5. I used to like going to Walgreens when I lived in SF in a very walkable neighbourhood.

The one here in exurbia is dreadful, known thugs living in the parking lot, lots of empty shelves, small selection, stuff locked up because of rampant theft, so you have to wait around until an employee shows up to unlock it for you.

I started ordering drugstore type stuff online during covid and I have no reason to go back to dealing with the local store. I do occasionally go into the Walgreens north of here in more upscale Napa when I’m food shopping. And the CVS and the pharmacy in the back of Safeway locally are less depressing.
