You know, there was a time that I used to really enjoy going around to stores to see what they have. Not just Walgreens, but a lot of stores that carried toys and action figures. I hate it now because most of these stores just don't care. Their shelves are empty, the employees are rude, distribution is horrible and nobody cares if the figures are trashed going onto the shelves. I'd much rather just order things online from websites that know these are collectibles and box condition matters than to waste my time and gas driving around.

I did check this morning and the Walgreens manager said that he hasn't seen anything yet and that none of the Walgreens in the area has even received notice that the Horror Pops are coming. I guess I'm going to just sit here and enjoy my Strawberry Hubba Bubba.

Like they are supposed to be some huge top secret thing that customers shouldnt have. The worst was when I was looking for one of the star wars pops. It showed they had it on the app, but they had no pops in the store that would be grouped up with that inventory count. I asked a lady and said that the app showed they had them and I have the WIC number if she can look them up. She responded "we dont have anything, we arent stupid, we know how to do our job."...I just stood there in shock for a second and left.

These are exactly the same 6 that both the Walgreens locations in my town received.
. The only difference are potential chases

Do you normally just ask if they have pops in the back? The walgreens around me would just stare at me until I leave.

I actually took my IPad in with me and showed them the screenshot of the Walgreens Halloween box and asked if they could check in the back.
