Duane Reade - Closed

Very convenient - it opens 24/7. However, they have a lack of stock (for example, few makeup shades displayed). The location is great though, next to the 51st subway stop

Managers-security guards are inappropriate and invasive

Been using this pharmacy for 7+ years. Don't really care for DR stores in general, but this specific branch (51st & Lex) has the absolute BEST PHARMACY STAFF, helpful, attentive, informative. The Pharmacist actually remembers who you are and your concerns/situation. Always impressed by that. Will continue to use them in the future.

I will start of by saying I go to this location a lot since I work next to it but today was the first unprofessional interaction. The beauty care manager who I never seen before came up to me to help when she saw me trying to figure what nails to buy . she was really close and spoke to me and I said okay this is weird but I will come back for them. I shopped a bit and finally decided to get them I looked for the button to call someone & I guess I looked weird with my dark green hair looking around because she appears & looks me up and down, checks out my basket with a judging look so I tell her I want the black nails and extra glue because I dont know what Im doing not even a side smile okay fine Im weird sometimes. As Im walking to go to check out she does a fast little walk beside me to give you guys a little detail the door is close to the registers. She gets next to me and asks me if I want to check out and I laugh & Im like maam I come here everyday Im not stealing anything. She gets a bit embarrassed and tells me her title and that she provides this care to everyone who walks in to get a sale and that she provides samples. I tell her oh thats interesting. She begins to say she didnt think I was stealing. Fast forward she is making awkward small talk and one of my items didnt have a barcode so I ran to get a new one but As Im walking back she is opening one of my other items. I was annoyed & opted out of buying the item. She stated she thought it was cute once more I was like okay I dont want it this went on for a few she even asked if I wanted the store card to afford the item she opened after a final no. I have enough cards We exchange pleasantries awkwardly & I headed out with my items. There were no samples or anything just a sadden mood and confusing. I know she probably feels very accomplished she stopped a crime from happening.
