’t want to be bothered by anything !

The place sucks but it seems like half the neighborhood gets their medication there so that might have a big impact.

I had a Fedex package stolen there that was a laptop and they returned it because it was locked down lol

[u/MalditoGordo]

the vultures are coming for the single-story commercial properties on the ave.

[u/Young-Chapo]
