Revisiting Walgreens 37 Years Later: My First Job at 17 – A Nostalgic Journey!
Back in the day, when I was just 17 and attending high school in Chicago, I landed my first job at this very Walgreens in Lincolnwood IL. It was a fun and memorable experience where I met a lot of other high schoolers from the area. It was the most fun I had and earning over $4 per hour seemed like I was on top of the world. There was even a girl I worked with who asked me to be her date at her prom at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, which was very flattering. :-)
Fast forward to today and 37 years later, and I'm stepping back inside for the first time since those teenage years. It's incredible to see how much has changed and yet how much still feels the same. Incredibly, this Walgre...

OfficeMax is still surviving post COVID, but how? if the store is this empty?
Просмотров 11312 часов назад
Today I'm in Niles Il, about to walk into an OfficeMax I hadn't been inside the store for over 25 years! Just some brief history: OfficeMax, founded in 1988, was once the third-largest office supplies retailer in the United States. In 2013, it merged with Office Depot, transforming into a brand and subsidiary of Office Depot. This merger made it the largest U.S. office supplies chain, although ...

Interestingly, I've never made a purchase from Kohl's, which might hint at some challenges the retailer is facing. With inflation looming and consu...

As for some background, Ross Stores, Inc., ...

    JoAnn has the stupidest pricing methods. Overpriced stuff nobody will buy because the price isn't be reasonable without a coupon and who knows when that item will be marked down? If you need something right away, you overpay just to get it and you feel like a sucker. Plus they always act like trying to check out or get fabric cut is a huge ordeal for them.

    I remember driving from the Milwaukee area to go here. It was quite the place. High end stores, yet it had all of the basics as well as specialty places that we did not have in Wisconsin. The mall was always relaxing to me...a good color scheme to walk through. And the Christmas decorations back then...spectacular (well, when malls and store used to go out of their way to put them up).

    Visited your channel and noticed it's lagging in comparison to others. Your channel lacks effective SEO optimization. Despite having awesome content, your videos aren't garnering the views they deserve. The primary issue lies in the SEO, currently rated at 10.1/100%, falling significantly short of the recommended 80 to 90%.

    Back in the 70s/80s Northbrook Court was really something else. Now it looks like even the Neiman's has gone downhill. So sad. Now they just need to put a Wal-Mart or Costco and a bunch of Vape shops in. I.Magnin was once an anchor department store too. It was where the movie theater is now.

    Last time I went to BigLots was to get a great deal on a decent size swimming pool. I had a 15% off coupon and the pool was already discounted. When I was at the counter I noticed how old the money register was and it reminded me of KMART. This was two years ago. From time to time they can have good deals but not the best store for daily purchases.

    I used to live in Niles about 10 years ago; I've noticed two other Best Buys in Skokie-one across from Old Orchard Mall, near the DSW shoe store. In my perspective, Best Buy seems outdated, and I foresee a fate similar to what happened to Toys "R" Us. People aren't flocking to electronic stores in droves anymore, and the last Black Friday sale I went to last year, was nothing like it used to be..when I used to line up hours before the store opened..
